Hyacine Guide: Mastering the Windweaver of Remembrance in Honkai: Star Rail

Hyacine, the enigmatic Wind-type healer from the Remembrance Path, redefines sustain in Honkai: Star Rail with her risk-reward mechanics. Released in Version 3.3, she thrives in teams that leverage HP sacrifices for explosive power. Here’s how to optimize her gameplay.  

Kit Breakdown & Playstyle  

Hyacine’s abilities center on burning HP to heal and buff allies, making her a hybrid sustain/enabler unit. Key mechanics include:  

1. Skill - Sky-Mending Suture:  

   • Consumes 15% of Hyacine’s Max HP to heal a single ally for 30% of her Max HP + 500. Grants the target a 15% CRIT DMG buff for 2 turns.  

   • Synergy Tip: Pair with characters like Blade or Jingliu, who benefit from HP loss, to trigger their passive effects while healing.  

2. Ultimate - Dawn’s Covenant:  

   • Summons a Memosprite (summoned entity) that heals all allies for 20% of Hyacine’s Max HP at the start of each turn. The Memosprite also increases allies’ SPD by 10% for 1 turn after healing.  

   • Rotation Priority: Use her Ultimate after deploying team-wide buffs (e.g., Bronya’s Skill) to maximize SPD uptime.  

3. Talent - Aquila’s Embrace:  

   • When Hyacine’s HP drops below 50%, she gains a 20% Outgoing Healing boost and regenerates 5 Energy per turn. Stacks twice.  

   • Risk Management: Balance her HP loss with shields (e.g., Fu Xuan) to avoid accidental KO.  

Relic & Light Cone Recommendations  

Best Relic Sets  

1. Warrior Goddess of Daythunder (4-Piece):  

   • 2-Piece: +6% SPD.  

   • 4-Piece: Healing an ally grants “Light Rain,” boosting team CRIT DMG by 15% and Hyacine’s SPD by 6% for 2 turns.  

   • Ideal for: Teams prioritizing burst DPS windows (e.g., Seele or Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae).  

2. Passerby of Wandering Cloud (2-Piece) + Knight of Purity Palace (2-Piece):  

   • Combines +10% Outgoing Healing (Passerby) with 20% Max HP (Knight) for survivability.  

Top Light Cones  

1. Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky (Signature):  

   • Increases Outgoing Healing by 24%. After using Skill, grants all allies 12% CRIT Rate for 2 turns.  

2. Echoes of the Coffin (F2P Alternative):  

   • Boosts Outgoing Healing by 16% and Energy Regeneration by 12% when HP is above 50%.  

Team Compositions  

Hyacine excels in dual-DPS comps and DoT-focused teams:  

1. HP-Sacrifice Synergy:  

   • Blade + Jingliu + Hyacine + Bronya  

   • Mechanics: Blade/Jingliu’s self-drain pairs with Hyacine’s healing to maintain their HP thresholds while amplifying damage via CRIT buffs.  

2. Remembrance Freeze Comp:  

   • Hyacine + Castorice + Aventurine + Black Swan  

   • Strategy: Use Hyacine’s Memosprite to maintain SPD for freeze-locking enemies while Black Swan’s DoT stacks melt foes.  

3. Sustain-Flex Role:  

   • Replace traditional healers like Huohuo in teams needing CRIT support (e.g., Dr. Ratio hypercarry).  

Advanced Tips  

• Energy Management: Hyacine’s Ultimate costs 130 Energy. Use Meshing Cogs (3★ Light Cone) or Energy Rope to spam her Memosprite.  

• Talent Optimization: Keep her HP between 40-60% to maximize healing output without risking survivability.  

• Anti-Synergy Alert: Avoid pairing with Luocha, whose field healing disrupts Hyacine’s HP-dependent Talent triggers.
