Spirit Blossom Evelynn offers a unique and entertaining "theft" playstyle that distinguishes her from her base version. However, she is plagued by significant drawbacks: she struggles heavily against enemy Champions (charming them often reverts them to Level 1), suffers from a slow start without high star investment, and relies on specific Epic relics to function effectively in Nightmare adventures. While her ceiling is high with a full 6-star setup, her floor is quite low.
Immovable Object
  • Strength of Stone icon
    Essential for survivability. It grants Formidable to your summoned units (Husks, Poros), turning them into massive blockers. Crucially, it does not apply to stolen units, allowing them to utilize the Attack doubling from her 6-Star power.
  • Secret Technique icon
    Doubles the stats from her spells. Since her kit revolves on having higher Health than the enemy to Charm them, this ensures she scales fast enough to steal even Nightmare-stat units.
  • Siphoned Sorrow icon
    Her signature relic. Provides consistent Health growth on Summon and Round Start, ensuring she maintains the Health threshold required to Charm enemies.

Strategy

This build focuses on making Evelynn and her board incredibly tanky to meet the 'Health Check' required to Charm enemies. Strength of Stone makes your defensive line unbreakable, while Secret Technique ensures your spells scale your Health out of control.
Phantom Thief
  • Echoing Spirit icon
    Creates copies of her Champion Spell in deck and reduces its cost, allowing for consistent Charmed targets every round.
  • Frozen Tomb icon
    Summons a Frozen Thrall version of Evelynn. This provides a safety net and an extra body to trigger 'On Summon' effects.
  • Siphoned Sorrow icon
    Combined with Frozen Tomb and Echoing Spirit, you can trigger the health drain/gain multiple times, rapidly inflating Evelynn's health.

Strategy

A control-heavy variant that utilizes Echoing Spirit to spam her 1-cost Champion Spell. Frozen Tomb provides a backup Evelynn and extra triggers for Siphoned Sorrow.
Titanic Mana Ramp
  • Starforged Gauntlets icon
    Provides +1 Starting Mana if you meet the Titanic/Level requirements. Vital for tempo if you lack her 5-Star Manaflow.
  • Luminous Orb icon
    Provides +3 Health, instantly activating Starforged Gauntlets and helping meet Charm thresholds.
  • Strength of Stone icon
    Converts that massive Health pool into damage via Formidable.

Strategy

Best for players who have not yet unlocked her 5-Star (Manaflow) power. This build brute-forces the mana curve and stat requirements to stabilize early.
Other Relic Options
  • The Beast Within icon
    A strong alternative if you lack her 6-Star power. Grants Overwhelm to allies, ensuring your stolen units can push damage to the Nexus.
  • Spirit of the Buhru icon
    A solid alternative to Siphoned Sorrow for stats and keywords on 1-cost units, helping with early game stabilization.
  • Spectral Scissors icon
    Generally a trap. Due to Evelynn's mechanics involving swapping and recalling, this relic often fails to trigger or triggers incorrectly.
Constellation
Spirit Blossom Evelynn is heavily gated by her Constellation. Without C3 (Spell Cost Reduction), she is nearly unplayable. C5 (Manaflow) is a massive quality-of-life upgrade that fixes her slow start.
  • Icon for Be Mine

    Be Mine

    When an ally strikes, create a Beckoning Gaze in hand, or reduce its cost by 1 if you already have one.
  • Icon for Temptation

    Temptation

    +1 Starting Mana. Stolen allies have +2|+0.
  • Icon for Be Mine II

    Be Mine II

    When an ally strikes, create a 6 cost Beckoning Gaze in hand, or reduce its cost by 1 if you already have one.
  • Icon for Bathe in Blood

    Bathe in Blood

    When an ally dies, grant allies in hand +0|+1.
    Review
    Provides passive HP buffs to units in hand when allies die. Useful for fodder units like Poros, but not game-changing.
  • Icon for Manaflow

    Manaflow

    Game Start: Get a mana gem.
  • Icon for Throes of Passion

    Throes of Passion

    When you steal an enemy, give it Overwhelm and double its Power this round.
    Review
    Grants Overwhelm and doubles the Power of stolen units. This is her primary win condition in high-tier adventures, allowing her to turn the enemy's stats against them to close out games.
Gameplay Tips
  • Charm Thresholds: Evelynn's primary mechanic requires her Health to be higher than the target's Health. Prioritize relics and spells that buff her Health immediately. If you block with her and lose Health, you may lose the ability to Charm on your turn.
  • Champion Weakness: Be very careful when relying on charming enemy Champions. In many cases, stealing a leveled-up Champion will revert it to Level 1. Furthermore, high-stat Adventure bosses (like Aurelion Sol) often have stats far too high to Charm, or Spellshield, making her kit struggle in those specific matchups.
  • Strength of Stone Synergy: While Strength of Stone gives Formidable to your summoned units, units you steal/charm are not considered summoned. This is actually beneficial with her 6-Star power, as stolen units will use their (doubled) Attack stat, while your own board uses Health to block.
  • Spectral Scissors Warning: Avoid using Spectral Scissors on Evelynn. Because she swaps places or recalls during her attack sequence, the relic often fails to duplicate the unit or apply Ephemeral correctly.
