Best 5-star Light Cones for Hysilens in Honkai Star Rail

The Why Does the Ocean Sing Light Cone in Honkai Star Rail is the best option for building Hysilens. Serving as her signature option, the LC is equipped with a powerful, unique effect for the character. For starters, she receives a 40% Effect Hit Rate, which will help her reach the required threshold.

The Light Cone further applies Enthrallment on enemies for every debuff Hysilens inflicts on them. The effect then compels the target to receive 5% additional DoT damage for up to six stacks. Ally’s SPD increases by 10% for attacking enemies that are tagged with Enthrallment.

You can also use Black Swan's Light Cone in HSR to build Hysilens, as it offers a potent passive effect comparable to her signature option. Reforged Remembrance will increase Hysilens' Effect Hit Rate by 40%. If she deals damage to an enemy inflicted with Wind Shear, Burn, Shock, or Bleed, each stack of debuff will grant her Prophet.

Hysilens will receive a 5% ATK bonus, and her DoT will ignore 7.2% of the target's DEF, based on the Prophet stacks she has accumulated through the LC. Needless to say, Reforged Remembrance will significantly increase her damage output.
