Banner Availability & How to Pull Yixuan
Yixuan is not currently available on any Banners. Yixuan was last available to be pulled in Version 2.0.
Yixuan's Strengths & Weaknesses
Incredibly powerful DPS that rivals with Miyabi and outshines most other DPS.
New mechanics and gameplay which makes her extremely fun to play.
Additional ability works with Stun, Support, and Defense agents while having no Faction requirements.
Yixuan does not need Mindscapes to be strong, despite having good ones.
Not many W-Engine options with her Signature being an extremely good boost compared to the rest.
Only Rupture Agent with very few dedicated Sheer Force supports, which lowers her teams possibilities.
Accumulates a ton of new mechanics that can feel overwhelming to understand at first.
Yixuan's Core Passives
Yixuan gains extra Sheer Force based on her Max HP, with every 1 point of Max HP increasing Sheer Force by 0.1.
All Auric Ink DMG Yixuan deals via her skills is Sheer DMG, ignoring enemy DEF and using her Sheer Force stat as the DMG Multiplier.
When Yixuan accumulates Auric Ink Anomaly Buildup, it uses an independent Anomaly Buildup gauge, and when triggering an Anomaly, she restores an additional 10 Adrenaline. This can trigger once every 10s.
Upon entering combat, Yixuan immediately restores all Adrenaline. In Investigation Zone Mode, this effect can only trigger once every 180s. Triggering a Perfect Dodge grants an additional 5 Adrenaline and can occur at most once per second.
When she consumes Adrenaline, Yixuan accumulates Technique Points, gaining 0.667 points for each point of Adrenaline consumed. With enough Technique Points, she can trigger an additional Ultimate: Endless Talisman Suppression. The maximum for Technique Points is 120.
The DMG dealt by Yixuan's Basic Attack: Auric Array, Basic Attack: Qingming Eruption, EX Special Attack, Assist Follow-Up, Chain Attack, and Ultimate increases by 60%.
After launching Ultimate: Endless Talisman Suppression, Yixuan gains one Auric Ink Point. She can spend an Auric Ink Point to launch Basic Attack: Auric Array.
When another character in your squad is a Stun, Support, or Defense character:
When a fellow squad member uses an Ultimate, Yixuan continuously recovers 2 Adrenaline for 10s. If Yixuan is switched out by a Perfect Assist, she automatically follows up with a lightning strike attack, dealing DMG equal to 225% of her Sheer Force and restoring an additional 5 Adrenaline.
EX Special Attack: Cloud-Shaper and EX Special Attack: Ashen Ink Becomes Shadows deal 30% increased DMG to Stunned enemies.
After activating her Ultimate, Yixuan enters the Meditation state, increasing her CRIT DMG by 40% for 15s.
