Xiangli Yao's kit
Xiangli Yao is a 5-Star Electro character who uses Gauntlets.
Keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, and this is leaked beta information from encore.moe that could change upon his official release, here's a brief summary of Xiangli Yao's kit in Wuthering Waves:
- Rarity: 5-Star.
- Element: Electro.
- Weapon: Gauntlets.
- Basic Attack: Probe.
- Resonance Skill: Deduction.
- Enhanced Resonance Skill 1 (with 100 Capacity): Decipher.
- Enhanced Resonance Skill 2 (in Intuition): Divergence.
- Enhanced Resonance Skill 3 (in Intuition with 5 Performance Capacity): Law of Reigns.
- Resonance Liberation: Cogitation Model.
- Forte Circuit: Forever Seeking.
- Intro Skill: Principle - Xiangli Yao attacks the target with Electro damage.
- Outro Skill: Chain Rule - When the incoming Resonator's Basic Attack hits a target, Xiangli Yao will attack the same target, dealing Electro damage equal to 237.63% of his attack. This attack can be triggered once every two seconds, up to three times.
- Inherent Skill 1: Knowing - Xiangli Yao gains a 15% Electro damage bonus.
- Inherent Skill 2: Focus - When in the Intuition mode triggered by his Resonance Liberation, Xiangli Yao's resistance to interruption is enhanced.
Xiangli Yao's kit is built around obtaining Capacity and Performance Capacity stacks, while managing the Intuition mode that activates after his Resonance Liberation is used.
Xiangli Yao can hold up to 100 Capacity, and he obtains Capacity for every Probe Basic Attack and Deduction Resonance Skill on hit. When Xiangli Yao has 100 Capacity, his Deduction Resonance Skill is replaced with Decipher, which is considered Resonance Liberation damage.
However, when in the Intuition mode triggered by his Resonance Liberation, Xiangli Yao cannot obtain Capacity, and instead builds Performance Capacity. He can hold up to five Performance Capacity, with one gained as soon as his Resonance Liberation is activated, one when Stage 1 of his Pivot Impale Basic Attack hits a target, two when Stage 2 and 3 of Pivot Impale hits a target, and two for every Resonance Skill Divergence on hit. Finally, Xiangli Yao obtains three Performance Capacity for every Revamp Mid-air Attack on hit.
When Xiangli Yao is in the Intuition mode with five Performance Capacity stacks, his Divergence Resonance Skill is replaced with Law of Reigns, which is also considered Resonance Liberation damage.
