Wide Range Attacks with High DMG Output

She is a great Sub DPS with a wide attack range and high damage output. She can also deal damage without being present in battle, and the overall damage output is as high as the strongest Main DPS characters.

Outro Skill offers Great Support

Her Outro Skill can increase Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG. She is a great match with Calcharo since he can benefit from both effects, so you want to use them in the same party.

Deals DMG without being in Battle

She can apply the Sinner's Mark with her Basic ATK, Resonance Liberation and Intro Skill. Then by using her Forte Circuit after that the mark changes to a Punishment Mark. The Punishment Mark stays effective even after switching to another character so she can continue to deal more damage.

How to Use Yinlin

Gain Judgment Points

To activate the Forte Circuit that is needed to apply the Sinner's Mark, you need to fill up the Judgment Points gauge. It's best to do this using the Resonance Skill so combine that with Basic Attacks to gain Judgment Points.

How to Gain and Use Judgment Points

Perform Follow-up Attacks

Yinlin can perform follow-up attacks by applying 2 kinds of marks on enemies. The Sinner's Mark activates a follow-up attack when using Resonance Skill. In addition, enemies with the Punishment Mark take damage from follow-up attacks that are activated after any kind of attack. This has a wide range so it's ideal for fighting against multiple enemies.

How to Apply Marks

Punishment Mark Remains after Switching Characters

Yinlin's Punishment Mark stays effective even if you switch characters. If Yinlin is your Sub DPS, switch to your Main DPS after using the Forte Circuit to attack.

Best Match with Electro DPS

Yinlin activates a Electro DMG buff when using the Outro Skill so she is a great match with Electro Attackers like Calcharo. In addition to that, She also can continue the follow-up attacks after switching to a different character so she can deal extra damage after using the Outro Skill.

Yinlin - Best Resonance Chain

Get Resonance Chain 3 or 4

If Yinlin has R3, you can increase the damage output of her primary skills, the Forte Circuit and Resonance Skill. At R4 she can increase ATK for the whole team by 20% with her Resonance Liberation so if you want her as a Sub DPS and Buffer you want to get R4.
