{Banyue Best Teams and Bangboo

Banyue Rupture Team

Banyue's best team pairs him with a Stun unit and a Support unit that provide buffs tailored for Rupture units. Use Dialyn to boost CRIT DMG and Lucia to increase Max HP and Sheer Force to maximize Banyue's Rupture damage.

{Banyue Skill Priority

Banyue's talent priority focuses on maximizing damage output and combo potential. Core Skill, Basic Attack, and Special Attack are critical for his primary damage and rotation. Chain Attack is also valuable for entering the Visage of Wrath state. Dodge and Assist can be upgraded later as they provide utility but are less essential.

SkillPriorityExplanation
core_skillcore skill
Upgrade the Core Skill first to maximize Banyue's damage buff, as it directly enhances his Sheer Force and overall damage output.
basic_attackbasic attack
Prioritize Basic Attack since a large portion of his damage comes from these attacks, especially during combos. Max it out when possible.
special_attackspecial attack
Special Attack is essential for Banyue's combos and makes up a significant part of his kit. Upgrade it as much as possible.
chain_attackchain attack
Chain Attack and Ultimate allow Banyue to directly enter the Visage of Wrath state and chain into other combos. Upgrade when you can.
dodgedodge
Dodge provides Perfect Block and invulnerability, but offers limited additional benefits. Upgrade at your own pace as it's not critical early on.
assistassist
Assist can be deprioritized; its Defensive Assist provides Daze but is not essential for Banyue's core damage rotation.

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.
