The 3.6-3.7 meta brings Remembrance path dominance with Castorice, Phainon, and Evernight leading the charge. Castorice can pull off 1-cycle Memory of Chaos clears with premium setups, while Phainon offers incredible F2P-friendly versatility averaging 6.5 cycles at E0. Evernight shines as an Ice Remembrance hybrid support, scaling from Max HP with memosprite synergies. Key strategies revolve around HP-scaling mechanics, summon buffs, and hitting those crucial 134 SPD breakpoints.
HSR 3.6-3.7 Meta Overview: The Rise of Castorice and Phainon
Meta Shift Analysis
Honestly? Version 3.6-3.7 feels like a complete game-changer. We're seeing a fundamental shift toward Remembrance path dominance that's reshaping how we think about team building entirely.
Memory of Chaos 2025 (October 27 - December 8, 2025) is all about summon-focused Turbulence effects. We're talking 40% damage boosts to memosprites and up to 2 True Damage instances per cycle. That's... substantial. Evernight drops September 23, 2025, so mark your calendars.
The tier restructuring puts SS/S-Tier DPS in a pretty interesting spot: Evernight (Ice Remembrance with E1 optimization), Castorice (Quantum Remembrance requiring E2 for peak performance), and Phainon (Physical Destruction viable at E0). These rankings assume level 80 characters with max traces, signature Light Cones, and optimal 5-star relics across Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction.
Here's what caught my attention from the player data—24,691 Memory of Chaos participants revealed some fascinating patterns. Castorice achieving 1-cycle clears in optimal setups? That's impressive. Acheron averaging 8.78 cycles with 95.99% using Along the Passing Shore shows she's still relevant. Firefly maintains 5.5 cycles with Super Break mechanics, while Phainon delivers consistent 6.5 cycles at E0.
