Overview:

Yingzhao is a Wind-element main DPS. Her damage capability is acceptable, but not outstanding. The rotation for her highest ceiling is also relatively simple and straightforward. She is quite dependent on Sigil Enchants, so at low investment (S and SS rank) she is relatively weak, and becomes stronger only at SSS and above. She is the biggest beneficiary of Luliang’s Synergy.

My little sister can't be this cute

In summary, although Yingzhao’s design seems very complex on the surface, her actual operation is very simple and straightforward, so she is a worthwhile character to play for both new and veteran admins. After Luliang’s Synergy, with the addition of Linyu, Yingzhao is quietly developing. Waiting for her own Synergy to take her even further!


Sigil Recommendations:

Just choose the DPS set shown in the Build tab. There are no other usable Sigils for now.

For Omega, it is recommended to use [Ambush of the Owl] or [Sword of Roland]. It should be noted that [Sword of Roland] requires the player to control Yingzhao’s burst phase within Modified Mode, so it is not applicable to bosses that cannot enter Modified Mode.


Aether Code Recommendations:

It is recommended to use the Blue 3 Aether Code.

For other Aether Codes, even with perfect manual control, they are not necessarily stronger than the full Blue 3, unless you don’t roll for any [Charged and Ready] enchants at all.

For AI control, the full Yellow 3 Aether Code is more recommended, as it is relatively more suited to the AI’s operational habits.


Signature Functor (Otherworlder - Luan):

The mechanism change from Yingzhao’s signature Functor has almost no benefit for the Blue line Aether Code. So, for a Blue line Yingzhao, using the signature Functor is basically just for independent DMG bonus of the increase and the enhanced skill Base DMG.

In this regard, an S-rank with a tier 1 signature Functor is inferior to a 5-star generic Functor at tier 5, so low-investment players need to pay attention.

However, a tier 1+2 signature Functor is stronger than a 5+2 5-star generic Functor, so at SS and above, Yingzhao’s signature Functor is an easy choice.

If you are playing a Yellow line Yingzhao, the signature Functor is almost a must-have, but even so, it is still not as good as the Blue line Yingzhao, sad.


Playstyle:

Dodging without moving and then using a skill uses an Enhanced skill.

Dodging while moving and then using a skill is a Derivative skill. You can distinguish them by whether they have a second part; the one with a second part is the Derivative skill.

Blue line rotation:

  • In the Divine Grace gathering phase, mainly rely on the enhanced Skill 1 to obtain a large amount of Divine Grace. Avoid using derivative skills if possible, as it is a relative waste of time for storing Divine Grace.

  • After Divine Grace is full, calculate the CD of Skill 2 in advance and use the enhanced Skill 2 to enter Ascendancy state.

  • After entering Ascendancy state, just keep using the enhanced Skill 2 for burst damage. The main source of damage for the Blue line Yingzhao is the enhanced Skill 2 after entering Ascendancy state mode, so it requires the supports to align with the burst window.


Stat Boost Priority:

  • Prioritize upgrading Skill 2, followed by Skill 1 and Skill 3. If you have extra resources, you can choose to upgrade her Ultimate and Normal Attack.

Team Recommendations:

  • The team with the highest ceiling is Yingzhao + Linyu (with Linyu’s Ultimate Skillchain) + Luliang.
