Cyrene is a 5-star Ice character who follows the Path of Remembrance. She is a premier support designed primarily for Chrysos Heir teams (e.g., Castorice, Mydei, Phainon, Aglaea, Anaxa, Evernight, Hysilens), providing unique buffs via her Memosprite, teamwide DMG boosts, True DMG amplification, and ally Ultimate activation.
Simple Ability Summary
Cyrene builds Recollection points (faster with 2+ Chrysos Heirs or Remembrance allies) to fuel her Ultimate. Her kit revolves around summoning a Memosprite (scales with her HP, cleanses CC, 0 SPD out-of-bounds).
- Basic ATK (Lo, Hope Takes Flight!): Ice DMG = 50% Max HP to single enemy. Gains 1 Recollection pt. Enhanced (To Love and Tomorrow ♪): Ice DMG to single + all enemies (30% Max HP each), gains 3 pts (no SP recovery).
- Skill (Bloom, Elysium of Beyond): Gains 3 Recollection pts. Deploys Zone (2 turns, -1/turn): Allies' DMG triggers extra True DMG (24% of original DMG). Dispels if Cyrene downed.
- Ultimate (Verse ◦ Vow ∞): At 24 pts (12 in enhanced state): Summons Memosprite (extra action), activates ALL ally Ults (1x/combat), enters Ripples of Past Reverie (+50% CRIT Rate for Cyrene/Memosprite, enhanced Basic, permanent Zone).
- Memosprite Skill (Minuet of Blooms and Plumes): AoE Ice DMG (60% its Max HP). Buffs 1 ally: Unique for Chrysos Heirs (e.g., Castorice Newbud overflow, Mydei CRIT DMG, Aglaea energy/SPD) or +40% DMG (others).
- Talent (Hearts Gather as One): Allies/Memosprites get Future mark (on start/Cyrene action). Consumed on ally action for 1 Recollection pt. +20% team DMG while Cyrene on-field. Overflow to 27 pts.
- Technique: Dimension: Enemies "This Moment, Forever" (immobile), allies +50% movespeed, auto-Zone on combat start.
Playstyle: Stack SPD/HP for fast ramp (180+ SPD unlocks +DMG & Ice RES PEN traces). Ult early, Memosprite buffs Heirs, Zone amps True DMG, sustain rotations.
Best Light Cone & Alternatives
Prioritize SPD for more turns/Recollection. Signature excels post-Ult.
| Light Cone | Rarity | Why? | Alternatives Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| This Love, Forever (Signature) | 5★ | +18-30% SPD. Memosprite Skill: "Blank" (+10-18% enemy DMG Taken) on ally / "Verse" (+16-28% team CRIT DMG) on enemy. Both: +60-80% effects. Perfect synergy. | Best |
| Memory's Curtain Never Falls | 5★ | +6-12% SPD. Post-Skill: +8-16% team DMG (3 turns). F2P BiS. | Excellent |
| Long May Rainbows Adorn the Sky (Hyacine rerun) | 5★ | +10-18% SPD. Post-Memosprite Skill: +12-20% enemy DMG Taken (2 turns). | Great |
| Victory in a Blink | 4★ | +12-24% CRIT DMG. Post-Memosprite ally buff: +8-16% team DMG (3 turns). | Good F2P |
| Sweat Now, Cry Less / Reminiscence | 4★ | CRIT Rate/DMG for self/Memosprite. Budget options. | Viable |
Artifacts: Relics, Planars & Substats
Goal: 180 SPD breakpoint (team DMG+, RES PEN). HP scales everything (DMG, Memosprite HP, buffs). CRIT for personal contrib.

Best Teams
Cyrene shines with 2+ Chrysos Heirs for fast Recollection + unique buffs. Use Hyacine/Tribbie for sustain/amplify.
| Team | Roles | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Castorice Hypercarry | Castorice (DPS), Evernight (Sub-DPS/Support), Cyrene (Buffer), Hyacine (Sustain) | Newbud overflow to 200%, Netherwing DMG amp vs. ≤2 targets. Top MoC/PF. |
| Mydei | Mydei (DPS), Cerydra (Buffer), Cyrene (Buffer), Hyacine (Sustain) | Free Godslayer on CRIT, hyperbuffs. |
| Phainon | Phainon (DPS), Cerydra (Buffer), Cyrene (Buffer), Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (Sustain) | Perpetual Transformation, CRIT buffs. |
| Aglaea | Aglaea (DPS), Sunday (Buffer), Cyrene (Buffer), Hyacine (Sustain) | Energy/SPD stacks, Ult battery. |
| Anaxa | Anaxa (DPS), Cerydra (Buffer), Cyrene (Buffer), Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (Sustain) | Immediate actions, SP, Erudition DMG. |
| Evernight | Evernight (DPS), Trailblazer (Remembrance) (Sub-DPS), Cyrene (Buffer), Hyacine (Sustain) | CRIT DMG/Memoria scaling. |
| F2P | Any DPS, Trailblazer (Ice/Remembrance), Cyrene (Buffer), Permansor Terrae (Sustain) | Basic Heir synergy. |
Flex: Tribbie/RMC/Sunday (amps), Lingsha/Luocha (alt sustain).
Rotation: Skill > Basic (build pts) > Allies act (Recollection) > Ult > Memosprite buffs > Enhanced Basic > Repeat (12 pts for re-Ult).
Eidolons
E0S1 viable, but E2 fixes ramp-up. Prioritize: E2 > E1 > E6 > E4.
| Eidolon | Effect | Value |
|---|---|---|
| E1: Epics, Born on a Blank Slate | Memosprite "Ode": +6 Recollection, +12 bounces. | Good personal DMG/ramp. |
| E2: A Tomorrow in Thirteen Shades | +12 Recollection start. +6% Zone True DMG per buffed ally (max 24-48%). | Must-pull: Near-instant Ult, +DMG. |
| E4: Please Write On, With a Smile | Post-Memosprite: +6% "Ode" DMG/bounce (max 24 stacks). | Niche DMG. |
| E6: Remembrance, Sung in Ripples | 1st Ult: 100% ally advance. "Ode": 1st -20% DEF, later +24% advance. | Godly cycle control. |
Worth? E0 great for Heirs; E2 makes universal BiS. Skip if no Heirs invested.
