Hysilens has finally arrived in Honkai Star Rail, and she’s already shaking up the DoT meta.
This Physical Nihility powerhouse floods the field with status effects, detonates them for massive bursts, and cripples enemies inside her signature Zone. She’s a dream for DoT lovers, but here’s the catch: building her right isn’t as straightforward as it looks.
I’ve tested her kit, crunched the numbers, and broken down every choice so you can skip the trial and error. Let’s make your Hysilens melt bosses from day one.
Hysilens build overview
Best Light Cone for Hysilens
Why Does the Ocean Sing
Hysilens’ signature is her best-in-slot thanks to Effect Hit Rate, a DoT vulnerability debuff, and a teamwide SPD buff whenever allies attack.
It frees up relic substats by covering EHR needs and boosts team speed for faster DoT triggers. The combination of personal damage and team utility makes it irreplaceable for premium DoT setups.
Alt options
- Reforged Remembrance: Strong personal DPS option with EHR, stacking ATK, and DEF ignore.
- Those Many Springs: High EHR and enemy damage taken increase.
- It’s Showtime: F2P pick with debuff-based damage scaling and ATK from EHR.
Best Relic and Ornament sets
Relics
- Prisoner in Deep Confinement x4: Best. DEF shred and damage stacking against debuffed enemies make it perfect for DoT.
- Champion of Streetwise Boxing x4: Budget early game set for Physical DMG and ATK.
Ornaments
- Revelry by the Sea: Best for DoT damage when you reach 3600 ATK in combat.
- Firmament Frontline Glamoth: Runner-up with high-SDP scaling if you hit 135+ SPD.
- Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise: Stat stick to reach EHR thresholds.
- Space Sealing Station – Easy ATK boost while farming better sets.
Hysilens relic stats
Main stats
- Body: Effect Hit Rate (or ATK if you can hit 120% EHR with other sources)
- Feet: SPD (to 129 with signature or 135+ without) or ATK
- Sphere: Physical DMG or ATK
- Rope: ATK or ERR
Priority substats
- Effect Hit Rate to 120%
- SPD to rotation target
- ATK%
- Flat ATK
Best team comp for Hysilens
- Hysilens (DPS)
- Kafka (DoT detonator)
- Black Swan (DoT/DEF shred)
- Huohuo (sustain + energy)
This is the strongest comp because it combines constant DoT application, detonation, and full uptime on enemy debuffs. Kafka ensures every DoT ticks immediately, Black Swan stacks Arcana and DEF down, and Huohuo maintains SP flow while fueling Ultimates. The synergy produces unmatched sustained and burst DoT damage.
Alternative teams
- F2P: Hysilens, Serval, Asta, Lynx. Lower ceiling but still cycles DoTs well.
- Triple DoT: Hysilens, Kafka, Black Swan, Robin. Robin trades sustain for turn advance and ATK buffs.
