Three Calamities – Passive
Her passive is called the Three Calamities. The 18-year old Shaman hits her targets with three calamities. Once the enemies get hit by her calamities thrice, they get feared, running away from Hyejin. However, there is an internal cooldown. After an enemy is feared, they cannot be feared again for 8 seconds.
Charm of Despair – Q
The Q skill of Hyejin is Charm of Despair. She curses her enemies with the Charm of Despair to cause damage. The movement speed of enemies also gets reduced by 1 second if they are hit with a charm. The cooldown time for this attack ranges from 8 to 20 seconds.
Charm of the Prophecy – W
Hyejin ignites a charm of prophecy under the feet of enemies, causing damage. The casting time for this skill is 0.23 seconds. You need to consider the cooldown time for this skill, which is 10-22 seconds. This attack is her most powerful skill, and it roots down enemies at her target location.
Charm of the Nomad – E
The E skill of Hyejin is the Charm of the Nomad. She activates this skill to cause damage as well as change her location. If she uses this skill again, she teleports herself in the targeted direction, confusing the enemy.
Five Omens – R
Hyejin unleashes five omens that circulate around her with the Five Omens skill. She causes a fair amount of damage if an enemy is hit by any of the five rotating Omens. However, she requires 1 second to summon these omens (her focus time). These omens will move in a circle of 5-meter diameter. The cooldown time for this skill is fairly high, i.e., 60 to 120 seconds.
Rain of Arrows – D (Bow)
The best thing about her weapon skills is that— the cooldown time for her Rain of Arrows is only 15 seconds. It can deal up to 500 damage if the enemy is perfectly situated in the center. Her weapon skill also discloses the hidden enemies around Hyejin.
Caltrops – D (Shuriken)
This Shuriken weapon skill of Hyejin drops several caltrops over a targeted area. Whenever enemies step on to the caltrops, it deals a fair amount of damage. Besides, the movement speed of enemies also reduces once they move from that area.
Skill leveling order
Passive> R> Q> W> E
You should maximize the passive skill of Hyejin as much as you can. Besides her Three Calamities, you can then put your efforts into leveling her ultimate skill. Keeping her E skill at the bottom of your choice is the best option. The reason we suggest keeping her charm of the Nomad attack at the bottom is its cooldown. The cooldown time will not reduce as you level up the E skill of Hyejin. You can use the same leveling priority skills in all the builds mentioned below.

Attack Combos
Use her W skill with the Rain of Arrows:
The best way to cause more damage using the Charm of the Prophecy is to compel enemies to say where they are for a long time. To ensure that, use Rain of Arrows to push the enemy back and cause damage.
Use her Charm of the Nomad with her Ultimate:
The Five Omen attack of Hyejin requires one second to focus initially. So, to compensate for the movement speed reduction, you should use her teleporting skill to avoid any damage. You can initially use her E and then activate her ultimate attack. Move towards the position of your charm while summoning the Five Omens. And once the Omens arrive, make sure that they hit your target.

Teaming up with useful players is essential to winning both duo and squad gameplay. This importance of making the right decisions increases manifolds if you are planning to find suitable players with Hyejin. She has lesser attacking abilities, and her skills are a bit harder to use if you are a new player. So, to assist you in this regard, you should pair with the following Eternal Return: Black Survival characters.
Duo gameplay
Jackie or Magnus is a good match for Duo gameplay:
Hyejin struggles to cope with attacking and hammering players like the above ones. Keeping them on your side, however, will boost your chances of winning duo games. With these players, you can take down any opponents. The attacking ability of Jackie will help you to counter the aggressive nature of characters like Aya. You can also dace the heartening Hart with these players on your side.
Squad gameplay
Squad gameplay is a bit hard to manoeuvre for the Korean teen:
Hyejin has lesser mobility, and also her major attacks require some casting time. So, you may find yourself in the woods if you do not choose the best fit for Hyejin in the group games. The best way to ace all other squads is to team up with Jackie, Aya, Isol, and Emma. Shuriken is also a lethal weapon of Emma. So, most of the time, it would be helpful to stay close to her if you opt for the third mentioned build of Hyejin.
