Should You Pull?YES

Yes for Fusion Liberation / dual-DPS shells—Changli’s Fiery Feather window is still premium. Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window. Best with Brant / Lupa / Shorekeeper. Enflamement into Fiery Feather needs uninterrupted field time; mistimed swaps waste the Liberation. Skip when you won’t run Fusion Liberation teams and already cover Fusion damage elsewhere.

Changli is a 5★ Fusion Main DPS who fights with a Sword. Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window. Forte “Flaming Sacrifice” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window.

Strengths

  • Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window — that window is where Changli’s clear speed actually shows up.
  • Forte “Flaming Sacrifice” banks Enflamement into a Fiery Feather Liberation window, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Strategy of Duality” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
  • Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.

Weaknesses

  • Field-time hungry once Liberation “Radiance of Fealty” is up — double-DPS swaps dilute the dump window.
  • Wants dedicated supports and ER planning; dropped into a random squad, Liberation uptime falls off a cliff.

Team Compositions

Premium Changli shell: Aemeath is the Dual-DPS / quickswap partner; Brant brings Fusion + Skill amp. Rotation: open Aemeath / Brant for Concerto → Intro Changli → Liberation / Forte dump. Changli buffs Aemeath via her Outro in this team, while Lupa buffs Changli.

Character Synergy
Changli
ChangliMain DPS

Changli is the on-fielder — bank Concerto on Aemeath / Brant, Intro in, then dump Liberation / Forte inside their amp windows.

Aemeath
AemeathMain DPS

Aemeath is only worth using if played well in Quickswap, since Changli's short Outro buff requires Aemeath to cast Basic Attack chains as Changli is rotating to fully benefit from it on her biggest damaging

Brant
BrantMain DPS

Brant is very good at buffing Changli via his Outro skill, he brings healing and shielding to the table and is overall very easy to pilot while dealing very good damage on his own.

S1Hidden Thoughts

Resonance Skill Tripartite Flames and Heavy Attack Flaming Sacrifice increase Changli's DMG dealt by 10% and resistance to interruption.

Is it worth getting?

Modest S1: Adds RES / DEF shred or a large DMG Bonus clause. Helpful padding, not a build-defining unlock.

S2Pursuit of DesiresPull Target

Enflamement increases Changli's Crit. Rate by 25% for 8s.

Is it worth getting?

Stat-leaning S2: Enflamement increases Changli's Crit. Clear damage, but it does not rewrite Changli’s rotation the way a mechanic Sequence would.

S3Learned Secrets

Resonance Liberation Radiance of Fealty DMG is increased by 80%.

Is it worth getting?

Situational S3: Adds RES / DEF shred or a large DMG Bonus clause.

S4Polished Words

After Intro Skill is cast, all team members' ATK is increased by 20% for 30s.

Is it worth getting?

Side-grade: Raises party ATK from a Stellarealm / team aura. Happy if it drops; not a planned stopping point.

S5Sacrificed GainsSkip

Heavy Attack Flaming Sacrifice's Multiplier is increased by 50% and its DMG dealt is increased by 50%.

Is it worth getting?

Late luxury: Heavy Attack Flaming Sacrifice's Multiplier is increased by 50% and its DMG dealt is increased by 50%. Grab it if you overshoot toward S6 — never hard-pity for S5 alone.

S6Realized PlansSkip

Resonance Skill Tripartite Flames, Heavy Attack Flaming Sacrifice, and Resonance Liberation Radiance of Fealty ignore an additional 40% of the target's DEF when dealing damage.

Is it worth getting?

Whale ceiling: Adds RES / DEF shred or a large DMG Bonus clause. Only chase if Changli is your dedicated main and S0–S2 already feel finished.

Changli is fully usable at S0. Most dedicated mains stop at S2 before chasing higher Wavebands. First stop: S2. Endgame target: S2.
