Banyue Rupture Team

character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Only adds Perfect Block, Daze, and survivability; no significant damage scaling, so level last. | |
 assist | Provides Daze from Defensive Assist; not a core damage source, so delay investing. | |
 chain attack | Boosts Chain Attack and Ultimate burst, and both directly enter Visage of Wrath. | |
 core skill | Grants the main Sheer Force and Fire DMG buff, making it the backbone of every Visage of Wrath rotation. | |
 basic attack | Deals most damage and includes Immolate/Toppling Mountain, which enter and exit Visage of Wrath; keep it maxed. | |
 special attack | Scales all EX Special Attack variants, which form the core combo loop and trigger Visage of Wrath synergy. |
