Character Overview
Changli is a top-tier 5-star Fusion DPS/Sub-DPS who utilizes Fusion DMG and Enflamement mechanics. As the senior counselor of Jinzhou, she commands powerful Fusion energy through her Sword, dealing massive burst damage while applying the Enflamement status to enemies.
Her unique mechanic revolves around building Enflamement stacks through her True Sight state, then consuming them to unleash devastating Flaming Sacrifice heavy attacks. At S0, she is already one of the strongest DPS characters in the game, with her power scaling excellently into higher Resonance Chains.
Changli excels in both Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes content, providing consistent high damage output with strong burst potential during her True Sight windows. She can also function as a Fusion buffer for teammates via her Outro Skill.

Energy Regen +12.8%. When Resonance Skill is used, ATK +6% (stacks 2x, 10s). Good for faster rotations and consistent energy generation.
Alternative: Strong stat stick with Crit Rate and Energy Regen. Good for quick-swap builds.
Commando of Conviction
Effect - Conviction's Call:
When using Intro Skill, ATK +15% for 15s. Great for quick-swap teams where Changli enters frequently.

Best Team Compositions
Premium Team (Double DPS)
Strategy: Brant provides Fusion sub-DPS and buffs. Changli and Brant rotate for Fusion damage bursts. Verina heals and provides universal buffs. Maximizes Fusion resonance and quick-swap potential.
High Damage Alternative
Strategy: Encore is a strong Fusion DPS who benefits from Changli's Outro buff. Shorekeeper provides healing, Crit buffs, and Rejuvenating Glow resonance. Strong damage output with excellent survivability.
F2P Alternative
Strategy: Chixia functions as backup DPS and provides Fusion resonance. Baizhi heals and provides Crit Rate support. Budget but effective for all content without gacha investment.
Rotation Guide (Premium Team)
- Start with Verina: Cast Resonance Skill to apply buffs, build Concerto Energy.
- Swap to Brant: Apply Fusion DMG, cast Skill and Liberation to generate Concerto.
- Swap to Changli (Intro): Enters True Sight immediately and gains initial Enflamement.
- Build Enflamement: True Sight attacks (2-3 hits) = 4 stacks.
- Cast Liberation: Instant 4 stacks + 25% ATK buff.
- Use Flaming Sacrifice: Max damage output with buffs active.
- Swap out: Trigger Outro skill (Fusion DMG buff), switch to Brant to restart cycle.
Tip: Always aim to have 4 Enflamement stacks before using Flaming Sacrifice. Liberation can skip the stack-building phase if needed.
