Banyue Best Teams and Bangboo

Banyue Rupture Team

Banyue's best team consists of a Stun unit and a Support unit that provide buffs tailored for Rupture units. Pair him with Dialyn whose skills significantly increase CRIT DMG, and Lucia whose skills significantly increase Max HP and Sheer Force.

Banyue Skill Priority

Prioritise upgrading Banyue’s core and basic attacks first, as they provide the bulk of his damage and the key buffs for his Visage of Wrath state. Dodge and Assist can be upgraded later, mainly for defensive utility and the Daze from Defensive Assist. Special Attack and Chain Attack are important for finishing combos and triggering the Visage of Wrath, but they rely on the earlier skills.

SkillPriorityExplanation
core_skillcore skill
Upgrade the Core Skill first to unlock the "One With the Mountains" passive, which turns all fire damage into sheer damage and gives a huge damage multiplier based on Max HP. It also provides the initial adrenaline and the ability to build Wrathful Fires for the Visage of Wrath state.
basic_attackbasic attack
Maximise Basic Attack to generate the most damage and to trigger the Visage of Wrath. The Immolate move consumes Wrathful Fires to enter the state, while Toppling Mountain and Crushing Peaks are the main finishers that exit the state.
special_attackspecial attack
Special Attacks are essential for chaining into the Visage of Wrath and for dealing high burst fire damage. They consume adrenaline or Mountain’s Might and are the core of Banyue’s combo system.
chain_attackchain attack
Chain Attack and Ultimate allow Banyue to enter the Visage of Wrath directly and to chain into other combos. They are powerful but rely on having enough Wrathful Fires and the earlier skills.
dodgedodge
Dodge is mainly for defensive purposes. The Immovable Mountain parry grants a perfect block and a small amount of Wrathful Fires, but otherwise it offers little offensive benefit. Upgrade it at a slower pace.
assistassist
Assist provides defensive support and the Daze from Defensive Assist. It’s useful for crowd control but can be delayed until later upgrades.

Banyue: Blazestone Heart

He carries a righteous, unshakable aura — every bit the master he is. Don't judge him by his silence; a stone heart makes no sound, and compassion doesn't speak aloud either.
