Best Weapons for Yangyang Xuanling
Rank | Weapon | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Azure Oath | Signature 5★ | BiS. 587 ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate. Passive stays up as long as she applies Havoc Bane |
2 | Emerald Sentence | Limited 5★ | Strongest non-signature. Crit value + skill synergy in burst windows |
3 | Emerald of Genesis | Standard 5★ | Best free pick. Crit Rate + Energy Regen smooths Liberation |
4 | Lumingloss | Battle Pass 4★ | Heavy Attack DMG after Resonance Skill |
5 | Commando of Conviction | Craftable 4★ | Free ATK% on Intro if you skip paid options |
Azure Oath is the clear spike. Skip the weapon banner when character pity matters more than the damage ceiling. Emerald of Genesis covers most Tower and Whimpering Wastes clears until a signature rerun.
Best Echo Set and Stats for Yangyang Xuanling
Sonata set and main Echo
Run full Song of Feathered Trace. The 5-piece activates on Havoc Bane and feeds Crit Rate plus Heavy Attack DMG for 15 seconds. Xuanling applies Bane through her stance strings, so the buff stays online for the whole field time.
Put Thousand-Puppet Pavilion in the main slot. The Echo Skill summons Blades of Thousand Memories; each Bane hit consumes a blade for extra Havoc DMG. The main-slot passive adds 12% Havoc DMG and 12% Heavy Attack DMG on top.
Main stats and substats
Cost | Main stat | Target |
|---|---|---|
4 | Crit Rate or Crit DMG | Cap Crit Rate near 70% once set buffs are counted |
3 | Havoc DMG Bonus | Both Cost 3 pieces |
3 | Havoc DMG Bonus | Both Cost 3 pieces |
1 | ATK% | Both Cost 1 pieces |
1 | ATK% | Both Cost 1 pieces |
Substat order:
Crit Rate / Crit DMG
Heavy Attack DMG Bonus
ATK%
Energy Regen (only enough for Liberation every rotation)
A working Cost 3 piece looks like Havoc DMG 30% with Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and Heavy Attack DMG on the rolls. Cost 1 pieces want ATK% main with double Crit. Expect to burn Tuners and Sealed Tubes chasing those lines. Keep every Song of Feathered Trace drop until you lock Crit + Heavy Attack on the final five pieces, then batch discard the rest.
Stat targets once the set is live:
Stat | Target |
|---|---|
Crit Rate | ~70% (set feather helps) |
Crit DMG | ~200%+ |
Energy Regen | Enough for Liberation each rotation |
HP / ATK | Full level 90 weapon + Echo cost 12/12 |
How to Play Yangyang Xuanling
She runs on Melody (0-100) and Azure Plume (0-2). Stance switches through Resonance Skill. Azure Sword Stance favors linear Heavy Attack finishers; Feather Sword Stance favors groups.
Step 1: Support setup. Land buffs and Havoc Bane from Chisa (or Mortefi Outro on the F2P path), then Intro into Xuanling for a free Azure Plume.
Step 2: Spend Melody with Heavy Attacks and stance strings. Stage 4 hits apply Havoc Bane.
Step 3: When Melody empties, cast Sword Stance Flow (the transformed Resonance Skill) to refill Melody, gain one Azure Plume, and bank Crit DMG for the next Heavy Attack.
Step 4: At 2 Azure Plume, fire the empowered Heavy Attack. That hit applies two Bane stacks and does most of her damage.
Step 5: Cast Resonance Liberation when ready. It dumps Melody, maxes Havoc Bane, grants Plume, and summons Shadow of Xuanling for bonus Heavy Attack damage. Skill again, then another empowered Heavy Attack.
Step 6: Stay on field for extra Plume cycles, or swap out once Concerto fills and supports need to refresh.
Treat dodge frames on stance switches as part of the rotation. She hits hard and dies fast if you ignore i-frames.
Best Teams for Yangyang Xuanling
Team | Members | Role split |
|---|---|---|
Premium | Xuanling + Chisa + Suisui | Carry + Bane/DEF shred + sister buff / heal |
Strong alt | Xuanling + Chisa + Shorekeeper | Same engine with universal Crit buffs |
Havoc flex | Xuanling + Phrolova + Shorekeeper | Phrolova buffs Havoc and Heavy Attack |
F2P | Xuanling + Mortefi + Verina | Heavy Attack Outro + free sustain |
Chisa raises negative-status caps (including Havoc Bane) and shreds DEF. Suisui converts that Bane economy into team amplification and healing. If Phase 2 pulls went into Suisui, finish this squad first.
Mortefi + Verina clear Hazard Tower floors while you wait on premium supports. Mortefi’s Outro multiplies the Heavy Attack window Xuanling uses.
How to Farm Materials Faster
Farm Song of Feathered Trace and Thousand-Puppet Pavilion on weekly resets first. Cap the boss clears before anything else.
Dump Tuners into Cost 4 Crit pieces before Cost 1 fillers. One strong main Echo outpaces three mediocre ATK% pieces.
Level Liberation and Forte Circuit before Skill. Skill can sit mid-priority until the rest is maxed.
Pull Suisui if you already own Xuanling and Chisa. Her banner runs through mid-August 2026 in Version 3.5 Phase 2.

FAQ
Is Yangyang Xuanling better than the original Yangyang?
For damage, yes. Original Yangyang is a free Aero support. Xuanling is a limited Havoc main DPS with her own weapon, Echo set, and team. Build them as two different units.
Does Yangyang Xuanling need Azure Oath?
She clears content with Emerald of Genesis. Azure Oath is the largest single upgrade after the Echo set. Pull the weapon if you already own her and plan to main her through Tower resets.
What Echo set does Yangyang Xuanling use?
Song of Feathered Trace 5-piece with Thousand-Puppet Pavilion as the main Echo. Main stats: Crit on Cost 4, Havoc DMG on both Cost 3, ATK% on both Cost 1.
Who should I pair with Yangyang Xuanling?
Chisa + Suisui is the premium answer. Chisa + Shorekeeper is the next step down. Mortefi + Verina covers F2P until those supports land.
How many Tuners do I need for a finished build?
Enough to fill five Echoes to +25 with Crit and Heavy Attack lines. Expect many discarded +10 / +15 pieces. Farm Sealed Tubes and Tuners alongside the set drop, not after.
Conclusion
Yangyang Xuanling’s build is narrow on purpose: Azure Oath, Song of Feathered Trace, Thousand-Puppet Pavilion, Crit and Havoc mains, then a team that keeps Havoc Bane stacked. Hit those pieces and her Heavy Attack rotation carries Hazard Tower and Whimpering Wastes. Check back when her supports or Echo options shift, and grab Lunites on BitTopup when you need pulls for Suisui or the next weapon banner.
