Hysilens
Who is Hysilens?
Hysilens (real name Helektra) is a 5★ Physical support of the Nihility Path and, as of Patch 4.2, a strong DoT enabler and sub-DPS — but she must be played with Kafka (essentially non-negotiable per Prydwen). Her Talent inflicts one of the four main DoTs whenever an ally attacks.
Kit Summary
Whenever an ally attacks, she has a 100% base chance to inflict one of four DoTs (Wind Shear, Burn, Shock, Bleed).
Her Skill deals AoE damage and increases enemies DMG taken; her Ultimate deploys an AoE Zone.
A multi-DoT enabler hard-paired with Kafka, who detonates her stacked DoTs; needs Effect Hit Rate.
