The Honkai Star Rail community has been buzzing with excitement since the release of Evernight, one of the most anticipated characters in the game's recent updates. As we move through 2025, this Ice and Remembrance path character has proven to be a game-changer for many team compositions, particularly those featuring other Remembrance units.

Who is Evernight?

Contrary to some misconceptions circulating in the community, Evernight is not March, nor is she March before memory loss. Evernight is her own distinct entity - a wandering spirit of the Time Chrysos Heir from Amphoreus. When The Nameless arrived at Amphoreus, something in March's body was compatible with Evernight's spirit, leading to Evernight taking control of March's body under certain circumstances.

This unique character brings a fascinating duality to the gameplay experience, with a design that some players find edgy yet captivating, despite some comparing it to Acheron's aesthetic.

Evernight's Kit and Abilities

Evernight functions as a DPS-Support hybrid with a focus on empowering Memosprites. Her kit revolves around her memosprite companion, Evey, who becomes an extension of her combat capabilities.

Core Abilities:

• Basic Attack (Time Thence Blurs): Deals Ice DMG to one enemy based on Evernight's Max HP

• Talent (With Me, This Night): Summons memosprite Evey at the start of combat

• Skill (Day Gently Slips): Consumes a portion of Evernight's HP to summon Evey and increase CRIT DMG of all ally memosprites

• Ultimate (O Wakeful World, Goodnight): Summons Evey, deals Ice DMG to all enemies, and enters the "Darkest Riddle" state

What makes Evernight particularly interesting is her "Memoria" mechanic. Each time Evernight or Evey loses HP, they gain CRIT DMG buffs and accumulate "Memoria" stacks. These stacks enable powerful abilities and make Evernight immune to crowd control effects when sufficient stacks are gathered.

Optimal Team Compositions

Evernight shines brightest in teams with other Remembrance characters. Her synergy with Castorice is particularly noteworthy, as Castorice's HP-drain mechanics help Evernight gain more Memoria stacks.

Premium Remembrance Team:

• Evernight + Castorice + Tribbie + Luocha

F2P Friendly Option:

• Evernight + Remembrance Trailblazer + Any CRIT DPS + Gallagher

"When you're running Evernight, you're basically creating a symphony of memosprites on the battlefield," as one top player put it. "The more memosprites you have dancing around, the more powerful everyone becomes."

Performance in Meta

Since her release in September 2025, Evernight has established herself as a top-tier character in the current meta. Players have successfully completed Memory of Chaos 12 with Evernight teams, even without premium characters like Castorice or Hyacine.

When paired with Cyrene, Evernight creates one of the most potent damage combinations in the game, potentially surpassing even Phainon in certain scenarios, particularly in Pure Fiction challenges.

Farming Guide for Evernight Materials

To fully ascend and maximize Evernight's traces, you'll need to gather specific materials:

1. Ice-specific materials

2. Remembrance path materials

3. Specific world boss drops

The grind might seem daunting at first, but trust me, it's worth every bit of resin spent when you see those memosprites tearing through enemies!
