How to play Xiangli Yao
An Electro main DPS whose damage is concentrated in Resonance Liberation DMG and who is unusually hard to interrupt while it is running. Resonance Liberation opens with Electro DMG, puts him into Intuition and hands him 3 Hypercubes.
Inside Intuition, Resonance Skill, Basic and Heavy Attacks build Performance Capacity, and at 5 stacks he spends a Hypercube on an enhanced Resonance Skill that also counts as Resonance Liberation DMG. Consistent, and forgiving for how much he outputs.
Xiangli Yao’s best teams
Xiangli Yao Hypercarry
Xiangli Yao (Main DPS), Lynae (Sub-DPS), Mornye or Shorekeeper or Verina (Support)
The best Xiangli Yao Hypercarry.
Lynae feeds Resonance Liberation DMG, and that’s what Xiangli scales on.
With Lynae in the second slot, Mornye is generally Xiangli Yao's best third slot, since Lynae supplies the Tune Rupture and Tune Strain she responds to.
Xiangli Yao Team
Xiangli Yao (Main DPS), Suoming or Yinlin (Sub-DPS), Shorekeeper or Suisui or Mornye (Support)
A Xiangli Yao Team.
Suoming feeds Electro DMG, and that’s what Xiangli scales on.
Shorekeeper puts Crit and ATK on top of everything, and heals.
On the numbers, about 2.0M per rotation.
With Suisui: about 1.9M. With Mornye: about 1.9M.
With Buling (4★) in Shorekeeper’s seat: about 1.7M per rotation.
