V5 Adjustments
E6 and E1 constellations swapped!
E1: When Hysilens is on the field, ally targets deal DoT equal to 116% of the original DMG. 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.
E6: While the Zone is active, at the start of each turn or in each attack by an ally target, increases the maximum trigger count for Hysilens's Physical DoT effect to 12 times, and increases the DMG multiplier of the DMG dealt by 20%.
However, E1's support capability decreased from 124% → 116%.
In summary: Hysilens's personal multipliers received buffs, while her support utility slightly weakened.
V3 Adjustments
▶ Ultimate Energy Cost reduced to 110. Resolves Energy issues in E-A-A rotations (Buff).
▶ Talent 1 now additionally recovers 1 Skill Point when deploying the Ultimate’s Zone (Buff).
▶ Talent 2 reworked:
- Old: "When allies attack, inflict a random Wind/Burn/Shock DoT (25% of Hysilens’ ATK) for 2 turns."
- New: "Detonate all DoTs on the Ultimate’s target, dealing Physical DMG equal to 150% of Hysilens’ ATK."
▶ Eidolon 2:
- Old: "During Ultimate’s Zone, all enemies’ RES decreases by 20%."
- New: "During Ultimate’s Zone, all allies’ DMG increases based on Hysilens’ Talent 3 effect (Scales with Hysilens’ Effect Hit Rate. Example: 120% EHR → 90% Team DMG Boost)."
Summary:
・Hysilens received significant buffs to both her multipliers and mechanics, effectively addressing the DoT team's urgent need for a dedicated DPS carry. While her support capability saw a slight reduction, the overall impact remains negligible.
・Energy rotation optimized.
・Significant buffs at E0; major power spike at E2. E0 is already a complete kit — pulling for her base version is highly recommended.
Overview
"Helektra? That name has long since sunk into the depths of the past... Ah, it's you, little gray fry. Call me Hysilens. I am the Knight Commander of the holy city, and I will remain on watch — I will not let the storms of fate cloud your eyes."
▌ Wave-Strumming Knight: Helektra
Styxia, a coastal city of intoxication and dreams, where echoes of old songs still drift among the waves.
Helektra, Daughter of the Sea, Chrysos Heir who cleanses the Ocean's Coreflame, dispels the murky undercurrents and orchestrates a feast of revelry for the heroes beyond the sky
— The show must go on. Even if hope is as fragile as bubbles, the waves will keep surging forward.
Rarety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Combat Path: Nihility | Combat Type: Physical
Hysilens is a Type-Physical and Path-Nihility character in the first banners of Version 3.5. We are not unfamiliar with Hysilens, in 3.1 Divergent Universe, Hysilens' Golden Blood Boon Chalice of Plenty is Physical DoT. So, we can expect that Hysilens might be a DoT DPS, like Kafka. And her signature weapon might be a violin.

STOCK PULLS FOR THIS MYSTERIOUS DOT GIRL
Hysilens' Kit leaked
Just as we all known, in Honkai: Star Rail, there are four types of DoT effects: Physical (Bleed), Fire (Burn), Lightning (Shock) and Wind (Wind Shear).
While Physical (Bleed) deals damage based on a percentage of the enemy's max HP, making it effective against high-health elites and bosses. For example, Physical Break inflicts Bleed with percentage-based damage, and 4-star Luka's Bleed also deals percentage-based damage (capped at a certain ratio of his ATK).
So given this pattern, we can confidently predict that Hysilens' DoT effect will also deal percentage-based damage.
Besides, leaks suggest that her abilities are single-targeted attacks and she can stack damage and trigger bursts, similar to Kafka and Black Swan. Additionally, she possesses the "Golden Blood Boom" (v3.1), which enhances her Physical DoT output. With her stacking mechanics, she serves as a versatile DPS or Sub-DPS for DoT and debuff teams, though the full details of her abilities remain undisclosed.
Does this mean the DoT team is going to rise ???
