Reasons why you should get Hyacine in Honkai Star Rail version 3.3

1) Best sustainer for the current meta-defining DPS units

Judging by Hyacine's kit in Honkai Star Rail, she is the perfect pair for the current meta-defining DPS characters. She can heal all of her allies simultaneously to make sure they survive the fight. As for the current meta-defining DPS unit, Castorice, Hyacine is probably the best sustainer for her, as the latter’s healing allows the former to summon her memosprite more frequently. This allows Castorice to deal significantly more damage every time she acts.

Besides that, Hyacine can also deal a decent bit of damage by utilizing her summon, Ica, helping the DPS unit out a little.

2) Can be used in team compositions featuring dissimilar playstyles

Besides HP-scaling teams, Hyacine can also be used in FUA team compositions in Honkai Star Rail. Since her heals are more than enough to keep the DPS units alive, you can easily tackle most end-game activities. Moreover, Hyacine can launch attacks on the adversaries by working together with Ica to deal a substantial amount of damage.

Those who do not possess Aventurine can pull for Hyacine, as she is a decent alternative.

3) Good character design

Besides the abovementioned reasons, you should get Hyacine in Honkai Star Rail version 3.3 as her character design/animations are one of a kind. While her model is exceptionally beautiful, her memosprite, Ica, steals the show due to how adorable it is. Just like Mem, players will be able to see Ica’s animations when she fights against various opponents, which is more than enough reason to get the character after she debuts.

4) Low chances of getting powercrept

As Hyacine is a new character in Honkai Star Rail, she will likely be relevant in the meta for a long time. Since there are not many sustainers in this title, this Remembrance unit will definitely be useful in various activities, especially the end-game ones.

Additionally, the developers, HoYoverse, tend to change the end-game activities’ modifiers when they reset, catering towards the newly released character. Hence, during the upcoming AS, Pure Fiction, and MoC resets, Hyacine will be exceptionally useful.

5) Hyacine can heal and deal damage simultaneously

Although most sustainers in Honkai Star Rail can deal damage and heal their allies simultaneously, they don't stand a chance against Hyacine. Her healing capabilities are off the charts, and the amount of damage she can deal depends on how much HP she has healed. Hence, if she healed an absurd amount of HP, Ica will deal that much damage.

If you are looking for a character that can heal and deal damage consistently, Hyacine is the one you should be getting in Honkai Star Rail.
