Hysilens Honkai Star Rail Guide Skill Breakdown, Best Relics, Teams, and More

Hysilens brings a fresh spin to Physical DoT damage in Honkai: Star Rail. As a Physical Nihility carry, she shines when damage-over-time effects stack up. In this guide, we’ll start with her core kit, walk through her relics and planars, suggest light cones, show you top team combos, and wrap up with tips on how to get the most out of her. Whether you’re a DoT main or just curious about a new DPS option, this article covers everything you need.

Hysilens’ Core Kit Explanation

Talent (Omni-DoT Application)

• Every time an ally attacks, Hysilens applies one of four DoTs—Bleed, Burn, Shock, or Wind Shear—with 100% base chance.
• Each DoT ticks for 25% of her ATK at turn start or on detonation. Wind Shear can stack up to 5 times per target.

Ultimate (Zone & Extra DoT Damage)

• Creates a 3-turn zone that lowers enemy DEF by 25% (about a 15.4% damage boost for any attacker).
• While enemies inside the zone take DoT damage, Hysilens deals an additional Physical DoT equal to 80% of her ATK, up to 8 times per enemy each turn. With multiple DoTs, that extra damage multiplies quickly.

Skill (AoE with Vulnerability)

• Deals area damage and applies a 20% universal vulnerability debuff—great for enhancing team DoT and follow-up attacks.

Technique (Initial DoT Stacks)

• Summons a lure bubble that draws enemies in, then applies two of her elemental DoTs at battle start. This kickstarts her DoT ramps before her first action.

Trace Passives & SP Gain

• Priority: Ultimate > Talent > Skill > Basic Attack.
• A2: Auto-creates her zone at battle start and grants 1 SP each time she uses her ultimate.
• A4: Adds a 150% DoT detonation multiplier to her own DoTs when she uses her ultimate.
• A6: When her Effect Hit Rate (EHR) reaches 120%, she grants herself a 90% universal damage buff.
• Traces grant 14 SPD, 18% ATK, and 10% EHR—key stats to aim for.

2. Eidolon Highlights

• E1: 1.16× DoT damage boost for all allies and applies a duplicate DoT whenever she inflicts one—doubling her stacks to eight. This supercharges both her own damage and that of DoT teammates.
• E2: Extends her A6 buff to the whole team whenever her zone is active—useful for triple-DoT compositions.
• E4: Adds an all-type resistance shred when her zone is active—roughly a 1.2× damage multiplier for non-DoT allies.
• E6: Increases her extra-DoT damage from 80% to 108% ATK and raises the cap from 8 to 12 procs per enemy per turn.

3. Best Relics & Planar Ornament Sets

• Relic Set: Prisoner in Deep Confinement is her go-to for pure DoT damage.

Planar Ornament:

• Revelry by the Sea (if you can reach 120% EHR) for extra DoT damage.
• Pan–Cosmic if you need more EHR alongside ATK.
• Space Sealing or Glamoth are solid alternatives if you can’t hit 120% EHR.

Stat Priorities

• Chest: EHR or ATK% (whichever gets you to 120% EHR).
• Boots: ATK% with SPD subs (aim for ~134 SPD to optimize ult timing).
• Orb: Physical DMG Bonus or ATK% (whichever rolls better subs).
• Rope: ATK% for higher damage, or Energy if you need extra SP.

4. Preferred Light Cones

• Signature Cone (Why Does the Ecean Sing): +40% EHR, applies “Enthrallment” on debuffed enemies, boosts DoT taken by up to 30%, and grants a 10% SPD buff to allies on attacks. A mini Harmony effect tailored for DoT teams.
• Reforged Rememberance, Those Many Springs
• 4-Star Options: Eyes of the Prey, Good Night, Sleep Well, or It’s Showtime (for SPD and damage support).

5. Team Composition Ideas

Core Duo

• Hysilens + Kafka: Non-negotiable. Kafka’s frequent detonations fuel Hysilens’ extra-DoT procs and helps meet EHR targets.

Third DPS/Amplifier

• Black Swan: More detonation stacks and DEF shred for huge damage spikes.
• Robin/Ruan Mei: Mini Harmony buffs and turn support, helping frontload DoTs.
• Cipher: Provides SP, damage storage, and extra DEF shred support.

Support/Sustain

• Huohuo or Aventurine: For extra SP and continuous damage ticks.
• Gallagher (QPQ): SP battery for your DoT trio, especially if you run triple-DoT.
• Hyacine: Passive SP regen and extra attacks to ramp DoTs.

Hysilens shines in a dedicated DoT setup, offering unique omni-DoT application and a powerful extra-DoT mechanic through her zone. With the right relics, EHR, and a Kafka core, she can outpace most Physical carries.

While she doesn’t reinvent the archetype, she boosts it to new heights and keeps DoT teams competitive in all content. If you love watching those ticking numbers and want one of the most satisfying DPS units in Honkai: Star Rail, Hysilens is worth your pulls. Good luck, and may your DoTs land true!
