Yinlin Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Yinlin’s marking mechanic allows her to consistently deal significant AoE damage, both on and off the field, provided you utilize it effectively.
• Her Outro Skill is a powerful asset, boosting Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG, making her an ideal Sub-DPS for Electro Main DPS characters like Calcharo, who benefits greatly from ultimate-scaling abilities.
Weaknesses
• To maximize her Outro Skill, team compositions are somewhat restricted to Electro-centric setups.
• While viable as a Main DPS, Yinlin’s damage output is generally lower compared to dedicated top-tier Main DPS characters such as Carlotta or Camellya.

Yinlin shines as a Sub-DPS, offering substantial damage and team buffs, particularly within Electro teams. However, her main DPS potential is less pronounced compared to specialized damage dealers.

Yinlin is a versatile damage dealer capable of functioning as both a Sub-DPS and a Main DPS. Her abilities enable consistent damage application whether she is actively on the field or supporting from the sidelines. To fully leverage her Outro Skill, focusing on Electro-based teams is highly recommended.

CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Echo Substats Tuning Priority
1. CRIT Rate ★★★ 2. CRIT DMG ★★★ 3. ATK% ★★ 4. Energy Regen ★★ 5. Resonance Skill DMG Bonus ★ 6. Flat ATK ★

Prioritizing these stats on Yinlin’s Echoes will significantly enhance her damage potential and energy efficiency as a Sub-DPS.

Yinlin excels as a Sub-DPS by delivering substantial on-field damage and providing valuable buffs off-field through her Outro Skill and Forte Circuit. As a Sub-DPS, the goal is to amplify her Coordinated Attack damage while boosting the main DPS character’s overall damage. For the early game, the Moonlit Clouds set is a viable option, but transitioning to the Empyrean Anthem set upon reaching Rinascita is highly recommended for optimized performance. If a dedicated DPS is unavailable, Yinlin can function as a DPS using a 5-piece Void Thunder set. In this setup, prioritize CRIT and ATK% for main and substats, while ensuring a good balance of Energy Regen to maintain consistent burst uptime.

Yinlin Best Echo Sets

Optimal Main Echo Choices

Main Echo	Explanation
Nightmare: Tempest Mephis	・Significantly enhances Yinlin’s Coordinated Attack DMG while also buffing her Electro DMG and Resonance Skill DMG.・Ideal for Yinlin as an Electro Sub-DPS utilizing Coordinated Attacks.
Tempest Mephis	・The standard version of Yinlin’s best-in-slot Echo.・Lacks the Empyrean Anthem Sonata Effect, limiting you to Void Thunder. Suitable for pre-Rinascita progression.
Impermanence Heron	・Restores Yinlin’s Resonance Energy, enabling more frequent Ultimate casts.・Increases the next character’s DMG, beneficial for a semi-support Yinlin role.

These Echo choices cater to different stages of the game and Yinlin’s role, from maximizing Sub-DPS damage to enhancing energy regeneration and support capabilities.

Echo Tier List

Yinlin Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set	Rating
Empyrean Anthem (5-pc)	★★★ – Best Yinlin’s kit is designed around coordinated attacks, which contribute significantly to her damage output. The Empyrean Anthem set is her current best-in-slot Sonata Effect, perfectly complementing this playstyle. Combine it with the Nightmare version of Tempest Mephis as her main Echo. Recommended Main Echo: Nightmare: Tempest Mephis
Moonlit Clouds (5-pc)	★★☆ – 2nd Best Prior to reaching Rinascita, building Yinlin as a support for another Electro unit is effective. Moonlit Clouds is ideal in this scenario, paired with Impermanence Heron as the main Echo. Recommended Main Echo: Impermanence Heron
Void Thunder (5-pc)	★☆☆ – 3rd Best If you lack a dedicated DPS unit and are using Yinlin as your primary damage source, Void Thunder becomes a viable Sonata Effect. While the Nightmare version of Tempest Mephis is optimal long-term, the standard version works well in the early game. Recommended Main Echo: Nightmare: Tempest Mephis

These Sonata Effects offer varied benefits, allowing you to adapt Yinlin’s build to your current game progression and team needs, with Empyrean Anthem standing out as the top choice for end-game optimization.

Yinlin Best Teams

Yinlin Double Electro Premium Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiangli Yao	Yinlin	Shorekeeper

This premium team composition leverages Yinlin’s Sub-DPS capabilities to amplify Xiangli Yao’s Electro damage, with Shorekeeper providing essential support.

Xiangli Yao stands out as the premier Main DPS for Yinlin, effectively utilizing the Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation boosts provided by her Outro Skill.

Shorekeeper fulfills the crucial healing role within this team. Her Stellarealm ability further enhances team damage, and she provides an additional All-Type DMG Deepen buff, complementing Yinlin’s Electro DMG boost.

Character Alternatives	Explanation
Calcharo	Main-DPS Replacement: Serves as an excellent Electro DPS alternative if Xiangli Yao is unavailable.
Verina	Support Replacement: Verina’s healing and Damage Deepen buff from her Outro Skill make her a viable support alternative to Shorekeeper.
Youhu	Support Replacement: Youhu, a support-healer hybrid, can fill the support role, notably buffing coordinated attacks, which synergizes well with Yinlin’s kit.

These character alternatives offer flexibility in team building, allowing players to adjust based on character availability and strategic preferences.

General Rotation

Step	Action
1	Initiate with Shorekeeper, utilizing Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill to generate Flare Star and Dim Star Butterflies. Build up Resonance and Concerto Energy.
2	Activate Shorekeeper’s Resonance Liberation. With maximum Concerto Energy, switch to Yinlin to trigger her Intro Skill, accumulating Concerto Energy and Forte Circuit bars.
3	Once Yinlin’s Outro Skill and Forte Circuit are ready, execute her full damage combo, then switch to Xiangli Yao.
4	Deploy Xiangli Yao’s Ultimate as soon as possible and engage enemies with his optimal damage rotations.
5	After Xiangli Yao’s Ultimate concludes and Hypercubes are depleted, switch back to Shorekeeper with max Concerto Energy to detonate her Stellarealm, repeating the cycle until all enemies are defeated.

This rotation ensures a seamless flow of damage and support, maximizing team synergy and effectiveness in combat.

Yinlin Coordinated Attack DPS Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Jinhsi	Yinlin	Shorekeeper

This team composition leverages Yinlin’s coordinated attacks to enhance Jinhsi’s damage output, supported by Shorekeeper for healing and buffs.

Yinlin’s Punishment Marks are classified as Coordinated Attacks, aiding in stacking Jinhsi’s Incandescence. Yinlin’s Outro Skill further amplifies Jinhsi’s Resonance Liberation DMG, creating a synergistic damage core.

Shorekeeper supports both DPS characters with her Stellarealm, providing healing and ensuring team survivability.

Character Alternatives	Explanation
Verina	Support Replacement: Verina offers healing, a Damage Deepen buff via her Outro Skill, and additional Coordinated Attacks, making her a strong support alternative.
Youhu	Support Replacement: Youhu, a support-healer hybrid, can also take on the support role in this team, boosting coordinated attacks to further benefit Yinlin and Jinhsi.

These alternatives provide options for support roles, maintaining the team’s focus on coordinated attacks and damage amplification.

General Rotation

Step	Action
1	Start combat with Shorekeeper. Charge her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy, deploying the former immediately and swapping when the latter is full.
2	Switch to Yinlin and apply Sinner’s Marks to all enemies, then convert them to Punishment Marks using her Forte Circuit. Maximize Concerto Energy accumulation.
3	With Concerto Energy fully charged, switch to Jinhsi. Utilize Shorekeeper’s Stellarealm at max level and Yinlin’s Coordinated Attacks to unleash Jinhsi’s combos for maximum damage.
4	Immediately use Overflowing Radiance, a Resonance Skill variation of Jinhsi, followed by another Resonance Skill. Execute Jinhsi’s Basic Attack combo to Basic Attack 4, then use Illuminous Epiphany, the final Resonance Skill variation, to gain Unison. Finally, switch out to Yinlin. Note that Unison substitutes Concerto Energy consumption.
5	Switch back to Shorekeeper to detonate her Stellarealm with an Enhanced Intro Skill.
6	Repeat this rotation until enemies are defeated.

This rotation sequence maximizes the coordinated attack synergy between Yinlin and Jinhsi, ensuring consistent and high damage output.

Yinlin Free-to-Play Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Rover (Havoc)	Yinlin	Baizhi

For players focusing on Free-to-Play options, this team composition pairs Yinlin with the F2P-friendly Havoc Rover and Baizhi for support.

If Calcharo or other Main DPS characters are allocated to other teams, this F2P setup with Havoc Rover as Main DPS and Baizhi as support is a solid alternative. This team emphasizes Basic Attack-oriented gameplay, capitalizing on Rover’s powerful Dark Surge state.

Alternatively, consider substituting Rover with other robust Single-Target DPS characters like Chixia or Lingyang. For grouping support, Yangyang or Jianxin can replace Baizhi if healing supports are needed elsewhere.

General Rotation

Step	Action
1	Use Yinlin until all her abilities are ready and execute her full combo.
2	Perform Yinlin’s full damage combo and switch to Rover.
3	Activate Rover’s Dark Surge state and attack enemies aggressively.
4	Once Yinlin’s abilities cooldown, switch back to her and repeat until all enemies are defeated.
Low HP	Switch to Baizhi and utilize all her healing abilities until it’s safe to return to your DPS characters.

This rotation provides a straightforward and effective approach for F2P players, balancing damage output with sustain.

How to Play Yinlin

Yinlin Gameplay Guide
Apply Sinner’s Marks on Enemies Convert Sinner’s Marks to Punishment Marks Swap Out After Using Her Forte Circuit Use Her Resonance Skill After Applying Sinner’s Marks Use Basic Attacks if You Don’t Have Ult Sinner’s Marks are Semi-Permanent

This gameplay guide highlights key mechanics for playing Yinlin effectively, focusing on her mark system and strategic ability usage.

Apply Sinner’s Marks on Enemies

Attacks That Apply Sinner’s Marks
Normal Attack

Yinlin’s gameplay heavily relies on her Sinner’s Mark mechanic. Ensure enemies are consistently marked before initiating damage sequences and combos.

Convert Sinner’s Marks to Punishment Marks

This image illustrates Yinlin’s Forte Circuit gauge, essential for converting Sinner’s Marks to Punishment Marks.

To convert Sinner’s Marks into Punishment Marks, utilize Yinlin’s Forte Circuit. Fill her Forte Gauge by using Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill, then hold Heavy Attack to transform Sinner’s Marks into Punishment Marks.

Always apply Sinner’s Marks before using her Forte Circuit, as Punishment Marks are not generated otherwise.

Swap Out After Using Her Forte Circuit

As a Sub-DPS, it’s optimal to switch Yinlin out after activating Punishment Marks. She doesn’t need to remain on the field for Judgement Strike procs, allowing your Main DPS to take over.

This is particularly beneficial if she is equipped with Stringmaster, which further boosts her ATK stat when off-field, enhancing Judgement Thunder damage.

Use Her Resonance Skill After Applying Sinner’s Marks

The second activation of Yinlin’s Resonance Skill targets all enemies marked with Sinner’s Marks. Always use her Resonance Skill after applying Sinner’s Marks to maximize its damage output.

Use Basic Attacks if You Don’t Have Ult

If Yinlin’s Ultimate is not available, focus on using Basic Attacks against enemies to apply Sinner’s Marks. This ensures you can still convert them into Punishment Marks via her Forte Circuit, even without prior Ultimate usage.

Sinner’s Marks are Semi-Permanent

Sinner’s Marks have indefinite duration, allowing you to leverage effects dependent on these marks without time constraints. Sinner’s Marks only disappear when Yinlin is switched off-field or when she uses her Forte Circuit to convert them into Punishment Marks.

Yinlin Recommended Combos

Basic Forte Circuit Generation Combo

Combo Sequence
BA (All Enemies) → Res. Skill (if Available) → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → Repeat

Use this combo when waiting for Yinlin’s abilities to cooldown or when generating energy for her Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit.

Full Damage Rotation Combo

Combo Type	Combo Sequence
Thundering / Tempest Mephis Combo	Intro Skill → Echo Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Outro Skill
Impermanence Heron Combo	Intro Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → Echo Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Outro Skill
Nightmare Echo Combo	Intro Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → Res. Skill → HA (Forte Circuit) → Echo Skill → Outro Skill

Reapply Sinner’s Marks if enemies die before using Forte Circuit to ensure Punishment Marks are generated.

This is Yinlin’s standard full damage combo, designed for situations where all abilities are available. It maximizes damage output and optimizes Forte Circuit and Outro Skill timers before switching to the Main DPS.

If using Nightmare Mephis Echoes, they can be used whenever available without needing to precede other abilities for buff activation.

Resonance Skill	★★★★☆	Upgrading Resonance Skill boosts both normal and Execution Mode damage. A high priority due to frequent use in her rotation.
Forte Circuit	★★★★★	Upgrading Forte Circuit increases Heavy Attack damage and, crucially, Judgement Strike damage against Punishment Marked enemies. Top priority for upgrades.
