Evelyn
Astra Yao's manager and bodyguard
Evelyn Chevalier is an S-Rank Fire Attack Agent from the Stars of Lyra, built around one of the strongest Chain Attacks in the game. She builds Burning Embers on-field, turns them into Burning Tether Points, and spends 3 of those to use her Chain Attack whenever she wants, then unloads everything during Stun. She peaks with Astra Yao and Dialyn, Norma or Lighter, and is rated T1 on Prydwen and Tier 1+ on Game8.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- CRIT Rate 80–100% in combat, i.e. at least 55% on the stat screen (Binding Seal adds 25%)
- CRIT DMG 160–200%+
- ATK 2,600–3,400+
- HP 10,000+, DEF 800+
Talent priority
Prydwen prefers ATK% on Disc 4 because her Core Passive covers a big part of the CRIT Rate; take CRIT Rate there instead if you can't reach 55% on the stat screen.
Recommended teams
Dialyn & Astra Yao
Her most used team in the current Deadly Assault. Dialyn raises the Stun DMG Multiplier, extends Stun and converts Chain Attacks into Ultimates, while Astra gives her extra Chain Attacks. Bangboo: Snap, whose Film charges give a Superstar DMG buff on Quick Assists and also heal with two Stars of Lyra Agents.
Norma & Astra Yao
Game8's recommended team and her most used one in Shiyu Defense: Norma provides even more Chain Attacks, which makes Decibels and combos easier. Bangboo: Snap.
How to play
Burning Embers and Burning Tether Points
- Burning Embers (16 max) come from her Basic Attack (1/1/1/2/3 per hit), Special Attacks, Dash Attack, Dodge Counter and Quick Assist, 4 when her Special dodges an attack, and 8 from her EX Special Attack.
- Hold Basic or Special to use Garrote - First Form, then Second Form: each costs 8 Embers and gives 1 Burning Tether Point (3 max). Her Ultimate gives 1 too.
- With 3 Tether Points, the next Garrote input becomes her Chain Attack: Lunalux - Snare instead, even outside Stun.
Binding Seal
- Special Attack: Locked Position ties her wire to the target (Binding Seal): +25% CRIT Rate, kept for 10s after the Seal ends. Swapping out while sealed makes her use Binding Sunder - First Form automatically.
- Once the Seal is on, her Special becomes Binding Sunder - First Form: it tethers nearby enemies, then detonates, which ends the Seal. Press Basic Attack after the tether to cancel the detonation and go straight into the 3rd hit of her Basic Attack, skipping the two weak Physical hits and keeping the Seal.
Additional Ability and Ultimate
- With a Stun or Support teammate, her Chain Attack and Ultimate deal +30% DMG, and at 80% CRIT Rate or more their multipliers rise to 125%. Reaching 80% in combat is mandatory.
- Her first Ultimate puts her in Dance of Awakened Fire for the rest of the fight: each Tether-fueled Chain Attack keeps 1 point.
Stun combo
Enter Stun with 16 Embers and 3 Tether Points. Tether Chain Attack (3 → 0) → Stun → Chain Attack → Garrote (+1) → Ultimate (+1) → Garrote (+1) → Tether Chain Attack. With Astra Yao, Astra's Ultimate turns the next two Quick Assists into extra Evelyn Chain Attacks; Dialyn and Lighter extend the Stun so more of them fit.
Strengths
- Huge burst, with one of the best Chain Attacks and Ultimates in the game.
- Easy to learn, with a high ceiling for players who master her advanced combos.
- Her EX Special groups enemies, which is rare for a damage dealer.
- Outstanding synergy with Astra Yao, who gives her extra Chain Attacks.
Weaknesses
- Needs 80% CRIT Rate in combat for her Additional Ability.
- Weak W-Engine options besides her signature.
- Her best teammates are limited S-Ranks; free teams perform noticeably worse.
- Rarely used in the current Shiyu Defense; she's mostly a Deadly Assault pick now.
