Banyue

- High invulnerability frames during EX and finisher sequences
- Excellent self-sustain through HP-based resource management
- Requires high technical play to time parries for Wrathful Fires
- Vulnerable to damage during the health-draining setup phase
- Strict rotation window when Visage of Wrath is active
Yixuan
- 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

- 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
