Is Castorice Worth Pulling?

Castorice is a powerful Remembrance DPS that can summon Netherwing and consume the party's HP to deal high AoE DMG. Castorice is also very free-to-play friendly in terms of team-building since characters such as the Remembrance Trailblazer and Gallagher should be enough for her.

If you don't have a Quantum DPS or a DPS coming from Version 3.0 onwards, Castorice is worth pulling for. Her unique Global Passive is a great bonus to have in your account since it helps you keep your party alive for much longer.

Should I Get Castorice's Light Cone?

While Castorice's teams can be free-to-play friendly, her Light Cone options on the other hand are limited. Make Farewells More Beautiful, Castorice's signature Light Cone, will help her a lot in terms of DPS.

Other viable options include The Flower Remembers or Sweat Now, Cry Less, both Battle Pass-exclusive Light Cones, or high Base HP Light Cones. Unless you have either Battle Pass Light Cone, getting Castorice's Light Cone is a must!

The Poet set is the best relic for Castorice since it increases the CRIT Rate of both her and her Memosprite. Since the Poet set provides a lot of CRIT Rate, use a CRIT DMG Body. Avoid getting SPD stats to keep the Poet set in full effect.

Since Castorice uses the HP stat, her best Planar Ornament will be the Bone Collection set for the increase in CRIT DMG.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
HP% 7000+
CRIT Rate Try to get 100% during combat
CRIT DMG +150%

Getting close to 100% CRIT Rate is the ideal goal on Castorice and should be achievable with the Poet set and CRIT Rate substats.

As for CRIT DMG, you will get a lot of it from the Bone Collection set and ally buffs. 150% CRIT DMG should be enough for Castorice to deal plenty of damage.

Genius of Brilliant Stars Genius of Brilliant Stars x4 ★★★☆☆ - 3rd Best

Do note that the 4pc. effect will not apply to Castorice's Memosprite.

Arcadia of Woven Dreams Arcadia of Woven Dreams ★★★★☆ - 2nd Best
Arcadia of Woven Dreams can be used by Castorice for the DMG buff it provides if there are more than 4 allies in combat (Memosprites included). This works if there are two or more other Remembrance characters in the party.

Relic List & Guide

Castorice's Best Light Cones

All Recommended Light Cones

Light Cone Why We Recommend It
Star Rail - Make Farewells More Beautiful Light Cone Make Farewells More Beautiful ★★★★★ - Best
Make Farewells More Beautiful is Castorice's best-in-slot Light Cone that provides a huge boost in HP and can ignore enemy DEF. This will also advance Castorice in the turn order when her memosprite disappears.
Star Rail - To Evernight To Evernight's Stars ★★★★☆ - Great
While the energy restoration is negligible, To Evernight's Stars increases Castorice's HP and all memosprites in the party can ignore enemy DEF.

As of now, Castorice can only synergize well with four Light Cones in the Remembrance path.

You can use these Light Cones for their high base HP until you get a better-suited Light Cone. Do note that when Castorice equips these Light Cones, the effect will not activate.

Castorice's Eidolons

Recommended Eidolons

Why We Recommend It
E1 ★★★★☆ - Great
Castorice's kit gets a damage increase depending on how much HP the target enemy has.
E2 ★★★★★ - Amazing
Best stopping-point for spenders. Ardent Will offsets Castorice's HP consumption to build up Newbud and she will be in front of the turn order when she summons Netherwing. This synergizes well with Castorice's E1.
E4 ★★☆☆☆ - Okay
Increases the Incoming Healing of the party when Castorice is in the party, which helps generate Newbud faster. This is unnecessary if you have a good enough Sustain unit.
E6 ★★★★★ - Amazing
Netherwing's attacks now have a Quantum RES PEN and can ignore enemy weaknesses.

All Eidolon Resonance Effects

E1 Snowbound Maiden, Memory to Tomb
When the enemy target's current HP is 80%/50% or lower than this unit's Max HP, the DMG dealt with "Boneclaw, Doomdrake's Embrace," "Claw Splits the Veil," "Breath Scorches the Shadow," and "Wings Sweep the Ruins" is 120%/140% of the original DMG.
E2 Crown on Wings of Bloom
After summoning memosprite Netherwing, Castorice gains 2 stack(s) of "Ardent Will." A maximum of 2 stacks of "Ardent Will" can be possessed at any given time, and can be used to offset Netherwing's HP consumption when using Memosprite Skill "Breath Scorches the Shadow" while advancing Castorice's action by 100%. In the next usage of Enhanced Skill, Castorice gains 30% of maximum "Newbud" points.
E3 Pious Pilgrim, Dance in Doom
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10. Memosprite Talent Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.

Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Memosprite Skill Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
E6 Await for Years to Loom
When Castorice or Netherwing deals DMG, increases Quantum RES PEN by 20%. When Netherwing attacks, it can ignore Weakness Type and directly reduce enemy Toughness. When it inflicts Weakness Break, triggers the Quantum Weakness Break effect. Additionally increases the Bounce count for Netherwing's Talent "Wings Sweep the Ruins" by 3 time(s).

Castorice's Trace Priority

Trace Priority & Explanation
Basic Attack ★☆☆☆☆ - Lowest Priority
Castorice's Basic ATK can be skipped since she uses her Skill more.
Skill ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Castorice utilizes a Skill-spam playstyle, so max this one out.
Ultimate ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Upgrading Castorice's Ultimate increases the All-Type RES PEN debuff it provides.
Talent ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Upgrading the Talent increases the DMG buff for Castorice and Netherwing when allies lose HP.

Memosprite Traces

Trace Priority & Explanation
Memosprite Skill ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Netherwing will use their Skill a lot to deal damage, so max this out as soon as you can.
Memosprite Talent ★★★★☆ - High Priority
This increases the Netherwing Explosion DMG, and healing towards the party.

Bonus Abilities

Trace Priority & Explanation
Where The West Wind Dwells ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
This will provide an increase to Netherwing's Memosprite Skill DMG.
Inverted Torch ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Provides an increase to SPD for both Castorice and Netherwing. The SPD boost won't affect the Poet set since it is applied during battle.
Contained Dark Tide ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
This will allow all healing to be converted into HP for Netherwing, which provides him ammo to use for their Memosprite Skill.

Netherwing Protects Allies From Death

Star Rail - Castorice Memosprite Talent 1

Despite your party members suffering from HP consumption, Netherwing can keep your allies from dying from incoming fatal blows.

Summon Netherwing Instantly With Technique

Star Rail - Castorice Technique

When Castorice uses her Technique, she can instantly summon Netherwing at the start of the next battle.

Revive Allies with Castorice

Star Rail - Castorice Revive

Castorice can revive allies from a fatal attack and put them in a temporary state that removes their HP. Revived allies will get their HP back after they get healed or shielded.

This ability is active even if Castorice isn't in the current party. This means that as long as you own Castorice, the revive effect will occur even without her presence.
