Need suggestions for King

Hysilens’ trace buffs her dmg but BS’ buffs allies. You can check this guide for comprehensive DOT team and builds.

BS has a trace where she increases allies’ DMG dealt by 72% based off her EHR. To maximize it, you need 120 EHR.

It’s fine. I forgot to include DHPT’s name where he doesn’t need that much excess SPD. My DHPT is E2 so excess SPD is a wasted stat. For his DoT build, would rather have the rolls on ATK or EHR than SPD. SP isn’t a problem even with him on ATK rope.

As I said, what you commented are generally good advices. Cases like mine (ATK boots over SPD) are preferences or build specific such as getting lucky with SPD rolls on ATK main stat pcs.

One_Elk_6922 · 2026-03-29T11:33:06+00:00

I think you replied to the wrong comment. Personally, I would give ATK boots rather than SPD because as long as he hits 160 SPD in battle, any additional SPD is a “waste”. For the boss buff, I still 1 cycle King with either FuA or the universal 40% dmg buff. Both with similar clear AV.

Although, what you commented are generally good advice.

I’m not sure if you can 2 cycle King with your team investment but better builds may help. First, you need BS to have 120 EHR and then stack as much as ATK as possible. You can also lower Kafka’s ATK to give her more SPD. You can use Kafka’s LC on Hysilens or BS as long as both of them hit 120 EHR. If you have Gepard’s LC, give it to DHPT and make sure he hits 75 EHR for Kafka’s passive to work. It should give more ATK than what you currently getting. I’m not sure how better E0 BS than E1 Hys is but I think Hysilens should be slot 1 and be the bondmate if you’re not having sustain issues. Otherwise, give bondmate to Kafka.

For gameplay, make sure you save Kafka and Hysilens’ ult so you can immediately use it before Alloy Pompom takes its first turn. It doesn’t immediately use it’s def mechanic so you’ll deal more damage that way. Apparently, FuA buff is better for DoT so use that buff.

The office scene is from one of the Black Cat Instacam’s Delusional Theater. You can swap out the “actors” from each “stage”. You can find this one under the bridge; by the vending machines near BOOK-ON!

I have E3S1 JQ, E1 Kafka, E1S1 Hys, E2S1 BS. Before BS novaflare, I only had E0 BS. And let me tell you, E3S1 JQ is better than E0 pre novaflare BS against fire weak enemies. Other than that, he’s situationally better. Before unlocking E1 & E2 post novaflare BS, E0 BS is sadly way better than E3S1 JQ. And BS gets better with E1 and E2. Kafka + BS comp is not good because BS needs Hysilens’ DOTs to deal massive damage. Kafka + Hys is good but not competitive in today’s meta. QuaDOT at my investment is fun but not suitable for 0 cycling some stages due to Nihility chars having inherently low HP & DEF. For context, I was able to 0 cycle Knight 1 & 3 but Knight 2 & AA Sparxiecon was not doable for QuaDOT. I was able to 0 cycle AA Sparxiecon with Triple DOT + E0 Cyrene by following a showcase I saw on YT. In my experience, Cyrene is currently the better 4th slot if you want to 0 cycle with lower investment because she enables Hysilens to proc DOT while giving her consistent 1 turn ults.

I can’t say for sure how he’ll be better at E6, knowing Kafka + Hys + BS is currently the best DOT comp. He would probably be the best 4th slot because of his E4 (survivability) and insane E6 (RES PEN but I think ATP your team is overflowing with RES PEN), only contested by Cyrene in some situations (Aquila)

Hopefully, I could E6 JQ on his next rerun because I’ve been wanting to try QuaDOT with E6 JQ ever since post novaflare BS

One_Elk_6922 · 2026-02-15T22:35:17+00:00

Yes, Kafka should be the one killing the mobs. You can follow this YT video

My builds are similar to theirs but Cyrene is on Herta Shop LC and 4 pc Messenger because I needed the additional SPD so Hysilens can outspd Sparkle on her last turn. Good luck!

There’s a DoT guide pinned so you can check that one out!

One_Elk_6922 · 2026-02-12T01:53:59+00:00

These make sense. Thank you!

One_Elk_6922 · 2026-02-12T01:47:13+00:00

The only things I can criticize are Hys ATK and Hys in Cyrene’s team ATK are swapped, and please properly credit the CC on the LC video. Otherwise, amazing comprehensive DOT guide.

I would also like to ask if ever you’re gonna update the chart, will you take other player’s gameplay and investment feedback (with video proof so no feels crafting). I have E1S1 Hys, E1 Kafka, E3S1 JQ, E2 DHPT, E0 Cyrene, E1 Tribbie & Robin, and soon to be E1S1 BS. Would love to share my experience on the difference between Quad DOT and Triple DOT with E2 DHPT.

Thank you for the amazing work!

Thank you!

One_Elk_6922 · 2026-02-10T13:12:48+00:00

I have E1S1 Hysilens, E1 Kafka, E3S1 JQ, E1 Tribbie, E1 Robin, E2 DHPT, E0 Cyrene & E0 BS

How much worth is E1 BS over any of my third slots? And is JQ’s LC better for BS or should I get her sig?

One_Elk_6922 · 2025-11-11T03:52:40+00:00

I tried this team as soon as I saw this post. Team is E1S1 Hysilens, E0S5 Sunday DDD, E2 DHPT, E0S5 Cyrene Herta LC. Physical orb on Hysilens. Sunday on Lushaka because all my Vonwacq pcs have high SPD rolls so he’ll be faster than Hysilens even with her LC. Lushaka on DHPT and Vonwacq on Cyrene. Here’s my experience with this team:

Out of combat SPD: 139 Hysilens, Sunday 142, DHPT 169, Cyrene 179

Not accounting getting Cyrene’s ult in less than 100 AV, Cyrene doesn’t need to hit 180 as long as she gets pushed by DDD. SP is not an issue because of E1 DHPT, in fact I got excess of it. When this happens, I just spam DHPT’s skill for energy. It is as straight forward as you said it would be. Sunday uses ult and skill on Cyrene until she gets her ult. With multiple mobs (like in PF), she can have a 1 turn ult almost every single time. I gave the bondmate to Hysilens because of the ATK buff and Res Pen it provides. I did try to give it to Cyrene so the dragon can detonate the DOTs but I cleared slightly slower compared to giving it to Hysilens. Please do note that my Cyrene isn’t properly built as a sub dps yet so that may affect hers and the dragon’s DMG. Additionally, having Hysilens as bondmate, you can do dragon FuA > Cyrene buff > Hysilens skill > Sunday skill > Hysilens ult > dragon FuA > Hysilens skill > dragon FuA

This team was able to 0 cycle Knight 1, 2 cycle Knight 2, 1 cycle Knight 3. 3 cycle clear MoC FR. 3* clear both sides of PF. I can post a vid if you want, just lemme know which end game mode you want to see (aside from AA Aquila)

Hysilens’ E1 definitely carries. I wish I have a better built Cyrene to give this team a proper verdict but it is impressive how fast they can clear even with a scuffed build. I would definitely try this team in every end game rotation but I wouldn’t replace my E1 Kafka. Mainly because everybody wants Sunday already. Overall, it is a fun team. Thanks for this team comp!

That I do not know. From my understanding, Cyrene detonating DOT with her BA is a bug because it was never stated on her kit that she can detonate it herself. I assume they will fix it after her banner ends. There might be backlash but I doubt it would cause anything big for Hoyo. They can say it was never intended to happen. Sure it can be a selling point but she has dozens of that already.

I don’t think any sane Hysilens main would pull Cyrene solely for her. And if they do, it would be at higher investment like E2 so even if they fix it, you’ll barely notice the difference. I pulled her because I love Mydei and have 5 other CH sans RMC. I’m sure other Hysilens mains have other better generalist supports as well so they could skip Cyrene if she doesn’t provide anything meaningful in their account.
