Hysilens is a Physical Nihility DoT damage dealer. Every ally attack lets her inflict Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn or Shock, her Skill makes all enemies take more DMG, and her Zone lowers enemy ATK and DEF while turning each DoT tick into an extra Physical DoT hit. Her Ultimate also detonates every DoT at 150% efficiency, making her the strongest DoT unit alongside Kafka.

Patience Is All You Need
5★
Kafka's signature: adds another DoT for her Zone, but no Effect Hit Rate, which makes 120% harder to reach.

Good Night and Sleep Well
4★
4★ (S5): more DMG than Eyes of the Prey but no Effect Hit Rate, so only if you already reach 120%. The free It's Showtime (S5) is a weaker fallback with the same drawback.

Triple DoT

Her most played team. Kafka triggers DoTs constantly and buffs her ATK, her four DoT types stack Black Swan's Arcana, and Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae adds ATK and Skill Points.

Triple DoT with Huohuo

Same core with Huohuo, who adds a team ATK buff and Energy with her Ultimate.

Free-to-play DoT

Budget team: Serval's Shock and frequent hits feed her Zone, Asta speeds everyone up and Lynx keeps the team alive.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Talent. Whenever an ally attacks, Hysilens has a 100% base chance to inflict Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn or Shock on each enemy hit (prioritising a state the target doesn't have yet), each lasting 2 turns.
  • Skill. Hits all enemies and makes them take 20% more DMG for 3 turns.
  • Zone (Ultimate, 110 Energy). Lowers all enemies' ATK by 15% and DEF by 25% for 3 turns. Each time an enemy inside the Zone takes DoT, Hysilens deals an extra Physical DoT hit equal to 80% of her ATK — up to 8 times at the start of each turn or after each ally attack.
  • Traces. A2 deploys the Zone for free at the start of combat and recovers 1 Skill Point every time she deploys it. A4 makes her Ultimate detonate all DoTs on the target at 150% of their original DMG. A6 turns every 10% Effect Hit Rate above 60% into +15% DMG, up to +90% at 120%.

Rotation

  1. Start with her Technique: every enemy begins the fight with 2 DoT states, and the A2 Zone is already up.
  2. Use her Skill to apply the Vulnerability debuff; your teammates' attacks spread her DoTs.
  3. Use her Ultimate right before the Zone expires to redeploy it and detonate all DoTs at 150%.

Tips

  • 120% Effect Hit Rate is her most important stat: it maxes her A6 and makes her debuffs land.
  • She needs frequent hitters to trigger her Zone; Kafka is by far her best partner, followed by Black Swan.
  • After a boss changes phase, you'll need to rebuild her DoTs.

Strengths

  • Excellent DoT damage, applying all four elemental DoT types
  • Consistent Vulnerability, DEF reduction and a big ATK reduction on all enemies
  • Stacks DoTs passively through her allies' attacks
  • Detonates DoTs at 150% efficiency with her Ultimate
  • Skill Point-efficient thanks to her Zone

Weaknesses

  • Practically requires Kafka
  • Needs ramp-up time, and DoTs must be reapplied after boss phase changes
  • Needs a huge amount of Effect Hit Rate

Notable dupes · Eidolon

E1
Big upgrade

Exceptionally strong: all allies' DoT deals 116% of its DMG, and each Talent application adds a second DoT state, so she maxes her Zone's 8 triggers on her own.

E2
Solid upgrade

While the Zone is active, her A6 DMG bonus (up to 90%) applies to all allies.

E6
Solid upgrade

Her Zone can trigger up to 12 times per turn or attack, with a 20% higher multiplier.
