This is a 4★ Battlepass Lightcone that provides a large boost to personal DMG granting 20% CRIT Rate and 36% DMG at S5. This Lightcone does not provide any increase to Team DPS and does not boost SPD, which is Cyrene's best stat making it worse than other options. We do not recommend going for this Lightcone specifically for Cyrene. This Lightcone does not boost SPD which makes gearing significantly harder.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Cyrene

Best Relics for Cyrene

These are the best Relic Sets to build for Cyrene.

World-Remaking Deliverer

2-Piece Set: Increases CRIT Rate by 8.0%.

4-Piece Set: After the wearer uses Basic ATK or Skill, if the wearer's memosprite is on the field, increases Max HP of the wearer and their memosprite by 24.0%, and increases all allies' dealt DMG by 15.0%, lasting until after the wearer's next use of Basic ATK or Skill.

This is Cyrene's best Relic Set to build and but is only slightly ahead of any other options. This provides a large increase to team DPS via the Team-wide DMG Buff while also boosting Cyrene's personal damage with the CRIT Rate % from the 2pc, and a big HP% boost from the 4pc. Other options may be stronger if you are struggling to get SPD as it is extremely important you get SPD on Cyrene above all else.

Eagle of Twilight Line

2-Piece Set: Increases Wind DMG by 10.0%.

4-Piece Set: After the wearer uses their Ultimate, their action is Advanced Forward by 25.0%.

This is a more niche Relic Set to build but can give amazing results with the right setups. After Transforming Cyrene uses her Ultimate extremely frequently (at least once every 2 Turns, in Memosprite teams it can be even faster) so Eagle gives you more turns over an entire fight than running SPD sets. It is still extremely important to get to 180 SPD when running Eagle for Cyrene's A2 Trace Causality in Trichotomy. This set is best used when paired with Chyrsos heirs with amazing repeatable bonuses like or .

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

This is a competitive option for Cyrene that provides more SPD% making it easier to reach her 180 SPD breakpoint for Cyrene's A2 Trace Causality in Trichotomy. After Cyrene transforms she use her Ultimate very frequently providing good uptime on the 12% SPD Buff.

Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When using Skill or Ultimate on one ally target, increases the ability target's CRIT DMG by 18.0%, lasting for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack up to 2 time(s).

This is another viable option for easier gearing since the 2pc provides 6% SPD. Cyrene will maintain the CRIT DMG bonus from the 4pc on herself giving her 36% CRIT DMG at all times as both her Skill and Ultimate count using it on herself.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally, SPD for all allies increases by 12.0% for 1 turn(s). This effect cannot be stacked.

2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer or their memosprite provides healing to ally targets other than themselves, the wearer gains "Gentle Rain," which lasts for 2 turn(s) and can only trigger once per turn. While the wearer has "Gentle Rain," SPD increases by 6.0% and all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 15.0%. This effect cannot stack.

Running 2 of the 6% SPD sets (, or ) is a good option if you are struggling to get to the 180 SPD breakpoint for Cyrene's A2 Trace Causality in Trichotomy.

Best Planar Ornaments

Amphoreus, The Eternal Land

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 8.0%. While the wearer's memosprite is on the field, increases all allies' SPD by 8.0%. This effect cannot be stacked.

This is Cyrene's best-in-slot Planar Ornament. This Planar Ornament provides 8% CRIT Rate for Cyrene always and 8% SPD for all allies after Cyrene uses her Ultimate and summons her Memosprite. Your team can only benefit from one Amphoreus Planar Ornament set so it might be beneficial to get it from a character who has their Memosprite active immediately like .

Sprightly Vonwacq

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's action is Advanced Forward by 40.0% immediately upon entering battle.

This is a potent alternative to that makes allows you to get 3 turns in the 0th cycle at 180 SPD instead of 200. Additionally at 184 SPD you can get two turns in the 1st cycle too. Using Vonwacq will slightly lower the damage that she provides compared to but getting more turns will allow her to build Recollection towards her Ultimate faster which is the main source of her DPS output for a team.

Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern

Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's SPD by 6.0%. When the wearer hits an enemy target that has Fire Weakness, the wearer's Break Effect increases by 40.0%, lasting for 1 turn(s).

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's SPD by 6.0%. When the wearer's SPD is 135/180 or higher, the wearer and their memosprite's Outgoing Healing increases by 12.0%/20.0%.

These sets provide a static 6% SPD which is valuable if you are struggling to reach the 180 SPD breakpoint or the 200 SPD breakpoints as these are the most impactful things to do for Cyrene and getting CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and more Health is a luxury. This is especially useful if you are running as otherwise may still be a better option even if you lack the SPD in the first cycle.
