Strengths
- Liberation “Fortune's Favor” youhu hurls her scroll at the enemy, causing a glacio dmg blast in the area — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
- Forte “Poetic Essence” restores HP across threatened allies while banking Concerto, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Timeless Classics” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Skill “Scroll Divination” seeds coordinated pressure so Youhu still contributes after leaving the field.
Weaknesses
- Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Timeless Classics”.
- ER / Concerto investment competes with DPS Echo farming until Liberation is reliable.
- 4★ ceiling is real — expect to rotate them out when a premium option takes the same niche.

Team Compositions
Calcharo core with Youhu: Yinlin brings Liberation amp. Youhu opens Stellarealm / heals, then Calcharo takes the buffed damage window. Calcharo is presented here because Youhu's buffs matter more with Main DPS characters that do lower DMG, where Yinlin's own DMG matters more.
Calcharo is the on-fielder this shell is built around — Youhu keeps them alive and buffed through Liberation.
As such, Yinlin, who has the highest DMG of any characters of that type, is the most natural pairing for her.
Youhu enables this shell — keep Outro / setup online every rotation for Calcharo + Yinlin.
