Haki Guide — Buso, Observation & Conqueror's
AdvancedComplete Haki guide — how to unlock all three types, leveling EXP tables, evolution quests, Ultra Instinct, and Haki colors.
Haki Guide — Complete Reference
Haki is one of the most important progression systems in Haze Seas. There are three types: Buso (Armament) for damage, Observation (Ken) for dodging, and Conqueror's (Haoshoku) for crowd control. Each has its own unlock method, leveling system, and evolution path.
Buso Haki — Armament Haki
Buso coats your weapon/body in black hardening, increasing damage and letting you hit Logia fruit users. Only affects sword and fighting style damage — does NOT boost fruit damage.

Triggered when two players activate Conqueror's Haki within 300 studs of each other:
