Strengths
- Liberation “Strive: Lion's Vigor” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Lingyang’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Unification of Spirits” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
- Dodge Counter recoveries let you rejoin the combo after a mistimed i-frame.
Weaknesses
- Field-time hungry once Liberation “Strive: Lion's Vigor” 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 Lingyang shell: Lynae brings All-DMG + Liberation amp; Zhezhi brings Skill amp. Rotation: open Lynae / Zhezhi for Concerto → Intro Lingyang → Liberation / Forte dump. Mornye is only best with Lynae on the team.
Lingyang is the on-fielder — bank Concerto on Lynae / Zhezhi, Intro in, then dump Liberation / Forte inside their amp windows.
Lynae Outros All-DMG + Liberation amp — Intro Lingyang and Liberation-dump while the amp is live.
Zhezhi is also very strong by virtue of sporting good personal damage off-field via Coordinated Attacks and amazing 20% Glacio and 25% Skill DMG buffs on Outro that Lingyang very much appreciates.
