Hyacine is a 5-star Wind character on the Path of Remembrance, dropping in the first half of Version 3.3 (May 20, 2025, to June 11, 2025, UTC-5). She’s a speedy healer who sacrifices HP to keep the team alive, paired with her memosprite, Little Ica, for steady healing and some AoE damage.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to analyze her kit to see if you should pull for her or not.

Hyacine Kit Overview

Hq720 3

Abilities

  • Basic Attack: Hits one enemy with Wind DMG equal to 50% of Hyacine’s Max HP.
  • Skill: Calls in Little Ica (or clears crowd control debuffs if Ica’s already out). Heals all allies (except Ica) for 8% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 160, and gives Ica 10% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 200.
  • Ultimate: Summons Little Ica, heals allies (except Ica) for 10% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 200, and gives Ica 12% of Hyacine’s Max HP + 240. Hyacine enters the “After Rain” (aka Petrichoric Clear Skies) state for 3 turns, boosting allies’ Max HP by a chunk of her Max HP + a fixed amount. The state ticks down by 1 each time Hyacine’s turn starts.
  • Talent: Little Ica spawns with HP equal to 50% of Hyacine’s Max HP. Healing from Hyacine or Ica boosts Ica’s DMG by 100% for 2 turns (stacks up to 3 times, max 240% DMG boost). Ica uses its own HP to heal allies when they take hits, dealing AoE damage based on total healing.
  • Technique: Heals all allies when entering battle.
  • Memosprite (Little Ica): Ica has 0 SPD, doesn’t show in the Action Order, and takes extra turns to deal AoE damage or heal based on Hyacine’s moves. Ica’s attacks scale with healing, and it can shake off crowd control debuffs with Hyacine’s Skill.

Traces

  • Gloomy Grin (A2): Gives Hyacine and Ica 100% CRIT Rate, making relic builds easier. Boosts Outgoing Healing by 25% for allies with HP ≤ 50% of their Max HP.
  • Stormy Caress: Ups Hyacine’s Effect RES by 50%. Her Skill and Ultimate clear 1 debuff from all allies.
  • Tempestuous Halt: If Hyacine’s SPD is over 200, her and Ica’s Max HP increase, improving healing and damage. Every 1 SPD above 200 adds 1% Outgoing Healing (up to 200%).
  • Trace Priority: Ultimate > Memosprite Talent > Skill > Memosprite Skill > Talent > Basic ATK.

Eidolons

  • E1 (Safeguard the Candle in the Night): Pumps up Petrichoric Clear Skies’ Max HP boost by 50%. Allies regain 8% of Hyacine’s Max HP after attacking in this state.
  • E3: Boosts Ultimate level by 2 (max 15) and Basic Attack/Memosprite Skill by 1 (max 10).
  • E4 (Gleaming Amber For You): Improves Tempestuous Halt. Every 1 excess SPD adds 2% CRIT DMG for Hyacine and Ica.
  • E5: Ups Skill and Talent by 2 (max 15), Memosprite Skill by 1 (max 10).
  • E6 (O Sky, Heed My Wishes): Ica clears 10% of the healing tally after using Memosprite Skill. With Ica active, allies get 24% All-Type RES PEN.

Signature Light Cone: Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky

  • Boosts wearer’s SPD by 18–30%. Using Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate burns 1–2% of allies’ current HP, adding extra Memosprite-type DMG (250–500% of consumed HP) after Ica’s next attack.
  • Backup Option: Memory’s Curtain (F2P, offers SPD and DMG boosts).

Relics and Planar Ornaments

  • Best Relics: Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder (SPD) + Giant Tree of Rapt Brooding (SPD and support).
  • Planar Ornaments: Not specified, but focus on SPD, HP%, and Outgoing Healing Bonus.
  • Stat Priority: SPD (200+), HP%, Outgoing Healing Bonus, CRIT DMG (to use the 100% CRIT Rate).

Team Synergy

  • HP-Scaling DPS: Castorice (speeds up Newbud generation), Mydei, Blade, Tribbie. Hyacine’s Max HP boost and healing make these units hit harder.
  • Free-to-Play Team: Hyacine + Remembrance Trailblazer + Pela (DEF shred) + CRIT DPS (HP-scaling preferred).
  • General Use: Fits as a sustain in most teams, especially with HP-drain units.

Should You Pull for Hyacine?

Reasons to Pull

  1. Top Healer for HP-Scaling Teams:
    • Hyacine’s a game-changer for Castorice, boosting Newbud generation and Netherwing summons with her Max HP buff and AoE healing. She’s also great with Mydei, Blade, and Tribbie.
    • Her healing shines with units that lose HP on purpose.
  2. Unique Remembrance Healer:
    • First healer on the Remembrance Path, she provides constant healing through Skill, Ultimate, and Ica, plus AoE cleanse and some damage (240% DMG boost from Talent).
    • Little Ica dishes out solid AoE damage based on healing, rare for a sustain.
  3. Flexible Sustain:
    • While best with HP-scaling teams, she works in most comps, especially with her signature Light Cone.
    • AoE cleanse (Skill/Ultimate) and 50% Effect RES make her solid in debuff-heavy fights.
  4. Fast Healing:
    • At 200+ SPD, Hyacine heals often, boosts Max HP, and ramps up Ica’s damage, keeping her active and effective.
  5. Cool Design and Story:
    • If you like animal-themed characters or Hyacine’s Chrysos Heir lore, her rainbow-pony memosprite and colorful look might win you over.

Reasons to Skip

  1. Niche for HP-Scaling Teams:
    • If you don’t run HP-scaling DPS like Castorice or Blade, her Max HP buff and HP-drain synergy aren’t as useful. Healers like Luocha, Huohuo, or Gallagher might be enough.
  2. Tricky to Build:
    • Needs high SPD (200+), Max HP, Outgoing Healing Bonus, and maybe CRIT DMG, so relic farming’s a pain.
  3. Limited Cleanse:
    • AoE cleanse is tied to Skill/Ultimate, eating SP and lacking the flexibility of Huohuo or Lingsha’s out-of-turn cleanses.
  4. Competition in Version 3.3:
    • Cipher (Quantum Nihility, Phase 2) might be better if you need a debuffer for Feixiao or Acheron. Reruns like The Herta (Erudition) or Aglaea could also tempt you.
  5. Resource Issues:
    • If you haven’t unlocked Amphoreus or lack materials (like A Glass of the Besotted Era or Bīja of Consciousness), building her will be tough.

Comparison to Other Healers

  • Vs. Luocha: Hyacine’s AoE healing and Max HP buff are better for Castorice teams, but Luocha’s single-target healing is stronger for general use.
  • Vs. Gallagher: Gallagher’s a decent 4-star for Firefly or HP-drain teams, but Hyacine’s damage and cleanse give her an edge.
  • Vs. Huohuo: Huohuo’s better for burst healing and energy buffs, great for quick recovery. Hyacine’s stronger for steady healing and HP-scaling teams.
