Cyrene, the Chrysos Heir on the Path of Remembrance, is not just a support unit; she is a paradigm shift for team utility and damage amplification in Honkai: Star Rail. Her entire playstyle revolves around a singular, game-changing feature: the Memosprite. If you want to master this powerful new character, you need to understand the engine that makes her tick.

The Memosprite: A Game-Changing Engine

Cyrene’s ultimate is the key to her power, as it immediately summons her Memosprite onto the battlefield. This is no passive pet—it is a full-fledged support partner that begins its turn instantly.

When summoned, the Memosprite’s HP matches Cyrene’s Max HP, and it immediately cleanses the entire team of crowd control debuffs. While this spectral ally is present, both Cyrene and her Memosprite gain a boost to Max HP and CRIT Rate, and Cyrene’s Basic ATK becomes enhanced.

Memosprite Utility Skills

The Memosprite has two primary actions that define its utility:

• Waltz of Flowers and Arrows: A direct attack that deals Ice DMG to all enemies, scaling powerfully off the Memosprite’s Max HP (and thus, Cyrene’s HP).
• This Poem, A Benediction to Life: A potent buffing skill for a chosen ally. While any teammate gains a strong DMG increase for two turns, using this on a fellow Chrysos Heir unlocks extra, personalized effects.

The ‘Verse’ and ‘Blank’ Synergy

The Memosprite’s actions generate powerful, stackable buffs for the entire fight. Attacking an enemy grants the team “Verse,” boosting all allies’ CRIT DMG. Buffing an ally grants “Blank,” increasing the enemy’s damage taken. The real magic happens when you stack both: having both “Verse” and “Blank” active at the same time amplifies their already impressive effects by a massive 120%.

Crucially, Cyrene’s kit interacts with a “Recollection” mechanic that gates access to her Ultimate, directly determining her Memosprite’s uptime.

Optimal Build: Maximize HP and Speed

Since almost all of Cyrene and her Memosprite’s abilities scale off Max HP, your primary focus must be survivability and utility activation speed.

Light Cone & Relics

For Light Cones, nothing beats her signature “This Love, Forever.” It provides a huge boost to her Speed and grants a team-wide Crit DMG buff, perfectly synergizing with her Memosprite’s skills. Free-to-play options should focus on Remembrance cones that offer team support stats, such as “Memories of the Past.”

For Relics, your best-in-slot set is the World Remaking Deliverer’s Hood for its HP boost and strong team-wide buffs. A strong alternative is Messenger’s Holovisor for the boost to Speed and faster buff rotations. For Ornaments, prioritize HP-scaling sets.

Stat Priorities

Your stat priorities should be laser-focused:

• Primary Stats: HP% and Speed on main pieces (HP Orb, Speed Boots, HP Rope).
• Secondary Stats: Crit Rate and Crit Damage for extra damage scaling and support interactions.

Damage, Utility, and Team Amplification

While Cyrene’s Basic Attack and Memosprite skill provide reliable, HP-scaling Ice DMG, her true strength lies not in her personal DPS, but in her capacity to facilitate massive team damage spikes.

Her skill applies a special field to the battle, allowing all allies to apply extra True Damage equal to a portion of their original damage, dramatically boosting the team’s overall output. This True Damage is unaffected by enemy defenses, making her a phenomenal choice against high-toughness enemies.

Her Ultimate is the ultimate burst tool, not only summoning the Memosprite but also immediately synchronizing and activating all teammates’ Ultimates, unleashing an instant wave of damage and buffs. When combined with her ‘Verse’ and ‘Blank’ buffs, Cyrene creates a devastating window of opportunity for your main DPS units.

The Ultimate Heir Enabler

Cyrene is a universal support, providing team-wide CRIT, damage buffs, and cleanse utility to any party. However, she is an absolute necessity for teams built around the Chrysos Heirs.

The Memosprite’s skills grant custom, optimized buffs to each Heir, enhancing their core abilities in unique ways. Depending on the Heir, these tailored effects can include:

• Extra turns.
• Massive, full-battle ATK and CRIT boosts.
• DEF penetration and enhanced zone damage.
• Action advancement and high energy regeneration.

Cyrene is arguably one of the most influential support characters in Honkai: Star Rail. By dedicating her build to Max HP and Speed, you unleash her Memosprite—a multifunctional tool that provides damage, cleanse, universal crit boosts, and bespoke, game-winning buffs for the Heirs.
