Liang Yue — Review & Analysis

Liang Yue
Liang Yue is a survival-support and sub-DPS of the Star Afflatus (6★, S+ tier): her Ultimate deals AoE Reality DMG while blanketing the whole team with Immunity and 6 stacks of Ward Evil, and self-applies Arise, Qiangliang! to kick-start her engine. Her two Incantations split roles cleanly — one offensive (armor penetration, generating Show of Force), one protective (the Ward Off Calamity shield, generating Reassurance) — letting her lean offense or defense per fight. The core is her passive: banking 6 points to unleash Eight Spirits Overawe, with every point spent also spreading Ward Evil, so the longer the fight the better the team is warded.
Strengths
  • One-button Ultimate that bundles offense and defense: AoE Reality DMG + Immunity + 6 stacks of Ward Evil for the whole team, while self-applying Arise, Qiangliang!.
  • Flexible Incantation pair — the offensive card carries penetration (+30% at tier 2, +80% at tier 3), the protective card stacks the Ward Off Calamity shield over rounds.
  • Self-fueling team armor: every Show of Force/Reassurance spent also spreads 1 stack of Ward Evil, and reaching 6 points unleashes Eight Spirits Overawe.
  • Enters battle with +10% Crit Rate and +3 Moxie, helping her reach her Ultimate early with baseline crit.
Weaknesses
  • The Star Afflatus is countered by Plant, taking extra damage and playing at a disadvantage against Plant enemies.
  • Reliant on her stack engine: she must keep Arise, Qiangliang! up and bank 6 Show of Force/Reassurance to fire Eight Spirits Overawe — before the engine is running, both her damage and team warding drop off.
Build Priority

Prioritize the Ultimate first, since it starts Arise, Qiangliang! and delivers Immunity + 6 stacks of Ward Evil — the team's survival axis. Then level whichever Incantation your team needs: the penetration Show of Force card for an offensive lean, the Ward Off Calamity shield card for a defensive lean. For Psychube: she both deals damage and shoulders survival, so if you push her damage role, pick an ATK/Crit type to leverage her built-in +10% crit and penetration hits; if you run her as a protective anchor, favor a buff-effect/durability type so the team keeps Ward Evil longer.

Teams with Liang Yue

Crit Moxie Recital · Crit

Liang Yue, Desert Flannel and Buddy Fairchild all tap into Crit together with Moxie — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Name Day keeps the line-up alive with Heal so that payoff has time to land.

Teams →
Rank Up Crit Burst · RankUp

Mercuria's Ultimate is the only kit in the roster confirmed to grant 【Rank Up】 to the whole team, and the same cast dispels enemy buffs while stacking party-wide Crit Rate — both feed straight into Argus, whose passive already locks in a guaranteed Crit and whose own second skill dispels the target's buffs independently, so the two dispels rarely whiff. Hissabeth adds a second wide Mental nuke that runs almost entirely off her own card engine, needing nothing from the other three to keep firing. Yenisei keeps all three offense-first kits alive long enough to land their bursts.
