Honkai: Star Rail – Hysilens build and ascension guide

by

With an exceptional Honkai: Star Rail Hysilens setup, create a lethal symphony to remember against your adversaries. This devotee of The Void excels at dealing Physical Damage and is particularly proficient in causing damaging-over-time (DoT) effects.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase that ability as follows:

“With Hysilens’ Overtone Hum: Chorus After Dark Tides, I unleash a wave of physical damage that strikes every enemy, dealing harm based on my own attack power. On top of that, there’s a good chance this assault will leave them vulnerable, amplifying the damage they take over the next three turns.

In simpler terms, “Her Ultimate, Maelstrom Rhapsody,” creates a zone lasting for three turns that lowers the attack and defense of all opponents. During this period, if an enemy within the zone is afflicted with a Damage-over-Time (DoT) effect, Hysilens counters by dealing Physical DoT based on her own attack power to that enemy. She can execute this counter up to eight times at the beginning of each turn or following an ally’s attack.

One of her abilities enables her to regain a Skill Point for her team upon deploying a Zone, and another triggers immediate damage to all targets affected by her Ultimate’s ongoing damage effects.

With her ability Sirenic Serenade, Hysilens has the knack to cause a random Debuff effect on an enemy attacked by an ally. She strategically chooses to apply a Debuff that the target doesn’t already have. When adversaries endure Burn, Shock, or Wind Shear at the onset of their turn, they sustain additional Debuff damage for two consecutive turns, proportionate to Hysilens’ Attack power. Conversely, when enemies are afflicted with Bleed at the start of their turn, they receive extra Physical Debuff damage according to their own Maximum Health and Hysilens’ Attack power.

Acquiring multiple Hysilens replicas raises your Eidolon’s level, granting access to extra abilities.

Honkai: Star Rail – Hysilens: best Light Cones

As a dedicated gamer, I’m all about boosting my ATK and Effect Hit Rate. My signature weapon, the Light Cone named “Why Does the Ocean Sing,” never fails to deliver on the hit rate front, and it even gives me a chance to ensnare enemies in the Enthrallment debuff. Once caught in this effect, enemies start taking more Damage Over Time for every other debuff I’ve got on them, with up to six layers of this stacking up. To make things even more interesting, my allies get a temporary speed boost whenever they attack an enemy under the Enthrallment debuff.

Honkai: Star Rail – Hysilens: best Relics

The Importance of Effect Hit Rate: Here’s why it matters for Hysilens. Firstly, it enhances the likelihood that her debuffs connect. Secondly, one of her Traces converts any Effect Hit Rate over 60% by 10%, up to a maximum of 90%, into a 15% damage boost. Therefore, aim for an Effect Hit Rate of at least 120%. Aside from this, you should also focus on increasing her Attack and Speed to maximize her damage output.

For Hysilens, energy isn’t a significant concern because her Zone persists for three rounds, which gives ample opportunity to replenish energy for the following round. Defensive attributes like HP, Defense, and Effect Resistance serve as excellent additions, as they boost Hysilens’ longevity in battle by improving her survivability.

Best Relic Sets for Hysilens in HSR:

  • Prisoner in Deep Confinement (4) – +12% ATK, wearer’s attacks will ignore 6% of enemy’s DEF for every DoT the target is suffering from, counting up to three DoTs.

Honkai: Star Rail – Hysilens: best teams

Hysilens is poised to be a key element in the strategy of the DoT (Damage over Time) gameplay, as she herself inflicts considerable Damage over Time and also enhances the damage dealt by her teammates.

  • Kafka (Main DPS), Hysilens (Sub DPS), Black Swan (Sub DPS), Huohuo (Support)

In the latest update of HSR 3.4, Kafka’s enhancements have significantly boosted her Damage over Time (DoT) damage per second, making her a top choice for Main DPS roles in DoT-based teams. She inflicts damage not only during her turn but also outside of it due to her Follow-Up Attacks. Black Swan continues to be a powerful Sub DPS, becoming even more potent when paired with Hysilens. Lastly, Huohuo functions admirably as a Support for this group, offering beneficial Attack boosts and Energy regeneration.

If you prefer not to use a triple DPS (Damage Per Second) composition with a Line-up of characters, consider swapping out Black Swan and replacing her with Ruan Mei. This change could provide an extended Weakness Break effect, which might be beneficial in certain game situations.

Honkai: Star Rail – Hysilens: ascension materials

To achieve the highest level for Hysilens and upgrade all her Traces, here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Gather the necessary resources required to level up Hysilens and upgrade her Traces.
2. Use these resources by selecting the ‘Upgrade’ option in the game interface when you have the required amount.
3. Repeat this process until Hysilens reaches the maximum level and all her Traces are fully upgraded.
4. Keep checking back to see if any new updates or events offer additional resources that can help speed up the process.
5. Enjoy the benefits of a maximally-leveled Hysilens in your game!

To reach level 80 with Hysilens, you’ll need these escalation materials on top of the required Experience Points:

  • Credits x308,000
  • Fear-Stomped Flesh x15
  • Courage-Torn Chest x15
  • Glory-Aspersed Torso x15
  • Invasive Clot x65

In simpler terms, you can gather items like “Fear Crushed Body Parts”, “Valor Ripped Heart”, and “Pride Sprinkled Torso” from Amphoreus or the Simulated Universe. These items can also be crafted or exchanged using the Omni-Synthesizer on the Astral Express. Notably, “Fear Crushed Body Parts” are one of the basic resources you can regularly acquire through your characters’ Daily Missions, providing a consistent supply of this material.

An Obstructive Blood Clot originates from the Stationary Shade (Styxia, City of Dragonbones), and it can either be obtained from there or traded for. The most lucrative means of accumulating Credits are the Golden Calyxes of Treasure’s Bud, scattered throughout the universe.

Hysilens requires the following materials to upgrade her combat abilities and Traces:

  • Credits x3,000,000
  • Fear-Stomped Flesh x41
  • Courage-Torn Chest x56
  • Glory-Aspersed Torso x58
  • Fiery Spirit x18

  • Daythunder Anamnesis x12
  • Tracks of Destiny x8

To find the previously mentioned materials like Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator, look up in the Crimson Calyx (Alchemy Commission). Remember, you can craft high-level materials by breaking down lower-level ones using the Omni-Synthesizer onboard the Astral Express.

In simpler terms, Daythunder Anamnesis is exclusively acquired from the domain known as Echo of War (also called Eye of Twilight or Fortress of Dome), whereas Tracks of Destiny can be obtained during special events such as time-limited events, Embers Exchange, Nameless Honor, or as a reward for Simulated Universe Points.
