Evernight Best Builds, Teams & Relics

Character Explanation

Evernight's gameplay revolves around summoning her Memosprite Evey and generating Memoria stacks from using her Skill Day Gently Slips. Whenever Evernight reaches 16 stacks of Memoria and Evey is active it will immediately take action (time until next turn is set to 0 AV) and will then use Dream, Dissolving, as Dew on its next turn after which Evey will disappear.

Evernight generates stacks of Memoria from these sources:

• Day Gently Slips (Evernight's Skill) — 2 or 14 if she has Darkest Riddle Charges from her Ultimate. Factoring in all Trace and Talent effects this is 7 or 19 stacks respectively.
• With Me, This Night (Evernight's Talent) — 2.
• Rouse the Flame, Lull the Light (A4 Trace) — 1.
• Remembrance, Whirling, Like Rain (Evey's Memosprite Skill) — 1. Factoring in all Trace and Talent effects this makes 4 stacks.
• Let it Rain Cold On Thee (Technique) — 1.

When combined these effects result in significant Memoria generation as for example:
When Evernight casts her Skill Day Gently Slips she will add 2 stacks, but she will also hurt herself from the HP consumption which means her Talent With Me, This Night will add 2 stacks. As she cast an ability she will also trigger Rouse the Flame, Lull the Light adding an additional stack. She will also trigger her A6 Trace Dark the Night, Still the Moon which will consume 5% of health, once again triggering her Talent to add another 2 stacks. In total this single cast of her Skill generated 7 stacks of Memoria without factoring in Darkest Riddle or her Eidolon 2 Listen Up, the Slumber Speaks Soft. With Darkest Riddle up it would have made 19 stacks!
The same happens with Evey's Skill Remembrance, Whirling, Like Rain and it will make 4 stacks after all of the triggers.
When Evey uses Dream, Dissolving, as Dew she will generate 3 Memoria stacks that are factored into the damage; She will generate 2 stacks afterwards from the HP consumption leaving you with 2 stacks left over after Evey disappears.

Evernight's Skill Day Gently Slips grants an aura buff that provides 24% (At Lv10) of Evernight's CRIT DMG to all allied Memosprites. This buff is exceptionally potent and is her main Supporting buff for increasing the damage of allies. This also effectively means that she gets 1.24x as much CRIT DMG as other characters for scaling her own damage making it her best stat for DPS output.
This will not factor in the CRIT DMG provided by Remembrance Trailblazer's Friends! Together! and this will not be factored into Friends! Together! either.

Evernight's Ultimate O Wakeful World, Goodnight gives 2 Charges of Darkest Riddle. Darkest Riddle will be consumed whenever Evey uses Dream, Dissolving, as Dew. While Evernight has Darkest Riddle all enemies will take 30% increased DMG Taken and the DMG Dealt by Evernight and Evey deals will be increased by 60%. These buffs and debuffs are removed at the start of Evernight's turn if she no longer has any Darkest Riddle Stacks.

Evernight has significant damage buffs and stat boosts from her Traces and abilities.

• Evernight's Talent With Me, This Night — 60% CRIT DMG (at Lv10).
• A2 Trace Kindle the Morn, Drop the Rain — up to 65% CRIT DMG
• A6 Trace Dark the Night, Still the Moon — 35% CRIT Rate and 15% CRIT DMG.
• Evernight's Ultimate O Wakeful World, Goodnight — 60% DMG (At Lv10) and 30% increased Damage Taken on enemies.
• Evey's Talent Solitude, Drifting, In Murk — 50% DMG (At Lv10).
• Evey's Talent You, Parting, Beyond Reach — up to 50% SPD (Approximately 24% on average).

Build Advice

The highest stat priority when building Evernight is to make sure she will achieve 100% CRIT Rate in combat. If you are playing with Remembrance Trailblazer and intend on using Lemme! Help You! on Evernight then you will want to aim for 55% sheet CRIT Rate (10% from RMC and 35% from Evernight).

After you cap your CRIT Rate you will want to make sure you have at least enough SPD to reach a SPD breakpoint. These SPD breakpoints are different on Evernight to other characters due to her passive You, Parting, Beyond Reach that gives her significant amounts of SPD. This passive devalues investing in SPD slightly for Evernight as you already receive a significant amount for free and having more SPD will result in slightly less stacks on average which means a lower SPD% buff. You can aim for approximately 24 SPD less than the normal breakpoints that are used on other characters and this will usually give the same result, although you might need slightly more SPD on some encounters that do not generate as many Memoria stacks for you from their attacks.
Without SPD boots you are aiming to get 110 SPD as that is usually sufficient to get an extra action in 150 AV.
With SPD boots you are aiming to get 137 SPD as that should usually be sufficient to get another action in 250 AV.

With SPD and CRIT Rate dealt with you will ideally want to have all of your other Substat upgrades in CRIT DMG as it is your best stat. That being said HP% is approximately equivalent to 0.8 CRIT DMG Substats and should not be discounted when comparing Relic Quality as Evernight is a Sub DPS that provides a lot of her team value through her own damage instead of just via buffs.

Without E2 Energy Regeneration Rate Ropes are viable if they are rolled well, especially at lower SPD where you will get more percentage of skills used with Darkest Riddle stacks. Having an Energy Regeneration Rate Rope will let more Ultimate casts in over a fight increasing its uptime. If you have Eidolon 2 then the Ultimate is almost always up due to the additional 2 stacks provided making an Energy Regeneration Rate Rope significantly less effective.
