Evanescia Guide and Best Builds

Introductions

Evanescia is a 5-Star Physical Character following the Path of Elation. Evanescia excels at dealing AoE DMG to enemies through frequent use of her Ultimate.
Our Evanescia Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics, and team compositions to help you build the best Evanescia.

Evanescia's Best Light Cone

Listed below are the Light Cones we recommend for Evanescia.

Until the Flowers Bloom Again

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 60.0 / 75.0 / 90.0 / 105.0 / 120.0% and Energy Regeneration Rate by 10.0 / 11.5 / 13.0 / 14.5 / 16.0%. When the wearer's Max Energy is greater than 120.0, for every 10 points of Max Energy that exceeds this amount, further increases Energy Regeneration Rate by 0.3%, up to a maximum of 360.0 points of excess Max Energy taken into account. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases the DMG received by enemy targets by 15.0 / 18.8 / 22.5 / 26.3 / 30.0% for 2.0 turn(s). Effects of the same type cannot be stacked.

Until the Flowers Bloom again is Evanescia's signature weapon and her best-in-slot option. It increases her CRIT DMG as well as provides increased Energy Regeneration. More frequent energy generation allows Evanescia to use her ultimate more often.

Today's Good Luck
S5

Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%, stacking up to 2 times.

Today's Good Luck is a great 4-star option for Evanescia at S5, dealing only slightly less damage than her signature. This Light Cone increases her CRIT Rate as well as her Elation %.

Dazzled by a Flowery World

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 48.0 / 56.0 / 64.0 / 72.0 / 80.0%. While the wearer is on the field, for every 1 Elation character in the team, increases the Skill Point upper limit by 1, up to a max increase of 3. For every 1 Skill Point the wearer consumes, enables the Elation DMG dealt by this unit to ignore 5.0 / 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 / 9.0% of enemy targets' DEF, stacking up to 4 times. If 4 or more Skill Points are consumed in the same turn, the wearer gains "Stream Promo," which increases all allies' Elation by 20.0 / 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0 / 36.0%. Light Cone effects of the same type cannot stack.

Sparxie's signature can also be good on Evanescia, as it increases both her CRIT DMG and her Elation damage. It performs especially well in teams with multiple Elation characters. Additionally, every Skill Point Evanescia consumes allows her Elation damage to ignore a portion of enemy defence.

Mushy Shroomy's Adventures
S5

Increases the wearer's Elation by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation DMG taken by all enemies by 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 / 9.0 / 10.0% for 2 turn(s).

Mushy Shroomy's Adventures directly increases Evanescia's Elation stat making it a decent build option. Additionally, when Evanescia uses her Skill, it causes enemies to take increased Elation damage for a short duration. This is especially valuable since a large portion of her damage comes from Elation-based effects, allowing her to amplify not only her own damage but also that of other teammates.

Tomorrow, Together
S5

Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%. After the wearer uses their Ultimate, increases the Elation of all allies by 8.0 / 9.0 / 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0%, lasting for 1.0 turn(s).

This 4-star Light Cone is a solid option for Evanescia as it increases her CRIT DMG, and increases her Elation scaling. In addition, after Evanescia uses her Ultimate, it boosts the Elation of all allies for a short duration. This provides team-wide value, especially in Elation-focused teams, allowing both Evanescia and her teammates to deal increased Elation damage.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Evanescia

Best Relics for Evanescia

These are the best Relic sets for Evanescia.

Ever-Glorious Magical Girl

2-Piece Set: Increases CRIT DMG by 16.0%.

4-Piece Set: The Elation DMG dealt by the wearer and their memosprites ignores 10.0% of targets' DEF. For every 5 accumulated Punchline allies gain, the Elation DMG dealt additionally ignores 1.0% of targets' DEF, stacking up to 10 time(s).

Ever-Glorious Magical Girl is great for Evanescia and is her best build option. Additionally, every 5 stacks of Punchline lets Evanescia's Elation DMG ignore more enemy DEF, up to 10 stacks. This synergizes well with her kit, since she accumulates Punchline through her Skill.

Wavestrider Captain

2-Piece Set: Increases CRIT DMG by 16.0%.

4-Piece Set: When the wearer becomes the target of another ally target's ability, gains 1 stack of "Help," stacking up to 2 time(s). If there are 2 stack(s) of "Help" when the wearer uses their Ultimate, consumes all "Help" to increase the wearer's ATK by 48.0% for 1 turn(s).

Wavestrider is another relic set you can build for Evanescia, but worse than Magical Girl. It works well with allies who provide buffs, since each buff grants her a stack of "Help", increasing ATK when Evanescia uses her Ultimate. Because she relies heavily on her Ultimate, this relic set has good synergy.

Best Planar Ornaments

Punklorde Stage Zero

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Elation by 8.0%. When Elation reaches 40.0%/80.0% for the first time in combat, increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20.0%/32.0%.

Evanescia's best Planar Ornament to build around, as it not only enhances her overall Elation but also provides a significant CRIT DMG boost once her Elation stats meet the required amount for the first time during combat.

Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation

2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 4.0%. When an enemy target gets defeated, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 4.0%, stacking up to 10 time(s).

Another viable option for Evanescia, this relic set provides a small CRIT Rate boost while allowing her CRIT DMG to increase with each defeated enemy making it decent in AoE content such as Pure Fiction.

Evanescia Build Comments

Character Synergy Main DPS vs Sub DPS

Character Synergy

Evanescia works best with characters who help her build and maintain buffs, since her damage increases with the more energy she has. Her kit revolves around turning those buffs into extra damage and triggering multiple hits, so teammates who strengthen or speed up this process are very valuable.

She pairs especially well with buffer supports that provide stats like ATK, CRIT, or damage bonuses, as these directly boost her output. Characters who help with energy or give her more turns are also important, because they let her attack more often.

Teammates who deal frequent or AoE damage can further improve her performance by helping trigger additional effects tied to Elation mechanics. Running her alongside other Elation characters can make this even stronger, as they all benefit from the same system.

Overall, she fits best in a team where she is the main damage dealer, supported by units that keep her buffed, fast, and consistently attacking. She also works especially well with a sustain unit that focuses on cleansing rather than providing only heals.

Main DPS vs Sub DPS

Evanescia is a strong Elation DPS because her kit is built to constantly boost itself. She generates the key Elation resources easily, turns buffs into extra damage and keeps dealing consistent damage instead of relying only on big bursts.

Evanescia also hits multiple enemies and triggers lots of damage instances, which works perfectly with Elation mechanics. On top of that, she scales well with investment and benefits a lot from teammates, making her likely the main carry in Elation- focused teams. Overall, she's strong because she has self-scaling, high uptime and great synergy.

Evanescia Teams

Evanescia's Best Eidolons

E1 mainly improves consistency. She gains extra stacks more easily from all actions, which keeps her flowing and avoids downtime or skill point issues. Overall damage feels steadier, especially in longer or multi-wave fights.

E2 is a major damage increase. It provides a large CRIT DMG boost and also significantly increases the amount of Certified Banger she gains. This leads to much higher scaling on her Elation damage and overall output.

At E6, she becomes both a top-tier damage dealer and a powerful team amplifier. She massively boosts Elation DMG scaling through increased Certified Banger conversion and increased uptime while also enhancing team damage through stronger overall output.
