Yixuan
Pull Yixuan if you need a premier Ether Rupture Main DPS. She converts HP into Sheer Force, ignores enemy DEF, and clears endgame as an on-field hypercarry with strong self-survivability from Ultimate HP redistribution. Best with Lucia (or Pan Yinhu) plus an off-field Stun partner like Ju Fufu or Dialyn — without that shell she still works, but her ceiling drops. Skip or delay if your account already has a finished Ether / Rupture carry and you still need Ice Anomaly (Miyabi) or a different attribute gap filled first. M0 is enough to clear; Mindscapes raise ceiling, they are not required to justify the pull.
Yixuan is an S-Rank Ether Rupture Main DPS who converts HP and ATK into Sheer Force, dealing Auric Ink Sheer DMG that ignores enemy DEF. She banks Adrenaline into Technique Points for a dual-Ultimate burst loop, stays on-field through Perfect Dodges and Assists, and brings self-survivability via HP redistribution — but she is the team's damage dealer, not a support flex.

Strengths
- Top-tier on-field Rupture DPS with DEF-ignoring Sheer Force damage
- HP scaling makes her naturally tanky while feeding personal damage
- Dual Ultimate loop (Decibel + Technique Point) creates huge stun-window burst
- Perfect Dodge / Assist synergy refunds Adrenaline and enables fluid field control
- Ultimate HP redistribution keeps hypercarry teams alive without a dedicated healer
Weaknesses
- Demands heavy field time to bank Adrenaline and Technique Points before stun
- Reliant on specific teammates (Rupture supports / off-field stunners) for peak output
- PEN, DEF shred, and Energy Regen buffs do little — many generalist supports underperform
- Damage spikes when enemies are aggressive enough for Perfect Dodges / Assists
- Complex resource loop (Adrenaline → Technique Points → dual Ultimates) has a real skill floor
Skill Priority
Largest personal damage multiplier — level first.
Primary EX Special damage during and outside stun.
Dual Ultimates are her biggest stun-window burst tools.
Auric Array / Qingming Eruption still matter for resources and damage.
Utility / Adrenaline from Perfect Dodges — lowest priority.
Stat Priority
Out of stun: build Adrenaline with Basics / Perfect Dodges, spend EX Special: Ink Manifestation on enemy attacks for refunds, and aim for 90–100+ Adrenaline entering stun.
In stun: Cloud-Shaper → Ultimate: Endless Talisman Suppression → Chain to Stunner → Chain back to Yixuan → Ultimate: Qingming Skyshade → more Cloud-Shapers. Reserve Auric Array for post-stun Adrenaline recovery.
Bank Adrenaline into Technique Points before stun, then dump Cloud-Shaper EX Specials and both Ultimates in the stun window. Stunners and Supports exist to enable her field time — she is the damage owner.

S-Rank W-Engines
HP%
CRIT Rate increases by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper launches an EX Special Attack, the character gains 1 stack of Qingming Companion effect, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 15s. On entering combat, immediately gain 2 stacks. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of the Qingming Companion effect increases the equipper's Ether DMG by 8/9.2/10.4/11.6/12.8%, and increases Ultimate and EX Special Attack Ether Sheer DMG by 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%.
Why it works —Signature BiS. Passive CRIT Rate and HP% feed her Sheer Force scaling, while Qingming Companion stacks directly boost the Ether Sheer DMG on the EX Specials and Ultimates she spams every rotation.
HP%
CRIT Rate increases by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper launches an EX Special Attack, their Fire Sheer DMG increases by 9/10.35/11.7/13.05/14.4%, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 20s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Why it works —Banyue's signature — works as a borrowed Rupture S-rank stick. HP% and the big passive CRIT Rate both feed her kit; Fire Sheer DMG is dead weight on Auric Ink. Temporary bridge until Qingming Birdcage or Cauldron, not a permanent BiS.
A-Rank W-Engines
HP%
When the equipper activates an EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's DMG by 4/4.6/5.2/5.8/6.4%, up to 3 stacks, and lasting 20s. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s, and repeated triggers reset the duration. At 3 stacks, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by 6.5/7.5/8.5/9.4/10.4%.
Why it works —Best non-signature option. Yixuan fires EX Specials constantly for Technique Points, so the 3-stack DMG and CRIT Rate buffs stay maxed with almost no downtime.
HP%
When launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate, the equipper gains 1 stack of a buff effect. Each stack increases the equipper's Sheer Force by 80/92/104/116/128, stacking up to 3 times, and lasting 12s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.
Why it works —Battle Pass Rupture engine. Flat Sheer Force stacks line up with her Chain + dual-Ultimate stun burst, and the HP% secondary is a real stat for her. Strong if you already own it — still behind Cauldron for most accounts because stacks need Chain or Ultimate uptime.
ATK%
Upon launching an EX Special Attack, the equipper's CRIT DMG increases by 16/18.4/20.8/23.2/25.6% for 12s. Additionally, if the target's current HP is below 50% of their Max HP, EX Special Attack DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32%.
Why it works —Best freely craftable Rupture pick. Guaranteed CRIT DMG on every EX Special; the extra EX DMG when the enemy is below 50% HP is a free execute bonus. Main trade-off is ATK% secondary instead of HP% — still the strongest free path to her.

HP%
Upon entering combat or switching in, the equipper's ATK increases by 7.2/8.2/9.3/10.4/11.5% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s.
Why it works —Starter B-rank Rupture engine. HP% secondary is the real reason to equip it; the ATK buff on switch-in is minor. Use only until Puzzle Sphere or Cauldron is available.
