Sonata Effect: 5x Void Thunder

Yinlin excels with the 5-piece Void Thunder set, substantially boosting her Electro DMG. Her primary Echo should be the Thundering Mephis, enhancing both her damage output and her ultimate power. Although Thundering Memphis is better for extra DPS, it will take too long to get the buffs, unlike Tempest Memphis.

As for the third build, consider using 2x Void Thundering and 2x Moonlit Clouds. This combination balances Yinlin’s offensive and supportive capabilities. Moonlit Clouds offer energy regeneration, ensuring she can use her Resonance Liberation more frequently.

Her Forte Circuit is the top priority, followed by the Resonance Liberation and Resonance Skill, the Intro Skill, and lastly, her Basic ATK, which you can choose not to level up.

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

Yinlin’s Forte Circuit is her most important skill, as upgrading it increases the damage of her enhanced Heavy Attack and improves the damage of Judgement Strike. This AoE ability damages all enemies with a Punishment Mark.

Resonance Liberation should be a high priority, as it enhances the damage of her ultimate, which deals significant AoE damage.

Upgrading her Resonance Skill should also be a high priority, as it increases the damage to her normal Resonance Skill and those available in Execution Mode, which she uses frequently in her rotation.

Her Intro Skill provides some AoE damage when switching in, making it a lower priority.

Finally, while used in her rotation, her Basic Attack is the least crucial to upgrade, as the bulk of her damage comes from her other abilities. This can be ignored to save resources.

Notable Sequence Nodes are the following:

Sequence Node 3

“Punishment Mark” can be triggered once every 0.75s, and the damage of “Judgment Thunder” is increased by 15%.

Sequence Node 4

After casting the Resonance Liberation Breaking Thunder Strike, the attack of the characters in the team is increased by 20% for 12s.

Sequence Node 6

Best Teams

Best Team

Calcharo Main DPS with Yinlin Sub-DPS

Calcharo (Main DPS)
Yinlin (Sub DPS)
Verina (Support, Buffer)

Yinlin’s best team features Calcharo as the Main DPS, benefiting greatly from Yinlin’s Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation Boosts, which complement Calcharo’s skills. Yinlin fills in for Calcharo’s lack of consistent AoE with her Judgement Bolts. Verina serves as the primary healer, also providing an All-Type DMG Deepen buff in addition to Yinlin’s Electro DMG boost. This team composition maximizes Yinlin’s supportive and damage-dealing capabilities, creating a well-rounded and powerful lineup.

Team 2

Rover (Havoc) Main DPS with Yinlin Sub-DPS

Rover (Main DPS)
Yinlin (Sub DPS)
Baizhi

For a team without Calcharo, consider using Rover (Havoc) as your Main DPS alongside Yinlin and Baizhi for support. This team focuses on Basic Attacks, leveraging Rover’s potent Dark Surge state. You can also replace Rover with Encore and Baizhi with other available supports.
