Blazing Brilliance

R1Best

Changli's signature weapon that's not only fantastic for her but also usable on all damage-focused Sword users who have a large portion of their damage originating from Resonance Skill damage. Offers a huge main stat of CRIT DMG% granting excellent scaling, 12% permanent ATK% and up to 56% increased Resonance Skill DMG% which should be at or close to full power during the bulk of your rotation when opening with one or two resonance skills.

Emerald of Genesis

R1

Outstanding Sword choice, offering significantly higher base damage due to its 5★ rarity, as well as a stackable ATK% buff almost every character can effortlessly get 1 stack of (but with 2 also being easily achievable by most when played correctly). Additionally has a good amount of Energy Regen, which on most characters will allow one sub-stat of Energy Regen to be allocated elsewhere to increase damage even further. Best Sword choice across the board with only S5 4★ Swords having a chance to compete with it.

Lumingloss

R5

Sword option for Heavy and Basic ATK users with an easy to trigger passive - with the only downside being its 10 second time limit. For characters that use their Skill multiple times per rotation, this downside is a non-issue but for Main DPS characters who take up a lot of field time and don't use their skill often this sword can lose value.

Endless Collapse

R5

Often inferior to Commando of Conviction for DPS, this sword is still a great F2P 4* option for characters who need the energy boost. Realistically however, only consider this option over Commando of Conviction if you have energy problems on your character.

Lunar Cutter

R5

Powerful sword for Resonators spending minimal time on the field - the shorter the better. Best for Hybrid characters executing their rotation fast and infrequently, but less powerful on Main DPS characters that aim to spend extended time on field.

Yangyang build summary

Blazing Brilliance is the weapon to build around. Without it, Emerald of Genesis, Lumingloss and Endless Collapse are the next picks, in that order.

On the Moonlit Clouds set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Aero DMG on the 3-cost, Aero DMG > ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > ATK > Liberation DMG% > Basic DMG%.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S5 (+85% Liberation DMG), S3 (+40% Skill DMG) and S6 (+20% Team ATK). Level Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → Forte Circuit → Basic Attack → Intro Skill.

Ascension needs 46× Roaring Rock Fist above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
