At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Cyrene
- Ultimate “Verse ◦ Vow ∞” fields a memosprite that acts as a second damage dealer—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
- Skill “Bloom, Elysium of Beyond” Gains 3 "Recollection" point(s) and deploys a Zone that lasts for 2 turns—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Hearts Gather as One” fields a memosprite that acts as a second damage dealer—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “This Love, Forever” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Remembrance carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- HP-spend skills mean Cyrene can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
- Spamming “Bloom, Elysium of Beyond” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Cyrene is often the SP sink.
Hyacine
- Ultimate “We Who Fly Into Twilight” restores HP across the threatened allies—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Love Over the Rainbow” restores HP across the threatened allies—Outgoing Healing and HP relics convert directly into safer DPS turns.
- Talent “First Light Heals the World” fields a memosprite that acts as a second damage dealer—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
- E0 without “Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Remembrance carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “We Who Fly Into Twilight”, Hyacine spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Spamming “Love Over the Rainbow” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Hyacine is often the SP sink.
