Solo boost fit
In a solo boost the Eternus 6 booster logs into your account after the encrypted credential handoff and plays Haze as a single-target weapon assassin. The booster closes on the enemy backline under Smoke Bomb, opens with Sleep Dagger on whoever is out of position, then stacks Fixation with headshots until that target drops, saving Bullet Dance for a fight where several enemies are already low. It is a stable request because Haze's kill pressure comes from the booster's own aim and target selection. The one risk is a lobby that never leaves anyone alone, which delays the pick until her weapon build comes online.
Duo boost notes
In a duo boost you play every game on your own account next to the Eternus 6 booster, so the plan is about who opens and who cleans up. If you are on Haze, call your Sleep Dagger target before the throw so the booster holds fire until your Fixation stacks are rolling, because any damage wakes the sleeping target early. If the booster is on Haze, you draw attention while the booster fades out of sight with Smoke Bomb, then stand between her and the enemy once Bullet Dance starts, since the channel slows her down and makes her the obvious target.
When to request this hero
Request Haze by name when you want the climb played through a close-range weapon build that wins by picking off isolated targets, or when your own duo games are built around a Sleep Dagger setup. Let the booster pick instead if the goal is the fastest possible rank movement, because Haze's damage scales with her weapon items and needs time to come online, and a booster who is free to choose can often skip that setup.

FAST ANSWERS
Should I request Haze for a Deadlock boost?
Request Haze if you want your rank climbed by a single-target weapon assassin who catches enemies out of position with Sleep Dagger and shoots them down with Fixation stacks. If hero choice does not matter to you, leave the pick open and the booster will choose whatever gets your account to the target rank quickest.
Is Haze better for solo or duo boosting?
Solo suits Haze best, because her value comes from one player's aim, target choice, and Smoke Bomb positioning, and the booster controls all of that alone on your account. Duo works when you and the booster agree on who throws Sleep Dagger and who follows up, since a sleeping target that gets hit too early wakes up and the setup is wasted.
What makes Haze different to boost with?
Haze does not kill with one ability. Her damage builds shot by shot through Fixation, so the booster has to commit to one target and keep landing headshots on it, with Smoke Bomb hiding the walk-in and Bullet Dance closing fights where several enemies are already low.
