To maximize the potential of the HSR Hysilens build, substantial investments in key stats are essential for fully optimizing the abilities of this 5-star Nihility character. Nevertheless, players can achieve impressive results with Hysilens even without fully unlocking her capabilities or including Kafka in their roster. A well-thought-out approach to her build can make a significant difference.
This article outlines the most effective strategies for building Hysilens in Honkai Star Rail. We will cover her ideal Light Cones, Relics, essential statistics, and optimal team compositions.
Optimal Hysilens Build
Light Cone Selections for Hysilens
Hysilens offers a variety of effective Nihility Light Cones, with her signature cone, Why Does the Ocean Sing, standing out. This Light Cone boosts the wearer’s effect hit rate by 40 percent and grants an 80 percent chance to inflict the Enthrallment status for a duration of three turns whenever a debuff is applied. The Enthrallment status notably amplifies damage from debuffs by up to 30 percent when stacked six times and provides a speed boost for allies when they attack the affected target.
Another strong option is Jiaoqiu’s Those Many Springs, which enhances the effect hit rate by 60 percent and can inflict the unarmored status, increasing damage taken by opponents. For targets affected by damage-over-time (DOT) effects, unarmored transitions to cornered, increasing damage taken by an additional 14 percent.
The Reforged Remembrance by Black Swan is also a commendable option, offering a 40 percent effect hit rate increase and stacking Prophet with each DOT inflicted on enemies – a stack that grants a 5 percent attack boost while allowing DOT effects to bypass a portion of enemy defense.
While Kafka’s Patience is All You Need can be advantageous, it’s crucial to remember that achieving Hysilens’ third major trace will necessitate exceptional Relic rolls to achieve the 120 percent effect hit rate. This Light Cone increases damage by 24 percent and enhances speed with multiple stacks after attacks, alongside inflicting the Erode effect, which contributes significantly to Hysilens’ damage output.
Another unexpected but strategic choice is Welt’s In the Name of the World, which increases damage against debuffed enemies significantly. However, it’s important to note that Hysilens requires a broader effect hit rate, making this a secondary choice if preferred options are available.
Additional 4-Star Light Cone Options
Hysilens may also consider several 4-star Light Cones such as Eyes of the Prey, which delivers a reliable 20/40 percent effect hit rate increase with a boost to DOT damage.Before the Tutorial Mission Starts, obtainable through Herta’s store, increases effect hit rate while regenerating energy when attacking enemies with reduced defense. As many of Hysilens’ abilities revolve around defense reduction, this is highly beneficial.
It’s Showtime, a further 4-star option, raises damage when inflicting debuffs and can stack damage bonuses, making it a versatile choice for effectively managing enemy defenses.
Relic Choices for Hysilens
The current best-in-slot set for Hysilens is Prisoner in Deep Confinement until further sets that focus on DOT are introduced. This set provides:
- Two-piece effect: Boosts attack by 12 percent.
- Four-piece effect: Allows the wearer to ignore 6 percent of enemy defense for every DOT applied, stacking up to three times.
Hysilens Ornaments
The Revelry by the Sea ornament set remains the premier choice for Hysilens, specifically tailored for boosting damage over time. It requires a strong emphasis on the wearer’s attack stats:
- Increases the wearer’s attack by 12 percent. When the attack reaches 2, 400/3, 600, the DOT damage increases by 12/24 percent.
Investing in speed for Hysilens can also yield benefits. Consider using the Firmament Frontline Glamoth set, which offers the following advantages:
- Increases attack by 12 percent, with additional damage gains for those reaching or exceeding the specified speed benchmarks.
Essential Hysilens Stats
When designing your build for Hysilens, consider that her stat requirements will differ based on the Light Cones and Relics you opt for. Generally, maintaining at least a 60 effect hit rate ensures that her DOTs and debuffs effectively reach their targets. High attack stats are essential as this will amplify the impact of her DOTs.
Hysilens can deliver up to a 90 percent damage increase for every 10 percent of effect hit rate beyond 60. Targeting 120 percent effect hit rate will be necessary to unlock her full potential, which may require exceptional stat rolls or well-chosen Light Cones that enhance effect hit rate.
It’s important to note that even suboptimal effect hit rates still provide damage benefits, though these will be less substantial.
If utilizing the Revelry by the Sea ornament set, aim for a striking 3, 600 attack. This can limit the inclusion of speed and energy regeneration on certain gear, highlighting the need to balance stats carefully. A 24 percent DOT damage increase is considerable, making this investment worthwhile.
Here’s a summary of suggested stats:
- Body: Effect hit rate if using a non-EHR Light Cone; attack if it’s not.
- Feet: Attack.
- Sphere: Attack.
- Rope: Energy regeneration, unless further attack is needed.
Team Compositions for Hysilens
Primarily, Hysilens excels as a DOT dealer with the ability to shred enemy defenses. Her ultimate ability allows her to deal additional damage for each DOT applied to her enemies. Furthermore, her second passive trace enables her to trigger existing DOTs instantly, resulting in a powerful spike in damage output.
For optimal performance, consider pairing Hysilens with teammates who excel at applying multiple DOT effects or characters capable of activating her talents during their turns. An ideal team composition may look like this:
- Hysilence
- Kafka
- Black Swan
- A sustain unit
In this setup, characters like Black Swan and Kafka synergize effectively. Black Swan applies wind shear while reducing enemy defenses, maximizing the damage output from both Hysilens and Kafka.
However, if you prefer a less complex team, Hysilens can still thrive with just one additional DOT character. Options include:
- Sampo
- Guinaifen
- Wound
While Luka is limited to single-target damage, Guinaifen and Sampo can dispense their debuffs to multiple enemies simultaneously.
This setup allows flexibility for a support character; however, focusing on support that boosts damage, speed, or attack rather than crit damage is most beneficial. Recommended support characters might include:
- Robin (also providing extra turns for detonating DOTs)
- Bronya (for action advance and damage increases)
- Sunday (for similar impacts on action and damage)
- Ruan Mei (for damage boosts and all-type RES penetration)
- Tribbie (providing additional all-type RES penetration)
When utilizing Bronya or Sunday, ensure these characters’ speed is lower than Hysilens to allow for optimal turn order.
Furthermore, since Hysilens relies heavily on skill points, incorporating sustain units without a high demand for skill points will enhance her team’s endurance. Consider these options:
- Lynx
- Gallagher
- Luocha
- Aventurine
Can Hysilens Support Acheron?
While Hysilens can function within Acheron’s lineup by fulfilling the requirement for two additional Nihility characters, her damage output diminishes as she focuses more on debuffing enemies. Other characters like Jiaoqiu, Pela, and Silber Wolf provide considerable contributions without compromising their damage functionality. For optimal effectiveness, concentrate on building Hysilens within teams that assemble multiple DOT effects for maximum synergy.
