Hyacine and their memosprite, Little Ica, form a fascinating duo, their abilities intricately woven together to provide healing, damage, and unique team support. Let’s break down their kit and explore the powerful synergy they bring to the battlefield.

Little Ica: More Than Just a Sprite

Little Ica isn’t just a cute companion; they are an integral part of Hyacine’s kit, with their own health pool (starting at 50% of Hyacine’s Max HP) and damage potential.

First Light Heals the World (Talent):

This talent highlights their symbiotic relationship. Every heal provided by either Hyacine or Little Ica empowers the sprite, boosting Little Ica’s damage by a significant 80% for 2 turns, stacking up to three times. This creates a compelling gameplay loop where healing directly translates into offensive pressure.

Unlocking Hidden Power: Ica’s Unique Abilities

Little Ica possesses unique talents and a skill that further solidify their supportive and offensive capabilities.

Take Sky in Hand (Memosprite Talent):

This talent positions Ica as a reactive healer. By consuming a small portion of their own HP (4%), Ica will restore HP to allies (excluding themselves) who have taken damage. The heal amount is a fixed value (2% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 20) and triggers at the start of an ally’s turn or after they take action. This provides consistent, passive healing.

Rainclouds, Time to Go! (Memosprite Skill):

This skill unleashes a Wind DMG attack on all enemies, scaling with the total healing done by Hyacine and Little Ica throughout the current battle (20% of the tally). Interestingly, after use, it clears a significant 50% of this accumulated healing tally. This skill offers a unique way to convert healing into AoE damage.

“After Rain” Synergy:

When Hyacine enters the “After Rain” state (from their Ultimate), Ica gains an immediate extra turn and automatically uses “Rainclouds, Time to Go!” This creates a powerful burst of AoE damage following Hyacine’s Ultimate. Furthermore, when Ica’s talent triggers a heal while Hyacine is in “After Rain,” all allies receive an additional heal (2% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 20).

Hyacine’s Supportive Skill and Ultimate

Hyacine’s own abilities further enhance their role as a healer and team buffer.

Love Over the Rainbow (Skill):

This skill summons Little Ica (if not already present) and provides a substantial heal to all allies (8% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 160), with an even larger heal for Little Ica (10% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 200). This is a straightforward and effective healing ability.

We Who Fly Into Twilight (Ultimate):

This powerful ability also summons Little Ica and delivers a larger heal to the team (10% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 200) and Little Ica (12% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 240). Crucially, it applies the “After Rain” state to Hyacine for 3 turns (decreasing by 1 turn at the start of each of Hyacine’s turns). While in this state, all allies receive a significant Max HP boost (30% + 600). This ultimate provides both immediate healing and a substantial, albeit temporary, increase in team survivability.

Hidden Potential: Traces and Eidolons

Hyacine’s Traces and Eidolons unlock even greater potential and introduce new mechanics:

Day So Right, Life So Fine! (Technique):

Provides a strong pre-battle buff, restoring HP and increasing Max HP for all allies at the start of the next fight.

Gloomy Grin (T1):

Grants a massive 100% CRIT Rate increase to both Hyacine and Little Ica. Additionally, when healing an ally below 50% HP, their Outgoing Healing is boosted by 25%. This significantly enhances their offensive and supportive capabilities in critical situations.

Tempestuous Halt (T3):

Rewards high SPD investment on Hyacine. If her SPD exceeds 200, both her and Little Ica’s Max HP increase by 20%. For every point of SPD above 200 (up to 200 excess), their Outgoing Healing increases by 1%. This encourages building Hyacine with a focus on speed.

Cradle the Candle of Night (E1):

Enhances the Max HP boost from another of Hyacine’s states (“Petrichoric Clear Skies”) and provides additional healing after allies attack while in that state. Interestingly, it also buffs the “After Rain” state, further increasing the Max HP boost and providing immediate healing after allies attack.

Come Sit in My Courtyard (E2):

Grants Hyacine a significant SPD boost (30%) for 2 turns whenever an ally’s HP decreases, increasing their action frequency.

Sunlit Amber, Yours to Keep (E4):

Amplifies the “Tempestuous Halt” Trace, further increasing Hyacine and Little Ica’s CRIT DMG for every point of SPD exceeding 200. This makes a high-SPD build even more rewarding offensively.

O Sky, Heed My Plea (E6):

Changes Little Ica’s Memosprite Skill to clear only 10% of the healing tally instead of 50%, allowing for more frequent use and sustained damage. More importantly, while Little Ica is on the field, all allies gain a substantial All-Type RES PEN increase (20%). This is a significant team-wide damage boost.

Synergy in Action

Hyacine and Little Ica’s kit is a masterclass in synergy. Healing fuels Ica’s damage, Hyacine’s ultimate sets up powerful follow-up attacks from Ica, and their Traces and Eidolons further amplify their combined potential. Building Hyacine with high SPD not only benefits her own action economy but also directly increases their Max HP and Outgoing Healing, with Eidolons even adding CRIT DMG to the mix.

Conclusion

Hyacine and Little Ica offer a unique and potent combination of healing, damage, and team support. Their intertwined abilities create a dynamic playstyle where strategic healing translates into offensive pressure and consistent team sustain. Understanding their synergy is key to unlocking their full potential and leveraging their unique strengths on the battlefield.
