Best Evelyn Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·

Playstyle Overview

Evelyn is a Fire Attack DPS who deals most of her damage through Chain Attacks and her Ultimate. Her attacks build Burning Embers; at 50% or more, hold Basic or Special to perform a Garrote and gain a Burning Tether Point. At 3 points, her next Garrote becomes Chain Attack: Lunalux - Snare, letting her fire Chain Attacks even when the enemy isn't Stunned.

Her Additional Ability (needs a Stun or Support teammate) boosts Chain Attack/Ultimate DMG by 30% and raises their multipliers to 125% once she has 80% CRIT Rate, so that threshold is your top priority. On the downside, her non-signature W-Engine options are underwhelming, and her best teammates (Astra Yao, Lighter) are limited characters.

Best W-Engines

1
Heartstring NocturneS1
Heartstring Nocturne

ATK 713 · CRIT Rate 24%

Clearly the best: plenty of unconditional CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, plus a very consistent stacking effect that lets Chain Attacks and Ultimates ignore up to 25% Fire RES, exactly where Evelyn deals her damage.
String & Melody ›

CRIT DMG increases by 50%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

2
Severed InnocenceS1
Severed Innocence

ATK 713 · CRIT DMG 48%

A functional stat stick: Evelyn uses Special Attacks often outside Stun to build Burning Embers, so she keeps 2 of its 3 stacks. It has no CRIT Rate, so adjust your build to compensate.
Tranquil Blossom ›

CRIT DMG is increased by 30%. When the equipper lands a hit with a Basic Attack, Special Attack, or Aftershock, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's CRIT DMG by an additional 10%, stacking up to 3 times. The effect lasts for 30s, with each stack's duration calculated separately, and can only be triggered once per use of a skill. With all 3 stacks, the equipper's Electric DMG increases by 20%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

3
Cordis GerminaS1
Cordis Germina

ATK 713 · CRIT Rate 24%

Works as a stat stick: Evelyn generates lots of Decibels from Chain Attacks and has an Ultimate in most Stuns, so its DEF ignore pays off. Its CRIT Rate is so high that overcapping is easy, so build carefully.
Sprouting Core ›

Increases CRIT Rate by 15%. When the equipper deals DMG with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's Electric DMG by 12.5% up to 2 stacks. Each stack lasts 40s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

Can trigger once per use of a skill. At 2 stacks, the wearer's Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20% of enemy DEF.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

4
Starlight EngineS5
Starlight Engine

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

The go-to A-Rank choice, beating even the event options when managed well: a sizeable combat ATK bonus, though it needs refreshing with a Quick Assist mid-combo at the right moments.
Knight Plummel ›

Launching an Assist Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 12% for 12s.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

5
Steel CushionS1
Steel Cushion

ATK 684 · CRIT Rate 24%

An S-Rank W-Engine with CRIT Rate, which already makes it decent. Its back-attack DMG bonus suits Evelyn since her EX Special can turn Stunned enemies around, but it demands planning and skill; experienced players can get more out of it than average.
Metal Cat Claws ›

Increases Physical DMG by 20%. The equipper's DMG increases by 25% when attacking the enemy from behind.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

6
Marcato DesireS5
Marcato Desire

ATK 594 · CRIT Rate 20%

An alternative A-Rank: ATK when her EX Special or Chain Attack hits, more if the target is under an Anomaly. Usually behind a well-managed Starlight Engine.
Get Everyone Fired Up ›

When an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack hits an enemy, the equipper's ATK increases by 6% for 8s. While the target is under an Attribute Anomaly, this effect is increased by an additional 6%.

Best Drive Discs

Hormone Punk
4-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Upon entering combat or switching in, its user's ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s.

2
Inferno Metal
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Fire DMG +10%

The highest damage if you can manage its buff timer. Evelyn swaps in and out constantly for her many Chain Attacks, so alignment doesn't need to be perfect, but you still have to track when the buff is up. Pair with 2-piece Inferno Metal (+10% Fire DMG), or Woodpecker Electro if you're short on CRIT Rate.

Puffer Electro
4-pc ›
2-piece:

PEN Ratio +8%

4-piece:

Ultimate DMG increases by 20%. Launching an Ultimate increases the equipper's ATK by 15% for 12s.

2
Inferno Metal
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Fire DMG +10%

Recommended in Dialyn teams: Dialyn guarantees one and often two Ultimates per Stun, so this set's Ultimate and ATK buff covers the entire combo. Without Dialyn it usually falls behind Hormone Punk because the buff comes late.
3
4
Astral Voice
4-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.

2
Inferno Metal
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Fire DMG +10%

With Astra Yao (wearing Moonlight Lullaby), her constant Quick Assists let Evelyn keep this set up almost all the time, as long as you refresh the stacks mid-Stun. Lower ceiling than Hormone Punk but far more forgiving, likely the better choice for most players who own Astra.

Woodpecker Electro
4-pc ›
2-piece:

CRIT Rate +8%

4-piece:

Landing a critical hit on an enemy with a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack increases the equipper's ATK by 9% for 6s. The buff duration for different skills are calculated separately.

2
Inferno Metal
2-pc ›
2-piece:

Fire DMG +10%

A general-purpose set for any team: extra CRIT Rate toward the 80% threshold and ATK when her Basic Attacks, Dodge Counters or EX Specials crit. A 2+2+2 mix of Inferno Metal, Woodpecker Electro and Branch & Blade Song also works purely for stats.

Best Main Stats

  • Disc 4ATK% / CRIT DMG (CRIT Rate if you're short of the 80% threshold)
  • Disc 5PEN Ratio / Fire DMG / ATK%
  • Disc 6ATK%

Best Sub Stats

  1. 1CRIT Rate (up to about 75% on the stat screen)
  2. 2CRIT DMG
  3. 3ATK%
  4. 4PEN
  5. 5Flat ATK

Endgame Stats

ATK
2600 – 3400+
CRIT Rate
80 – 100% (including Core Passive)
CRIT DMG
160 – 200%+
HP
10000+
DEF
800+

Her Additional Ability needs 80% CRIT Rate to raise her Chain Attack/Ultimate multipliers to 125%. Her Core Passive already adds 25% CRIT Rate while she binds a target, so your gear needs at least about 55%; aim for around 75% on the stat screen and put the rest into CRIT DMG and ATK.

Skill Priority

  1. Core Skill
  2. ›Chain Attack
  3. ›Basic Attack
  4. ›Special Attack
  5. ›Assist
  6. ›Dodge

Level her Core Skill first for the CRIT Rate. Chain Attack/Ultimate is her biggest damage source, followed by Basic Attack (her Garrotes) and Special Attack, which she uses constantly. Assist and Dodge come last.

Best Teams for Evelyn

Most Used Teams Right Now

Her most used team in Deadly Assault. Dialyn is a near-perfect match: she raises the Stun DMG Multiplier (where Evelyn deals most of her damage), extends Stuns for more Chain Attacks and converts Chain Attacks into Ultimates, all with very little field time.
The second most used, and Evelyn's only team appearing in Shiyu Defense this cycle. Norma creates extra Chain Attacks, Evelyn's defining strength, making Decibel management easier; Astra Yao turns Quick Assists into Chain Attacks after her Ultimate.

Other Stun and Support Options

Lighter Stuns quickly, lowers Fire RES and greatly boosts the team's Fire DMG, pushing Evelyn's damage very high.
An accessible Stun option: Koleda Dazes very fast, the two unlock each other's Additional Abilities, and Koleda boosts Evelyn's Chain Attack DMG.
Sunna replaces Astra Yao with ATK buffs and healing; rarely used but scoring highly in Deadly Assault.

F2P Team

The Cunning Hares trio with Evelyn replacing Billy: Anby Stuns and Nicole shreds enemy DEF.

Best Bangboo for Evelyn

Snap is the main pick alongside Astra Yao (two Stars of Lyra members): it grants a DMG buff whenever an Agent performs a Dodge Counter, Quick Assist or Assist Follow-Up, which fits a Quick Assist-heavy playstyle. Cryboo, Rocketboo (need 2 Fire Agents) and Knightboo are alternatives.

In the F2P team, Bagboo boosts its Bangboo Chain Attack thanks to the Attack Agent; Booressure, Avocaboo and Knightboo also work.

Skills

Basic Attack: Razor Wire

Press Basic to activate:

Launch up to five attacks ahead, dealing Physical DMG and Fire DMG.

When the 5th hit lands against an enemy, Evelyn will use her Lunalux Garrote to bind the primary target and enter Binding Seal.

Passive: Bind

When Evelyn uses her skills to deal DMG to enemies, she will accumulate Burning Embers.

When Evelyn consumes Burning Embers to activate Garrote or consumes Decibels to perform an Ultimate, she gains 1 Burning Tether Point.

Once Evelyn has 3 Burning Tether Points, her next use of Garrote will consume all Burning Tether Points to instead use a lower Interrupt Level version of Chain Attack: Lunalux - Snare.

Basic Attack: Garrote - First Form

When Burning Embers is at 50% or higher, hold Basic or Special to activate:

Consume 50% Burning Embers to use Lunalux Garrote to perform a slashing attack, dealing Fire DMG.

During skill activation, Anti-Interrupt level increases, and DMG taken is reduced by 40%.

After using this skill, gain 1 Burning Tether Point.

Basic Attack: Garrote - Second Form

When Burning Embers is 50% or higher, after using Basic Attack: Garrote - First Form, continue to hold Basic or Special to activate:

Consume 50% Burning Embers to use Lunalux Garrote to perform a follow-up attack, dealing Fire DMG.

During skill activation, Anti-Interrupt level increases, and DMG taken is reduced by 40%.

After using this skill, gain 1 Burning Tether Point.

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M1 and M4 are both great: M1 lets her enter combat with half her Decibels, and M4 adds a lot of CRIT DMG. M6 is the biggest damage jump. M2 is only good; M3 and M5 only add skill levels.

  • M1
    She enters combat with 1,500 Decibels for an early Ultimate; bound enemies also become Bound, letting Evelyn ignore 12% of their DEF, and Binding Sunder spreads this to every enemy it hits.
  • M2
    A permanent +15% ATK; Burning Embers spent on Garrote are refunded (once every 25s), and the Tether Point Chain Attack gains a higher Interrupt Level.
  • M4
    After a Chain Attack or Ultimate, Evelyn gains a shield worth 10% of her Max HP and +40% CRIT DMG while it lasts, improving both survivability and damage.
  • M6
    After a Chain Attack or Ultimate, her Basic, Dash, Special and EX Special Attacks release extra garrote follow-ups (375% ATK, counted as Chain Attack DMG, up to 16 times), refreshed with each Chain Attack/Ultimate.
M1

DreamweaveRecommended

Upon entering the battlefield, Evelyn immediately gains 1500 Decibels. Enemies affected by Binding Seal will be Bound. When Evelyn attacks Bound enemies, she ignores 12% of their DEF. When Evelyn uses Special Attack: Binding Sunder - First Form or EX Special Attack: Binding Sunder - Final Form, the Bound effect spreads to all enemies hit by the skill. This spread Bound effect lasts for 10s.

The distant, blurred light seemed to be a dream she had crafted, an unreachable future. It wasn't about atonement, but a yearning for freedom.

"You want it too, don't you? A real life." An anonymous former coworker once asked Evelyn.

M2

Dance of FireRecommended

Evelyn's ATK increases by 15%. When Evelyn uses Basic Attack: Garrote - First Form or Basic Attack: Garrote - Second Form, the Burning Embers consumed will be returned. This effect can trigger once every 25s. When Evelyn consumes Burning Tether Point to trigger Chain Attack: Lunalux - Snare, the skill's Interrupt Level increases.

"To me, that light was unfamiliar, something I should have steered clear of, but it broke through every barrier, as though it was trying to remind me that beyond the darkness, there was something worth chasing."

When Evelyn recalls the first time she met Astra Yao, there's a rare softness in her tone.

M3

Metamorphosis

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.

At that moment, she frees herself from her restraints and becomes her truest self.

The tightened ropes snap, and the chains turn into a broken cocoon. Evelyn stands at the boundary of rebirth, and in her cold, sharp gaze, there is the flicker of a faint, soft glow.

M4

Fate's MelodyRecommended

Upon activating a Chain Attack or Ultimate, Evelyn immediately gains a shield equal to 10% of her Max HP. While this shield exists, Evelyn's CRIT DMG increases by 40%.

"You know, Eve? Every time I meet someone important to me, my heart goes 'thump-thump!'"

Evelyn sighs, signaling that it was getting late. Astra quickly fastens the back of her gown and rushed out the door.

"Thump thump," Evelyn mutters to herself, left alone in the dressing room.

M5

Crimson Threads Like the Dawn

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2.

Her threads, dyed crimson like the clouds at dawn.

After each attack, she spins elegantly, blazing flames scattering like the morning light. No words are needed — Evelyn's protection has turned into a radiant flame.

M6

Bond of Light and ShadowRecommended

When activating her Chain Attack or Ultimate, Evelyn gains Shadowstring Edge for 20s. During Shadowstring Edge, when Evelyn hits enemies with a Basic Attack, Dash Attack, Special Attack, or EX Special Attack, an additional Lunalux Garrote will be released for a follow-up attack, dealing Fire DMG equal to 375% of Evelyn's ATK. This DMG is considered Chain Attack DMG and can trigger up to 16 times. The number of triggers will be refreshed each time Shadowstring Edge is gained.

Where there is light, there will always be shadow.

It silently hides, tracing the light's path, guarding each bright burst. The shadow never tries to steal the light's brilliance, but at every turn, it quietly fills those corners the light cannot reach. The two have never been separated, nor can they be — light is whole because of shadow, and shadow exists because of light. It's an eternal pursuit, an unspeakable connection.

Story

Agent Profile: Evelyn

Evelyn is the manager and personal bodyguard of Ridu's most iconic singer, Astra Yao. Known for her calm, decisive decision-making and professional, efficient style, she's an irreplaceable pillar behind Astra. "In terms of commercial value, if Astra Yao represents the 1, then Evelyn is all the 0s that follow," a reporter from an entertainment magazine stated. Evelyn is skilled at planning comprehensive schedules and product endorsements, while also ensuring Astra Yao's safety during any unexpected situations. "Want to get close to Astra Yao? You'll have to get past Evelyn Chevalier first..." Though she's always busy with work, Evelyn never seems overwhelmed, and she has an almost obsessive attention to detail, ensuring that every performance and every product endorsement goes through her strict scrutiny. But strangely, such an exceptional manager is not trusted by her parent company, Odeum HAE. Intel: Evelyn's role seems to go beyond just being a manager and personal bodyguard; there seems to be an "organization" behind her. It seems a lot of people in Astra Yao's central Astranauts group ship them together.

Increase Trust to Close to unlock more

Information about the "organization" Evelyn is affiliated with is scarce. Currently, it is only known that she was brought into the "organization" at a young age, where she underwent harsh training and developed skills to make quick decisions and carry out tasks in any environment. While these experiences have left numerous hidden scars on her, they also gave her remarkable abilities and composure. Consideration: We need to look into what kind of "organization" it actually is.

Hồ Sơ Người Đại Diện: Evelyn Chevalier (Phần 1)

Evelyn là quản lý kiêm vệ sĩ cá nhân của diva hàng đầu Ridu - Astra Yao, cô nổi tiếng với phong cách bình tĩnh quyết đoán và năng lực chuyên nghiệp của mình. Là một trụ cột vững chắc chống đỡ phía sau Astra mà không gì có thể thay thế được, "Nói đến giá trị thương mại, nếu Astra Yao là số 1 đứng đầu, thì Evelyn chính là hàng loạt số 0 đứng phía sau đó." Một phóng viên tạp chí giải trí đã bình luận như vậy.

Vừa có thể lập kế hoạch chu toàn và làm người phát ngôn, lại vừa có thể đảm bảo an toàn cho Astra trong mọi tình huống đột xuất. "Muốn tiếp cận Astra? Phải qua được Evelyn Chevalier trước đã..." Dù công việc có bận rộn đến đâu, thì Evelyn cũng chưa bao giờ tỏ vẻ hoảng loạn. Cô có yêu cầu khá khắt khe với từng chi tiết, dù là mỗi một buổi biểu diễn của Astra, hay là chất lượng của sản phẩm mà Astra đại diện, đều phải được cô kiểm duyệt nghiêm ngặt. Nhưng điều kỳ lạ là, một người quản lý ưu tú như vậy lại không được công ty mẹ là Odeum HAE tín nhiệm.

Tình báo: Thân phận của Evelyn dường như không chỉ đơn giản là quản lý kiêm vệ sĩ cá nhân, đằng sau cô ấy dường như còn có một "tổ chức".

Trong nhóm fan cứng "Astranaut" của Astra, dường như có khá nhiều người đẩy thuyền cho cặp đôi này.

Về "tổ chức" mà Evelyn trực thuộc, tình báo còn khá ít ỏi, hiện tại chỉ biết Evelyn được "tổ chức" thu nhận từ khi còn nhỏ, từng trải qua huấn luyện nghiêm khắc, học được kỹ năng có thể nhanh chóng đưa ra quyết sách và chấp hành nhiệm vụ trong bất kỳ hoàn cảnh nào. Tuy những trải nghiệm này đã để lại không ít thương tích trên người cô ấy, nhưng cũng khiến cô có được bản lĩnh phi thường và một cái đầu lạnh.

Suy nghĩ: Cần phải điều tra xem "tổ chức" này rốt cuộc là gì.

Ghi Chú Hợp Tác

Belle

Evelyn ngầu thật, thật sự không thể cùng trình diễn với Astra sao? Hai người chụp ảnh chung với nhau, thật là muốn xem ghê!

Wise

Thật ngưỡng mộ các cô gái, Belle có thể thoải mái nói ra những điều ước này, chứ anh mà nói chắc bị đánh quá...
