Best Tips & Tricks for Lingyang

Focus on upgrading Forte Circuit to max first as it drives most of Lingyang's damage.
Upgrade Normal Attack and Resonance Skill in parallel to maintain strong combos.
Use Resonance Liberation mainly to enable Striding Lion and boost Glacio DMG Bonus.
Choose the 5-piece Frosty Resolve echo set after reaching Rinascita for best synergy.
If you don’t have Frosty Resolve, use 5-piece Freezing Frost or 2-piece Freezing Frost + 2-piece Lingering Tunes sets.
Prioritize CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG as main stats for echo; ATK% is useful as a low-cost option.
Substats should prioritize CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG first, then Basic Attack DMG Bonus.
Upgrade Lingyang’s Forte Circuit to enhance empowered attacks and apply Striding Lion effects.

Best Teams for Lingyang

Lingyang Premium Glacio Team

Premium setup. Echo set recommendations: Lingyang — Frosty Resolve (5-pc); Zhezhi — Empyrean Anthem (5-pc); Shorekeeper — Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc). This team places Lingyang as the main DPS with Zhezhi providing Sub-DPS buffs and Shorekeeper offering additional buffs and healing.

1. Open with the Shorekeeper, and charge her Resonance Liberation as well as the Concerto Energy, while summoning Butterflies with her Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill., 2. Use Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation when it is available. Switch to Zhezhi once Concerto Energy is maxed out to trigger Zhezhi's Intro Skill for Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation., 3. Use Zhezhi's optimal rotation to summon 3 Phantasmic Imprints, enabling her to execute her full combo. This should help charge both her Resonance Liberation and Concerto Energy., 4. Use Zhezhi's Resonance Liberation, and swap out to Lingyang with maximum Concerto Energy to give him Zhezhi's Outro Skill buff., 5. Once Lingyang is on-field, rotate through his combos to maximize damage while Zhezhi and Shorekeeper's buffs persist. Make sure to charge Concerto Energy again as well., 6. Once Lingyang has gone through his rotations, switch to Shorekeeper with max Concerto Energy to have her detonate her Resonance Liberation's Field. Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Lingyang F2P Friendly Team

Free-to-play friendly team using 4-star resonators. Echo set recommendations: Lingyang — Frosty Resolve (5-pc); Sanhua — Moonlit Clouds (5-pc); Baizhi — Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc). Both Sanhua and Baizhi are obtainable for free, making this an accessible option for F2P players.

1. Start with Sanhua until she's built up enough Concerto Energy to activate her Outro Skill., 2. Once Sanhua's built up enough Concerto Energy and the other party members' icons are glowing, swap out to Lingyang to boost his Basic Attacks with Sanhua's Outro Skill., 3. Activate Striding Lion as soon as possible to buff Lingyang's Basic Attacks and maximize his damage output., 4. Swap out to your support whenever you need to heal, or to apply their buffs. Swap back to Sanhua and start building up Concerto Energy again, or swap to Sanhua directly if you don't need your support to do either., 5. Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.
