Best Teams

1. Protected Hunt carry: Yanqing + Tingyun + a strong shielder/healer (to keep him untouched) + a Harmony buffer. He thrives while never taking damage.
2. Ice single-target: pairs with Ice break or CRIT supports to push his ceiling.

Kit Overview

• Skill: Single-target Ice strike that grants him Soulsteel Sync, boosting CRIT.
• Ultimate: Big Ice burst that further amplifies his CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG.
• Talent: While he has Soulsteel Sync he gains large CRIT buffs, but they weaken if he is hit.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Very high CRIT-scaling single-target Ice damage; cheap to acquire; strong burst windows. Cons: Extremely fragile and loses buffs when hit, so he demands dedicated shielding/healing.
