Best Echo Sets for Yinlin

Moonlit Clouds
5pc
Moonlit Clouds

Moonlit Clouds is the best Echo set for Yinlin as a Sub-DPS, focusing on providing buffs to the main DPS through the set buffs and Impermanence Heron. While it reduces her own damage, the utility outweighs the damage loss.

Empyrean Anthem
5pc
Empyrean Anthem

Provides buffs to both the active Resonator and Yinlin through Critical Coordinated Attacks. Less consistent due to reliance on marks triggering Coordinated Attacks.

Void Thunder
5pc
Void Thunder

Fallback set if lacking DPS units. Use Nightmare version of Tempest Mephis as main Echo. Early game can use normal version of this echo.

Yinlin's Best Primary Echo

Impermanence Heron

Impermanence Heron

Currently best-in-slot for Yinlin. Restores Yinlin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Yinlin.

Nightmare: Tempest Mephis

Nightmare: Tempest Mephis

Increases the Coordinated Attack DMG of Yinlin significantly while buffing her Electro DMG and Resonance Skill DMG. Great for Yinlin as an Electro DPS or Sub-DPS.

Tempest Mephis

Tempest Mephis

Viable for a DPS Yinlin with Void Thunder set. Requires Echo Skill to be cast before Yinlin gets buffs. Use this before Rinascita, then replace with her recommended set and Echo.

Best Tips & Tricks for Yinlin

Yinlin is a Sub-DPS who should maximize Forte Circuit for damage.
Use Moonlit Clouds 5-piece set for utility and support to main DPS rather than maximizing own damage.
Prioritize Echo stats for CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK%, with Energy Regen to ensure burst uptime.
Stringmaster is best weapon, providing CRIT Rate and ATK buffs on and off field.
If Stringmaster unavailable, use Rectifiers providing CRIT, ATK or Energy Regen.
Forte Circuit is Yinlin's top priority for Resonance Attribute upgrades, then Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation.
Use Impermanence Heron Echo to restore Resonance Energy and buff next character for team synergy.
Use Outro Skill 'Strategist' to provide Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG buffs to incoming character or nearby team.

Yinlin Free-to-Play Team

Echo sets: Havoc Eclipse (5-pc) on Rover (Havoc); Moonlit Clouds (5-pc) on Yinlin; Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc) on Baizhi.
