Gameplay Summary
Yinlin is a versatile Electro-attribute attacker who is able to fill the main DPS and sub DPS roles. She specializes in mid-range combat with the goal of building up her Forte gauge (Judgement points) using basic attacks and her Resonance Skill Magnetic Roar.
Attacking enemies with basic attacks, her Resonance Skill, and her Resonance Liberation Thundering Wrath will also apply the unique Sinner’s Mark on targets.
Upon filling up Yinlin’s Forte gauge, her heavy attack is replaced with Chameleon Cipher which applies Punishment Marks on all enemies under the Sinner’s Mark. This causes enemies to take additional electro damage whenever they are hit and remains active even when Yinlin exits the field.
Basic Strategy
| Yinlin Basic Strategy |
|---|
|
Accumulate Judgement Points using basic attacks and Resonance Skills.
Damaging enemies with Yinlin’s basic attacks and Resonance Skill does two things. First, they allow her to mark targets with the Sinner’s Mark. Second, Yinlin will accumulate Judgement Points to fill her Forte gauge to be able to use Chameleon Cipher to change the Sinner’s Mark applied to enemies into the more potent Punishment Mark.
When Yinlin’s Forte gauge is full, use heavy attacks to change Sinner’s Mark applied to enemies into the Punishment Mark.
Once Yinlin’s Forte guage is full, hit enemies under Sinner’s Mark with Chameleon Cipher to apply Punishment Marks on them. Once an enemy is under the Punishment Mark, a follow-up Electro attack will occur each time the enemy takes damage, greatly increasing your DPS in battle. The Sinner’s Mark of all enemies hit Chameleon Cipher will change, so try to use the move on as many enemies as possible.
Switch Yinlin out with an Electro DPS character.
Note that the effects of Punishment Marks will remain active for 18 seconds even after Yinlin leaves the field. This means that switching her out with a high DPS character will let you stack massive amounts of damage to enemies under the Punishment mark.
Swapping Yinlin out with an Electro DPS character is especially recommended as the former’s Outro Skill will bestow a buff to the entering ally that increases their Electro damage and Resonance Liberation skill damage. It is for this reason that Yinlin is best paired with the high DPS Electro attacker Calcharo if you plan to use her as a sub DPS for the team.

Focus on enhancing damage output.
As an Electro main DPS, Yinlin benefits the most from gaining increased Electro damage output. Because of this, it is recommended to build him on the 5-piece Void Thunder Sonata Effect. Your 4-cost main slot Echo should be Thundering Mephis which increase critical hit rate. For sub slot Echoes, go for the 3-cost Violet-Feathered Heron and Floutist to gain Electro damage bonuses, and 1-cost Aero Predator and Traffic Illuminator for increased attack damage.

Increase critical hit rate or attack.
For Yinlin, try to get weapons that increase his critical hit rate or raw damage output (attack) to further boost her DPS as the team’s main attacker.
Currently, the best choice for Yinlin is her signature 5★ rectifier weapon Stringmaster (limited) which is obtainable only from the Weapon Event Convene “Absolute Pulsation” banner. If you do not manage to get it, then the 5★ Cosmic Ripples is your next best option which provides a large attack boost alongside its already naturally high attack power.
