Evelyn Skills Kit
Evelyn is an S-ranked character from the Stars of Lyra faction. She can trigger Chain Attacks with Basic Attacks and pull one enemy in for focused strikes. After chaining multiple hits or Special Attacks to her main target, she accumulates Burning Embers and Burning Tether Points when dealing damage with skills. The accumulated points can be spent to unleash various skills, dealing heavy Fire DMG to enemies.

Is Evelyn worth Pulling?
Evelyn has the following advantages：
- Strong output capability
Evelyn, as the only 5-star limited Fire-Attack character, has the unique ability to trigger chain attack on her own. Her core skill has strong burst potential, making her highly effective against high-HP bosses. She excels at clearing enemies quickly, and her skill rotation is relatively short.
- Team Synergy Potential
Evelyn pairs well with Lighter, and also synergizes excellently with Astra Yao, offering significant attack bonuses.
- Weapon Requirements
In addition to her exclusive weapon, "Heartstring Nocturne," weapons like Brimstone is also suitable for her.
If you lack a primary Fire-attack character or you have Lighter, Evelyn is worth pulling. And if you want to gain higher Mindscape Cinema level, we command you M1 because Evelyn's 1500 Decibels stat boost perfectly resolves the issue of her slow entry and activation. She can immediately unleash her ultimate ability from the start, not only reducing the pressure during regular battlefield presence but also enabling a faster damage output.
All in all, Evelyn is a high-frequency burst-type main damage dealer, capable of both sustained pressure on the battlefield and rapid burst damage.
