Banyue's Core Passives

Core Passive: Mountains Like Me
Lv. 7

Banyue gains extra Sheer Force based on his Max HP, with every 1 point of Max HP increasing Sheer Force by 0.1;
All Fire DMG dealt by Banyue's skills is Sheer DMG, ignoring enemy DEF and using Sheer Force as the DMG Multiplier;
When Banyue enters the battlefield, he recovers 60 Adrenaline. In Investigation Zone mode, this effect can trigger once every 180 seconds.
When Banyue ALTs into an [EX Special Attack] through quick command inputs, the ongoing [EX Special Attack] can be interrupted. Each [EX Special Attack] has a unique perfect interrupt window. Interrupting after this perfect window will not affect the interrupted skill's attack effect. Interrupting precisely at the perfect window counts as triggering a [Perfect Cancel].
Banyue can recover [Wrathful Fire] through the following methods:
For every 1 point of Adrenaline consumed, recover 0.5 points of [Wrathful Fire];
After performing a [Defensive Assist] or successfully parrying enemy attacks with [Immovable Mountain], recover 4 points of [Wrathful Fire];
When triggering a Perfect Block, recover 6 points of [Wrathful Fire];

While in the [Visage of Wrath] state, Banyue cannot gain [Wrathful Fire]. After Banyue performs [Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain], he will exit the [Visage of Wrath] state.
When entering the [Visage of Wrath] state, Banyue gains 4 [Mountain's Might]. If Banyue has [Mountain's Might], performing an [EX Special Attack] will consume 1 [Mountain's Might] instead of Adrenaline and restore 10 points of Adrenaline. Otherwise, Adrenaline will still be consumed;
While in the [Visage of Wrath] state with [Mountain's Might], hold Special Attack to automatically perform four [EX Special Attacks] and [Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain] in a fixed sequence;
While in the [Visage of Wrath] state with [Mountain's Might], it's easier to trigger [Perfect Cancel].
When Banyue performs an [EX Special Attack] or [Assist Follow-Up], Sheer Force increases by 300 points, Fire DMG increases by 40%, CRIT DMG increases by 40% for 30 seconds. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

Additional Ability: Pinnacle

When another [Assist] or [Stun] character is in your squad:
While in [Visage of Wrath] state, when consuming [Mountain's Might] through Basic Attack ALT or Quick Input commands to trigger [EX Special Attack], Banyue gains 1 stack of [Inspire]. Each stack of [Inspire] increases her Fire DMG by 8%, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 8 seconds. Repeated triggers reset the duration;
