Diving into the HSR 3.7-3.8 Meta
Picture this: 3.7 launches November 3, 2025, and Remembrance takes over MoC 11-12 with Castorice, Evernight, and Cyrene leading the charge. We're talking 15% faster clears than 3.6, thanks to those HP-scaling memosprites. Teams amp DMG by 20-30% via Crit DMG and Vulnerability—Castorice paired with Evernight? Sub-1-minute floors, no sweat.
Grab Cyrene in Phase 1 (Nov 5–25, 2025). Test your comps right after launch, and keep an eye on 3.8's Dahlia (December 17, 2025).
Physical Preservation? It's climbing fast with Permansor Terrae's shields propping up Phainon and Feixiao. Dahlia (Fire Nihility) in 3.8 unlocks Super Break without burning Toughness. But 4.0 on January 30, 2026? That could flip everything SP-heavy. Build your T0 now—don't wait.

Top DPS Tier List for 3.7-3.8
T0 gods: Phainon (Physical single-target beast, all about ATK/Crit). Castorice (Quantum Remembrance AoE with RES PEN, pumping 20-30% team boosts). Evernight (Ice/Remembrance Vulnerability shredder). Feixiao (follow-up Ult monster). Anaxa (Wind/Erudition AoE for multi-weakness hell). They crush on ATK/Crit output—benchmark 'em against the Calamity Boss (HP 2,190,498).
T0.5: Acheron (Lightning hypercarry queen). The Herta (Ice AoE debuff specialist). S-tier Firefly Break? She's slamming 300k+ post-break.
Prioritize Phainon/Castorice in Phase 2 (Nov 25–Dec 16, 2025). (Editor's take: Phainon's my go-to for single-target; feels unbreakable in practice.)
Team Comps Crushing MoC & Pure Fiction
Remembrance MoC dominance: Castorice (main DPS), Evernight (hybrid support), Cyrene (+50% CRIT Rate memosprite), Hyacine (E2 AoE heal/cleanse). Cycle it right—Debuff. Buff. Burst. Sub-1-min clears.
Physical squads: Phainon/Feixiao + Sunday/Robin (DMG buffs, 1-2 extra SP/cycle, 15% faster clears) + Permansor Terrae (ATK-scaling shields). For AoE: Anaxa + The Herta + Tribbie (RES PEN/Vulnerability) + Aventurine (CRIT DMG/FUA boost). Action Advance Physical first; pre-burst AoE weaknesses; Hyacine E6 drops 20% RES PEN.
Pure Fiction post-November 3, 2025? Go debuff-heavy AoE.

Relics, LCs, and Trace Priorities
DPS core: 4pc Pioneer Diver (Phainon shines here), ATK% body, Crit DMG sands. Hammer those Trace damage talents first.
Supports: 2pc Messenger/SP Traversing (Cyrene), SPD/HP boots. Remembrance planar sets? Amphoreus/Eternal Land 2pc (+8% CRIT Rate, +8% ally SPD).
LCs: Match path/element. Never Forget Her Flame juices Dahlia/Firefly with +60-120% Break Effect and SP recovery.
Farm order: Relics > LC > Eidolons. Level Trace damage nodes. Energy Regen on Harmony walks.
Sustains like Hyacine/Permansor Terrae handle shields/heals. Smooth.
F2P vs. Whale Build Paths
F2P warriors: E0 Phainon/Castorice rocking path LCs. Trailblazer Remembrance/Archer (T0.5 AoE carry). SP-neutral Gallagher. Pump relics/Traces over Eidolons.
Whales: E2 Hyacine gates Cyrene; sig LCs add 20-30% DMG; E6 Hyacine for 20% RES PEN; 100% Ult Robin.
Relics first, always. Pull Cyrene even without E2 Hyacine. Test F2P Physical against Remembrance—surprising how close it gets. (Personal note: F2P Phainon cleared my MoC faster than expected.)
4.0 Patch Risks & Smart Pivots
January 30, 2026—4.0 looms. SP Sparkle 'Hanabi' Elation bursts ignore DEF, potentially nerfing Remembrance SP. Hypercarries might eat reward/SP cuts.
Contingencies? Firefly Super Break with Harmony TB/Fugue/Ruan Mei. Rappa/Boothill reruns in 3.8 Phase 1 (Dec 17, 2025–Jan 7, 2026). Stock T0 DPS; watch Dahlia Break; switch to HP-high teams.
Ever wonder if Hoyo will balance SP again? History says yes—but prep anyway.
Your Action Plan Before 4.0
- Farm ATK/Crit relics for Phainon/Castorice.
- Level DPS Traces; snag Cyrene/Hyacine.
- Build Remembrance/Physical teams; MoC test runs.
- Pull smart: 3.7 Phase 1 Cyrene, Phase 2 Phainon.
Remembrance rules through 3.8, pre-January 30, 2026.
