FAQ

How do I get Evernight’s signature Light Cone?

To Evernight’s Stars is available through the Light Cone event banner when Evernight is featured. It’s the best investment for maximizing her potential, but alternatives like Make Farewells More Beautiful work well.

What’s the minimum investment needed for Evernight?

Evernight performs well at E0 with her signature Light Cone and proper relics. However, E2 significantly enhances her standalone DPS capabilities, making it the ideal stopping point for most players.

How does Evernight compare to other Remembrance characters?

Evernight offers superior damage output compared to other Remembrance characters but requires more team investment. She excels in mono Remembrance teams and provides better value for players who own multiple Remembrance characters.

Can Evernight work without Castorice?

Yes! While Castorice is her ideal partner, Evernight can function as a standalone DPS or with other Remembrance characters. Her high performance floor ensures good results even in suboptimal teams.

What’s the best way to generate Memoria quickly?

Use Skill frequently during Darkest Riddle state (14 Memoria per use), pair with HP-draining characters, and ensure multiple memosprites are active for passive generation.
