Basic Information
Asaba Harumasa is a member of the Hollow Special Operations Section 6 faction, which includes Tsukishiro Yanagi, Soukaku, and the new character Hoshimi Miyabi.
As an Electric attacker, Harumasa sacles off Attack and primarily CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. Interestingly, he does benefit from an Anomaly being placed on an enemy.
However, for the most part, he excels in a stun setup, where his teammate stuns the enemy first and then unleashes his damage. This is due to his core passive, which we'll discuss in the Core Skills section.
His playstyle, blending both ranged and melee attacks, is one-of-a-kind in the game. With exceptional mobility and high damage potential, he's a formidable force on the battlefield.
Thanks to the CRIT Stats he gets for free, you can easily hit huge numbers of CRIT Rate and damage on his Dash Attack, which is going to be your main source of damage.

Final Thoughts
For the question we mentioned at the beginning, does Harumasa match the S-Rank classification? The answer is yes.
Harumasa compensates for his archetype's weaknesses with insane damage multipliers and excellent Synergy with some of the best supports available.
But here is the twist, his damage output is heavily dependent on his weapon and support team. So you do need to have a reliable Stun. Otherwise, his damage output will take a hit.
Even though Harumasa is a free-to-play character, you would need to pull for his greatest allies, Rina and Qingyi, to optimize his damage output.
