Cyrene is one of the most anticipated characters arriving in Honkai: Star Rail version 3.7. She is a 5-star Ice unit who walks the Path of Remembrance, and her design blends supportive utility with unique mechanics tied to her Memosprite summon. While her official release may slightly adjust numbers, leaked beta information gives us a strong preview of her materials, kit, and Eidolons.
Character Overview
- Rarity: 5-Star
- Path: The Remembrance
- Element: Ice
- Role: HP-scaling support who enhances allies and deals bonus damage through her Zone mechanic and Memosprite.
Cyrene’s playstyle focuses on generating Recollection points, summoning her Memosprite, and amplifying the entire team’s performance through buffs, additional true damage, and universal utility.
Cyrene Moveset and Playstyle
Basic Attacks
- Look, The Beginning of Hope! – Single-target attack that generates 1 Recollection point and deals Ice DMG based on her Max HP.
- Towards Love and Tomorrow – An enhanced AoE version that generates 3 Recollection points, striking one enemy and then all others. This attack cannot restore Skill Points.
Skill: Bloom, Elysium of Afterlife
Cyrene creates a Zone lasting two turns. While active, every instance of ally damage triggers an additional instance of True Damage (scaled from the original hit). If Cyrene is knocked out, the Zone disappears.
Talent: Wishes, Flow Like Melodies
At battle start or after Cyrene acts, allies gain Future. Consuming Future grants Cyrene Recollection points.
- 24 Recollection points – Cyrene’s Ultimate becomes available.
- 12 points (while in enhanced state) – She can unleash the Ultimate again.
While on the field, she also increases all allies’ damage output.
Ultimate: The Poetry’s, The Promise’s
Cyrene summons her Memosprite, which:
- Immediately takes an extra turn.
- Activates all allies’ Ultimates.
- Puts Cyrene into the Ripples of Past Reverie state, where her only attack is the AoE Basic Attack.
- Increases her and the Memosprite’s Crit Rate.
- Permanently deploys the Zone effect.
This powerful ability can only be used once per battle.
Technique: At West Wind’s End, Eternal Tranquility
Creates a dimension for 30 seconds that increases ally movement speed and applies the Zone upon entering combat.
Bonus Traces
- Pure Child of Remembrance (A2): Memosprites summoned by allies also gain Future.
- Traveler of Time (A4): Starts combat with extra Recollection points depending on team composition.
- The Triad of Causality (A6): At 180+ Speed, boosts all allies’ damage and increases Cyrene and her Memosprite’s Ice RES Pen.
Memosprite Abilities
The Memosprite is central to Cyrene’s kit, offering AoE damage and unique buffs.
- Waltz of Flowers and Arrows: Deals Ice DMG to all enemies.
- This Poem, A Benediction to Life: Buffs a chosen ally; non-Chrysos Heirs gain bonus damage.
- Special “Poem” Buffs: When targeted at Chrysos Heir characters, the Memosprite provides specialized effects (such as advancing actions, restoring Energy, or increasing Crit DMG).
This flexibility makes Cyrene’s Memosprite one of the most versatile support tools in the game.

- 56× Courage-Torn Chest
- 58× Glory-Aspersed Torso

Cyrene Eidolons
Pulling duplicates of Cyrene unlocks her Eidolons, which enhance her Memosprite and overall support value:
- Blank, Where The Poem Begins (E1): Memosprite gains Story points after Ultimate; at 3 points, it takes an extra turn and uses its AoE skill.
- Thirteen Hues of Radiance, Reflecting Tomorrow (E2): Starts battle with bonus Recollection and increases True Damage multiplier when allies are buffed.
- Because of You, As I’ve Written (E3): Increases levels of her Ultimate (+2) and Basic Attack (+1).
- Pen the Next Page, With a Smile (E4): Each use of the Memosprite’s AoE boosts its skill multiplier for that battle.
- Gaze, Fill the Flowers of Yesterday (E5): Increases levels of her Skill and Talent.
- Memories, Turn Into Ripples (E6): First Ultimate advances all allies’ actions by 100%. Later Memosprite triggers boost Resistance Penetration or advance turns further.
Cyrene looks to be a high-impact support who rewards players for careful resource farming and strategic play. Her reliance on HP scaling, Recollection management, and the Memosprite makes her different from other Remembrance characters. For players running Chrysos Heir teams, she could become a near-essential pick.
Farming her Ascension and Trace materials ahead of time will save you energy once she releases in version 3.7, ensuring you can unlock her full potential immediately.
