| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
• Deals an insane amount of damage when played correctly. • Resonance Liberation and the ability called Resonance Skill - Law of Reigns can slow down enemy animation, allowing you to deal uninterrupted damage to enemies. |
|||
| Weaknesses | |||
|
• Intuition, the state that Xiangli Yao enters after casting his Resonance Liberation, has a duration of 24 seconds. This means that you have a limited time to consume all of Xiangli Yao's Hypercubes. Failing to do so will reduce his total damage output. • Due to the point mentioned above, a mastery of Xiangli Yao's optimal combos during the Intuition state is needed to really maximize his damage. |
Xiangli Yao is an amazing 5-star Electro DPS that slows down enemy movement and deals a lot of damage to enemies as long as you know how to use him.
However, Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation state, Intuition, has a limited duration. So, you need to use up all of his Hypercubes to maximize his damage. He was previously a free unit during Phase 2 of Version 1.2 during the event called By Moon's Grace.

Xiangli Yao is an Electro Main DPS unit that can enter an enhanced state called Intuition after using his Resonance Liberation. During the Intuition state, his abilities, specifically his Resonance Skill and Normal Attacks will also have stronger variations. Your main goal during the Intuition state is to use Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill - Law of Reigns three times before switching out to another character.
The best type of weapon for Xiangli Yao is a gauntlet that will buff his Resonance Liberation DMG since a lot of Xiangli Yao's abilities are considered Resonance Liberation DMG. With this, Xiangli Yao's ideal teammates should also buff Resonance Liberation DMG.
For stats, always aim for a 1 to 2 ratio for Crit Rate and Crit DMG so it will depend on your weapon, mostly. For Xiangli Yao's 3-cost Echoes, double Electro DMG is optimal. Also, his 1-cost Echoes should both have ATK%. For substats, aim for Crit stats, Energy Regen, ATK, and Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus.
| Main Echo | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Tempest Mephis
|
・Increases Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG. ・ Its ability is easy to use and you can get the buffs quicker than the Thundering Mephis. |
 Thundering Mephis
|
・Increases Liberation DMG and Electro DMG. The buffs it provides are great for Xiangli Yao. ・However, its ability has long attack animations, making the buffs quite hard to get. |
 Flautist
|
・An early game echo for Xiangli Yao, great for just dealing Electro DMG on demand. |
| Echo Set | Rating |
|---|---|
|
Void Thunder
(5-pc) |
★★★ - Best Void Thunder increases Electro DMG Bonus which is amazing for a main DPS like Xiangli Yao. The 5-pc effect also helps Xiangli Yao deal more damage after using his Resonance Skill or even his Heavy ATK. If you do not have a Tempest Mephis, it can be replaced by the Thundering Mephis. Recommended Main Echo: |
|
Void Thunder
(2-pc) Lingering Tunes
(2-pc) |
★★☆ - 2nd Best A good Echo set for Xiangli Yao if you are just starting out and do not have a full 5-pc Void Thunder set yet. The Tempest Mephis can be replaced by the Thundering Mephis or the Flautist, whichever you currently have. Recommended Main Echo: |

| 5 |
 Gauntlets of Night
|
Assemble When Intro Skill is cast, increases ATK by 8%, lasting for 10s. |
Verity's Handle is Xiangli Yao's best in-slot weapon since the effects of the weapon specifically cater to his kit. It vastly increases Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation DMG for several seconds after using his Resonance Liberation. Do note that it is possible to extend the buff's duration as long as you can use Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill before the buff ends.
If you do not have Verity's Handle, we suggest going for Abyss Surges which can increase his ATK, Energy Regen, Resonance Skill DMG Bonus, and also a Basic Attack DMG buff.
| Weapon | Skill |

|
Gauntlets of Night
|
ATK: 26 ATK: 5.4% Assemble: When Intro Skill is cast, increases ATK by 8%, lasting for 10s. |
Gauntlets of Night is Xiangli Yao's best free-to-play weapon due to its ATK buff increase and how easy it is to activate it. Generally, DPS characters like Xiangli Yao will benefit from an ATK stat increase!
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |

|
Xiangli Yao
|
 Yinlin
|
 Shorekeeper
|
Xiangli Yao's premium Electro team includes Yinlin as the sub-DPS and Shorekeeper as the team's healer.
Yinlin's Outro Skill provides Electro DMG and Liberation DMG Bonus which is amazing for Xiangli Yao to increase the damage of his hard hitting abilities. Also, Yinlin inflicts a Punishment Mark on enemies that when attacked will send out a coordinated attack for even more damage.
Shorekeeper is the top choice for a healer-support as she is able to boost all allies' Crit. Rate and Crit. DMG as well as deepen their All-type DMG which is a desirable buff for Xiangli Yao who already has a devastating damage output.
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Verina | Support Replacement Verina is another good sub-in for Shorekeeper as she is able to provide the team with ATK buff and deal off-field Coordinated Attacks. |
 Baizhi | Support Replacement Baizhi is an F2P alternative who can provide a lot of healing if you do not have Verina or Shorekeeper. |
| 1 | Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until it is full. When available, use her Resonance Liberation to enable her Stellarealm which buffs all Resonators' Crit. Rate and Crit. DMG when fully upgraded. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Switch to Yinlin and charge up her Forte using her optimal combos. Once charged, execute a heavy attack to apply a Mark. |
| 3 | Once the Mark is applied, charge up her Concerto Energy and use her Resonance Liberation. Yinlin's Resonance Liberation should hit multiple times that deal coordinated attacks. After using her Ultimate, switch out to Xiangli Yao. Make sure that Concerto Energy is full before you switch in order to upgrade the Stellarealm. |
| 4 | Once Xiangli Yao is in the field, use his optimal combos to fully charge his Resonance Liberation. Then, cast it to slow down enemies and enter the Intuition state. |
| 5 | Once you are in the Intuition state, aim to consume three Hypercubes by casting Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill - Laws of Reigns three times. During this time, try to charge back up to maximum Concerto Energy. |
| 6 | With max Concerto Energy, swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellarealm. Repeat untill all enemies have fallen. |
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|
|
Xiangli Yao
|
 Jianxin
|
Shorekeeper
|
If you do not have Yinlin, then Jianxin is a viable alternative since she can buff Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation DMG using her Outro Skill. She is also more accessible since Jianxin is available for free from the 5-Star Resonator Selector!
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Changli | Sub-DPS Replacement You can replace Jianxin with Changli since she can also buff Resonance Liberation DMG. However, Changli is a character that needs some field time to maximize her damage. |
| 1 | Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up. Use her Resonance Liberation so you can enable her Stellarealm before switching out. |
|---|---|
| 2 | When Concerto Energy is full, switch to Jianxin and use her optimal combos. Once the Concerto Energy is full, switch to Xiangli Yao, he will gain a Resonance Liberation DMG buff due to Jianxin's Outro Skill. |
| 3 | Once Xiangli Yao is in the field, use his optimal combos to charge his Resonance Liberation. Then, cast it to slow down enemies and more importantly, enter the Intuition state. |
| 4 | Once you are in the Intuition state, aim to use Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill - Laws of Reigns three times before the Intuition state ends. After that, swap out to Shorekeeper once the Concerto Energy is full to perform her Intro Skill and detonate the Stellarealm. |
| Main DPS | Sub-DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|
|
Xiangli Yao
|
 Yuanwu
|
Baizhi
|
This team contains characters that you can obtain for free. The team revolves around Xiangli Yao dealing the most damage, Yuanwu consistently using his Resonance Skill to deploy Thunder Wedge, and Baizhi healing the team.
| 1 | Yuanwu enters the battle first to use his Resonance Skill. Then, use his Normal Attacks to charge the Concerto Energy while also making sure that the enemies are inside the Thunder Wedge's range. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Once the Concerto Energy is fully charged, switch to Xiangli Yao. Switching from Yuanwu to Calcharo will weaken the Vibration Strength of enemies upon impact. |
| 3 | Once Xiangli Yao is in the field, use his optimal combos to charge his Resonance Liberation. Then, cast it to slow down enemy movement and enter the Intuition state. |
| 4 | In the Intuition state, aim to consume Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill - Laws of Reigns three times before the Intuition state ends. |
| 5 | Switch to Yuanwu again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged up. If you need healing, switch to Baizhi instead. |
| ① | Use Xiangli Yao's normal attacks and Resonance Skill to fill up his Forte Circuit. his Resonance Skill cooldown resets after the gauge is full. |
|---|---|
| ② | Once filled up, use his Resonance Skill: Decipher. |
| ③ | Activate his Resonance Liberation, if available, to enter his Intuition state |
| ④ | Fill up his Performance Capacity with Normal Attacks and Resonance Skill. |
| ⑤ | Unleash Resonance Skill: Law of Reigns when the Performance Capacity bar is full. Do this for a total of 3 times in his Intuition duration. |
The goal with Xiangli Yao is to stack his Forte Circuit and unleash powerful Resonance Skill attacks both in and out of his enhanced state.
Maintain a loop of dealing Basic Attacks and casting your base Resonance Skill to build his Forte Circuit, keeping in mind that his Resonance Skill's cooldown resets each time . This will maximize his damage output and effectiveness in combat.
Use Xiangli Yao’s Basic Attack combo and his Resonance Skill to stack Capacity and fill his Forte Circuit. Once this is filled up, cast his Resonance Skill: Decipher to deal a large burst of damage.
Xiangli Yao’s primary DPS comes after casting Resonance Liberation. In this enhanced state, he gains three Hypercubes, each allowing him to execute a powerful Resonance Skill when his Performance Capacity is full. To maximize his damage output, make sure to use all Hypercubes within the 24-second duration of his enhanced state.
The fastest way to build Xiangli Yao’s Forte Circuit in his enhanced state is by unleashing his Resonance Skill: Deduction plus Mid-Air Attack. Doing this will charge his Forte Circuit just in time to recast his Resonance Skill: law of Reigns.
Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation has the ability to slow down affected enemies once cast, which becomes effective for an overwhelming group of enemies or a downed overworld boss.
The best way to take advantage of his ability to slow down enemies is to cast his Resonance Liberation while enemies have their Vibration Strength broken. This will allow him to use up all of his Hypercubes uninterrupted and deal the most amount of damage.
| Combo |
|---|
| Resonance Skill: Deduction → Basic Attack x5 → Resonance Skill: Decipher → Mid-Air Attack |
When outside of his Intuition state, the most optimal combo for Xiangli Yao is to first release his Resonance Skill: Deduction, then stack Capacity with Basic Attacks to unlock Resonance Skill: Decipher.
In this combo, the reset for Resonance Skill: Deduction's cooldown aligns perfectly with the final blow of the Mid-Air Attack, allowing him to cast Deduction again immediately afterward. This enables a consistent loop of alternating Resonance Skill damage with Basic Attacks, minimizing downtime and maximizing his overall damage output.
| Combo |
|---|
| Resonance Liberation → Res. Skill: Deduction → Mid-Air Attack → Res. Skill: Law of Reigns → BA x3 → Res. Skill: Law of Reigns → Res. Skill: Deduction → Mid-Air Attack → Res. Skill: Law of Reigns → |
The fastest way to build Xiangli Yao's Forte Circuit during his Intuition state is by using his Resonance Skill: Deduction followed by a Mid-Air Attack to unleash Resonance Skill: Law of Reigns. To manage the cooldown of his Resonance Skill, perform his 3 Basic Attacks to fill up the Forte Circuit and cast Law of Reigns again. Then, loop back into using Resonance Skill: Deduction to quickly rebuild the Forte Circuit for another Law of Reigns activation.
This method ensures you use all 3 Hypercubes within his Intuition state and seamlessly transition into his normal state combo afterward.

| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | ★★☆☆☆ | Prioritize Xiangli Yao’s Normal Attack least, as his main damage output comes from his Resonance Liberation which enhances his Basic Attack, allowing him to deal remarkable damage while in his enhanced state. |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★★☆ | Xiangli Yao’s Resonance Skill can be upgraded after focusing on his Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation, as it also plays a significant role in his damage output both during and outside of his enhanced state. |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★☆ | Upgrade this skill alongside Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation to further amplify the Electro Damage he can deal through his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill moveset. |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★★ | Xiangli Yao's strongest attacks are unleashed after casting his Resonance Liberation, which enhances all of his other skills to deal devastating amounts of damage. Prioritize fully upgrading this skill first before focusing on anything else, as it is the key to maximizing his damage output. |
| Intro Skill | ★☆☆☆☆ | While his Intro Skill deals a significant amount of Electro Damage to enemies, it is not the primary focus of Xiangli Yao’s abilities. Only prioritize this skill once other skills have been fully upgraded. |
Xiangli Yao’s DPS shines when he has his Resonance Liberation activated, making him a powerhouse on the battlefield.
His Forte Circuit and Resonance Skill also takes its damage dealt based on how strong his Resonance Liberation is, so be sure to raise them at the same pace, with his Forte Circuit taking more priority.
Unlocking Xiangli Yao’s first Inherent Skill is highly beneficial, as it amplifies his Electro Damage after casting his Resonance Skill. This damage boost becomes crucial during his enhanced state, especially when executing Resonance Skill: Law of Reigns.

| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| S1 | ★★★★☆ - Great This is a solid addition to Xiangli Yao’s already powerful Forte Circuit finisher. While the damage scale isn't too high, it can still be useful in overwhelming enemies with extra damage. |
| S2 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Granting Xiangli Yao the ability to increase his Crit. DMG is highly beneficial, particularly in his enhanced state. To maximize this Sequence Node, ensure that you continually fill up his Forte Circuit and activate his enhanced Resonance Skill. |
| S3 | ★★★★★ - Amazing This Sequence Node allows for an additional buff to Xiangli Yao's Resonance Skill and is active for the entirety of his enhanced state. Get this to amplify his already devastating damage even further. |
| S4 | ★★☆☆☆ - Okay Since Xiangli Yao’s primary damage output happens during his Resonance Liberation state, it would be inefficient to switch him out after casting it. This Sequence Node will only be useful to him if Xiangli Yao can recast his Resonance Liberation again within the next 30 seconds. |
| S5 | ★★★★☆ - Great Acquiring this Sequence Node will significantly enhance Xiangli Yao's Resonance Liberation, which should be your primary focus. It will also be beneficial for his off-field outro skill, boosting its damage during its brief active period. |
| S6 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Achieving S6 for Xiangli Yao will solidify his status as a top-tier DPS by significantly enhancing his already powerful abilities. This Sequence Node allows him to deliver an even more devastating burst of damage each time you unleash his Forte Circuit while in his enhanced state. |
| S1 | Prodigy of Proteges Resonance Skill Law of Reigns additionally launches 6 Convolution Matrices at enemies, each dealing Resoannce Liberation DMG equal to 8% of the skill's DMG Multiplier. |

| S2 | Traces of Predecessors Casting Resonance Skill or Resonance Liberation Cogitation Model increases CRIT DMG by 30% for 8s. |
| S3 | Ruins of Ancient Casting Resonance Liberation Cogitation Model increases the DMG of the following Resonance Skill moves by 63% for 24s: Decipher, Deduction, Divergence, and Law of Reigns. This effect can be triggered up to 5 times. |
| S4 | Vessel of Rebirth Casting Resonance Liberation Cogitation Model grants a 25% DMG Bonus to all team members' Resonance Liberation for 30s. |
| S5 | End of Stars The DMG Multiplier of Outro Skill Chain Rule is increased by 222%. The DMG Multiplier of Resonance Liberation Cogitation Model is increased by 100%. |
