Evelyn Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Chain Attacks deal a lot of damage. • Her kit can easily group up a lot of small enemies. • Has a lot of built-in CRIT Rate, making her an easy character to build. • Only needs a Stun or Support Agent to activate her Additional Ability, which makes team building a lot more comfortable.

Evelyn Best Teams and Bangboo

Evelyn F2P Team

Evelyn F2P Team			Bangboo
Evelyn Attack	Anby Stun	Nicole Support	Bagboo
Bangboo Alternatives		• Booressure • Avocaboo • Knightboo

For this free-to-play team, you can use the Cunning Hares trio but replace Billy with Evelyn. Use Anby and Nicole to stun and debuff the enemy, respectively.

Evelyn Generalist Team

Evelyn Generalist Team			Bangboo
Evelyn Attack	Lighter Stun	Astra Support	Snap
Bangboo Alternatives		• Cryboo • Rocketboo • Knightboo

As a CRIT DPS, Evelyn is best used in a team with a Stun and Support unit. Astra Yao will be her best teammate since her Ultimate can allow Evelyn to use her Chain Attack via Quick Assist.

Lighter will be Evelyn's best Stun unit since he can increase Evelyn's Fire DMG.

Evelyn Best W-Engines

Recommended Evelyn W-Engines

These W-Engines are rated based on their performance at Update Level 0.

	W-Engine	Effect
1	Heartstring Nocturne	String & Melody CRIT DMG increases by 50%. When the equipper enters combat, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the wearer's Chain Attack and Ultimate DMG to ignore 12.5% of the target's Fire RES. This effect can stack up to 2 times and lasts 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
2	Marcato Desire	Get Everyone Fired Up When an EX Special Attack or Chain Attack hits an enemy, the equipper's ATK increases by 6% for 8s. While the target is under an Attribute Anomaly, this effect is increased by an additional 6%.
3	Cannon Rotor	Oversized Barrel Increases ATK by 7.5%. Landing a critical hit on an enemy will inflict an additional 200% of ATK as DMG. This effect can trigger once every 8s.
4	Steel Cushion	Metal Cat Claws Increases Physical DMG by 20%. The equipper's DMG increases by 25% when attacking the enemy from behind.
5	Street Superstar	Flaming Bars Whenever a squad member launches a Chain Attack, the equipper gains a Charge stack, stacking up to 3 times. Upon activating their own Ultimate, the equipper consumes all Charge stacks, and each stack increases the skill's DMG by 15%.

All W-Engine (Weapon) Guides

Heartstring Nocturne is the Best for Evelyn

Heartstring Nocturne is Evelyn's signature W-Engine. We will update its effects once it has been announced. We recommend using CRIT Rate W-Engines since you need at least 80% for Evelyn's Additional Ability.

Evelyn Best Drive Discs

Best Drive Discs and Set Bonuses

Drive Disc	Rating and Merits
Woodpecker Electro (4-pc) Inferno Metal (2-pc)	★★★ - Best Set! Woodpecker Electro is Evelyn's best set for general use since it provides CRIT Rate and increases her ATK when she does a Basic Attack, Dodge Counter, or EX Special Attack.
Inferno Metal (2-pc) Woodpecker Electro (2-pc) Branch and Blade Song (2-pc)	★★☆ - 2nd Best You can use a mix of Inferno Metal, Woodpecker, and Branch sets to simply increase Evelyn's stats.

Evelyn Skill Priority

Evelyn Skill Priority

Skill	Priority	Explanation
Core Skill	★★★★★	It's important to upgrade Evelyn's Core Skill first to increase the CRIT Rate buff.
Basic Attack	★★★★☆	Upgrade Evelyn's Basic Attacks to increase her Garrote DMG.
Dodge	★★★☆☆	You can save Evelyn's Dodge since you only need it for her Dodge Counter DMG.
Assist	★★★☆☆	Evelyn's Assist should also be upgraded last as it contributes the least DMG.
Special Attack	★★★★☆	Evelyn's Special Attacks will be frequently used in combat, so upgrade this after her Chain Attack.
Chain Attack	★★★★★	Most of Evelyn's DMG will come from her Chain Attack and Ultimate, so prioritize this over the other active skills.

Evelyn's Core Skill and Chain Attack should be prioritized first for the CRIT Rate buff and overall DMG. After those, go for Evelyn's Basic Attacks and Special Attacks to increase her on-field DMG.

While Dodge and Assist contribute the least DMG, they should still be followed up on once everything else is upgraded.

Evelyn Kit

Evelyn Skills and Talent Overview

1. Entangle Enemies with Lunalux Garrote
2. Accumulate Burning Embers
3. Consume Burning Tether Points
4. Use Binding Seal to Your Advantage
5. Enter Dance of the Awakened Fire State

Bind Enemies with Lunalux Garrote

When Evelyn's certain attacks hit enemies, she will entangle them with her Lunalux Garrote, setting them up for Garrote Attacks. These attacks will have Evelyn pull on the tether and immediately close in on them!

Entangling enemies with the Lunalux Garrote will have Evelyn enter the Binding Seal state, which will increase her CRIT Rate throughout its duration!

Accumulate Burning Embers

Whenever Evelyn deals DMG to enemies, she will accumulate Burning Embers. Evelyn will accumulate different amounts of Burning Embers for each attack and she will use these points to enhance certain attacks.

Consume Burning Tether Points

In addition, whenever Evelyn consumes Burning Embers for Garrote attacks, she will gain Burning Tether Points.

When 3 Burning Tether Points have been accumulated, Evelyn will consume them all to replace her Garrote Attack with a Chain Attack, even if enemies are not stunned!

Use Binding Seal to Your Advantage

Whenever an enemy is tethered to Evelyn's Garrote, and she is in the Binding Seal state, she makes an additional attack whenever she switches out, then exits Binding Seal.

This will lead to additional overall DMG for the entire party, even when switching out! The Binding Seal state also bestows various benefits, such as more Fire-infused attacks and additional DMG.

Enter Dance of the Awakened Fire State

Using Evelyn's Ultimate will have her enter the Dance of the Awakened Fire in which she will retain one Burning Tether Point for as long as she is in the state, allowing her to use her Chain Attack more often!
