Evernight, the mysterious 5-star Ice character following the Path of Remembrance, debuted in Version 3.6 and has quickly become one of the most complex yet powerful units in Honkai Star Rail. As the embodiment of March 7th’s forgotten past, Evernight excels at fighting alongside memosprites while providing incredible team-wide CRIT DMG bonuses that scale with the number of Remembrance characters in your party.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about optimizing Evernight’s build, from her signature Light Cone to the perfect team compositions that unleash her true potential. Whether you’re building her as a main DPS or as a memosprite support for characters like Castorice, this guide covers all the essential information you need to maximize her damage output and utility.

Aspect	Priority	Target Value
CRIT Rate	1st	65-70%
CRIT DMG	1st	200%+
HP	2nd	7,000+
SPD	3rd	99 (base)
Path	Remembrance	Ice Element

Character Overview

Evernight represents the pinnacle of Remembrance path characters, combining massive personal damage with unparalleled memosprite support capabilities. Her kit revolves around the unique “Memoria” resource system and her memosprite companion “Evey,” creating a playstyle that rewards careful resource management and team composition planning.

Key Characteristics:

Element: Ice
Path: Remembrance
Rarity: 5-star
Role: Main DPS / Memosprite Support
Release: Version 3.6
Complexity: High

Evernight’s strength lies in her ability to simultaneously deal significant damage while dramatically boosting the effectiveness of other memosprite characters. This dual nature makes her incredibly valuable in dedicated Remembrance teams but also somewhat restrictive in team building flexibility.

Team Composition Guide

Evernight’s team building is quite restrictive due to her Remembrance path requirements, but the results are incredibly powerful when done correctly.

Best Team: Full Remembrance

Evernight + Castorice + Remembrance Trailblazer + Hyacine

This composition represents the absolute peak of Evernight’s potential:

Evernight: Main DPS and memosprite support
Castorice: Secondary Remembrance DPS, benefits massively from Evernight’s buffs
Remembrance Trailblazer: Free-to-play support, additional memosprite
Hyacine: Remembrance sustain, perfect synergy

Synergies:

Maximum Memoria generation from 4 Remembrance characters
65% additional CRIT DMG from A6 Bonus Ability
Perfect energy regeneration loop
Incredible damage amplification

Alternative Team Options

Hypercarry DPS Team:

Evernight + Tribbie + Remembrance Trailblazer + Hyacine
Focuses on maximizing Evernight’s personal damage
Tribbie provides additional damage amplification

Budget/F2P Team:

Evernight + Archer + Remembrance Trailblazer + Lynx/Permansor Terrae
More accessible for free-to-play players
Still maintains good Remembrance synergy

Flexible Team:

Evernight + Any DPS + Remembrance Trailblazer + Any Sustain
Works but loses significant value
Only recommended if you lack specific characters

Advanced Mechanics and Gameplay

Understanding Memoria System

The “Memoria” resource is central to Evernight’s gameplay:

Generation Methods:

Evernight or Evey losing HP (2 Memoria per instance)
Using abilities (varies by ability)
Allied memosprite actions (1 Memoria per action)
A4 Bonus Ability (1 Memoria per memosprite action)

Memoria Effects:

At 16+ Memoria: Evey gains enhanced skill
Enhanced skill deals massive AoE damage
Evey disappears after using enhanced skill
Provides Crowd Control immunity at 16+ Memoria

Darkest Riddle State Management

Evernight’s Ultimate places her in the “Darkest Riddle” state:

Benefits:

30% increased damage taken by all enemies
60% increased damage for Evernight and Evey
Crowd Control immunity
Double Memoria generation from Skill

Management Tips:

State lasts until Evernight’s first turn after running out of Charge
Each Charge consumed by Evey’s enhanced attack
Plan Skill usage to maximize Memoria generation during this state
Time Ultimate to maximize team benefit from vulnerability

Energy Management

Evernight’s high energy Ultimate (240 cost) requires careful management:

Energy Sources:

A4 Bonus: 70 Energy at combat start
Memosprite actions: 5 Energy each
A2 Bonus: Energy regeneration from HP loss
Energy Regen substats

Optimization Tips:

Prioritize Energy Regen on Rope if struggling with uptime
Use memosprite-heavy teams for maximum energy generation
Time Ultimate usage to maximize Darkest Riddle duration

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Insufficient HP Building

Many players focus too much on CRIT stats and neglect HP. Remember:

Minimum 5,000 HP required for ornament effects
Optimal 7,000+ HP for maximum damage
HP directly affects Evey’s damage output

2. Wrong Team Composition

Evernight suffers greatly without proper Remembrance support:

Avoid using without at least 2-3 Remembrance characters
Don’t force her into non-Remembrance teams
Castorice is nearly mandatory for optimal performance

3. Poor Memoria Management

New players often waste Memoria opportunities:

Use Skill frequently for Memoria generation
Plan around enhanced Evey attack timing
Don’t let Memoria cap at 99 without using

4. Energy Neglect

Evernight’s high Ultimate cost requires attention:

Build some Energy Regen if struggling with uptime
Plan team around memosprite actions for energy
Don’t ignore A4 Bonus Energy benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Evernight worth pulling without Castorice?

A: Evernight’s value decreases significantly without Castorice. While she can function as a standalone Ice DPS, she loses much of what makes her special. I’d recommend waiting for Castorice or having other Remembrance characters before investing heavily.

Q: Should I build Evernight as DPS or support?

A: Evernight excels at both roles, but her optimal build depends on your team:

DPS Build: Focus on CRIT DMG, Ice DMG, and personal damage
Support Build: Focus on HP, CRIT Rate, and team utility
Hybrid Build: Balance both stats for flexibility

Q: How important is Evernight’s signature Light Cone?

A: Her signature Light Cone is very valuable but not absolutely mandatory. Good alternatives exist, especially Make Farewells More Beautiful. The signature provides the best overall package but F2P options can work well.

Q: Can Evernight work in non-Remembrance teams?

A: Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. She loses most of her unique advantages and performs significantly worse. If you must use her without Remembrance characters, build her as a pure DPS and expect reduced performance.

Q: What’s the minimum investment for Evernight?

A: For basic functionality:

E0 (base character)
4-piece World-Remaking Deliverer
2-piece Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne
At least 2 other Remembrance characters
5,000+ HP and 65% CRIT Rate

Q: How does Evernight compare to other Ice DPS?

A: Evernight is unique among Ice DPS due to her Remembrance path and memosprite focus. She offers:

Higher team utility than pure DPS
More complex gameplay
Greater potential in Remembrance teams
Lower flexibility in team building

Conclusion

Evernight represents one of the most complex yet rewarding characters in Honkai Star Rail. When built correctly and placed in the right team composition, she offers unparalleled damage output and team utility that can transform your entire account’s power level.

The key to success with Evernight lies in understanding her Memoria system, building around her HP scaling, and committing to a Remembrance-focused team composition. While she requires significant investment and specific team members, the results are absolutely incredible when everything comes together.

Remember that Evernight is a long-term investment character. Her value will only increase as more Remembrance characters are released in future updates, making her an excellent choice for dedicated players planning to stick with the game for the long haul.

Whether you’re a free-to-play player willing to commit to the Remembrance path or a whale looking to maximize your account’s potential, Evernight offers a unique and powerful playstyle that’s unlike anything else in Honkai Star Rail.
