Strengths & Weaknesses
Tingyun
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.
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.
Tribbie
Strengths
- Ultimate “Guess Who Lives Here” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Talent “Busy as Tribbie” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Tribbie is not the active turn.
- Skill “Where'd the Gifts Go” Gains "Numinosity," lasting for 3 turn(s)—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
- Buff windows on “Guess Who Lives Here” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Follow-Ups from “Busy as Tribbie” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Tribbie’s off-turn damage.
- Tribbie’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.
