Firecracker Yaoling Skill Explanation
Start With Scarlet Surprise to Increase Damage of Yanhua Slash
Always start the battle with Scarlet Suprise to increase her critical rate chance and her enhanced melee attack damage next turn while dealing AoE fire damage to the enemies.
Use Firework Finale to Inflict and Increase the Damage of Burn
If you need to inflict Burn on the enemies, you can use Firework Finale instead to add an effect to her enhanced melee attack to inflict a unique Burn. This unique Burn deals more damage than a regular Burn at the end of the turn and can stack up to 4 times.
Activate Orange Blossom Blade to Enhance Her Melee Attack
Every 2nd turn at Awareness 0, you can use Orange Blossom Blade to make her melee attack deal AoE fire damage while activating Fire technicals and enhancing its effects when used. Do note that using this skill will not consume a turn and her Awareness 1 and 6 drastically changes its effects.
Perform Highlight to Increase the Damage of Her Yanhua Slash
You can use her highlight to deal AoE fire damage to the enemy. It also gives her a buff that increases her attack and the damage of her enhanced melee attacks for 2 turns.

Firecracker Yaoling's main source of damage comes from her Orange Blossom Blade's enhanced melee attack therefore it is best to upgrade her skill 3 first to max. Next to prioritize is her skill 1, Scarlet Surprise, which enhances the damage of her enhanced melee attack.
After that, you can level up her Thief Tactics to max so that you can enhance her attack and enhanced melee attack damage. Lastly, Firework Finale is best left at level 8 due to how Scarlet Fire is much better used to deal more damage.

The best mindscape to prioritize for Firecracker Yaoling is to enhance her skill 1, Scarlet Surprise, and skill 3, Orange Blossom Blade, to increase her damage output but these two skills are separated in two nodes therefore, it is best to equally enhance it to max.
After that, you can level the Critical Damage node next to enhance her critical damage then if you have more materials, you can spend it to increase her general stats or attack up.
Best Awarenesses
 Lunar Lanterns★★★★★ |
Sky Lantern Festival ★★★★☆ |
Firecracker Yaoling already performs well in Awareness 0 but increasing it to Awareness 1 enhances the damage of her skills and technicals while increasing the duration of her Orange Blossom Blade so you can use it fore one more turn which increases her damage output.
Her next best Awareness is at level 6 which changes the effects of her skills to be permanently applied to her so that she can use her enhanced melee attacks every turn without needing to re-apply it every few turns.
