Hyacine's Best Light Cone

Listed below are Hyacines best Lightcones.

Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky
S1
Increases the wearer's SPD by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0%. When the wearer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, consumes all allies' HP equal to 1.0 / 1.3 / 1.5 / 1.8 / 2.0% of their current HP, and after the next attack of the wearer's memosprite, enables it to additionally deal 1 instance of Additional DMG equal to 250.0 / 312.5 / 375.0 / 437.5 / 500% of the total consumed HP to the attacked target, with the damage type based on the memosprite's type. Then, the total consumed HP is reset. When the wearer's memosprite uses Memosprite Skill, increases the DMG taken by all enemies by 18.0 / 22.5 / 27.0 / 31.5 / 36.0%, lasting for 2 turn(s). Effects of the same type cannot stack.

Hyacine's Signature Lightcone and Hyacine's Best-in-Slot Lightcone for overall Healing and Team DPS. This Lightcone has additional synergy with characters that have triggers when their Health is drained like Evernight.
The Story's Next Page
S5
Increases the wearer's Max HP by 16.0 / 20.0 / 24.0 / 28.0 / 32.0%. After the wearer's memosprite attacks, the Outgoing Healing of the wearer and their memosprite increases by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%, lasting for 1 turn(s).

Sources: Event Warp (limited), Stellar Warp
This is a 4★ Limited Lightcone that provides a large boost to HP % and Outgoing Healing %. This Lightcone is Hyacine's Best Lightcone purely for healing output but has a lower effect on Team DPS than Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky or other 5★ options as it does not provide a team-wide buff.
To Evernight's Stars
S1
Increases the wearer's Max HP by 30.0 / 37.5 / 45.0 / 52.5 / 60.0%. When the wearer's memosprite uses an ability, the wearer gains "Noctis." While the wearer has "Noctis," the DMG dealt by all ally memosprites ignores 20.0 / 22.5 / 25.0 / 27.5 / 30.0% of the targets' DEF. Increases the DMG dealt by the wearer and their memosprite by 30.0 / 37.5 / 45.0 / 52.5 / 60.0%. When the wearer's memosprite disappears, the wearer recovers 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 Energy. Effects of the same type cannot stack.

Sources: Event Warp (limited)
This Lightcone gets most of its value from its high Base HP and HP % boost. The DEF Ignore granted to all ally Memosprites is a large increase in DPS for Memosprite teams but is weaker outside of them.
We do not suggest giving this to Hyacine if you have Evernight as it would be best used on Evernight.
This Love, Forever
S1
Increases the wearer's SPD by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0%. When the wearer's memosprite uses a Memosprite Skill on an ally, gains "Blank," which increases DMG taken by all enemies by 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0%. When the wearer's memosprite uses a Memosprite Skill on an enemy, gains "Verse," which increases CRIT DMG of all allies by 16.0 / 19.0 / 22.0 / 25.0 / 28.0%. When the wearer's memosprite has both "Blank" and "Verse," increases the effects of "Blank" and "Verse" by 60.0 / 65.0 / 70.0 / 75.0 / 80.0%.
Cyrene's Signature Lightcone. This Lightcone is potent for healing due to its extremely high Base HP and SPD % bonus. As Hyacine will not be able to to trigger the "Blank" effect of this Lightcone since Little Ica does not use any Memosprite Skills on allies this is significantly worse than Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky for DMG.
We do not suggest giving this to Hyacine if you have Cyrene as it would be best used on Cyrene.
Memory's Curtain Never Falls
S5
Increases the wearer's SPD by 6.0 / 7.5 / 9.0 / 10.5 / 12.0%. After the wearer uses Skill, increases the DMG dealt by all allies by 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0%, lasting for 3 turn(s).

Sources: Herta's Store
This is the Herta's Store 5★ Remembrance Lightcone. This Lightcone has a large increase to SPD % making it reasonably strong for Healing and the DMG% provided to allies makes it a decent option for Team Damage. This Lightcone is a good baseline Lightcone for Hyacine to use.
Make Farewells More Beautiful
S1
Increases the wearer's Max HP by 30.0 / 37.5 / 45.0 / 52.5 / 60.0%. When the wearer or their memosprite loses HP during their own turn, the wearer gains "Death Flower." "Death Flower" allows the wearer and their memosprite to ignore 30.0 / 35.0 / 40.0 / 45.0 / 50.0% of the target's DEF when dealing DMG, lasting for 2 turn(s). When the wearer's memosprite disappears, advances the wearer's action by 12.0 / 15.0 / 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0%. This effect can only trigger up to 1 time, and the trigger count resets every time the wearer uses Ultimate.

Sources: Event Warp (limited)
Castorice's Signature Lightcone. This Lightcone is good for healing because it has exceptional Base HP and it grants Max HP %. Hyacine cannot benefit from the DEF Ignore therefore this provides a lower increase to DMG compared to other Lightcone options.
We do not suggest giving this to Hyacine if you have Castorice as it would be best used on Castorice.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Hyacine

Best Relics for Hyacine

These are the best Relic Sets to build for Hyacine.

Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder
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.
This is Hyacine's best Relic Set to build as it provides a massive 12% SPD increase while also granting 15% CRIT DMG to your DPS. This is a strict upgrade over 2pc-2pc options due to the CRIT DMG provided to allies. We suggest playing this Relic Set as it makes reaching 180/200 SPD significantly easier.
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 an alternative Relic Set you can build that still provides a large boost to Team DPS by giving a large DMG Buff while still being strong for healing due to the 24% HP increase from the 4pc bonus. The 2pc on this Relic Set is completely wasted on Hyacine as she already has 100% CRIT Rate from her A6 Trace Gloomy Grin.

Best Planar Ornaments

Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding
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%.
This is Hyacine's best-in-slot Planar Ornament. This Planar Ornament provides SPD% which helps you reach the 180 SPD breakpoint for this Relics Healing Bonus or the 200 SPD Breakpoint for Hyacine's A2 Trace Tempestuous Halt.

Hyacine Build Comments

Character Explanation Build Advice

Character Explanation

Hyacine is a healer that has three main sources of healing: her Skill Love Over the Rainbow, her Ultimate We Who Fly Into Twilight and most importantly Take Sky in Hand from her Memosprite Little Ica.

The healing from Take Sky in Hand will happen immediately after damage making teams with Hyacine extremely safe as they are unlikely to die from a series of enemy turns in a row which can be an issue with other Healing units.

Hyacine's Ultimate We Who Fly Into Twilight grants Hyacine the "After Rain" state which grants all allies increased Max HP% and some Flat HP (30% and +600 at Lv10). While in the "After Rain" state Little Ica's healing with Take Sky in Hand will gain an additional effect increasing its healing output. The increase to allies HP from "After Rain" will make them significantly more durable against enemy damage and way less likely to die.

Hyacine's A2 Trace Tempestuous Halt increases her and Little Ica's Max HP% by 20% if she has over 200 SPD, and each additional SPD increases Hyacine's and Little Ica's Outgoing Healing by 1%. Up to a max of 200% Outgoing Healing can be granted by this effect.

Build Advice

When building Hyacine the most important goal is to reach at least 180 SPD for Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding's Outgoing Healing breakpoint. It is strongly recommended to still keep building SPD to reach 200 SPD for Hyacine's SPD breakpoint from Tempestuous Halt especially as 200 SPD is an important action breakpoint for an additional action in almost all endgame content as it grants another action every 50 AV.
Investing in SPD over 200 is still very strong and is Hyacine's best stat for Healing Output but if it causes you to lose significant valuable other Substats like HP% or CRIT DMG (for Damage output) it is not efficient.

HP% is Hyacine's second most impactful stat to invest in as it boosts both Healing and Damage output for Hyacine. When obtaining stats a single HP% (~3. 9% HP) roll is approximately 90% as strong as a SPD Sub Stat roll (~2.3 SPD) which is still very valuable.

Energy Regeneration Rate Rope is usually optimal on Hyacine as her Ultimate has a very high cost and maintaining uptime of her Ultimate buff "After Rain" is incredibly important for both Survivability and Team DPS if your allies scale with HP. Hyacine usually needs to use her Skill multiple times in order to rebuild Ultimate in 3 Turns or get a lot of energy from being hit by enemies even while using an Energy Regeneration Rate Rope.

We recommend using an Outgoing Healing Boost body armour as it is a bigger increase for healing and damage output than running a HP% body. Outgoing Healing Boost is a relatively rare stat and ends up being a more significant boost to healing done even after Hyacine gets a significant amount from Tempestuous Halt. This also ends up being a strong Damage output increase as Hyacine's damage is based on her healing output.

CRIT DMG is a useful stat for Hyacine as she does a fairly significant amount of damage by herself. We do not suggest prioritising this stat over HP% or SPD but can be used for tiebreakers on items you are not sure over. If you are playing with Evernight then Evernight will provide a significant amount of CRIT DMG for your Little Ica making CRIT DMG investment less efficient for damage.

Hyacine's Best Teams

To learn all about Hyacine's synergies and best team compositions, check our dedicated The Hyacine's team page below:

Hyacine's Best Eidolons

Hyacine's first Eidolon is quite powerful for Health Scaling teams but is significantly less potent in other teams.

Hyacine's E2 is incredible increasing all of your allies SPD by 30% which is a significant boost to team DPS. The increased SPD on Hyacine also boosts her healing output. This is an incredible Eidolon and is an efficient stopping point for investment.

Hyacine's E3 is quite a relatively Eidolon as it does not significantly increase her healing output. From a DPS perspective it is approximately a 10% increase to Hyacine's personal DPS output which is acceptable.

Hyacine's E4 is a significant boost to her personal DPS output for a well built Hyacine and makes hyper investing in SPD incredibly powerful.

Hyacine's E5 is a decent increase to her healing output as it boosts the levels of her main healing abilities but it is less of a DPS increase than her E3.

Hyacine's E6 is an incredible DPS increase for both her and the entire team. This is at least a 20% Team DPS increase.
