Which Echo Set is Xiangli Yao's Best?

With all of the sweat and tears involved with building characters, one area of progression you don't want to re-do is your echo-farming. Most characters have an obvious best-in-slot echo set, but for Xiangli Yao, this isn't the case.

Big shoutout to @Maygi for her incredible work on Xiangli Yao's calculations. Please check out her video if you're looking for an in-depth run-down on his rotation and numbers.

Yeah as someone who is kinda tired of the clunkiness of Void Thunder and the ineffectiveness of it's two 4 cost echoes, I went with Lingering Tunes for my Xiangli Yao, and boy is he fun as hell to play. I never used Mech Abomination before so you can imagine my pleasant surprise when it turned out to be a summon type echo instead of a transformation type, which also hits every single enemy in its radius rather than being single target while *also* hitting harder than I expected.
Like yeah I know I can get *sliiiightly* higher damager numbers with void thunder, but lingering tunes just makes playing him much more fun cuz I don't have to jump through any hoops to make ti work while having a MUCH better 4 cost echo

[kurokage]

Whatever it is, I just like that we have a character who can actually use lingering tunes and seems reasonable. This set felt out of place for me at first but now its shining

Lingering for Main DPS, Void Thunder for Quickswap.

Also Rejuvenating Glow and the 3-star healing gauntlet if you're crazy enough.

Electro Sonata Set for an Electro Character... Simple as That. Even though the Void Thunder's buff is really difficult to acquire, it "should" be the best option. Since Xiangli cannot use a Heavy ATK and Resonance Skill during his Liberation, lingering tunes might be better. But... I think we can agree that most of us have a built Void Thunder Set from Calcharo which we all gave Xiangli 😂

[SNGeeee]

I honestly went with LT, just because I like the main echo more. Whether I lose some %in dmg, as long as it is not like a 10% dmg loss I dont really care. It's something new and fresh to stay engaged while waiting for new content.

Great chracter and great video.

[VerkoAviarhidea]

LT for Hypercarry, VT for quickswap or Double DPS. We don't have a lot of ATK buffing characters so majority of your numbers are from DMG%, so LT scales well when Xiangli is getting hyperbuffed.

[Tsareenai]

I prefer Lingering over Void bc the 4* LT echo is a summon. Both the memphis are transform and are on top of that the worst 4* echoes so far in the game. You're better off using the 3* flautist as your main echo if you want to use void.. But using flautist and swap is kinda tricky to do

[carloconsignado]

If Kuro follows the trend of PGR, VT will be reworked. In PGR, they reworked outdated memory sets and those updates made ghe outdated sets meta for tanks. If they follow through with Wuwa, somehow I hope they rework VT because VT really is a pain to use just to get the 5pc bonus.

Debate also thrives ingame, his trailer and story feature Mech Abomination, but he ascends with Tempest Mephis mats.
Devs cooked, loving it 😊

[V.vincenzoo]

i lost xiangli yaos event after getting back 1 day after...and pulling for him using my guarentee. THATS THE PAIN

[saraiknowsit]

I… actually use a split of both! Which sounds crazy I know, but I farmed Void Thunder for him, heard Lingering Tunes was better, and started refarming for a second time… I haven’t finished yet so I’ve settled for just picking my best pieces from both sets which honestly has been working great for me so far- so I’m mostly fine with it haha! Suboptimal yes, but he already does enough damage as is it doesn’t concern me too much, I mostly play for the story anyways.

[juliogomez]

I'll stick to void like many cause refarming a new set aside from the pain of getting the right subs involves credits and other materials that we just don't have in abundance. Being inefficient is actually the most efficient way to go.

[Zavoc_]

The thing is most of the teams in Wuwa are quick swap teams and Xiangli feels like the same even if you wanna give him LT set and make him stay on field it's just for those 5 or 6 seconds you have to swap back again and do all the sub dps stuff.. I've tried it myself (Yao and Changli team) so I can say quick swap kills enemies faster no matter bosses or regular mobs so VT fits well on him.. if you are forced to stay on field with him longer that's a potential loss.

[philipblaskowski]

VT doesn't care if the Heavy Attack hits or not, so you can just buffer a heavy attack and immediately cancel the start up with his Liberation(unironically kara cancelling). You can get the full VT effect right before his strongest rotation.

[Yewrenegade]

Let's be real here, only why most people go for void thunder set is because they built Calcharo and there wasn't any other electro character on release at that time besides Yuanwu and he only scales with defence, Yinlin would come out as a sub DPS, works well on electro and Moonlit. I'd say do what you do like, but lingering tunes for me cuz Xiangli doesn't use heavy attacks and I like not reliant on switch strat too often, making my Xiangli man a dps

[TalkingRaven_]

I really just picked Lingering Tunes simply because of its 4 Cost. I think the added convenience and raw damage of Mech Abomination (around 700% atk as electro per cast) is already enough for it to be justified even when playing with a dual dps team.

I may be losing my sonata set buff but I ain't losing my mind trying to activate my echo buff.

[yurcchello]

many people commented here that they used 2p+2p. just calculated briefly and looks like 2p+2p is equal to Lingering Tunes 4p set. Void Thunder 4p set gives 17% more dmg bonus which is 2-3 substats. so, 2p+2p set is on par with VT set when have 2 more substats (or 1 cr/cd substat)

[toxicdermyillunary]

something I notice is that Yinlin buff also last only for 14 seconds. so if you pair Yinlin and Xiangli Yao you can just get the buff, pop ult and then play until Yinlin buff is off repeat rotation

[kamixakadio]

Im staying optimistic about VT, just waiting for a new 4-cost that doesnt give bad bonuses like Tempest, or takes up alot of time like Thundering, and the 5 piece activation clause needs a little change.
