Where these rankings come fromThe light cone order, relic sets and stat priorities on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and rephrased. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the superimposition and team its row states. Everything else (base stats, passive text, material totals) is read from the game’s own data.

Light cones

Relics

Prisoner in Deep Confinement, Cavern Relic set | Honkai: Star Rail
CorePrisoner in Deep Confinement

The go-to best DoT set because of the DEF Shred it provides and which Hysilens can effortlessly max out thanks to all her DoTs.

2PCIncreases ATK by 12%.

4PCFor every DoT the enemy target is afflicted with, the wearer will ignore 6% of its DEF when dealing DMG to it. This effect is valid for a max of 3 DoTs.

Planar ornaments

Revelry by the Sea, Planar Ornament set | Honkai: Star Rail
CoreRevelry by the Sea

If you don't need the Effect Hit Rate from pan Cosmic to reach 120%, this DoT Planar is Hysilens' best choice by a reasonable amount.

2PCIncreases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's ATK is higher than or equal to 2400/3600, increases the DoT DMG dealt by 12%/24% respectively.
