Hero Character Progression Guide
A visual build reference for the heroes shown in supplied China-server material: rotations, Flow Paths, Inscriptions, equipment progression, and early team pairings.
Source material: user-supplied China-server community character-reference images.
The recommendations below preserve the supplied panel order. Character names, Flow Paths, Inscription names, equipment-set names, and balance-sensitive advice are China-server community terminology; use them as a build reference rather than as confirmed global-release data.
How to use this reference
Each panel pairs a practical Combat Rotation with a Flow Path branch, an Inscription loadout, an early-to-late equipment route, and suggested allies. The route choices are presented as source recommendations, not universal best-in-slot rules: choose the branch that fits your role, party composition, and encounter.
Jialuo — stationary ranged DPS
Jialuo’s source rotation opens Longbow Form, builds arrows through her basic-attack sequence, then uses her remaining skills to refresh pressure before repeating. The supplied build favors a Fighter Set while progressing, then a Critical Hit or Follow-up-oriented late-game set. Keep her behind the front line; Wang Zhaojun, Xi Shi, Master Luban, and Sun Bin are listed as support options that create a safer damage window.
Child of the Primal Flow — close-range skill DPS
Use the second skill to close in, then use the first skill’s multi-hit sequence to trigger the second skill’s Shatter state before spending the rest of the kit. The source separates newcomer and advanced Flow Path choices at the sixth layer, then balanced and burst choices at the tenth. Xi Shi is the featured partner because her control, enemy grouping, and Vulnerability support help the Child keep dealing damage.
Dongfang Yao — Star Power sustain fighter
Before engaging, the source advises keeping two stacks of Star Power. Apply Star Shatter with two casts of the second skill, then use the rest of the kit to trigger the enhanced first skill. Save the enhanced third skill for recovery at low HP or to interrupt a red-telegraphed attack. Master Luban is the recommended primary support; Xi Shi is the alternate.
Hua Mulan — Lightblade and Heavyblade cycles
Build Sword Intent in Lightblade Form with the flying blade and two-stage first skill, then switch to Heavyblade Form to spend that resource. The source’s loop returns to Lightblade Form to rebuild Sword Intent and uses Heavyblade skills to build Marks before a finishing strike. Its options distinguish critical-hit versus easier-to-execute Flow Paths, then sustained damage versus charged burst.
Meng Ya — sustained ranged pressure
The supplied guide opens with his first skill, coordinates attacks through his summoned device, and watches the heat and energy gauges before committing the charged follow-up. Its late equipment route leans into a Berserk Set. Sun Shangxiang is the key listed partner, helping create a stronger damage window after Toughness Break; Master Luban is an alternative damage support.
Kai — parry and Toughness Break
Use the second skill to engage, then the first skill; when an enemy attacks, answer with the third skill’s parry and counterattack. If no attack is coming, the source instead uses the parry to block Kai’s returning blade. Once the Flow Skill has connected three times, use Fatebreaker Strike, then unload burst damage during the Toughness Break window.
Xi Shi — orb control and burst support
Xi Shi begins by creating an orb with her second skill, uses the third skill to reset and strengthen it, then fuses the orbs through the first skill for burst damage. The source offers single-target and area-damage Flow Path branches, and reserves one tenth-layer choice for a back-line Resonance that needs a shared Flow Skill. Her recommended equipment routes distinguish energy recharge from healing.
Sun Shangxiang — swap-and-burst setup
The main panel starts with the first skill, opens the third skill, waits for the indicator to turn gold, then uses the first skill again before swapping Resonance. The Flow Path choices distinguish low-energy and high-energy situations. The listed team pairings include Jialuo and Meng Ya, with Sun Shangxiang helping increase the party’s damage after a break window.
Wang Zhaojun — shielding and control
Open with the third skill to apply a shield, then choose crowd control or follow-up damage to match the encounter. The source separates quick-swap shielding from on-field support in its Flow Path choices. Its team note highlights a low-HP damage synergy with Leng Chun and names Jialuo or Meng Ya as other possible partners.
Master Luban — summon-based team support
The source starts with the first skill to summon Luban No. 5, uses the second skill during close combat to build energy, then spaces away before recasting it. Switch Resonance once the companion gauge is ready, and use the Ultimate when the higher energy threshold is full. Both listed Flow Path layers choose between opening protection and stronger party buffs.
Sun Shangxiang — alternate team options
This final supplied panel repeats Sun Shangxiang’s progression reference while emphasizing two early party pairings: Jialuo plus Sun Shangxiang, and Meng Ya plus Sun Shangxiang. It retains the same energy-aware Flow Path guidance and equipment progression while presenting those alternative team recommendations.
