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.
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 ???

Conclusion
Hysilens is shaping up to be one of Honkai: Star Rail’s most captivating characters. As the Nihility character of Amphoreus, her lore intertwines with the tragic legacy of the Chrysos Heir. With her planned release in Version 3.5, players will have ample time to prepare for her arrival.
So, loyal pioneers of the DoT team, now is the perfect moment to top up HSR at LDShop and secure Hysilens when she debuts!
