We will keep this section updated with any announcements regarding Daiyan’s banner launch as they are made known.
Who Is Daiyan?
Daiyan occupies the Elite Doll (SSR) class and belongs to the Vanguard group. She wields an Assault Rifle (Type 95), specializing in dealing physical damage to enemies. Her aesthetic integrates elements of traditional Chinese culture, showcased through her use of a fan and a Guzheng instrument within her abilities.
Daiyan’s Abilities
Although Daiyan has not been released on the global server yet, her skills have been translated by Prydwen. She employs her Assault Rifle to inflict physical damage while simultaneously debuffing opponents using her Active Skill, titled “Perfect Tuning.”
Additionally, her passive abilities allow her to accumulate Tuning stacks that enhance her damage output while enabling her to intercept incoming enemy attacks. Dive into the specifics of Daiyan’s abilities outlined below:
Basic Attack
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Plucking Strings (Targeted, Medium Ammo) | Inflicts physical damage to one enemy within a six-tile radius, equating to 80% of Daiyan’s attack power. |
Active Skills
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Perfect Tuning (Targeted, Dispel, Light Ammo) | Selects an enemy within a six-tile range, dispelling one of their buffs and dealing physical damage equal to 150% of Daiyan’s attack power. |
Secondary Active Skill
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Qing Shang Harmony (Buff) | Gains three stacks of Tuning and the Pitch Perfect effect for one turn, as well as one instance of Extra Command. |
Ultimate Skill
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Subtle Resonance (Targeted, Buff, Medium Ammo) | Targets one enemy within six tiles and inflicts physical damage equivalent to 190% of Daiyan’s attack power. Each Tuning stack reduces this skill’s cooldown by one turn while granting stacks of Permanent Tuning up to three times. |
Passive Skill
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Swift Harmony (Interception) | At the action’s start, Daiyan gains one point of Confectance Index and a stack of Tuning. If the Tuning stacks exceed two, she can intercept incoming attacks, dealing light ammo physical damage equal to 150% of her attack, and gaining an additional Tuning stack. This effect is limited to once per turn and grants a 20% damage increase if Tuning stacks are over three. |
Keys
- Resonance: While possessing Tuning, gain an extra tile of movement.
- Ascending to the Heavens: At the battle’s start, acquire three points of Confectance Index.
- Smoke and Melody: Each extra tile of movement enhances critical hit chance by 10%.
- Melodious Heartfelt: If your movement exceeds the target’s, gain a Tuning stack prior to performing an Active Skill.
- Shattering the Formation: For every three Tuning stacks used with the Perfect Tuning Active Skill, dispel an additional buff.
- Flowing Fragrance: Post-using Qing Shang Harmony; should a kill occur, restore 20% max health and two Stability Index points.
Common Key
Stone and Silk Split: Initiates action with Movement Boost I for one turn, subject to a one-turn cooldown.
Best Weapons for Daiyan
The optimal weapon for Daiyan is the Heavy Chord rifle, which grants a random buff each time she starts an action with full health. Moreover, it has a chance to dispel a target’s buff before inflicting damage.
This weapon pairs excellently with her Perfect Tuning ability, aiding in debuffing opponents during critical confrontations against challenging bosses or enemies that frequently enhance their defense or damage capacities.
Alternatively, you might consider other weapons like the Golden Melody, Planeta, or Type 95, with the latter being a viable choice for free-to-play or budget-conscious players. Detailed traits and effects of each weapon can be found in the table below:
| Weapon | Trait | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy Chord (SSR) | Grants a random buff if HP is full at the start of action. | Has a probability of 20%-100% to dispel one buff from the target before damage attacks. For every 1-3 tiles moved, damage increases by 5%-10%. Critical damage against unprotected targets rises by 10%-20%. |
| Golden Melody (SSR) | Grants a random buff if HP is full by action’s end. | Damage dealt ascends by 10%-20%, and the next support attack increases damage proportional to any buffs gained. |
| Planet | Gains a random attack buff if HP is full at the action’s start. | Amplifies active skills’ damage when kills are made, with incremental stacks for additional movement. |
| Type 95 | Grants a random buff if HP is full at action’s start. | If additional movement is available, the subsequent damage output increases by 10%-20%. |
Best Team Composition for Daiyan
Although Daiyan is yet to make her appearance, we have devised an optimal team composition based on existing global synergies within the game. While this lineup may be adjusted upon her release, we currently suggest the following:
- Daiyan (DPS/Debuffer)
- Macchiatto (DPS)
- Finland (Healer)
- Qiongjiu (DPS)
This setup yields formidable damage output thanks to Makiatto and Qiongjiu, the two premier single-target damage dealers. Their synergy enables frequent support attacks and counteractions before enemies can strike back.
In the event that an enemy does breach defenses, Suomi’s protective shielding will safeguard the damage-dealing units, while her Freeze debuff reduces enemy defenses, enhancing Makiatto’s long-range effectiveness.
