Tribbie vs Hyacine: Who Should You Pull For in HSR 3.7?

Hi, Traiblazers! Version 3.7 of Honkai: Star Rail drops a huge choice in the first-phase banner: Tribbie, the flex Quantum Harmony support, and Hyacine, the top-tier Wind Remembrance sustain! Both will take your teams to the next level but they’re totally different—so let’s break down their kits, where they shine, and which one deserves your Stellar Jades.

Hyacine

Core Roles & Kits

First up, let’s get clear on what each character brings to the table. Their unique movesets are what make them stand out!

Tribbie: The Universal Buff Machine

Tribbie is a Quantum Harmony character built for every team—seriously, she’s like the Swiss Army knife of supports.

Tribbie slaps on ultimate resistance penetration with her skill and hits two enemies with vulnerability through her ultimate zone, and these buffs work for attack-scaling, HP-scaling, DoT teams—basically any lineup you can think of; she also dishes out frequent follow-up attacks on two foes, turning her from a pure support into a solid sub-DPS, while her E1 is a total game-changer that lets allies’ zone damage trigger true damage based on total team damage dealt—think: if your team hits enemies for 50k each, the beefiest foe takes an extra 60k, which is total chaos for single-target damage even with AoE teams.

And on top of all that, she’s super skill point efficient, especially with the Light Cone, boosting your team’s action advance without draining skill points to keep rotations smooth and snappy.

 

Hyacine: The Healer Who Fights Back

Hyacine is a Wind Remembrance sustain that’s not just here to heal—she’s here to deal damage too, making her one of the most versatile healers in HSR.

Hyacine pumps out consistent AoE heals and cleanses debuffs for the whole team, and her ultimate fires up the After Rain state that boosts all allies’ max HP—perfect for HP-scaling DPS like Castorice. Her little buddy Little Ica, her Memosprite, deals Wind damage scaled by Hyacine’s healing, meaning she’s not just keeping your team alive but adding sub-DPS to boot, and her talent even slaps random DOTs like burn or shock on enemies when your allies attack. Her signature Light Cone is Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky, giving her 18% speed, letting Little Ica apply 18% vulnerability to foes, and adding teamwide HP drain to make her even better for HP-manipulation teams. Plus, she’s Cyrene’s bestie, generating Recollection Points for 3.7’s new character Cyrene super fast thanks to Little Ica’s frequent actions, which is key for spamming Cyrene’s ultimate and getting those sweet buffs rolling.

Endgame Value	Defines team potential; never goes out of meta	Top-tier for all hard content

When to Pull Tribbie

Tribbie is your go-to pick if any of these scenarios apply—she’s a future-proof choice that’ll serve you well for ages. If you’re missing a universal support, like not having Sparkle or Sunday, Tribbie fills that gap instantly. She pairs with Castorice, Phainon, Mydei, and even older units like Acheron. New Trailblazers, this is your cue—her buffs make early-game content a breeze. If you want to boost multiple teams, Tribbie isn’t tied to a single element or Path. Use her in a Castorice Remembrance team one fight, then swap her to a Phainon Physical team the next—she’s incredibly adaptable, perfect for Memory of Chaos or Forgotten Hall. And if you’re chasing Eidolon 1, even 0-constellation Tribbie is great, but E1 takes her from good to godly. That true damage bonus turns solid teams into meta-dominating powerhouses.

 

When to Pull Hyacine

Hyacine is top-pick if your team needs sustain or you’re building meta comps: she’s non-negotiable with HP-scaling DPS like Castorice or Mydei, as her After Rain max HP boost ramps their damage while her healing offsets HP-draining mechanics, making her the backbone of optimized Castorice teams. If you’re still using 4-star healers like Natasha for endgame, Hyacine is a massive upgrade—she keeps your team alive, adds damage, and is perfect for DoT teams like Kafka + Black Swan. Plus, if you’re pulling Cyrene, Hyacine generates Recollection Points faster than most supports to maximize Cyrene’s ultimate potential, making her the perfect sidekick.

 

Conclusion

Trailblazers, here’s the gist: F2P/budget players should snag Tribbie first—she’s universal, meta-proof, and flexes across all teams. If you main Castorice or Cyrene, Hyacine is a must—she amps DPS damage and fuels Cyrene’s ultimate. Whales? Grab both for an unbeatable lineup. Now, lock in your pull and dominate 3.7!
