Best Team Compatibility

Main DPS Lineup

Evernight + Cyrene + RMC + Hyacine

Cyrene provides attack damage, speed, energy regeneration, and turn control, perfectly complementing Evernight's damage output.

Hyacine plays a healing role, supplementing the health ratio bonus and ensuring Evernight's skill rotation.

RMC can be replaced with other general-purpose buff units as needed, increasing team flexibility.

Off-DPS Lineup

Castorice + Evernight + RMC + Hyacine

Provides additional off-DPS damage and crowd control, enhancing the team's sustained combat capability.

Evernight's core strength lies in its synergy with the characters in the Recall Route. Through the use of Memory Spirits and team buffs, she achieves high-frequency critical strikes and multi-stage damage output. Without Cyrene, her performance may be limited, so it's recommended to prioritize a complete Recall Route team to maximize her potential.

Conclusion

SP Evernight is a high-potential Ice DPS in the 3.6 version of Collapse Star Railways. Her skill mechanics rely on Memory Spirit synergy and health ratio output, making her suitable for building a Recall Route team with high burst and sustained damage. By judiciously combining her signature light cone, Phantom bonuses, and the Relic Set, she can fully unleash her damage potential. Furthermore, her perfect synergy with Cyrene ensures the perfect balance of damage and control for the team.

Understanding Evernight's skills and build strategies ahead of time will help players effectively develop her from day one, quickly improving their combat effectiveness.
