Best Echo Sets for Yangyang: Xuanling
Yangyang Xuanling's best set is the 5-pc set, Song of Feathered Trace, as it fits her Havoc Bane core mechanic. With this set, Yangyang gets additional Crit. Rate and Heavy Attack DMG, which boosts her damage a lot.
As an alternative option, Yangyang is able to utilize a 3-2 set configuration, as Thread of Severed Fate also revolves around the Havoc Bane Negative Status. It provides additional ATK, which pairs well with the Havoc DMG buffs Havoc Eclipse provides. If you have this set, you can definitely use it on her.
The 5-pc Havoc Eclipse is a decent early alternative to Yangyang Xuanling, as it provides a lot of Havoc DMG buffs. While it pales in comparison to the benefits provided by the other sets, you can still have this while farming for her best-in-slot.
