Honkai Star Rail Hysilens Kit: Leaked Traces and Eidolons
(Disclaimer: The following information is based on Version 3 of HSR 3.5 Beta leaks and is subject to change before Hysilens’ official release. We’ll update this section with any confirmed changes.)
Hysilens’ kit suggests she’ll be a powerful DoT enabler and damage dealer. Here’s a breakdown of her leaked abilities:
Trace and Eidolon Priority (Based on Leaks)
| Trace | Explanation | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate | Hysilens deals AoE Physical damage and deploys a zone that decreases enemy ATK and DEF. Enemies within the zone take additional Physical damage based on Hysilens’ ATK when hit by allies. This can trigger up to 8 times per turn/ally target’s single attack. | Highest |
| Skill | Deals AoE Physical damage to all enemies and has a 100% base chance to make them take additional damage. | High |
| Talent | Hysilens has a chance of applying Shear/Bleed/Burn/Shock on an enemy hit by an ally. Enemies under these states take DoT damage based on Hysilens’ ATK (or max HP for Physical DoT, capped by Hysilens’ ATK) at the start of their turn. | High |
| Ascension 2 | She deploys her Ultimate’s zone at the start of combat and regains 1 Skill Point when deploying a Zone. | High |
| Ascension 4 | When Hysilens’ Ultimate hits enemies with DoTs, it automatically triggers the DoT to deal 150% of their original damage. | High |
| Ascension 6 | Increases Hysilens’ Damage based on her Effect Hit Rate (up to 90% at 60% EHR). | High |
| Eidolon 2 | The damage boost from Ascension 6 applies to all allies when her Zone is deployed. | Best |
| Eidolon 1 | Increases the DoT damage dealt by allies when she is on the battlefield. | Great |
| Eidolon 4 | Reduces the enemy’s All Type Resistance when Zone is up. | Great |
| Eidolon 6 | Adds additional DoTs that coexist separately from Hysilens’ Talent. Increases the maximum trigger count for Hysilens’s Physical DoT effect when allies attack or at the start of each turn while the zone is active (to 12 times). | Great |
| Basic Attack | Deals single target physical damage. | Low |
Detailed Trace and Eidolon Descriptions
| Trace/Eidolon | Details |
|---|---|
| Ballad in Still Waters (Basic Attack | Single Target) | Deals Physical DMG equal to 50%/60%/70%/80%/90%/100%/110% of Hysilens’s ATK to one designated enemy. |
| Overtone Beyond Undercurrents (Skill | AoE) | Has a 100% base chance to increase DMG taken by all enemies by 10%/11%/12%/13%/14%/15%/16.25%/17.5%/18.75%/20%/21%/22%, lasting for 3 turns, while dealing Physical DMG equal to 70%/77%/84%/91%/98%/105%/113.75%/122.5%/131.25%/140%/147%/154% of Hysilens’s ATK to all enemies. |
| Dance of Raging-Tides and Devoured Souls (Ultimate | AoE) | Hysilens deploys a Zone that reduces enemy target’s ATK by 15% and DEF by 15%/16%/17%/18%/19%/20%/21.25%/22.5%/23.75%/25%/26%/27%, and deals Physical DMG equal to 120%/128%/136%/144%/152%/160%/170%/180%/190%/200%/208%/216% of Hysilens’s ATK to all enemies. Whenever an enemy target within the Zone takes DMG from DoT, Hysilens deals Physical DoT equal to 32%/37.28%/42.56%/47.84%/53.12%/58.4%/63.2%/68%/74%/80%/84%/88% of her ATK to them. The DoT cannot repeatedly trigger this effect, and this effect can be triggered up to 8 times per turn or per ally target’s single attack. The Zone lasts for 3 turns, decreasing by 1 turn at the start of each turn. The Zone will be dispelled if Hysilens is knocked down. |
| The Sea Siren Sings (Talent | Impair) | When an ally target attacks, there is a 100% base chance for Hysilens to inflict Wind Shear/Bleed/Burn/Shock on the hit enemy target, prioritizing to inflict different states. Under the Wind Shear/Burn/Shock state, at the start of each turn, the enemy target takes Wind/Fire/Lightning DoT equal to 10%/11.65%/13.3%/14.95%/16.6%/18.25%/19.75%/21.25%/23.25%/25%/26.25%/27.5% of Hysilens’s ATK for 2 turns. Under the Bleed state, at the start of each turn, the enemy target takes Physical DoT equal to 10%/11.65%/13.3%/14.95%/16.6%/18.25%/19.75%/21.25%/23.25%/25%/26.25%/27.5% of their Max HP, up to 25% of Hysilens’s ATK, lasting for 2 turns. |
| Oceanic Abode (Technique | Impair) | After using this Technique, it creates a Special Dimension that lasts for 20 seconds and automatically moves forward. Enemies within the Special Dimension enter the “Soulstruck” state. Enemies in the “Soulstruck” state will not attack ally targets and will follow the dimension while it persists. After entering battle with enemies in the “Soulstruck” state, there is a 100% base chance for each enemy to be inflicted with 2 of the following states that is the same as Hysilens’s Talent’s effects: Wind Shear/Bleed/Burn/Shock. Only 1 Dimension Effect created by allies can exist at a time. |
| Banner of Conquest (Ascension 2) | At the start of combat, Hysilens creates a Zone with the same effect as her Ultimate, lasting for 3 turns. Whenever Hysilens creates a Zone, she recovers 1 Skill Points. |
| Bubble of Grandeur (Ascension 4) | When Hysilens uses Ultimate, if the enemy target is currently afflicted with DoTs, all DoTs currently applied on the target will immediately deal DMG equal to 150% of their original DMG. |
| Strings of Pearl (Ascension 6) | If Hysilens’s Effect Hit Rate is above 60%, for every 10% exceeded, it increases this unit’s DMG by 15%, up to 90%. |
| Bonus Stats | SPD: 14.0, ATK: 18.0%, Effect Hit Rate: 10.0% |
| Why My Heart Grieves, You Inquire (Eidolon 1) | While Hysilens is on the field, the DoT dealt by ally targets becomes 124% of the original value. |
| Why the Waves Roar, You Entreat (Eidolon 2) | While the Zone is active, the DMG Boost effect from Trace “Strings of Pearl” (Ascension 6) applies to all allies. |
| Why the Lamplights Forget, You Postulate (Eidolon 3) | Ultimate level + 2, Basic Attack level + 1. |
| Behold, For What Does Time Flow (Eidolon 4) | While the Zone is active, it reduces All-Type RES of all enemies by 20%. |
| In Ablution, I Hum (Eidolon 5) | Skill level + 2, Talent level + 2. |
| When Will You Return, Sunken One (Eidolon 6) | When Hysilens inflicts Wind Shear/Bleed/Burn/Shock on enemies through her Talent, there is a 100% base chance to additionally inflict a Wind Shear/Bleed/Burn/Shock state that is identical to and coexists with the original Talent effect. While the Zone is active, at the start of each turn or in each attack by an ally target, the maximum trigger count for Hysilens’s Physical DoT effect increases to 12 times. |
