Check out what we know about Hysilens’ kit, skills, Traces, and Eidolons as she becomes playable in Honkai Star Rail version 3.5.
Nihility has been the lesser strategy in recent times in Honkai Star Rail, but Hysilens' introduction may change that. See the details of Hysilens' kit, skills, Traces, and Eidolons here.
DoT got a little bit of a boost with the recent Kafka buffs. Hysilens might be the one missing piece for DoT parties to be some of the best in the game once again.
Hysilens kit in Honkai Star Rail
Hysilens is a 5-star Physical character on the Path of Nihility. Thus, Hysilens' kit centers around dealing damage over time. She is a Flame-Chaser, for any future mechanics that involve everyone in this faction (cough, Cyrene, cough).
Basic ATK (Single Target) - Aeolian Mode: Echoes in Still Waters
Single-target basic ATK, deals Physical DMG.
Skill (AoE) - Overtone Hum: Chorus After Dark Tides
High chance to increase all enemies' DMG taken, then deal Physical DMG to them. Scales with Hysilens' ATK.
Ultimate (AoE) - Maelstrom Rhapsody
Deploys a Zone, reducing all enemies' ATK and DEF. Then, deal Physical DMG to all enemies, scaling with her ATK.
While the Zone is active, it deals Physical DoT each time enemies receive an instance of DoT. This can only be activated a number of times each turn, and the extra DMG instance triggers at the start of each turn or by an ally's attack.
If Hysilens is knocked down, the Zone gets dispelled.
Talent (Impair) - Sirenic Serenade
When an ally target attacks an enemy, Hysilens may inflict them with Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, or Shock. She also makes Bleed stronger; enemies will take Physical DoT based on their max HP, and further scales with her ATK.
