Best Light Cones for Hysilens in Honkai Star Rail

Eyes of the Prey (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || HoYoverse)

• Why Does the Ocean Sing
• Those Many Springs
• Eyes of the Prey (Superimposition Level 5)

Why Does the Ocean Sing is Hysilens’ signature weapon in HSR. As most Trailblazers know, the signature LC of a certain character is tailor-made for them, and this Nihility unit is not an exception. If you want to unleash her full fighting prowess, then we recommend getting this LC.

For an alternative, Jiaoqiu’s signature weapon is an excellent choice. The item performs exceptionally well in team compositions featuring three DoT characters, as it will be able to buff Black Swan.

As for a 4-star alternative, Eyes of the Prey (S5) is the best option. It is by far the best 4-star Light Cone for Hysilens as the item can boost the unit’s EHR and DoT damage simultaneously. Moreover, the extra EHR helps players to reach 120% Effect Hit Rate.

Best Relics for Hysilens in Honkai Star Rail

Relics

Prisoner in Deep Confinement Relic set (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || HoYoverse)

• Prisoner in Deep Confinement

Since Hysilens is a DoT character, there is only one Relic set available in HSR that she can use, which is Prisoner in Deep Confinement. It can easily boost her ATK and ignore a certain amount of DEF, depending on how many DoT debuffs the adversaries are affected by.

Planar Ornaments

Revelry by the Sea set (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || HoYoverse)

• Revelry by the Sea
• Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise

Currently, the best Planar Ornament set for DoT characters is Revelry by the Sea. It can boost her ATK and DoT damage simultaneously. However, the damage boost can only be activated when she hits a certain amount of ATK.

As an alternative, we recommend the Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise Ornament set if you are using a Light Cone that doesn’t grant extra Effect Hit Rate. Additionally, the set can increase Hysilens’ ATK up to 25% of her max EHR.
