It’s still quite early intoHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.2’s limited character banner runs, but some fans have already set their sights on Version 3.3’s units. This is because Cipher’s (Nihility - Quantum) andHyacine’s (Remembrance - Wind) kits have already been leakedby reliable sources like Luna and HomDGCat. Hyacine, in particular, is an interesting character because she fills a certain niche that other Remembrance units haven’t covered yet. Her leaked abilities also set her up to be a premium teammate for one of the most overpowered DPS characters in the current meta.
Hyacine is a Chrysos Heir who guards the Sky Coreflame. Her memosprite, the Pegasus Ica, assists her in her duties as a healer. According to the first version of her kit leaks, her abilities provide the following benefits to a team:
The information about Hyacine’s skills is based on reliable but leaked information. Therefore, players should expect significant changes to her kit’s multipliers, conditions, and other mechanics once she officially makes her debut inHonkai: Star RailVersion 3.3.
Hyacine Could be the Best in Slot Sustain for Max HP-scaling Teams in Honkai: Star Rail
Some of the playableChrysos Heir charactersinHonkai: Star RailVersion 3 hit harder the bigger their HP pools are. Others also consume their own and/or their allies’ health to deal damage. Hyacine’s kit seems to be tailored to provide the perfect buffs and healing for these units.
Hyacine Could Take Castorice’s Damage to New Heights
Perhaps the most important ability inCastorice’s kitis her Memosprite Netherwing’s “Breath Scorches the Shadow” skill, which unleashes Quantum Damage equal to 24% of Castorice’s Max HP (at Trace Level 10) to all enemies. Each instance consumes Netherwing’s HP. Players can use this skill during Netherwing’s turn as much as they want, as long as the Memosprite is alive. When it dies, it activates its talent to deal six instances of Quantum Damage equal to 40% of Castorice’s Max HP.
ThisMemosprite skill and talentcombo already does over two million damage when set up correctly. Hyacine’s Max HP-increasing ultimate can boost these damage numbers further. This sustain’s consistent healing also offers the following benefits for Castorice teams:
Hyacine Also Makes Mydei and Tribbie Even More Top Tier
Mydei and Tribbie’s damage scale with Max HP, similar to Castorice. As such, Hyacine’s ultimate provides the perfect buff for these characters. Her and Ica’s healing also ensures that Mydei stays at a comfortable health value every time, so he doesn’t have to use his Vendetta state revive unless he absolutely needs to.
Hyacine’s value may decrease when paired with units who don’t rely on Max HP for their important mechanics. More traditionaldamage characters like Acheron and Feixiao, are best paired with sustains that provide more straightforward DMG and CRIT Buffs and enemy debuffs, like Aventurine, Fu Xuan, and Gallagher. For now, Hyacine is looking to be the best in slot sustain for a premium Amphoreus squad with Castorice/Mydei, Tribbie, Remembrance Trailblazer, and future Chrysos Heir units.
