Best Echo Sets for Yangyang
5‑piece Moonlit Clouds is best for support/sub-DPS: Yangyang's Outro buffs the ATK of the swapping-in character, making her more team-support oriented.
5‑piece Sierra Gale increases Aero DMG and makes Yangyang more damage-oriented, but reduces the team buff utility compared to Moonlit Clouds.
Mixing 2‑piece Sierra Gale + 2‑piece Moonlit Clouds is an acceptable interim option if you don't have full 5‑piece sets. Provides a balance between damage and support.
Yangyang's Best Primary Echo
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Provides team shield protection when Yangyang is Sub‑DPS, increases damage dealt and reduces incoming damage. Shield can transfer to the next character. Recommended main echo for support/sub-DPS playstyle.
Nightmare: Feilian Beringal
Increases Yangyang's overall Aero DMG. Good when building Yangyang as a damage dealer or damage-oriented sub-DPS.
Impermanence Heron
Restores Resonance Energy to help cast her Ultimate more often. Also increases the next character's damage, useful for semi-support roles.

Best Tips & Tricks for Yangyang
Best Teams for Yangyang
Yangyang Early Game Team (Echo Set)
Yangyang uses her Outro Skill to feed Resonance Energy to Rover (Spectro) so Rover can charge their Resonance Liberation., General rotation:, 1) Start on Yangyang: charge Concerto Energy until allies' Resonator icons glow. Use Liberation to group enemies and Resonance Skill to deal initial damage, then swap., 2) Switch to Rover (Spectro) when fully charged: use their Intro Skill to deal Spectro DMG. Switching from Yangyang restores Rover's Resonance Energy., 3) When Rover's Resonance Liberation is available, cast it for AoE Spectro DMG, follow with Basic Attacks to charge Forte Gauge, use Resonance Skill, then finish with more Basic Attacks., 4) Swap back to Yangyang once her Intro Skill is charged. If healing is required, switch to Baizhi and use their healing skill., 5) Repeat the cycle until enemies are defeated.
Alternative Yangyang Teams (examples)
Yangyang is flexible and can slot into many teams as a sub-DPS / energy battery., Use the same energy-feed principle: have Yangyang use Outro to restore a main DPS's Resonance Energy so they can consistently use Liberation during their window., Pick a support/healer (Shorekeeper, Verina, Baizhi) depending on team needs (healing, shielding, or additional buffs).
