Tingyun
Situational—Tingyun batteries Energy and ATK for hypercarries. Ultimate “Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill. Best with Yunli / Argenti / Jing Yuan / Clara. Single-target Benediction only. Skip when Sunday/Huohuo already solve Energy on both sides.
Tingyun is a 4★ Lightning Harmony Support. Skill “Soothing Melody” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths
- Ultimate “Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds” refunds a meaningful chunk of Energy inside the Skill—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Soothing Melody” Grants a single ally with Benediction to increase their ATK by 63%, up to 30% of Tingyun's current ATK—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Violet Sparknado” When an enemy is attacked by Tingyun—ignore it and Tingyun plays like a worse generic Harmony unit.
- Learning when to hold vs spend “Soothing Melody” is the difference between a clean Tingyun cycle and a wasted Skill Point.
Weaknesses
- Buff windows on “Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Tingyun’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- As a 4★ Harmony unit, Tingyun is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Soothing Melody” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Tingyun is often the SP sink.
Trace Priority
Soothing Melody carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Violet Sparknado supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Dislodged is last priority outside of filling trace materials.
Stat Priority
Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.
Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.
Light Cones
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 0.1% and regenerates 1 Skill Point when the wearer uses their Ultimate on an ally. This effect can be triggered once after every 2 uses of the wearer's Ultimate. When the wearer uses their Skill, the next ally taking action (except the wearer) deals 0.3% more DMG for 1 turn(s).
Why it works —Strong Harmony option for Tingyun; use while farming or if signature is unavailable.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 0.32%. At the start of the battle, the wearer gains Mask, lasting for 3 turn(s). While the wearer has Mask, the wearer's teammates have their CRIT Rate increased by 0.1% and their CRIT DMG increased by 0.28%. For every 1 Skill Point the wearer recovers (including Skill Points that exceed the limit), they gain 1 stack of Radiant Flame. And when the wearer has 4 stacks of Radiant Flame, all the stacks are removed, and they gain Mask, lasting for 4 turn(s).
Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.
4★ · Path cone
At the start of the battle and whenever the wearer's turn begins, one of the following effects is applied randomly: All allies' ATK increases by 0.1%, all allies' CRIT DMG increases by 0.12%, or all allies' Energy Regeneration Rate increases by 0.06%. The applied effect cannot be identical to the last effect applied, and will replace the previous effect. The applied effect will be removed when the wearer has been knocked down. Effects of the same type cannot be stacked.
Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.
4★ · Path cone
When the wearer uses their Skill, the next ally taking action (except the wearer) deals 0.16% increased DMG for 1 turn(s).
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.
Relics
Team Compositions
Tingyun enabling Argenti. Argenti, The Herta, Huohuo complete the erudition shell.
Argenti is the damage seat in this shell — build the supports around their rotation, not the reverse.
Enabler / amp piece this page is built around — keep their buffs or debuffs online every cycle.
The Herta is the damage seat in this shell — build the supports around their rotation, not the reverse.
Huohuo covers healing (and often Energy / cleanse) so the carry can stay on-curve.
