Best Teams (F2P included)

DOT Comps:

Hysilens	Kafka	Black Swan	Jiaoqiu

As a damage dealer with multiple DOT-application abilities, Hysilens pairs perfectly with Kafka in a multi-core setup—their mechanics complement each other like a match made in heaven. Kafka can trigger more DOT damage, while Hysilens gets to frequently activate her ultimate's damage checks. And so on—you could also go with Black Swan and Jiaoqiu!

Support:

Robin	Ruan Mei	Cipher	Tribbie

Sustain:

For those wanting to include a sustain unit, Huohuo is ideal as her ultimate provides energy. Following this logic, you can also opt for a and b!

Huohuo	Luocha	Aventurine	Hyacine

Deathsilens

Hysilens	Kafka	Black Swan	Ruan Mei

While a team composition without sustain is challenging to maneuver, it actually suits Hysilens best. Here's why: Kafka triggers damage-over-time effects, Black Swan applies them, and Ruan Mei boosts the team's damage through her skill and ultimate.

F2P Team

Hysilens	Sampo	Asta	Gallagher

Of course, When putting together a team for Free-to-Play players, Hysilens pairs well with Sampo. Asta, meanwhile, stands out as an excellent free-to-play Support thanks to her attack and speed bonuses.

Eidolons

Eidolons Priotity :E1>E2>E6>E4

Pulling Piority: E0S0 → E1S0 → E1S1 → E2S1 → E6S1

Introduction:

1 You Ask Me Why My Heart Cry: When Hysilens remains in play, the damage over time inflicted by targets is increased to 124% of its initial amount.

2 Tell Me Why Waves Roar High：When the Zone is in effect, the damage boost from the Trace "The Fiddle of Pearls" extends to every ally.

3 Why Do Lights Bid Goodbye：Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.

Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.

4 How Time Flew By：While the Zone is active, reduces All-Type RES of all enemies by 20%.

5 In Ablution, I Hum and Sigh：Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.

6 When to Return to Where You Lie: Whenever Hysilens uses her Talent to impose Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, or Shock on enemies, there's a 100% base probability of additionally applying a Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn, or Shock state that's identical to the original Talent effect and coexists with it. When the Zone is active, the maximum trigger count for Hysilens's Physical DoT effect rises to 12 times at the start of each turn or during each attack by a friendly target.

Pulling Advice

First of all, for DoT teams, we strongly recommend pulling Hysilens as an absolute must-have member. She brings four critical mechanics that DoT teams desperately need: energy point cycling, a ton of DoT applications, survivability boosts via enemy attack power reduction, and serving as the secondary DoT detonator. When perfectly paired with the powerhouse combo of Kafka+Hysilens which is more competive than Kafka+Black Swan , she truly showcases the unique dominance of a DoT team.

However, in non-DoT squads, investing in this character offers minimal payoff. For comparable functionality, Pela serves as a more than viable alternative to Hysilens.
