Banyue Rupture Team
Banyue's Rupture core pairs Stun and Support that amplify CRIT DMG, max HP, and Sheer Force.
character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 chain attack | Ultimate - The World Trembles doubles as a Wrath trigger and fills the ultimate gauge with no extra stat upgrades needed; only mod priority matters here. | |
 special attack | Phase II sequence (Earth Shaker/Mountain Tremor/One's Path/Lion's Roar) deals massive Fire DMG; Phase III chains follow up the same way. Also consumes Mountain's Might to spare Adrenaline. | |
 dodge | Stun window from Dodge: Immovable Mountain feeds Parry → Shatter; Chain Attack auto-enters Visage of Wrath if WF ≥ 120, so it pays off once C-skill and BAs are maxed. | |
 assist | ATK buff from Assist Follow-Up, Daze from Defensive Assist. Earn 4 WF per use on landing; keep at moderate priority. | |
 basic attack | Core moves like Basic Attack: Immolate and Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain drive high-output attacks, including setup for Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault modes. | |
 core skill | Improves the passive that converts Fire DMG to Sheer Force, the primary damage multiplier. |
