Light Cone
Why Does the Ocean SingWhy Does the Ocean Sing provides Effect Hit Rate, amplifies debuffed enemies' damage taken and accelerates attackers for more DoT triggers.
When to use it : Apply six Hysilens debuffs to each priority target to maximize its Enthrallment stacks, then attack affected targets for the attacker SPD effect.
Reforged RemembranceReforged Remembrance supplies Effect Hit Rate and converts Hysilens' four DoT types into ATK and DoT DEF ignore stacks.
When to use it : Apply Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn and Shock to build separate Prophet stacks; one stack per DoT type is allowed each battle.
Those Many SpringsThose Many Springs gives high Effect Hit Rate and increases damage received by targets Hysilens attacks, with a stronger state on her own DoT targets.
When to use it : Keep Hysilens' DoT on the target to upgrade Unarmored to Cornered; the debuff lasts two turns.
Patience Is All You NeedPatience Is All You Need adds stacking SPD and inflicts Erode, counted as Shock, for another DoT in a detonation team.
When to use it : Attack targets not already affected by Erode; the Erode DoT lasts one turn and the SPD stacks require repeated attacks.
Eyes of the PreyEyes of the Prey supplies Effect Hit Rate and DoT DMG, directly supporting Hysilens' four random DoTs and 120% breakpoint.
This four-star cone can recur on standard Warps and is less costly than a limited five-star signature.
Relics
Prisoner in Deep Confinement is the direct DoT set, converting the team's many simultaneous effects into DEF ignore.
When to use it : Maintain at least three DoTs through Hysilens, Kafka and Black Swan to maximize the set's DEF ignore.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters improves Hysilens' own damage against debuffed targets when the team cannot keep three DoTs for Prisoner.
When to use it : Use when DoT count is insufficient for Prisoner's full DEF ignore but debuffs remain reliably active.
Messenger plus Prisoner keeps SPD and DoT two-piece bonuses while stronger pieces are assembled.
When to use it : Use this 2+2 only when its substats preserve 120% Effect Hit Rate and the SPD target better than a four-piece alternative.
Planar Ornaments
Revelry by the Sea supplies ATK and converts a 3,600 in-combat ATK target into 24% additional DoT DMG.
When to use it : Reach 3,600 ATK in combat for Revelry's full 24% DoT bonus while preserving 120% Effect Hit Rate for Hysilens' Trace ceiling.
Pan-Cosmic Commercial Enterprise converts Effect Hit Rate into ATK for an easier EHR-focused DoT setup.
When to use it : Build Effect Hit Rate first; its ATK conversion caps at 120% Effect Hit Rate.
Glamoth adds general DMG for a fast Hysilens build.
When to use it : Reach 135 SPD in combat before taking Glamoth over the DoT-focused planar choices.
Team lineup
Kafka repeatedly detonates the DoTs supplied by Hysilens and Black Swan, while Huohuo sustains and restores Energy for all three Ultimates.
When to use it : Establish Hysilens' zone and Black Swan's Arcana before Kafka detonates; preserve Huohuo Ultimate for team Energy and the next zone cycle.

Trace priority
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
- Basic ATK
Hysilens applies Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn or Shock, then her Ultimate zone lowers enemy ATK/DEF and adds Physical DoT whenever existing DoTs trigger.
How to play it
- 1Use Skill to establish debuffs and the four possible DoT types before the team's detonation sequence.
- 2Cast Ultimate to open the zone, reduce enemy ATK/DEF and enable its Physical DoT rider.
- 3Use Kafka and Black Swan attacks to trigger DoTs; the zone rider can occur up to 8 times per enemy-turn or ally-attack event and cannot recursively trigger itself.
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. The model distinguishes Hysilens' random Wind Shear, Bleed, Burn and Shock from her Ultimate zone's Physical DoT. Each eligible enemy-turn or ally-attack event allows the zone rider up to eight times, never recursively. The Ultimate Trace's 150% existing-DoT detonation is separate. S1's 40% Effect Hit Rate is included in the 120% cap and no external EHR is assumed.
