Changli Gameplay and Playstyle
Changli is a Fusion Sword resonator who functions as a Main DPS, specializing in Skill DMG through her Forte Circuit. Her damage revolves around building stacks and consuming them with her Enhanced Heavy Attack (Forte) to deal high AoE Fusion damage.
Changli generates Forte stacks (Inflamement) by using her True Sight attacks, which are accessed after specific actions such as completing her Basic Attack string, using her Resonance Skill, or triggering her Intro Skill. While in True Sight, she can perform either a ground smash or mid-air attack, both of which generate stacks. At maximum stacks, she can consume them with her Heavy Attack to unleash a powerful AoE attack.
Changli can quickly rebuild her stacks through her Resonance Liberation, which fully restores her Forte gauge and allows immediate follow-up damage. Additionally, her Outro Skill provides Fusion Amplify and Resonance Liberation DMG Amplify, giving her added value as a hybrid DPS who can also buff teammates.
Changli Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Reason |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★★(Top) | Core of her kit. It upgrades Flaming Sacrifice (Enhanced Heavy Attack), which is a major portion of her damage output. |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★★(Top) | Deals high damage and instantly grants full Forte stacks, enabling immediate follow-up with her Enhanced Heavy Attack. |
| Basic Attack | ★★★(Middle) | Used frequently to enter True Sight, but contributes less damage compared to Skill and Forte. |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★★★(Top) | One of Changli’s main damage sources. It enhances her True Sight attacks (ground smash and mid-air), making it essential for her overall DPS. |
| Intro Skill | ★(Low) | Mainly used to generate a Forte stack on entry. Damage is minimal, so upgrade only after core abilities. |

Changli Best Team Comps
Changli’s DPS is centered around her Resonance Skill and Forte Circuit (Enhanced Heavy Attack), which account for the majority of her damage as Skill DMG. Because her kit relies on building and consuming Forte stacks (which takes long animations), maintaining a smooth rotation is essential to maximize her damage output.
As a result, she performs best in teams that support quickswap playstyles. Allowing her to cycle through her abilities efficiently while avoiding interruptions during her longer animations. She pairs well with swap-friendly resonators alongside supports that provide ATK, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or damage amplification buffs. Teammates that can take advantage of her Outro Skill's buffs or Resonance Liberation Resonators are also recommended as her teammates.
