Spirit Blossom Evelynn
View on Wiki
Good (6/10)
High Investment Required
Epic Relics
Spirit Blossom Evelynn provides a unique and enjoyable gameplay loop centered on unit theft, but faces significant scaling issues in high-difficulty content. Her performance is highly dependent on specific relic synergies, often making her feel slower or less consistent than other Spirit Blossom counterparts. While her mechanics are innovative, the high investment required to address her defensive weaknesses and slow level-up condition limits her overall effectiveness.
Formidable Stat-Check
Converts Evelynn's high Health pool into offensive Power, allowing her to stat-check most encounters.
Provides a crucial additional starting mana gem when paired with Luminous Orb to reach Titanic stats.
Grants the necessary Health and Sharpsight to activate Starforged Gauntlets and improve Formidable strikes.
Strategy
This is the most consistent build for high-difficulty adventures. By combining Strength of Stone with the Spirit Armor rune, every unit gains a massive stat boost (+0|+4), which translates directly into Power via Formidable. This setup bypasses the need for traditional Power buffs and allows Evelynn to dominate the board early. The additional mana from Starforged Gauntlets is essential for maintaining tempo against aggressive AI decks.
Control and Siphon
Passively drains enemy Health every round, making it easier to charm units.
Doubles the Health gained from her champion spell, rapidly scaling her into a massive threat.
Reduces the cost of her champion spell and ensures she is always available to be played.
Strategy
This build focuses on Evelynn's unique stealing mechanic and spell synergy. Using either the Spirit Armor rune for survivability or the Irresistible Charms rune to improve control, you can cycle champion spells to drain the enemy board while inflating Evelynn's Health. Secret Technique is vital here, as it turns her Health-stealing spell into an exponential growth engine. This build is effective for players who prefer a spell-centric control style over raw unit combat.
Rare Relic Economy
Provides a consistent source of her champion spell every round to maintain board control.- Increases her survivability and allows her to safely challenge and charm stronger followers.
Ensures you have the spell mana required to cast her Focus-speed charm spells and champion spells every turn.
Strategy
For players without access to premium Epic relics, this build emphasizes spell spam and defensive utility. The Spirit Armor rune is recommended to provide a baseline Health buffer. The goal is to use The Grand General's Counterplan to consistently siphon enemy stats while using your Focus spells to disable key threats. This build is slower than Epic-tier setups but offers high reliability in mid-range adventures.
Other Relic Options
Summons a second Evelynn copy to double the Health-drain effects on the enemy board.
Provides Overwhelm to the entire board, which is necessary for closing games since her Level 2 Impact is often insufficient.
Allows Evelynn to consume stolen units for permanent stats, though it can conflict with her removal-from-combat mechanic.
Avoid using Spectral Scissors on Evelynn, as her unique 'remove from combat' mechanic activates before the relic can trigger its duplication effect, resulting in a wasted slot.
Constellation
Evelynn's constellation focuses heavily on Health scaling and unit theft utility. While her base kit is unique, she requires specific nodes to overcome a lack of built-in champion control and a slow Level Up condition.
Be Mine
When an ally strikes, create a Beckoning Gaze in hand, or reduce its cost by 1 if you already have one.
Temptation
+1 Starting Mana. Stolen allies have +2|+0.
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.
Bathe in Blood
When an ally dies, grant allies in hand +0|+1.Review
This upgrade provides a marginal increase to unit durability (+0|+1). While not transformative, it marginally improves her ability to charm targets with 1 additional Health, though it is often considered the least impactful of the Spirit Blossom 4-star powers.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
The additional starting mana is essential. Evelynn's deck has a heavy mana curve, and starting with 3 mana gems allows her to deploy key followers or her champion spell early enough to prevent being overwhelmed by aggressive AI.
Throes of Passion
When you steal an enemy, give it Overwhelm and double its Power this round.Review
Grants Overwhelm to stolen units and doubles their Power. This is a significant finisher that addresses her primary weakness: the inability to close games quickly. It effectively renders her Level 2 Impact bonus redundant by providing a much more powerful offensive keyword.
Gameplay Tips
- Prioritize Higher Health
Evelynn's charm mechanic requires her to have more Health than the unit she is challenging. Always prioritize Health buffs in shops and during drafting to ensure she can steal the most dangerous threats on the board.
- Manage Board Space
Stolen units occupy board slots and are often rendered Ephemeral. Be cautious of overfilling your board with small tokens, as this can prevent you from playing Evelynn herself or using her Focus-speed charm spells which require an open slot to summon the target.
- Strategic Challenging
Do not feel obligated to challenge with Evelynn every turn. If the enemy has a champion or a unit with significantly higher stats, challenging may result in her death without a successful charm. Use her spells to soften targets or steal followers, and only challenge champions when you have a significant Health lead or defensive relics like Death's Foil.
- Focus on Follower Theft
Evelynn's primary spells and mechanics are restricted to followers. Because she lacks consistent ways to disable enemy champions, look for powers or support champions that provide Stun or Frostbite to mitigate the pressure from enemy hero cards.
- Abuse Siphon Synergy
Her champion spell is one of her strongest tools. When combined with Secret Technique, it becomes a dual-purpose removal and growth tool. Using it on a unit before challenging ensures that target's Health is low enough to be successfully charmed.
