For Version 4.6, build Hyacine as a fast healing sustain who also turns healing into damage through Little Ica. The current guide consensus places Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky first for her Light Cone, Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder as her four-piece Cavern set, and Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding as her two-piece Planar Ornament set. Aim for roughly 200 SPD, then stack HP%; CRIT DMG and Effect RES are useful follow-up substats. These rankings come from secondary build guides rather than an official HoYoverse prescription, so adjust them when a new patch changes her teams or equipment.
What role does Hyacine fill in Honkai: Star Rail?
Hyacine is a five-star Wind character on the Remembrance path. Her Skill and Ultimate summon Little Ica, a memosprite that supports the party while contributing damage. Her Ultimate also places Hyacine in After Rain, a state that increases allies’ Max HP. Little Ica converts healing into damage and can heal allies when their HP drops, letting Hyacine cover sustain while adding meaningful secondary damage.
That combination makes her most valuable beside damage dealers who benefit from extra Max HP, repeated healing, or deliberate HP loss. Prydwen’s Hyacine profile specifically highlights Castorice, March 7th • Evernight, Mortenax Blade, and Blade as strong partners. The exact best four-character lineup still depends on your roster and the patch you are playing.
What is the best Hyacine Light Cone?
The Version 4.6 ranking places Hyacine’s signature Light Cone, Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky, first. If you are building her without that premium option, Memory’s Curtain Never Falls is the strongest free-to-play alternative named by the Version 4.5 guide and is ranked second by the Version 4.6 list. The Story’s Next Page is another listed option.
| Priority | Light Cone | Who should choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky | Players with access to Hyacine’s signature option; the current Version 4.6 guide ranks it highest. |
| 2 | Memory’s Curtain Never Falls | Free-to-play or low-spending accounts looking for the strongest cited alternative. |
| 3 | The Story’s Next Page | An additional option listed by the Version 4.6 build guide when the first two are unavailable. |
The order is a guide recommendation, not a developer-issued tier list. The Version 4.6 page says its rankings are based on Prydwen’s measured-in-play rankings, rephrased for its own guide; it uses game data for base statistics and passive text. Treat the ranking as a practical starting point, then keep the Light Cone that gives your account the best usable combination of survivability, speed, and team uptime.
Which relics should Hyacine use?
Four-piece Cavern set: Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder
Use four pieces of Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder. The Version 4.6 guide recommends it because the set helps Hyacine reach the desired Speed target and buffs allies’ CRIT DMG when the wearer or her memosprite heals an ally. That trigger matches Hyacine’s normal job: keeping the team healthy through Hyacine and Little Ica’s healing while enabling damage for the rest of the squad.
Because the effect depends on healing an ally, the set is most valuable when Hyacine is actively sustaining the party rather than being built as a purely personal damage dealer. Keep the four-piece bonus intact unless your available pieces are so poor that a temporary mixed setup materially improves her Speed and HP.
Two-piece Planar set: Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding
Pair the Cavern set with two pieces of Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding. The surfaced Version 4.6 recommendation gives Hyacine Speed and outgoing-healing support, reinforcing the two stats that determine whether she can act often enough and keep the party stable.
What main stats and substats does Hyacine need?
Both the Version 4.5 and Version 4.6 guides point to the following main-stat layout:
| Slot | Recommended main stat | Reason in the current guides |
|---|---|---|
| Body | Outgoing Healing or HP% | Choose between stronger healing support and a larger HP-focused build, depending on the pieces available and the team’s needs. |
| Feet | SPD | Speed is the first major target and helps Hyacine cycle actions and maintain support. |
| Planar Sphere | HP% | Supports Hyacine’s HP-oriented utility and survivability. |
| Link Rope | Energy Regeneration Rate | Helps her reach the Ultimate more reliably, which is important for After Rain. |
For substats, push SPD toward approximately 200 first. After that, prioritize HP%, then CRIT DMG and Effect RES, following the Version 4.6 recommendation. The 200 figure is a build target from the guides, not a hard in-game requirement or an official breakpoint. If your current relics leave you below it, improve Speed without destroying every other useful stat; a balanced, functioning build is preferable to an unusable collection of badly rolled pieces.
HP% is valuable for the same reason the guides favor HP sphere and an HP body as one option: Hyacine’s team utility includes Max HP support and her kit is built around sustaining allies. Outgoing Healing remains the competing body choice when your party already has enough HP and you want each heal to do more work. Effect RES is a late priority, but it can prevent control effects from interrupting the turns on which Hyacine must heal or refresh her Ultimate state.
How does Hyacine’s rotation work?
The practical rotation advice in the Version 4.5 guide is to reach the roughly 200 SPD target and keep the Ultimate’s After Rain state active. After Rain increases allies’ Max HP, so allowing it to lapse can reduce the value of Hyacine’s support even when everyone is still alive.
- Open with the action that establishes your team’s normal sustain pattern. Use Hyacine’s Skill when the party needs healing or when you need to bring Little Ica into the fight’s rhythm.
- Build energy while Little Ica supports the party. Its healing and healing-to-damage conversion mean Hyacine can contribute without abandoning sustain.
- Cast the Ultimate when it is available and the team can benefit from After Rain. The Max HP increase is part of her support value, not a cosmetic buff.
- Maintain the state rather than chasing a rigid turn script. The guide’s threshold and maintenance advice are priorities, while the exact order changes with incoming damage, energy, skill-point demand, and the rest of your roster.
Do not treat a published rotation as universal. A team with another energy source, a damage dealer that consumes many Skill Points, or a fight with delayed enemy turns can require a different timing window. The reliable principles are frequent actions, timely healing, and keeping After Rain available when your damage dealer is about to take its important turns.
Which teams work best with Hyacine?
Castorice-centered teams
Castorice is the clearest synergy named by Prydwen. Hyacine supplies team healing and Max HP support to an HP-scaling damage dealer, and healing helps stabilize a composition in which HP loss is part of the team’s game plan. This pairing is especially attractive when you want your sustain slot to add offensive value instead of only preventing defeat.
Evernight and other Remembrance-oriented partners
Prydwen also identifies March 7th • Evernight as a compatible teammate. The shared Remembrance context can make Hyacine’s memosprite-focused support feel more natural in teams that already benefit from frequent summon actions. Mortenax Blade and Blade are additional synergies named on the profile; choose among them according to which character is actually carrying your account’s damage output.
Version 4.5 premium example
Eneba’s Version 4.5 guide gives a premium example built around Castorice, March 7th Evernight, and Cyrene alongside Hyacine. This is a patch-specific illustration of the HP-support and Remembrance approach, not a claim that every account should copy those four characters.
Version 4.5 free-to-play example
The same guide lists a free-to-play setup using Remembrance Trailblazer, Pela, and Asta with Hyacine. It demonstrates that Hyacine can fit a lower-cost roster while still supplying healing, Max HP utility, and Little Ica’s damage conversion. Replace any member whose role conflicts with your account’s available damage or Skill Point economy.
| Team example | Characters listed by the guide | What the example demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Version 4.5 example | Hyacine, Castorice, March 7th Evernight, Cyrene | HP-oriented damage support with a premium Remembrance and synergy core. |
| Free-to-play Version 4.5 example | Hyacine, Remembrance Trailblazer, Pela, Asta | A lower-cost lineup that combines sustain with accessible support and damage amplification roles. |
These lineups are examples from a Version 4.5 guide. Character releases and balance changes can alter the best partner, so use the role logic—HP support, healing, summon or Remembrance interaction, and manageable Skill Point usage—when adapting them.
How do I assemble a Hyacine build step by step?
- Choose her job in the roster. Start from sustain and team utility, with Little Ica supplying additional damage. Do not build her as though she were a standalone main damage dealer.
- Select the Light Cone. Use Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky when available. Otherwise start with Memory’s Curtain Never Falls, then consider The Story’s Next Page as the other named option.
- Complete the relic framework. Work toward four Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder pieces and two Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding ornaments.
- Set the main stats. Put SPD on the feet, HP% on the sphere, Energy Regeneration Rate on the rope, and choose Outgoing Healing or HP% for the body.
- Fix Speed before polishing damage stats. Move toward approximately 200 SPD, using Speed substats and the set’s contribution before investing heavily in HP%, CRIT DMG, or Effect RES.
- Check the Ultimate cycle in an actual team. If After Rain frequently expires before the next Ultimate, value Energy Regeneration Rate and better action frequency over a small personal damage gain.
- Test the team’s Skill Point flow. Hyacine’s exact Skill use depends on incoming damage and on how many points your chosen damage dealer consumes. Keep enough flexibility to heal without delaying the carry’s key action.
What mistakes should you avoid when building Hyacine?
- Calling a guide ranking official. The surfaced rankings are secondary recommendations. HoYoverse did not provide an official build prescription in the cited material.
- Ignoring the patch label. The most current surfaced guide is labeled Version 4.6 and updated September 26, 2026; the team examples come from a Version 4.5 article updated September 4, 2026.
- Stacking HP while neglecting Speed. The current recommendation is to move toward roughly 200 SPD first, then improve HP% and later secondary stats.
- Letting After Rain drop without a reason. The Ultimate’s Max HP increase is a central part of Hyacine’s team utility, so plan energy and turns around maintaining it.
- Copying a four-character team without checking roles. Castorice, Evernight, Mortenax Blade, and Blade are named synergies, but the strongest lineup changes with your damage dealer, energy needs, and available supports.
- Farming only for a perfect body piece. The guides allow either Outgoing Healing or HP% on the body. A faster, well-rolled piece can be more useful than a theoretically ideal main stat that leaves Hyacine far below the Speed target.
How current are these Hyacine recommendations?
The Version 4.6 HSR Build page, updated September 26, 2026, is the freshest surfaced reference and labels its recommendations for Version 4.6. Its ranking language is based on Prydwen’s measured-in-play rankings, while base statistics and passive descriptions are drawn from game data. Read its Light Cone and relic order as a current community-tested recommendation, not a guarantee that every account or future patch will produce the same result.
Eneba’s guide was updated September 4, 2026 for Version 4.5 and supplies the free-to-play Light Cone choice, the 200 SPD rotation framing, and the premium and free-to-play team examples. Prydwen’s Hyacine profile was last updated May 31, 2026, with its last major build/calculation update in Patch 3.4. Those different dates explain why a new patch can make the newest ranking more relevant than an older calculation page.
What is the practical Hyacine verdict?
Build Hyacine as a fast, HP-oriented sustain who keeps Little Ica active and uses After Rain to raise team Max HP. Start with Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky if you have it; otherwise use Memory’s Curtain Never Falls. Farm Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder with Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding, target roughly 200 SPD, then refine HP%, CRIT DMG, and Effect RES. Pair her with HP-scaling or HP-loss damage dealers—especially Castorice—or adapt the cited premium and free-to-play examples to the roster and patch you actually play.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is approximately 200 SPD a mandatory Hyacine breakpoint?
No. The figure is a target recommended by the current secondary guides, not an official requirement that unlocks a unique Hyacine mechanic. Treat it as a benchmark for action frequency and Ultimate maintenance, then accept a lower total temporarily if reaching it would force unusable relics or collapse the rest of the team’s stats.
Do I need Hyacine’s signature Light Cone to make her viable?
The current rankings do not make it the only workable choice. Memory’s Curtain Never Falls is specifically identified as the strongest free-to-play alternative, and The Story’s Next Page is also listed, so the signature option is a ranking advantage rather than a prerequisite for using her sustain role.
Why are the recommended teams labeled by version?
Character releases, balance changes, and new Light Cones can change which damage dealer benefits most from Hyacine’s Max HP support and healing. The premium and free-to-play examples come from a Version 4.5 guide, while the newest equipment ranking is labeled Version 4.6, so use their roles as a framework and recheck them after major patches.
Should I prioritize CRIT stats over Effect RES on Hyacine?
The Version 4.6 recommendation puts both behind Speed and HP%, with CRIT DMG and Effect RES as later substats. In practice, keep the priority order intact: secure reliable turns and survivability first, then use remaining rolls to improve damage contribution or resistance to disabling effects.
