Best Hiyuki teams

Hiyuki Glacio ChafeSS

Lucilla completes the premium Glacio Chafe core — clears both single-target and multi-wave endgame with ease.

Hiyuki Glacio BurstSS

Lynae's Tune Break and Liberation buff stacking feeds straight into Hiyuki's nuke windows, while Chisa raises the max stack ceiling on Glacio Chafe so each burst lands harder — a heavier-hitting alternative to Hiyuki's standard Echo-focused rotation.
