Evelyn Chevalier Skill Priority

Evelyn's Core Skill and Chain Attack should be prioritized first for the CRIT Rate buff and overall DMG. After those, go for Basic Attacks and Special Attacks to increase her on-field DMG. While Dodge and Assist contribute the least DMG, they should still be followed up on once everything else is upgraded.
SkillPriorityExplanation
special_attackspecial attack
Upgraded Special Attacks scale directly with her Chain and Ultimate DMG multipliers, so treat them second after the active core skills. Reactive play prioritizes binding seals and explosive chains.
basic_attackbasic attack
Razor Wire chains through multiple Lunalux Garrotes; boosting her on-field basic attacks boosts initial DPS flow into the party. Garrote - First/Second Form also scales with Burning Embers and grants Burning Tether Points.
dodgedodge
Save Dodge upgrade since you only need it for Dodge Counter DMG — a fallback that triggers a Binding Seal follow-up. Reactive plays favor this skill over assist.
assistassist
Assist upgrades are least impactful on raw DMG output. Quick Assist and Defensive Assist do supportive or conditional work, while Assist Follow-Up can combo into a binding follow-up but still contributes the least standalone damage.
core_skillcore skill
Upgrade Evelyn's Core Skill first to maximize her binding upstart CRIT Rate buff on Binding Seal, which raises chain attack and ultimate dmg in multiple scenarios. This is the keystone for her entire kit.
chain_attackchain attack
Most of Evelyn's overall DMG will come from her Chain Attack and Ultimate, so prioritize Chain Attack (Snare) — it activates the ultimate chain follow-ups and scales with CRIT Rate / Anomaly Mastery. The passive provides Burning Tether Point economies that feed the Garrote multilayered special combos.
