Recommended build
Light Cone
This Love, ForeverThis Love, Forever gives 18% SPD toward the Trace threshold, then Demiurge builds enemy vulnerability and allied CRIT DMG through its two target types.
When to use it : Have Demiurge use one Memosprite Skill on an ally and one on an enemy to hold both Blank and Verse at their amplified values.
Relics
World-Remaking Deliverer gives CRIT Rate and turns Demiurge's presence into Max HP for both units plus another teamwide DMG multiplier.
When to use it : Use Enhanced Basic while Demiurge is present to keep the 24% Max HP and 15% team DMG state active; this selection assumes the 180, not 200, SPD build.
Planar Ornaments
Sprightly Vonwacq front-loads Cyrene's first action and adds Energy Regeneration Rate, though Recollection—not normal Energy—remains the Ultimate gate.
When to use it : Reach 120 SPD before combat so Vonwacq advances Cyrene by 40% and helps preserve the opening Zone while Recollection ramps.
Team lineup
Evernight and Castorice create dense memosprite actions and HP fluctuations for Recollection and True DMG, while Hyacine sustains the group and adds another Remembrance action source.
When to use it : Use Demiurge's Evernight Ode first, maintain Hyacine's Petrichor during HP drains and sequence Castorice's Netherwing after the permanent Zone is active.

Trace priority
- Skill
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Basic ATK
Cyrene deploys a Zone that repeats 24% of every allied damage instance as True DMG, gains Recollection from allied actions and, at 24 Recollection, permanently transforms the Zone and summons Demiurge.
Common build decisions
These answers explain the guide's stated mechanics and assumptions. Equipment comparisons are not measured damage tests.
Practical answers added :
What if I do not have Cyrene's signature Light Cone?
Victory In a Blink is the accessible pick when you can use Demiurge's ally-targeted ability: it grants team target DMG, but does not provide the signature cone's SPD or its enemy-targeted vulnerability. Recheck the 180 in-combat SPD goal after switching cones; this is a mechanics comparison, not a measured damage ranking.
Compare Light Cones and their conditionsShould I chase Energy Regeneration Rate to reach the first Ultimate sooner?
No. The first Ultimate requires 24 Recollection from allied and memosprite actions, not ordinary Energy. Keep the opening Zone active, use Skill for three Recollection, and favor more distinct allied actions. Vonwacq's early action helps the opening but its Energy Regeneration Rate does not replace that requirement.
Read the Recollection rotationHow to play it
- 1Open with Technique to deploy the two-turn Zone for free; otherwise use Skill immediately, then keep the Zone active until the first Ultimate.
- 2Maximize distinct allied and memosprite actions to reach 24 Recollection; use Skill for three points and do not expect the enhanced Basic to recover Skill Points.
- 3Cast the first Ultimate as soon as 24 Recollection is available to activate every teammate Ultimate, make the 24% True DMG Zone permanent and begin assigning Demiurge's permanent Odes.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen and Icy Veins were read independently, then checked against released local 4.4 data. Before transformation, Skill grants 3 Recollection and a two-turn Zone that adds one True DMG instance equal to 24% of each original allied damage instance. The first Ultimate requires 24 Recollection, is usable once, grants Cyrene and Demiurge 50% CRIT Rate and makes the Zone permanent; later Demiurge turns use the 12-Recollection Ultimate. The model counts Future separately for every allied character and memosprite action and uses 180 in-combat SPD for the 20% team DMG Trace, but does not credit SPD beyond 240 or CRIT beyond 100%. The public delta starts at 4.0, so no 3.7-to-4.0 changes are fabricated; the exact 4.4 snapshot and official notes establish current values and resources.

Independent E0 recommendations. The 180 SPD target is in combat and includes the equipped cone but excludes teammate SPD; 50% sheet CRIT Rate stops exactly at 100% after the first Ultimate's own 50%.
