Lingyang Build Guide

What to know before spending pulls

Lingyang's full Lion's Spirit and Striding Lion loop works at S0. His current build record does not publish a weapon recommendation list, so avoid treating any Gauntlet as an official best choice. Learn the Basic Attack and Furious Punches link, enter Striding Lion at full Spirit, and alternate its Basic and Skill attacks before investing in an extra copy.

Do you need the signature weapon?

Lingyang has no dedicated featured weapon and no ranked weapon list in the current build record. Abyss Surges is a standard 5-star reference with 588 ATK, 36.5% ATK, and 12.8% Energy Regen. Skill hits grant 10% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, while Basic Attack hits grant 10% Skill DMG Bonus for 8 seconds, matching his Feral Gyrate and Mountain Roamer alternation. Stonard is an accessible 4-star reference with 413 ATK and 20.3% Crit Rate, but its passive increases Liberation damage after Skill and does not directly improve the transformed Basic and Skill hits. These are mechanic comparisons, not a published ranking.

Another character copy or the weapon?

S1 means Lingyang's first Resonance Chain upgrade. It improves interruption resistance during Lion's Vigor, making the extended Striding Lion window harder to disrupt, but it does not add damage or Lion's Spirit. Abyss Surges instead supplies ATK, Energy Regen, and bonuses that alternate between Basic and Skill hits. Choose S1 for comfort during Liberation or a weapon for broader stats; the full 100-Spirit loop works without either.

Advice for your account

Easy rotation

Build Lion's Spirit by using Intro, Liberation, and Furious Punches. During the normal Basic Attack string, Basic Attacks 3, 4, 5, and Feral Roars can replace Ancient Arts with Furious Punches. Press Skill after those eligible hits; Skill does not reset the Basic Attack cycle. At 100 Lion's Spirit, cast Strive: Lion's Vigor, then press Basic Attack to enter Striding Lion while the full gauge condition is active. In Striding Lion, use Feral Gyrate and follow each Basic Attack with Mountain Roamer within 3 seconds to trigger Diligent Practice. Continue alternating until Spirit falls below 10, finish with Stormy Kicks and Tail Strike, then leave through Outro.

Opening vs. repeat cycles

Intro and Liberation both grant Lion's Spirit, so an Intro opening can reach 100 faster. If full Spirit is reached without Intro or Liberation, hold Normal Attack for Glorious Plunge to enter Striding Lion. When Intro or Liberation has just been cast at full Spirit, Basic Attack enters the state instead. Casting Liberation before the transformed sequence halves Spirit consumption and extends the available field time.

Why this skill priority

No skill priority is published in the current override, so this guide does not invent a numbered order. Forte Circuit contains Striding Lion, Feral Gyrate, Mountain Roamer, and Lion's Spirit. Liberation supplies the 50% Glacio bonus and longer transformed window, while Basic Attack and Skill create the normal-state setup and the alternating transformed attacks.

Required buffs and assumptions

The sequence assumes Intro, Liberation, or enough Furious Punches bring Lion's Spirit to 100 before the transformed entry. Diligent Practice requires Mountain Roamer within 3 seconds after a Striding Lion Basic Attack. Enemy movement and dodges can shorten the number of transformed attacks even when Liberation slows Spirit consumption.

Energy Regen target

No minimum Energy Regen target is listed in the current build data. Liberation grants 50% Glacio DMG Bonus and slows Lion's Spirit consumption by 50%, so Energy Regen matters when Lion's Vigor is unavailable for the planned Striding Lion window. Abyss Surges supplies 12.8% Energy Regen.
