How Strong is Yinlin?
| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
• As long as you can effectively use Yinlin's marking mechanic, she deals a great amount of AoE damage on and off the field. • Outro Skill provides an increase in Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG. This makes her a great Sub-DPS for units that scale off these DMG types. |
|||
| Weaknesses | |||
|
• She is limited to Electro-based teams if you truly want to maximize her Outro Skill's effect. • While she can work as the team's Main DPS, her damage is lower compared to other top tier DPS units. |
Yinlin is the premier Electro Sub-DPS unit known for her good off-field damage and buffing towards Electro units. She can be quite good at buffing Resonance Liberation DMG, but not many units really scale off it as of 2.6.
Her main value is being Xiangli Yao and Calcharo's dedicated Sub-DPS unit, although she can be viable in teams with Augusta.

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 maximize her potential by equipping her with Moonlit Cloud to help her cast Resonance Liberation more often, while providing additional buffs to the main DPS.
For her Echoes, Yinlin's main and substats should still include CRIT and ATK% but you'd also need to have a pretty good mix of Energy Regen in there so her burst uptime is not sacrificed.
Yinlin Best Echo Sets
Optimal Main Echo
| Main Echo | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Impermanence Heron
|
・Currently best-in-slot for Yinlin. ・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. |
 Nightmare: Tempest Mephis
 
|
・Increases the Coordinated Attack DMG of Yinlin by a lot while buffing her Electro DMG and Resonance Skill DMG. ・Great for Yinlin as an Electro DPS or Sub-DPS. |
 Tempest Mephis
|
・Viable for a DPS Yinlin with Void Thunder. ・Requires Echo Skill to be casted before Yinlin gets buffs. ・Use this before Rinascita, and then replace with her recommended set and Echo. |
Yinlin Best Sonata Effects
| Echo Set | Rating |
|---|---|
|
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
★★★ - Best Moonlit Clouds is currently the best Echo set for Yinlin as her Sub-DPS role will mainly focus on providing aid to the main DPS through the buffs provided by the set and Impermanence Heron. While it lessens her own damage output, the utility it provides far outweigh the cons of using this set. Recommended Main Echo: |
|
Empyrean Anthem
(5-pc) |
★★☆ - 2nd Best Empyrean Anthem is an option for Yinlin as it provides buffs to both the active Resonator and herself through her Critical Coordinated Attacks. This falls short as a set, however, as Yinlin cannot provide a consistent source of Coordinated Attacks due to them being reliant on her marks to trigger. Recommended Main Echo: |
|
Void Thunder
(5-pc) |
★☆☆ - 3rd Best If you're missing a DPS unit and only have Yinlin, Void Thunder is going to be your go-to Sonata Effect. We have set the Nightmare version of the Tempest Mephis as the best in slot, but for early game you can run the normal version of this echo. Recommended Main Echo: |

Yinlin 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 you do not have Stringmaster, any Rectifier that provides CRIT, ATK, or even Energy Regen stats will do.
Yinlin Best Free-to-Play (F2P) Weapon
| Weapon | Skill |
|---|---|
|
Fusion Accretion
|
Base ATK: 462 ATK +18.2% Intergalactic Gaze: Casting the Resonance Skill grants 6 Resonance Energy and increases ATK by 10% lasting for 16s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s. |
As a 4-star weapon, Fusion Accretion is Yinlin's best F2P option. Being more accessible than 5-star counterparts, players may potentially get higher Syntony levels of the weapon.
Yinlin highly benefits from the Weapon Skill as she gets additional ATK and Resonance Energy, helping her in team rotations and damage potential.
Yinlin Best Teams
Xiangli Yao Electro Premium Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Xiangli Yao
(Main DPS) |
Void Thunder
(5-pc) |
|
Yinlin
(Sub-DPS) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
 Shorekeeper
(Support) |
 Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Calcharo | Main-DPS Replacement A great replacement as the Electro DPS of your team if you do not have Xiangli Yao. |
 Verina | Support Replacement Verina's healing and Damage Deepen buff from her Outro Skill makes her a viable replacement when you don't have Shorekeeper. |
 Youhu | Support Replacement Youhu is a support-healer hybrid that can take the support role in this team. She buffs coordinated attacks which Yinlin will appreciate greatly. |
Xiangli Yao 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.
Shorekeeper can provide the much needed healing for the team. Her Stellarealm can increase your team's damage. She can also provide an extra All-Type DMG Deepen on top of Yinlin's Electro DMG boost.
General Rotation
| 1 | Open with Shorekeeper, and use her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill to generate Flare Star and Dim Star Butterflies. Build up her Resonance energy and Concerto Energy as well. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Use Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation. With max Concerto Energy, swap to Yinlin to trigger her Intro Skill and start building up her Concerto Energy and Forte Circuit bars. |
| 3 | Apply Sinner's Mark onto enemies and cast Resonance Skill to deal extra damage. Once up, cast her Resonance Liberation to deal good damage against enemiest. |
| 4 | Lastly, use Heavy Attack once her Forte Circuit is full to consume all Judgement Points and deal significant damage against enemies. This will also convert all Sinner's Marks into Punishment Marks. |
| 5 | Once her Concerto Gauge is full, switch to Xiangli Yao to trigger her Outro Skill, providing Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG amplification to the next Resonator. |
| 6 | Use Xiangli Yao's Ultimate as soon as you can and start beating down on the enemies with his optimal damage rotations. Yinlin will provide off-field Coordinated Attacks to all marked enemies. |
| 7 | Once his Ult ends and you have exhausted all Hypercubes, swap back to Shorekeeper with max Concerto Energy to detonate her Stellarealm. Repeat the steps until all enemies are felled. |
Augusta Electro DPS Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Augusta
(Main DPS) |
 Crown of Valor
(3-pc) Void Thunder
(2-pc) |
|
Yinlin
(Sub-DPS) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
|
Shorekeeper
(Support) |
Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
Yinlin is the only character that has Electro DMG Amplification in her kit. This makes her quite viable as a sub-DPS for Augusta, a premier Electro DPS, boosting her DMG output pretty well. The pair's synergy is also improved further by Shorekeeper as the support.
Shorekeeper is the best support unit due to her high general DMG buffs that are easily accessible to a majority of the characters. She also provides a lot of sustain in her kit, especially with her Liberation having a high up-time.
General Rotation
| 1 | Begin combat with Shorekeeper and go through her combos to build up her Concerto and Resonance gauges. Then, activate Stellarealm once available and switch out to Yinlin with her Intro. |
|---|---|
| 2 | With Yinlin on-field, immediately cast Resonance Liberation and apply Sinner's Mark stacks. |
| 3 | Then, use Resonance Skill to hit all enemies with Sinner's Mark. Continue applying Sinner's Mark with Basic Attacks and build up her Forte gauge. |
| 4 | When her Forte is full, cast Heavy Attack to convert all stacks into Punishment Marks. Afterwards, switch to Augusta when her Intro is available. |
| 5 | As Augusta, perform Prowess-enhanced Heavy Attacks and then follow it up with Echo Skill. |
| 6 | Then, cast her Resonance Skill and Liberation to fill her Ascendancy stacks. Next, perform her 3-attack Resonance Skill combo to get 1 Majesty stack. |
| 7 | Once she has 2 Majesty stacks, activate her second Resonance Liberation and enter Sworn Allegiance. |
| 8 | During Sworn Allegiance, time is stopped for 7 seconds. Within this period, attack 9 times with Sunborne slashes and cast Everbright Protector afterwards. |
| 9 | Once available, switch to Shorekeeper via her Intro Skill to detonate Stellarealm. |
| 10 | Repeat until all enemies are defeated. |
Yinlin Coordinated Attack DPS Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Jinhsi
(Main DPS) |
 Celestial Light
(5-pc) |
|
Yinlin
(Sub-DPS) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
|
Shorekeeper
(Support) |
Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Verina | Support Replacement Verina's healing and Damage Deepen buff from her Outro Skill, alongside more Coordinated Attacks, makes her a viable support replacement. |
| Youhu | Support Replacement Youhu is a support-healer hybrid that can take the support role in this team. She buffs coordinated attacks which Yinlin will appreciate greatly. |
Yinlin's Punishment Marks count as Coordinated Attacks, so she can help stack Jinhsi's Incandescence. Yinlin's Outro Skill can buff Jinhsi's Resonance Liberation DMG.
Shorekeeper will buff both of the DPS Resonators with her Stellarealm, while also healing them to keep them safe.
General Rotation
| 1 | Begin the battle with the Shorekeeper. Charge her Resonance Liberation, as well as Concerto Energy. Use her Stellarealm as soon as possible, and switch to Yinlin when her Intro Skill is available. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Have Yinlin enter combat and apply Sinner's Marks to all enemies as soon as you can, then turn them into Punishment Marks with her Forte Circuit. Fill up her Concerto Energy as fast as possible too. |
| 3 | Once Concerto Energy is fully charged, switch to Jinhsi. WIth Shorekeeper's Stellarealm at max level, as well as Yinlin's Coordinated Attacks with her Marks, go all out with Jinhsi's combos to maximize damage. |
| 4 | Use Overflowing Radiance right away, a variation of Jinhsi's Resonance Skill, and then follow it up with another Resonance Skill. Execute Jinhsi's Basic Attack combo until you reach Basic Attack 4, then, use the final variation of her Resonance Skill, Illuminous Epiphany, to gain Unison. Finally, swap out to Yinlin. Note that Jinhsi will not consume Concerto Energy since Unison acts as its substitute. |
| 5 | Swap back to the Shorekeeper to detonate her Stellarealm with an Enhanced Intro Skill. |
| 6 | Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled. |
Yinlin Free-to-Play Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Rover (Havoc)
(Main DPS) |
 Havoc Eclipse
(5-pc) |
|
Yinlin
(Sub-DPS) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
 Baizhi
(Support) |
Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
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.
General Rotation
| 1 | Use Yinlin until she can activate all of her abilities and perform her full combo. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Perform Yinlin's full damage combo and swap to Rover. |
| 3 | Activate Rover's Dark Surge state and go to town on the enemies. |
| 4 | Once Yinlin's abilities are off cooldown, swap back to her and repeat until all enemies are defeated. |
| Low HP | Swap to Baizhi and use all of her healing abilities until you're comfortable swapping back to your DPS characters. |
How to Play Yinlin
| Yinlin Gameplay Guide |
|---|
|
|
Yinlin Gameplay Loop Summary
| ① | Open with her Intro Skill to immediately apply Sinner's Mark to enemies. |
|---|---|
| ② | Cast her Resonance Liberation if available to deal damage and apply more stacks of Sinner's Mark. |
| ③ | Use Resonance Skill to hit all enemies with Sinner's Mark. Add more Sinner's Marks with Basic Attacks and build up her Forte Circuit in the process. |
| ④ | When her Forte Circuit is full, cast Heavy Attack to deal damage and convert all stacks into Punishment Marks. |
| ⑤ | Immediately switch out to another Resonator when her Concerto Energy is full and her Punishment Marks are active. |
| ⑥ | When off-field, Yinlin provides Coordinated Attacks against enemies inflicted with Punishment Mark. |
Apply Sinner's Marks on Enemies
| Attacks That Apply Sinner's Marks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | Resonance Liberation | Intro Skill |
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
| Combo |
|---|
| BA (All Enemies) → Res. Skill (if Available) → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → Repeat |
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
| Thundering / Tempest Mephis Combo |
|---|
| Intro Skill → Echo Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Outro Skill |
| Impermanence Heron Combo |
| Intro Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → Echo Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Outro Skill |
| Nightmare Echo Combo |
| Intro Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Echo Skill → Outro Skill |
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.
If you're using the Nightmare versions of the Mephis, you do not need to use the echoes to get the buffs. This way, you can use them whenever there's an opening and it is off cooldown.

Yinlin Skill Priority and Forte List
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | ★★☆☆☆ | While you will be using her Basic Attack during her rotation, the bulk of her damage comes from her Forte Circuit and other abilities. This should be the last Resonance Attribute that you want to upgrade. |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★★☆ | Upgrading Yinlin's Resonance Skill will increase the damage of her normal Resonance Skill and also the ones available in Execution Mode. This should be a high-priority upgrade since you will be using her Resonance Skill more than once in her rotation. |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★★ | Upgrading Yinlin's Forte Circuit increases the damage of her enhanced Heavy Attack. More importantly, it improves the damage of Judgement Strike, the AoE ability that damages all enemies with a Punishment Mark. Hence, Yinlin's Forte Circuit is her most important Resonance Attribute. |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★☆ | Yinlin deals a great amount of AoE damage when using her ulltimate and upgrading it will further improve its damage. So, this Resonance Attribute is also considered a high-priority upgrade. |
| Intro Skill | ★★★☆☆ | Yinlin's Intro Skill provides some AoE damage when switching in. Not a high-priority upgrade for Yinlin. So, upgrade this Resonance Attribute after her more important abilities. |
Yinlin's damage mostly comes from the coordinated attacks produced by her Sinner's Marks. For this reason, always focus on upgrading her Forte Circuit above all else. Afterwards, you can equally upgrade both her Resonance Skill and Liberation to amp up her damage even more whenever she's on the fiield.

Yinlin Resonance Chain
Recommended Sequence Nodes
| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| S1 | ★★★☆☆ - Good While it may not be the best upgrade she can get, Yinlin's Resonance Ability is still a crucial part of her damage rotation, making this a nice upgrade to have. |
| S2 | ★★★★☆ - Great This is a great upgrade to unlock since it will help Yinlin charge up her Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation faster, improving her overall capabilities as a Sub-DPS. |
| S3 | ★★★★☆ - Great Since Yinlin's kit heavily revolves around her Forte Circuit, having the damage of her Judgement Strikes is a great upgrade to get. |
| S4 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Her 4th Resonance Chain upgrade is amazing since it's basically a slightly worse version of Moonlit Clouds' 5 pc. bonus. This means you're free to run a more Offensive set without having to worry about losing out on Moonlit's set bonus. |
| S5 | ★★☆☆☆ - Okay This upgrade is okay since it helps increase her Ult's damage. The only issue is that if you don't spend time Basic Attacking every enemy, you'll lose out on the value that this upgrade gives. |
| S6 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Yinlin's Resonance Chain capstone is amazing since your standard damage rotation will have you using your enhanced Basic Attacks after your Ultimate anyways. This also heavily increases her burst damage, meaning your Main DPS can put in less work to kill off enemies. |
All Sequence Node Effects
| S1 | Morality's Crossroads Resonance Skill magnetic Roar and Lightning Execution deals 70% more damage. |
|---|---|
| S2 | Ensnarled by Rapport Resonance Skill Electromagnetic Blast recovers an additional 5 “Judgement Point(s)” and 5 Resonance Energy on hit. |
| S3 | Unyielding Verdict Forte Circuit Judgement Strike's DMG multiplier is increased by 55%. |
| S4 | Steadfast Conviction When Forte Circuit Judgement Strike hits a target, the ATK of all team members is increased by 20% for 12s. |
| S5 | Resounding Will Resonance Liberation Thundering Wrath deals 100% extra damage to targets with Forte Circuit's Sinner's Mark or Punishment Mark. |
| S6 | Pursuit of Justice In the first 30s after casting Resonance Liberation Thundering Wrath, when Yinlin's Basic Attack hits a target, Furious Thunder will be triggered, dealing Electro DMG equal to 419.59% of Yinlin's ATK. Every Basic Attack hit can trigger Furious Thunder 1 time, up to 4 times. This is considered Resonance Skill DMG. |
