Does Evernight need Speed boots?

Generally, no. HP% boots are often better because her summon, Evey, has its own fixed speed. Evernight’s damage scales heavily with HP, so stacking health provides more value than making Evernight herself move slightly faster.

What happens if Evey dies during battle?

If Evey’s HP hits zero, it disappears from the Action Bar. You will lose a significant portion of your DPS until you use a Skill Point on Evernight’s turn to summon Evey back.

Can I play Evernight without other Remembrance characters?

You can, but it is not recommended. Her “Memoria” stacks charge very slowly without allies like Castorice who can actively drain her HP. In a standard team, you are reliant on enemies attacking you to build stacks, which is inconsistent.

Are Evernight's Eidolons worth pulling for?

Yes, her early Eidolons are very strong. E1 is particularly valuable because it significantly boosts Evey’s damage in single-target situations (often by over 50%), while E2 adds massive raw damage increases and smoother rotations.

Does Evernight use a lot of Skill Points?

She is generally Skill Point (SP) efficient but not completely SP positive. You only need to use her Skill to summon Evey or refresh buffs. Once Evey is on the field, Evernight can mostly use her Basic Attack while Evey deals damage automatically.

Evernight Full Character Guide

The release of the Amphoreus expansion has brought one of the most narratively significant characters to Honkai: Star Rail: Evernight. As a 5-star Ice character following the newly established Path of Remembrance, she introduces a complex summon-based playstyle that challenges players to manage health resources and tactical positioning.

This guide goes beyond the basics to explore exactly who Evernight is, how her unique “Memosprite” mechanics function, and how to construct the perfect build to dominate the endgame.

Who is Evernight?

Evernight is a pivotal figure in the Amphoreus storyline, revealed as the “shadow” and darker manifestation of March 7th’s lost memories. While March represents the optimism of the present, Evernight embodies the trauma, secrets, and cold pragmatism of the past. Known in lore as a “Chrysos Heir” and an Emanator of Fuli, she was born from the Remembrance to protect the “candlelight” of March’s future, even if it means acting from the darkness.

She is often accompanied by her Memosprite, “Evey,” a physical manifestation of memory that fights by her side. In the story, she is a guardian willing to destroy memories to ensure the Trailblaze continues, making her one of the most morally complex allies the crew has encountered.

Understanding Evernight’s Kit and Mechanics

Evernight’s gameplay is defined by the “Memosprite” system, a mechanic unique to the Path of Remembrance. She does not fight alone; her kit is entirely centered around summoning and buffing her companion, Evey.

The Memosprite “Evey”: When Evernight uses her Skill, she summons Evey to the battlefield. Evey is not just a visual effect; it is a separate entity on the Action Bar with its own Speed (fixed at a high value, typically around 140-150) and HP pool. Evey takes its own turns, dealing Ice damage to enemies. However, if Evey’s HP drops to zero, it vanishes, forcing Evernight to spend a Skill point to resummon it.
Memoria Stacks: Evernight’s damage output is tied to a stacking mechanic called “Memoria.” She generates these stacks whenever she or Evey loses HP. This creates a high-risk, high-reward loop where taking damage—whether from enemies or ally skills—empowers Evey’s next attack. At max stacks, Evey unleashes a devastating enhanced attack that counts as Ultimate damage.
Ultimate – Darkest Riddle: Activating her Ultimate places Evernight into the “Darkest Riddle” state. In this mode, she becomes immune to Crowd Control debuffs, effectively solving one of the biggest weaknesses of summoners. It also instantly advances Evey’s action forward and applies a unique Vulnerability debuff to enemies, increasing the damage they take from all Remembrance sources.

Best Light Cones: Maximizing Summon Damage

Choosing the right Light Cone is critical because Evernight’s damage formula relies heavily on HP scaling and Summon interactions, which standard Destruction or Hunt cones often lack.

To Evernight’s Stars (Signature 5-Star): This cone is engineered specifically for her kit. It provides a massive 24% HP boost and an unconditional 30% DMG increase for both the wearer and their Memosprite. Its strongest feature is the 20% Defense Ignore applied to the Memosprite’s attacks. Additionally, it offers Energy Regeneration whenever the Memosprite disappears or is defeated, ensuring Evernight can get her Ultimate back online quickly to resummon Evey if things go wrong.
Make Farewells More Beautiful (5-Star Alternative): If you pulled this cone (often associated with other Remembrance nukers), it serves as a fantastic stat stick. It typically offers high Base HP and Crit DMG. While it lacks the specific Defense Ignore for summons found in her signature, it compensates with raw damage buffs that trigger upon HP fluctuation—something Evernight does naturally.
Sweat Now, Cry Less (4-Star F2P): This event or battle-pass cone is the best budget option. It grants a steady DMG increase based on the wearer’s Max HP. Since Evernight builds massive amounts of HP, this cone allows her to double-dip on durability and offense, making it surprisingly competitive with older 5-star cones.

Best Relic Builds: Stats and Sets

Evernight requires specific sets that cater to the Remembrance archetype: high HP, summon damage, and self-drain synergy.

Cavern Relics: World-Remaking Deliverer (4-Piece): This is the definitive set for Remembrance DPS units.
2-Piece: Increases Max HP by 12%.
4-Piece: When the wearer or their summon loses HP, their Critical Damage is increased by 20% for 2 turns, stacking up to 2-3 times. This set bonus is almost permanently active for Evernight, given her constant HP fluctuation mechanics.
Planar Ornaments: Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne (2-Piece): Found in the newest Simulated Universe world, this set is designed for summoners.
Bonus: Increases Max HP by 12%. When a summon is on the field, the wearer’s Critical Damage increases by roughly 24%. Since Evey should be on the field nearly 100% of the time, this is a “free” massive stat boost.
Stat Priority:
Body: Critical Damage (aim for a 1:2 ratio with Rate).
Feet: HP% is often preferred over Speed. Because Evey has fixed Speed and acts independently, Evernight herself does not need to move as often as traditional hypercarries. However, Speed boots are still viable if you want faster Ultimate cycles.
Sphere: Ice DMG Boost or HP%.
Rope: Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR) is crucial for keeping her Ultimate uptime high.

Team Compositions: The Remembrance Meta

Evernight is the cornerstone of the “Mono-Remembrance” or “HP Drain” archetype. She struggles in traditional hypercarry teams (like with Bronya or Tingyun) because those supports don’t interact with her Memosprite or HP mechanics effectively.

The Enabler: Castorice Castorice is essential for unlocking Evernight’s ceiling. Her skill actively drains HP from the entire party (including summons) to buff damage. This mechanic instantly maxes out Evernight’s “Memoria” stacks, allowing Evey to launch enhanced attacks frequently without waiting for enemies to attack you.
The Sustain: Hyacine Hyacine is a Remembrance-path healer who scales off the team’s total HP loss. She provides a unique “Soul Link” effect that distributes damage and heals the party whenever anyone attacks. Crucially, she buffs Max HP for the whole team, which directly translates to more damage for Evernight.
The Flex Spot: Remembrance Trailblazer or Aglaea
Remembrance Trailblazer: A fantastic F2P support who summons a helper rabbit. They provide team-wide energy and Action Advance, helping the slow-moving Evernight take more turns.
Aglaea: Another Remembrance unit that can serve as a sub-DPS/buffer, adding more summons to the field to overwhelm enemies.

Evernight represents a significant evolution in Honkai: Star Rail’s combat design. She is not a character you can simply slot into any team; she demands a dedicated setup focused on the Path of Remembrance. By pairing her with Castorice and equipping her with the World-Remaking Deliverer set, you create a synergy engine where losing health becomes your greatest weapon. Master the dance of summoning Evey and managing your team’s HP, and you will freeze even the toughest bosses in the Amphoreus expanse.
