The Rotation Mistake That Cuts Her Damage in Half
Yangyang Xuanling wants Heavy Attack amplification on field when she spends Azure Plume. Chisa’s Outro feeds that amp (community testing puts Heavy Attack Amplification near 50%). Intro into Xuanling first and you spend her big Heavies before the buff lands.
Field order for a Chisa team:
Support fills Concerto and drops team buffs (Iuno / Shorekeeper / Verina).
Chisa groups, applies Havoc Bane, shreds DEF, then Outros.
Yangyang Xuanling intros into the amp and runs her Azure / Feather Heavy loop.
Build Concerto on the buffer, dump Chisa’s kit, then park Xuanling on the buffed target. Portrait order in the team menu does not set this sequence.
Yangyang Xuanling Best Weapons
Rank | Weapon | Notes |
|---|---|---|
1 | Azure Oath (sig) | Best in slot. All-Attribute DMG + Heavy Amp + DEF ignore while Bane stays up |
2 | Emerald Sentence / similar Heavy swords | Heavy-focused 5★ alternatives when you own them |
3 | Emerald of Genesis | Strong permanent option; Crit Rate frees substats for Crit DMG |
4 | Lumingloss (R5 BP) | Best 4★ Heavy stick; lower base ATK |
5 | Commando of Conviction (R5) | Free Intro ATK buff if you lack better swords |
Pull Azure Oath if you already committed to Xuanling as a long-term Havoc carry. Emerald of Genesis clears Tower content while you farm.
Best Echo Set: Song of Feathered Trace (and What to Skip)
Set | Verdict | Use when |
|---|---|---|
Song of Feathered Trace 5pc | BiS | Default for Xuanling DPS |
Moonlit Clouds 5pc | Situational | You want Impermanence Heron ATK pass to the next Resonator and chase peak showcase numbers |
Midnight Veil 5pc | Skip for peak DPS | Strong sheet stats (+Havoc / Outro nuke); loses peak Heavy windows to Moonlit in side-by-side tests |
Song of Feathered Trace gives unconditional ER on 2pc and, after you inflict Havoc Bane, Crit Rate plus Heavy Attack DMG for 15s. That matches her kit.
Main Echo: Thousand-Puppet Pavilion. Cast it at the start of her field time so the summoned blades ride every Bane application.
Farm tip: Prefer Cost 1 pieces with Crit + Heavy Attack or ATK. A pretty Crit ratio on Midnight Veil loses if the 4-cost bird fails to match Moonlit / Song utility.
How to Play Yangyang Xuanling (Step Rotation)
Core loop: generate Azure Plume ×2, spend them on enhanced Heavies in Azure or Feather stance, refill with Liberation + Skill Flow, repeat.
Step 1: Intro Skill (Skybound Feather) for 1 Azure Plume and a free Bane stack.
Step 2: Cast Echo (Thousand-Puppet Pavilion) as her field time starts.
Step 3: Azure Basics to empty Melody → Skill into Feather (or use Liberation to dump Melody + grant a Plume).
Step 4: Hold Heavy in Feather → Feather Fall → Havoc in Bloom (cancel endlag with Liberation when ready).
Step 5: Skill Flow back to Azure → Heavy Azure cyclone while Bated Breath Crit DMG is live.
Step 6: Outro once Concerto is full, or keep one more Plume cycle if buff timers allow.
Quick rules:
Liberation restores a Plume and maxes Bane on hit. Use it as a Plume battery, not a panic button.
Keep her as the active Resonator during Bated Breath / Streaming Storm windows; those Crit DMG buffs check on-field status.
Light quick-swaps with Iuno can refresh buff uptime without dropping her Heavy string. Full swap spam mid-Heavy wastes amp.
Best Teams for Yangyang Xuanling
Team | Members | When to run |
|---|---|---|
Premium Heavy | Xuanling + Chisa + Iuno / Shorekeeper | Best Bane + Heavy Amp + sustain |
Havoc double | Xuanling + Phrolova + Shorekeeper / Verina | AoE floors; Phrolova buffs Havoc / Heavy |
F2P Heavy | Xuanling + Mortefi + Verina | Mortefi Outro Heavy Amp; low pull cost |
Future | Xuanling + Suisui + Chisa | Hold a slot if Suisui lands as her best partner |
Shorekeeper heals and buffs, yet Xuanling loads Crit from her own kit. Chisa or a dedicated Heavy buffer often out-damages a pure Crit support in the third slot. Verina covers the budget heal pick.
How to Farm More Power (Materials, Codes, Lunites)

FAQ
Is Yangyang Xuanling the same as starter Yangyang?
No. Starter Yangyang is a 4★ Aero battery / gather unit. Yangyang: Xuanling is a 5★ Havoc Main DPS with Azure / Feather stances, Azure Plume Heavies, and Havoc Bane scaling. Builds and teams do not transfer.
Does Yangyang Xuanling need her signature weapon?
Azure Oath is her peak ceiling. Emerald of Genesis and other Crit / Heavy swords clear endgame. Pull the sig if she is your main Havoc carry for the patch. Grab Chisa or a sustain unit first if that slot is empty.
Moonlit Clouds or Midnight Veil on her?
Xuanling’s damage lives in on-field Heavy windows. Moonlit’s 4-cost pass and ATK amp line up with those windows better than Midnight Veil’s sheet Havoc and Outro nuke. Craft Song of Feathered Trace first for a dedicated DPS build.
Crit Rate target for Yangyang Xuanling?
Aim for 70–74% Crit Rate once Song of Feathered Trace’s +20% Crit Rate is active in combat. Put the rest into Crit DMG and Heavy Attack %. An 80% Crit Rate board with zero Heavy substats cuts peak hits.

Yangyang Xuanling rewards correct Outro order and Heavy-focused gear.
