| Drive Disc | Rating and Merits |
|---|---|
|
(4-pc) (2-pc) |
★★★ - Best Set! Like other Rupture Agents, Banyue's DMG scales off of his Max HP. A 4pc. Yunkui Tales should work perfectly for him, especially because he is reliant on EX Special Attacks. Prioritize CRIT DMG via Branch and Blade Song since he naturally builds up is CRIT Rate. |
|
(4-pc) (2-pc) |
★★☆ - 2nd Best Presuming you don't have his signature W-Engine, you may opt to give Banyue a boost in CRIT Rate by replacing Branch and Blade Song with Woodpecker Electro. |
|
(4-pc) (2-pc) |
★☆☆ - 3rd Best Alternatively, you can replace the 2pc. set with Inferno Metal for additional Fire DMG. |
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| ★★★★★ | It's important to upgrade Banyue's Core Skill first for his DMG buff. | |
| ★★★★★ | A lot of the damage will come from Banyue's Basic Attack especially when put in combos, so max this out when you can. | |
| ★★★☆☆ | Banyue's Perfect Block comes from his Dodge skill, but apart from the invulnerability it grants, it doesn’t grant anything else. Feel free to upgrade this skill at your own pace. | |
| ★★★☆☆ | You can also save Banyue's Assist for later for the Daze his Defensive Assist provides. | |
| ★★★★★ | Banyue's Special Attack is an essential part of his kit that makes up a lot of his combos, so upgrade this as much as you can. | |
| ★★★★☆ | Both Banyue's Chain Attack and Ultimate enable him to go directly into the Visage of Wrath state and can chain into other combos. |

He also doesn't like hair transplants, according to Dialyn's quote. The quote marked as unknown seems to imply that he's undergone a rebirth like Magus and Qingyi.
