Forte Circuit is the main priority for leveling up. The next priority is Resonance Skill and Basic Attack, followed by Resonance Liberation, and the least priority is his Intro Skill.

Highest Priority: Forte Circuit
High Priority: Resonance Skill
High Priority:
Basic Attack
Low Priority: Resonance Liberation
Lowest Priority: Intro Skill

For Lingyang’s skill priority, prioritize upgrading his Forte Circuit first, as his main damage output comes from empowered attacks in the Striding Lion state.

Next, focus on his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill, which are crucial for his non-Striding Lion combos.

His Resonance Liberation is mainly used to enable Striding Lion and apply the Glacio DMG Bonus, so it’s less important for damage scaling.

Finally, upgrade his Intro Skill last, as it contributes the least to his overall performance.

Notable Sequence Nodes are the following:

Sequence Node 3

During the Resonance Liberation Lion’s Swift, Lingyang’s own additional basic attack damage bonus is increased by 20%, and the Resonance Skill damage bonus is increased by 10%.

Sequence Node 5

Best Teams

Best Team

Lingyang Hyper Carry

Lingyang (Main DPS)
Sanhua (Sub-DPS)
Verina (Support, Buffer)

Pair Lingyang with Sanhua to maximize his damage output, as she boosts Basic Attack DMG with her Outro skill. Lingyang consistently uses his basic attacks, both in and out of his Striding Lion stance, making Sanhua’s buffs essential. Sanhua’s short field time allows more uptime for Lingyang and supports efficient rotations. For support, use either Baizhi or Verina, with Verina preferred for handling Glacio-resistant enemies.
