Using Hyacine’s best build in Hyacine’s kit in Honkai: Star Rail, you can comfortably be offensive with your other party since the Chrysos Heir can keep them safe.

With her Skill, Hyacine can summon Ica and restore some HP for her allies. With her Ultimate ability, Hyacine can do the same, but, moreover, enter the After Rain state for three turns, increasing the Max HP for all allies. Ica can also keep a tally of Hyacine’s healing and deal damage based on it. The memosprite can also ively heal allies that sustain damage by consuming its own HP. Healing through the Skill or Ultimate can also dispel debuffs. Once you’ve farmed Hyacine’s materials in Honkai: Star Rail, you should start working on her build to exploit her abilities.

Best Light Cones For Hyacine

There Are Few Options For The Character, Though Two Of Them Are F2P

Honkai Star Rail's Hyacine looks to the side.

The first thing to do is to find a suitable Light Cone for the character. Because she is a Remembrance unit, your options are very limited, given how recent the Path’s introduction was. The best Light Cone for Hyacine is Long May Rainbows Adorn The Sky, her signature 5-star weapon. The Light Cone boosts the ’s SPD by 18%. When they use Basic Attack, Skill, or Ultimate, it consumes all allies’ HP equal to 1% of their current HP.

The table below lists the best builds for Hyacine in Honkai: Star Rail, including the strongest Light Cones, ideal stats, and much more:

Best Build For Hyacine In Honkai: Star Rail

Light Cone

  1. Long May Rainbows Adorn The Sky (Best 5-star)
  2. Memory's Curtain Never Falls (5-star substitute)
  3. Victor In A Blink (Best 4-star)

Relic & Ornament Set

Relics:

  • Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder (4 pieces)

Ornaments:

  • Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding (2 pieces)

Stat Priority

  1. SPD
  2. HP
  3. Outgoing Healing
  4. CRIT DMG
  5. Energy Regeneration Rate

Skill Priority

  1. Ultimate
  2. Memosprite Skills
  3. Skill
  4. Talent
  5. Basic Attack

Long May Rainbows Adorn The Sky also deals one instance of Additional DMG of the ’s memosprite element equal to 250% of the total consumed HP to the attacked target after the next attack launched by the ’s memosprite. The total HP consumed is then reset. When the ’s memosprite uses Memosprite Skill, it increases the DMG taken by all enemies by 18% for two turns. This Light Cone plays right into Hyacine’s regular rotation, making her more useful as a and a healer – Hyacine has a ive that increases healing based on her excess SPD over 200.

The Additional DMG effect is tailored to work even though Hyacine’s Skill and Ultimate don’t directly target enemies in Honkai: Star Rail, since the DMG is applied after the next attack used by the memosprite.

If you are unable to obtain Long May Rainbows Adorn The Sky, a F2P (free-to-play) 5-star Light Cone option for Hyacine is Memory’s Curtain Never Falls. Obtainable via Herta’s Store, this Light Cone boosts the ’s SPD by 8% and after they use their Skill, it increases the DMG dealt by all allies by 8% for three turns. Memory’s Curtain Never Falls is less specific to Hyacine’s kit, but the SPD increase and the team’s DMG buff make it a worthwhile Light Cone to employ.

Because this is a F2P Light Cone in Honkai: Star Rail, it is also fairly easy to S5. At S5, the SPD increase equals 12%, while the team’s DMG buff reaches 16%.

Although I highly recommend going after Memory’s Curtain Never Falls for Hyacine if you don’t have her signature 5-star Light Cone, you could also temporarily equip her with the 4-star Light Cone Victory In A Blink. Obtainable via story missions and the Forgotten Hall Store, Victory In A Blink boosts the ’s CRIT DMG by 12% and when their memosprite uses an ability on ally targets, all ally targets’ DMG dealt is increased by 8% for three turns. At S5, the ’s CRIT DMG increases by 24%, and the team’s DMG buff is 16% in Honkai: Star Rail.

With Gentle Rain, the ’s SPD is increased by 6%, and all allies’ CRIT DMG is boosted by 15% in Honkai: Star Rail.

A portion of the buffs planned for Jingliu in Honkai: Star Rail 3.4 has been leaked, hinting at her enhanced role as a DPS with tanky properties.

Additionally, the best Planar Ornament set for Hyacine is Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding. The set increases the ’s SPD by 6%, and when their SPD is 135/180 or higher, it boosts the and their memosprite’s Outgoing Healing by 12%/20%. Because you’re aiming at over 200 SPD with Hyacine to activate her ive Trace’s effect, she should always get 20% Outgoing Healing.

The stats to look out for when farming Relics and Ornaments are SPD, HP, Outgoing Healing, CRIT DMG, and Energy Regeneration Rate. The SPD increase will result in extra healing, while HP will determine how much base healing she can provide. Outgoing Healing will then boost her base healing’s potential. CRIT DMG may seem like an oddball for a healer, but Hyacine and her memosprite have 100% base CRIT Rate, so more CRIT DMG means more damage output contribution. Lastly, ERR can help Hyacine’s Ultimate in Honkai: Star Rail to be available more frequently.

Best Team Comps For Hyacine

Hyacine Is A Versatile Healer For Any Team Comp

Hyacine is a very versatile healer and can be inserted into nearly any type of team comp as their sustain unit. However, Hyacine is at her best when inserted into a team comp focused on high Max HP scores. With Castorice in Honkai: Star Rail, Hyacine can provide reliable healing for the constant HP drain, for example, while also granting extra Max HP to Tribbie because she gains a bonus based on the sum of the team’s Max HP. Hyacine could also work with Mydei and Blade, for example, HP-scaling DPS units.

The table below lists a few team comp suggestions for Hyacine:

Best Team Comps For Hyacine In Honkai: Star Rail

Hypercarry HP Team

  • Hyacine (Remembrance - Wind)
  • Castorice (Remembrance - Quantum) or Mydei (Imaginary)
  • Tribbie (Harmony - Quantum)
  • Trailblazer (Remembrance - Ice)

Generalist Hypercarry Team

  • Hyacine (Remembrance - Wind)
  • Trailblazer (Remembrance - Ice)
  • Aglaea (Remembrance - Lightning) or The Herta (Erudition - Ice) - or any DPS
  • Sunday (Harmony - Imaginary) - or any Harmony

Budget-Friendly (F2P) Team Comp

  • Hyacine (Remembrance - Wind)
  • Any DPS
  • Trailblazer (Remembrance - Ice)
  • Pela (Nihility - Ice) or Tingyun (Harmony - Lightning)

Aside from HP-scaling teams, Hyacine can be inserted into traditional hypercarry teams and nearly any F2P team comp. While she is at her best with HP-scaling units, she is not limited to them in any way, so she can work with traditional CRIT DPS. Hyacine can even work with Break DMG DPS characters like Firefly or Xueyi, provided that the team uses the Harmony Trailblazer in Honkai: Star Rail and, preferably, Ruan Mei.

Skill (Trace) Priority For Hyacine

Unlock All Of Her ive Traces

When increasing Hyacine’s abilities, first focus on boosting her memosprite’s skills, followed by her own Ultimate and Skill. After that, don’t forget to boost her Talent. The last priority should be her Basic Attack, which she should not be using too frequently. Another important point to is to unlock all of her ive Traces, as they play a vital role in her performance as a healer.

Honkai Star Rail 3.4 Leaks: Phainon's Technique Is More Broken Than Acheron's

New details about Phainon’s Technique in Honkai: Star Rail 3.4 have leaked, and he may sur Acheron when it comes to how broken his ability is.

In general, Hyacine’s best build is a fairly easy one to achieve, especially considering how many F2P options there are and how versatile she is as a healer. The only difficulty you may encounter when doing so is finding a proper balance between her stats, as she needs a very large SPD score, followed by a huge Max HP score. This should also be obtained while boosting her Outgoing Healing and CRIT DMG, so the build can get a bit wonky at first, but by optimizing it can make Hyacine your best healer in Honkai: Star Rail.
