For those who believed that the era of stacking HP on Evernight was a thing of the past, we bring good news: the optimal HSR Evernight build options are here to prove otherwise. While her requirements may not rival the extremes of characters like Castorice or Mydei, they do come tantalizingly close. Evernight shines not just as an individual damage dealer but also as a valuable team asset, capitalizing on critical damage enhancements.
This article explores the top builds for Evernight in HSR, detailing her ideal Light Cones, Relics, crucial statistics, and effective team compositions.
Building the Best HSR Evernight
Optimal Light Cones for Evernight
Evernight has a somewhat atypical requirement set influenced by her passive abilities. Her first significant passive grants her an immediate 35% crit rate, while her talent provides substantial crit damage boosts to both her and her memosprite when either loses HP—a scenario that frequently occurs, even without Castorice on the team. This unique mechanic limits her Light Cone choices; equipping her with too high of a crit rate post-trace activation can be counterproductive. Additionally, Evernight functions similarly to the Remembrance Trailblazer, granting crit damage boosts to allies’ memosprites.
To optimize her performance, focus on her HP and crit damage. The signature Light Cone, To Evernight’s Stars, aids in amplifying HP and memosprite enhancements. It boosts the wearer’s HP by 30% and provides the Noctis ability upon the memosprite’s activation, allowing all allied memosprites to bypass 20% of the enemy’s defense while dealing 30% additional damage. Since Evernight’s ultimate already heightens enemy damage susceptibility, this can lead to substantial damage outputs.
For players utilizing Evernight as the primary damage dealer, Make Farewells More Beautiful (associated with Castorice) may also be beneficial, albeit it’s best retained on Castorice if she’s part of your roster. This Light Cone, when activated, grants a vulnerability to 30% of a target’s defense when either the wearer or their memosprite experiences a gain or loss in HP.
Moreover, Evernight has access to valuable 4-star Light Cones from the battle pass.The Flower Remembers is an excellent choice for crit damage, boosting the wearer’s and their memosprite’s crit damage by 24%.Alternatively, Sweat Now, Cry Less enhances crit rate by 12% and increases memosprite damage by 24%.
Top Relics for Evernight
While Evernight’s passive bonuses create specific challenges in assembling a cohesive Relic set, the World-Remaking Deliverer set emerges as a strong option, providing crucial crit rate boosts despite lacking crit damage enhancements.
- Two-piece effect: Increases crit rate by 8%
- Four-piece effect: Grants a 24% HP increase and boosts all ally damage by 15% when the wearer’s memosprite remains on the field after using a skill or basic attack.
If this set does not suit your strategy, consider blending Relics to accumulate crit rate and crit damage. Incorporating elements of Scholar Lost in Erudition for the crit rate bonus, along with pieces from Pioneer Diver or Wavestrider Captain for additional crit damage, can be highly effective.
Essential Ornaments for Evernight
While HoYoverse’s test run suggests using Arcadia of Woven Dreams with Evernight, it is most effective within a full Remembrance team. Using it outside this context limits its benefits significantly.
As an alternative, consider the Bone Collector’s Serene Demesne set, which provides a straightforward increase of 12% HP along with a 28% crit damage boost when the wearer’s HP exceeds 5, 000.
If opting for Arcadia, here are its benefits:
- Each missing or additional ally beyond four targets grants a damage increase to the wearer and their memosprite by 9% or 12%, respectively, stacking up to a maximum of 4 or 3 times.
Understanding Evernight’s Stat Priorities
Evernight primarily relies on HP, crit rate, and crit damage as essential stats. However, given that her skills provide considerable crit rate boosts, the focus should be on maximizing HP and crit damage for an optimal performance. If the goal is strictly crit damage amplification, one can afford to pay less attention to HP, but teams relying heavily on Evernight to deal damage will benefit from higher HP thresholds.
To summarize, aim for the following stat targets:
- 50% crit rate outside of battle
- 200% crit damage
- At least 6, 000 HP (ideally pushing 7, 000 or 8, 000)
For Relic stat allocations, consider these configurations:
- Body: Crit damage
- Feet: HP or speed
- Orb: HP
- Rope: HP
Effective Team Compositions for Evernight
Evernight is ideally suited for synergy within Remembrance teams, functioning as either a supportive character amplifying the capabilities of high-damage teammates or as a principal damage dealer exploiting weak enemy defenses. That said, she remains viable in non-Remembrance teams with appropriate support characters, even if this may slightly limit her effectiveness.
Given Evernight’s crit damage potential and ability to reduce enemy defenses, she pairs exceptionally well with characters like Castorice. An example team lineup could include:
- Evernight
- Castorice
- Remembrance Trailblazer
- Hyacine
This configuration allows Evernight to receive her full suite of buffs, while Hyacine provides healing, enabling Castorice to frequently summon Pollux to the battlefield. Additionally, the Remembrance Trailblazer enhances crit damage, benefiting both Castorice and Evernight.
If Castorice is unavailable but Aglaea is present, consider integrating her into the team. However, you may need to replace Hyacine with an action-advancing character like Sunday or Bronya, due to Aglaea’s high-speed requirements.
For a dedicated Evernight DPS setup, consider the following roster:
- Evernight
- Gallagher
- Remembrance Trailblazer
- Second amplifier
Your second amplifier can focus either on enhancing Evernight’s damage (such as Sunday, Bronya, or Ruan Mei) or further diminishing enemy defenses (like Silver Wolf, Cipher, or Pela).
