Hysilens Gameplay in Star Rail
She is a Physical Nihility character , who will be bringing in constant Physical damage by stacking multiple status effects. Her unique talent will also apply Bleed, WindShear, Shock, or Burn status whenever an ally hits the foes, this will apply DoTs all over the enemies in just a matter of time.
While these simple status effects may seem weak on their own, when paired with the DoT effects from other ally characters like Kafka or BlackSwan her damage will be multiplied by a massive amount. Hysilens Ultimate is what makes her different from the other Nihility de-buf. When she casts her ultimate she creates a zone where enemies' DEF gets reduced and every DoT will trigger an additional Physical DoT Attack, which can be increased to a max of eight times.

A gift from the unknown depths of the starry sky that emits a refreshingly sweet scent, momentarily stunning you in your steps.
Despite its exquisite packaging, it appears to be hand-made instead of expensive merchandise bought from a store.

On the other hand, her Elemental Skill is AoE type, meaning dealing DoT damage and debuffs on all the enemies who are on the field. Her Technique also comes in handy when the player starts a battle with her on the team, as she will start the battle with two DoTs already placed on the foes. While her Passive ability gives her a huge boost by providing a zone as the battle starts, which also includes self-detonation of the DoTs, and a universal damage buff once the character has reached 120% Effect Hit Rate. With such abilities, she is the built to be the centre piece of the DoT teams.
