π₯ Listen up, fellow Resonators! I've been maining Xiangli Yao since Kuro Games handed him out like candy in 1.2, and let me tell ya β this Electro Gauntlet beast hasn't just aged like fine wine, he's become a full-blown thunderstorm in human form! When I unleash his Resonance Liberation? Baby, it's like watching Zeus go to the gym while chugging energy drinks β‘. Forget 'DPS' β we're talking about a walking taser that moonlights as a wrecking ball!
β‘ Echoes: Yao's Electric Symphony
You know what makes Xiangli Yao purr like a charged-up kitten? Slapping that Void Thunder set on him! We're talking 40% bonus Electro DMG that turns his punches into lightning bolts. And honey, let's not skimp on Thundering Mephis as main Echo β it's like giving Thor's hammer steroids specifically for his Liberation blasts!

Now for the spicy stats:
-
Cost 4 Slot: Crit DMG/Rate (your golden ticket!)
-
Cost 3 Slots: Electro DMG (duh!)
-
Cost 1 Slot: ATK% (the bread and butter)
Sub-stats? Go Crit Rate > Crit DMG > Liberation DMG% > ATK% or watch your damage fizzle like wet fireworks. People Also Ask: "Can I mix Echo sets for Xiangli Yao?" Nah fam β that full Void Thunder synergy is non-negotiable in 2025 meta. Trust me, I tried hybrids and wept actual tears.
π₯ Weapons: Fists Wrapped in Lightning
If you ain't running Verity's Handle, are you even playing? This signature Gauntlet doesn't just boost Liberation DMG β it practically screams "I'mma ruin your day!" while showering you with Crit Rate goodness. But hey, not everyone's swimming in 5-stars, so lemme break it down:
| Weapon | Why It Works | Vibe Check |
|---|---|---|
| Verity's Handle | Massive Liberation & Crit buffs | π€― Game-changer! |
| Stonard | Crit Rate + Liberation DMG | π Budget beast mode |
| Marcato | Concerto Energy recharge | π Smooth rotation flow |
| Hollow Mirage | Flat ATK% boost | π¬ Better than nothing... |
Real talk? Abyss Surges is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine β yeah it buffs ATK%, but why bother when Stonard exists? People Also Ask: "Is Marcato viable for co-op?" Absolutely! Faster energy means your squad gets Liberation spam galore. Team player energy!
π₯ Forte Priority: Shock Therapy Upgrade Path
Leveling Yao's skills is like feeding a gremlin after midnight β do it wrong and chaos ensues! Hereβs how I maxed his zap potential:
1οΈβ£ Resonance Liberation: THE money maker. Upgrade this first or I will personally haunt your pulls!
2οΈβ£ Forte Circuit: That sweet, sweet scaling on special hits π―
3οΈβ£ Resonance Skill & Basic ATK: Solid damage bumps for field time
4οΈβ£ Intro Skill: Icing on the lightning cake
People Also Ask: "Why prioritize Forte Circuit over Basic ATK?" Simple β those charged-up haymakers during his rotation hit harder than my regret pulling on weapon banners!
β‘ Final Thunderous Thoughts
Xiangli Yao in 2025? Still clapping cheeks like it's going out of style! That free 1.2 gift turned out to be Kuroβs biggest power play π Remember: Crit stats make him go BRRRR, Void Thunder turns him into a conductor of pain, and Verity's Handle... oh honey, that's just unfair.
So go forth, my sparky comrades! Make Tacet Discords regret existing! Just... maybe bring a healer? β‘π
