Strengths & Weaknesses

Jianxin

Strengths
  • Liberation “Purification Force Field” hits every nearby target in one cast — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
  • Forte “Primordial Chi Spiral” applies shield or damage reduction for the active Resonator, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Transcendence” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
Weaknesses
  • Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Transcendence”.
  • ER / Concerto investment competes with DPS Echo farming until Liberation is reliable.

Yangyang

Strengths
  • Liberation “Wind Spirals” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — team value spikes when this window is online every rotation.
  • Forte “Echoing Feathers” routes damage through mid-air / plunging attack chains, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
  • Outro “Whispering Breeze” keeps the incoming Resonator topped while the rest of the squad stays in the heal aura.
Weaknesses
  • Value collapses if you cannot use the Amplification niche on Outro “Whispering Breeze”.
  • 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.
