Cyrene has arrived in Honkai: Star Rail, bringing style, intellect, and a brand-new level of team synergy to the Path of Remembrance. As a 5-star Ice character, she blends tactical support with heavy-hitting buffs, making her one of the most valuable additions to any team this patch. Below is a full guide on how to build Cyrene, covering her best Light Cones, relics, stats, and team compositions based on early testing and official previews.

Who Is Cyrene?

Cyrene isn’t your typical damage dealer. Instead, she enhances the team’s output through critical buffs and debuffs that increase Crit Damage and overall team efficiency. Her Memosprite mechanic allows her to apply unique dual-effect buffs, Blank and Verse, that can simultaneously amplify your allies and weaken your enemies.

She thrives in setups that rely on burst windows or characters who can capitalize on Crit boosts.

Best Light Cones for Cyrene

Top Pick: This Love, Forever (5★)
Her signature Light Cone is tailor-made for her kit. It boosts SPD and grants both “Blank” (enemies take more damage) and “Verse” (allies gain Crit DMG). When both effects are active, the benefits stack, pushing your team’s DPS to the next level.

Strong Alternatives:

• Memory’s Curtain Never Falls (5★) – Boosts allies’ overall damage when Cyrene applies buffs or debuffs.
• Victory in a Blink (4★) – Great for free-to-play players who still want decent Crit and SPD scaling.
• Incessant Rain (5★, Harmony) – Works well if you don’t have her signature Light Cone, offering a general damage boost to buff-heavy supports.

Best Relic & Planar Sets

Cyrene’s relic setup depends on whether you want her to focus more on buffing or sustaining her team.

Recommended Relic Sets:

• World-Remaking Deliverer (4-piece): Increases Crit Rate and boosts skill-based buff effects.
• Messenger Traversing Hackerspace (4-piece): Excellent for SPD builds, allowing your whole team to act faster.
• 2-piece Mix Option: Pair World-Remaking Deliverer (2p) with Messenger Traversing Hackerspace (2p) for balanced SPD and Crit Rate bonuses.

Planar Ornaments:

• Amphoreus, The Eternal Land: Increases Crit Rate and improves team synergy for DPS-heavy lineups.
• Broken Keel: If you prefer defensive utility, this boosts team Crit DMG once Effect RES exceeds 30%.

Main Stats Priority:

• Body: Crit DMG or Crit Rate
• Feet: SPD
• Planar Sphere: Ice DMG Bonus or HP%
• Link Rope: Energy Regen Rate or HP%

Substats to Aim For: SPD > Crit Rate > Crit DMG > HP% > Energy Regen

Best Team Compositions for Cyrene

Cyrene fits beautifully into teams that rely on high Crit scaling or chain-reaction combos. Her buffs make her a near-essential support for both hypercarry and mixed-element setups.

Top Teams:

1. Cyrene + Castorice + Evernight + Hyacine
   • A high-synergy comp where Cyrene’s buffs amplify Evernight’s burst windows while Hyacine provides sustain.
2. Cyrene + Phainon + Cerydra + Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae
   • Leverages high Crit scaling and aggressive burst patterns. Cyrene keeps uptime on buffs while Dan Heng delivers powerful finishing strikes.
3. Cyrene + Mydei + Tribbie + Hyacine
   • Perfect balance of support, healing, and explosive damage. Cyrene’s SPD focus ensures her buffs are always active before DPS rotations.

Final Thoughts

Cyrene is one of the most flexible and stylish supports Honkai: Star Rail has released yet. Her mix of Crit-enhancing buffs and reaction-driven debuffs make her an invaluable partner for any DPS-heavy roster. If you love elegant playstyles that revolve around timing and precision, Cyrene is the perfect addition to your lineup.
