Key Takeaways:

  • Tingyun is a four-star Harmony lightning support unit that provides single target buffs and energy regeneration for an ally.
  • Her benediction buff increases the affected ally’s attack based on a percentage of their base attack.
  • Tingyun’s ultimate instantly regenerates 50 energy for an ally and gives them a huge damage percent bonus for two turns.
  • Her relic build should focus on balancing HP, defense, and attack stats, with speed and energy recharge as important substats.

Tingyun’s Kit:

Tingyun’s kit consists of her skill, ultimate, talent, and ascension abilities. Her skill grants the benediction buff to one ally, increasing their attack based on a percentage of their base attack. Her ultimate instantly regenerates 50 energy for an ally and provides a damage percent bonus. Her talent adds extra lightning damage to her basic attacks, and her ascension abilities improve her speed, attack, and energy regeneration.

Relic and Light Cone Builds:

Tingyun’s relic build should focus on balancing HP, defense, and attack stats, with speed and energy recharge as important substats. Recommended relic sets include the Messenger Traversing Hacker Space set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat set, and the Broken Keel set. For light cones, options include Chorus, Meshing Cogs, and the Past and Future light cone.

Team Comp Synergies:

Tingyun works well in hyper carry teams, consisting of one main DPS and three supports. She is best paired with harmony or nail units, and a fourth support for survival. The benediction buff synergizes well with lightning DPS units, while special considerations should be made for units with advanced forward mechanics or special turn mechanics.

Autoplay Behavior:

Tingyun’s autoplay behavior has improved since a previous patch, with her now properly targeting the main DPS and using her skill and ultimate effectively. However, there are still nuances that the AI may not account for, such as optimal buff timing and turn order considerations.
