How Strong is Yinlin?

Yinlin is a strong damage dealer who can function as the team's Sub-DPS or its Main DPS. Her kit allows her to constantly deal damage on and off the field. To truly maximize her Outro Skill, she is only limited to Electro-based teams.

Yinlin's Best Echo Stats

Yinlin is a Sub-DPS who can dish out a lot of damage when on-field. When switched out, Yinlin provides buffs with her Outro Skill and can also deal damage due to her Forte Circuit. As a Sub-DPS, you want to increase her Electro DMG, so Void Thunder is her best Echo set. Yinlin's main and substats should still include CRIT and ATK%. Also, look for Energy Regen substats for a faster ultimate uptime.

Yinlin's Best Echo Sets

Best Main Echo

Main Echo	Explanation
Tempest Mephis	・Increases Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG. ・Really easy to use, and you can get the buffs quicker than Thundering Mephis.
Thundering Mephis	・Increases Liberation DMG and Electro DMG. ・Great for Yinlin, but can take too long to get the buff so most of the time cannot be used.
Impermanence Heron	・Restores Yinlin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. ・Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Yinlin.

Echo Tier List

Yinlin Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set	Rating
Void Thunder (5-pc)	★★★ - Best The 5-piece Void Thunder set is Yinlin's best Echo set as it provides a maximum increase of 40% to her Electro DMG. The Tempest Mephis should be equipped as Yinlin's main Echo due to its Electro DMG Bonus and quick swap capability. Recommended Main Echo: Tempest Mephis
Lingering Tunes (2-pc) Void Thunder (2-pc)	★★☆ - 2nd Best Mixing Lingering Tunes with Void Thunder allows you to get an increase in ATK while maintaining a good amount of Electro DMG Bonus from Void Thunder. Recommended Main Echo: Tempest Mephis
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	★☆☆ - 3rd Best Moonlit Clouds is also a good Echo set for Yinlin if you want to further improve her Outro Skill's buffs. The set also increases her Energy Regen, allowing her to use her ultimate much faster. Recommended Main Echo: Impermanence Heron

List of All Weapons

Yinlin's Best Weapon Explained

Stringmaster is easily Yinlin's best-in-slot weapon as it provides CRIT Rate, a DMG Bonus of all Resonance Attributes, and an ATK boost. It also increases her ATK when off-field, buffing the damage of Judgement Thunder. If do not have Stringmaster, any Rectifier that provides CRIT, ATK, or even Energy Regen stats will do.

Yinlin's Best Free-to-Play (F2P) Weapon

Weapon	Skill
Rectifier of Night	ATK: 26 ATK: 5.40% Valiance: When Intro Skill is cast, increases ATK by 8%, lasting for 10s.

Rectifier of Night is Yinlin's best free-to-play weapon due to its ATK stat increase. You can get this weapon by opening chests scattered all over the map.

Yinlin's Best Teams

Yinlin Double Electro Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Calcharo	Yinlin	Verina

Calcharo is by far the best Main DPS for Yinlin since he makes great use of the Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation Boosts from her Outro Skill. Yinlin also helps make up for Calcharo's lack of consistent AoE with her Judgement Bolts.

Besides that, Verina is used as the standard premier healer that can also provide an extra All-Type DMG Deepen on top of Yinlin's Electro DMG boost.

General Rotation

Yinlin Free-to-Play Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Rover (Havoc)	Yinlin	Baizhi

If you don't have Calcharo, or your other Main DPS characters are used on other teams, you can run a F2P team with Rover (Havoc) as your Main DPS and Baizhi as your support. This will be a more Basic Attack oriented team that makes use of Rover's powerful Dark Surge state.

Alternatively, you could use other strong Single-Target DPS characters, like Chixia or Lingyang, instead of Rover, as well as grouping supports like Yangyang or Jianxin if both healing supports are used on other teams.

How to Play Yinlin

Yinlin Gameplay Guide
Apply Sinner's Marks on the Enemies Convert Sinner's Marks to Punishment Marks Swap Out After Using Her Forte Circuit Use Her Resonance Skill After Applying Sinner's Marks Use Basic Attacks if You Don't Have Ult Sinner's Marks are Semi-Permanent

Apply Sinner's Marks on Enemies

Yinlin's kit heavily revolves around her Sinner's Mark mechanic, so you want to make sure that enemies are always marked before you start dealing damage and performing Yinlin's combos.

Convert Sinner's Marks to Punishment Marks

To convert Sinner's Marks into Punishment Marks, you'll need to use her Forte Circuit. Fill up her Forte Gauge with her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill before holding Heavy Attack to turn the Sinner's Marks into Punishment Marks.

Just remember to apply Sinner's Marks first before using her Forte Circuit since you won't get Punishment Marks otherwise.

Swap Out After Using Her Forte Circuit

As a Sub-DPS, you'll want to make sure you swap Yinlin out once her Punishment Marks are active. She doesn't need to be the active character for the Judgement Strike procs to go off, meaning you can use your Main DPS instead.

This is especially true if she has a Stringmaster equipped since it will further boost her ATK stat once she's off the field.

Use Her Resonance Skill After Applying Sinner's Marks

The second activation of Yinlin's Resonance Skill will hit all targets with a Sinner's Mark applied. Make sure to always use her Resonance Skill after applying a Sinner's Mark on the enemy so that you can maximize its damage output.

Use Basic Attacks if You Don't Have Ult

In case Yinlin doesn't have her Ultimate ready, you'll want to focus on using Basic Attacks against every single enemy to apply Sinner's Marks on them. This way you can still turn them into Punishments Marks with her Forte Circuit, even if you didn't use her Ult first.

Sinner's Marks are Semi-Permanent

Her Sinner's Marks have infinite duration, meaning you can exploit effects that require a Sinner's Marks without having to worry about it disappearing. The only time that the Sinner's Marks will disappear is when Yinlin switches off the field or when she uses her Forte Circuit to turn them into Punishment Marks.

Yinlin Recommended Combos

Basic Forte Circuit Generation Combo

Whenever you're waiting for Yinlin's abilities to come off cooldown, or if you need to generate energy for her Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit, you'll want to perform this combo as much as possible.

Full Damage Rotation Combo

If all enemies die before using your Forte Circuit, reapply Sinner's Marks first since you won't transform anything into Punishment Marks otherwise.

This will be Yinlin's standard full damage combo that's used whenever all of her abilities are available to use. The combo aims to maximize her damage output, as well as her Forte Circuit and Outro Skill timers once she swaps out to the Main DPS of your team.
