[@jaguh9069]

I think this is the 1st time I watch a yinlin guide that explain why her 2nd passive not work. Man that completely rendered any other rotation useless coz most guide assumed we only need 2 E to activate the passive. 😅

[@bloodyblase3074]

Honestly the most comprehensive yet simple guide with clear visuals. Other guides just bombards you with wall of text and a random gameplay in the background. Im subbing. Keep it up!

[@NovemberFruit]

exact reaction i hide. liked and subbed. please keep making guides like this

[@rifaldirompis2797]

Bro paces and structures his videos so well I don't even need to put it on 1.5 speed to not get bored nor rewind to understand what was being said lmao

[@Bullminator]

Yinlin best rotation: Find a wall with 90*. Turn the character facing away the wall. Press ultimate. PROFIT.

[@jokesonu3412]

Indeed

[@linya4713]

great fkin video. Please post more, it seems like you're the first reliable source of information. I would like to see Jiyan Guide, Calcharo, Encore and Jinhsi as soon as she's released. Keep it up!

[@nebulas420]

Love your guides, straight to the point and with good information regarding rotations and swap cancels. Please keep making more of these in the future, cheers!

[@muhammadajibarli2299]

and that all 10 minutes is much better than the other youtuber. definitely subscribe

[@offphase]

Nice. clearly a step above other guide makers. I love that you walk through what buffs get activated and when from her kit, weapons, echoes, etc. subbed.

[@a.c.w]

This was a really effective video. Everything I needed to know (rotation, weapon, and resonance impact, as well as teams) and with good information flow and no time wasted. I hope to find a Calcharo video like this.

[@sin7317]

this is literally the perfect guide template. thanks for such an informative, concise, and easy to understand guide!

[@TheRedRationalist]

Best guide ive seen so far. I will be coming back to you for everyone going forward. Good shit dude.

[@KazeKumo]

Precise clarity, efficient, and quick. now that's a worthy guide.

[@noztablackswift]

Glad to have you back AJ, your guide is always easy to understand

[@redcloud7447]

Great guide as always. The section about her rotations was really easy to follow.

[@Section.9]

Please keep making videos. You've got that great balance of content, delivery, and pacing. Without naming other CCs, you've got the edge as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for what you do!

[@jh_box]

Thank you for making this video. This rotation is lot smoother and works better than rotations suggested by other content creators' 'guides'

[@Theblaze-ll7cn]

Very detailed and well-explained guide. Sub well-deserved :)

[@hldo00]

Comprehensive and informative. Thanks a lot for the video 🙏🏻

[@ohluit]

super informative guide keep up the good work :)

[@tetraavalon3664]

I usually look at these guides to see if there's new information I didn't find by myself, and I'm happy I found this one. Didn't know her liberation snapshotted buffs, which actually changes my rotation. Great info in this video.

[@MapleSpaxe]

This is the type of guides we need!

[@naz4154]

You are the best wuwa channel based on this single video. Clear, concise and articulate. Subscribed. Do more guides like this. I’d take calcharo! Great video

[@Tsurug]

honestly god character guide would keep in tune for your other upcoming character guides if you plan to do them overall you're one of the best character guide i've seen rn

[@nandianrekasatya6775]

Thank you so much for the clear rotation !

[@BlackReaper0]

Pretty nifty guide! Will try some of rotations later.

[@jeffreyf1689]

Very clear guide understood it with 1 watch, thanks a lot.

[@ephrxauth7977]

Your content is precisely and exactly what I was looking for. Insta like and sub. Keep up the discoveries on this game’s combat optimisation!

[@gir696]

LOVE this content. I hope we see more for future characters! I have been trying out various rotations with cal/yin/verina and wasn't sure if it was optimal or not.

[@scorlord466]

Amazing guide thank you keep these up they're great

[@user-vs8ml9vm4o]

top guide one of the best out there i hope you can continue making guides for future wuwa characters :)

[@dienine7597]

This is the right format for a guide video. I usually watch IWTL guides but somehow he does not explain very well recently. Thank you sir Alec John!

[@Crimnd]

Awesome video! perfect, thank you.

[@Ohhsoodead]

Insane guide, I hope you do more in the future for new characters.

[@CapicornIXVI]

I seen some Genshin video on this channel before Glad to see you comeback with new content after a long time Keep up the good work

[@Marnige]

Amazing. This is honestly something that needs to be covered more in a game like wuwa. The rotations for min maxing is what I've been looking for. Hopefully you do this for other characters like encore

[@carlosrobinson7176]

Best Yinlin guide i've seen so far

[@vandergrift5557]

Beautiful guide

[@gabriele4920]

Seldom do we see simple guides like this. More please

[@sacredsan]

the best guide i've found. would like to see same analysis of Yuanwu next, because the only thing i like about Calcharo is 1 basic for ore farming.

[@Jumparu]

You have the best guide out there! You have 2 out of 3 of my favorite characters in (Sanhua and Yinlin). Please do Encore next, specifically quick swap Encore 🙇.

[@cokefloat18]

dang bro I like your explanation so far.

[@user-xn9nw2ps5s]

Very good guide. Kudos for rotation details and graphs. Tuns out I was playing wrong all this time XD Kinda surprised, that Intro-Skill-Skill isn't optimal.

[@bobjoe258]

This is so incredibly helpful! I'd absolutely love to hear your take on how to play Calcharo, since it is so confusing whether to play him as a quickswap or as a hypercarry. He feels so complex and it'd be nice to get some discussion about his different possible rotations.

[@pretzelnuts]

This was the clearest guide for yinlin so far. I wish you can do a short guide for calcharo as well. Like, when is it viable to swap cancel while playing clacharo etc

[@ericjohnson4989]

In my opinion this was easily the best God I've seen for her. Very well done. You've got a sub for me

[@Gheniel_]

best guide, you mean?

[@ClaudeVanguard]

thank you! i'm so glad youtube recommended me this, also just finished grinding for void thunder set(not the bis of bis but i'm satisfied) ahhhhhh wish i can get a dupe, i love everything about her, currently my main dps despite having built calcharo with verdant summit, and i didn't even know that the passives boost her c.rate and electro bonus further huhu

[@andysabur4966]

thank you for this guide! ngl, she's been so nice to use Ive been fighting suboptimally, noticing the red mark but never looking it up lol. My biggest worry skill wise is always "gotta use skill2 before its window disappear" but it seems you can weave enough attacks beforehand

[@infinitybelt]

Another goated video. I was just discussing the difference between Tempest and Heron sets yesterday with my friends. I will share this with them, because I'm pretty sure, regardless of build, we are all doing Yinlin's rotation wrong 😂

[@mattiamusso8664]

I'm always been a TC addicted, and this guide is by FAR the best written and on point I saw about Yinlin. Better ti wait a couple of days and be on point, rather then pubblic trash content. GG subbed ;)

[@Crimnd]

Honestly, I'd love one of these type of guides from you for Calcharo... Maybe Jinhsi and Changli in the future. YEP

[@hadmos855]

Great video, thanks. Especially the explanation that skill 2 buff doesn't work when red sinner marks. No other content creator has mentioned this. Most even recommend skill 1 into skill 2 immediately.

[@bricekim]

love these straight to the point videos without extra filler and annoying "youtube" hype voice

[@Evochron]

Do you have intention to do this sort of stat break down for other resonators? Would love to see more breakdowns for each character. My friend and I did a electro Yuanwu, moonlit Taoqi, +dps team set up because he got RC6 yuanwu and made the realization just how powerful non standard damage scaling can be so it would be interesting to see damage breakdowns for those those types of characters (Baizhi especially since everyone is clearly on the Verina train)

[@DragoonPegasisX]

Thank you very much for taking your time to provide us with this detailed and helpful guide. Looking forward to your future content!

[@Karnage432]

Would love a Calcharo / Yinlin guide for rotation, like is it worth it to swap cancel his animations during his ultimate considering you lose out on Yinlin outro buff but adds a bit of dmg from her ? Things of that nature. Nice guide btw :)

[@cyberjeeb]

I was wondering why I wouldn't get the off field lightning. Awesome video

[@RimaPichi]

Thank you so much for the guide! This helpes a lot! :) Would the rotation stay the same with a S6 Yinlin too? Or are there any rotation changes Depending on what Resonance chain she's on?

[@Benalecjohn]

So I asked around a bit and it seems like her S6 lightning truly only triggers on basic attacks (not on counter or heavy) so baking in 4BA would be better.

[@RimaPichi]

@@Benalecjohn Thank you so much!! >v

[@daanishahamed7880]

This is fantastic, do you have one for Jiyan as well? I know he's fairly simple to use, but I'd love to see the damage scaling and where the efficiencies are (I already cancel his last atk during ult with skill, but I'd love to see optimization) and the damage diffs around his dupes would also be amazing. Thanks for this anyway, I was looking to see how long Yinlin should be on field if Calcharo is main dps.

[@saisis8984]

Imo you make by far the best guides for Wuwa that I saw so far, on-point, not long, overcomplicated and explain everything that needs to be explained. The only thing that I would personally appreciate more is an explanation for the ER requirements to fill the ultimate and concerto, I often find the ER requirements running around but hardly saw an explanation of why I need that ER which is why I particolary liked the Verina rotation video since it explained each step of why that rotation reach 100 concerto energy but that's just my nitpick especially when Concert and ER requirements are also team dependant LOL Since Moonlight is slightly better than Void thunder on Yinlin only when Calcharo has his 5* weapon I assume with a BP weapon on Calcharo Void thunder is better, right? Do you know how much? That being said I love to play Calcharo but it feels a bit sad that in Hologram it's really hard to pull it off 3 Death messanger each ult unless the enemy is staggered, my Havoc MC clear the same fight in 40 seconds less compared to Calcharo just because she has such a short dps window unlike him and even has worse stats

[@Benalecjohn]

Yes, Void Thunder value goes up the "worse" Calcharos weapon, but I can't tell you exactly how much with the BP weapon specifically. Thanks for the feedback!

[@scorlord466]

Definitely go void thunder because it's just better in aoe I believe Single target perfect rotation Calcharo makes moonlight better but that's too specific honestly

[@hansbernd49]

@@scorlord466 if you dont have her signature and are using the keeper rectifier your yinlin will deal negative dmg so you might as well run moonlit cause even a 2 DM calc rotation will outdamage her at that point. The sig is just too far ahead of every other option that if you dont have it her dmg becomes pretty pathetic. Not to mention its way easier to farm 1 moonlit + 1 thunder than 2 thunder so your moonlit probably has better stats and can be shared with other units. In aoe the dmg loss is obviously gonna be more but I found that she is so good in aoe and the aoe floors are usually easier anyway so even with moonlit you have more than enough dmg. So you should try to optimize single target and moonlight wins unless your yinlin is way better investment than calcharo.

[@scorlord466]

Interesting, but that sounds absurd to me, if her damage without sig is so bad then the character is just not worth it and playing a 4 star character with moonlit will be the same if not better which is weird considering how high Yinlin is rated on every tierlist with or without her sig.while investing in both Yinlin and Calcharo is harder I think it will actually be worth it in the long run especially considering people are clearing endgame content while being under leveled currently. @@hansbernd49

[@Verivini]

What is your opinion on using Flautist echo instead of Tempest Menphis? The animation lock is not as big and it also gives a concerto energy boost. It was an idea I saw brought up on another Yinlin rotation where she follows: Intro -> E1 -> E2 -> Flautist Echo -> Ultimate -> Forte Heavy Attack -> Swap with full concerto

[@Msaber2012]

Can you do one of these for Encore and Danjin, this is really good. Thank you

[@mohd.salman9]

Yep, of all the yinlin guides I've seen - pretty much the best. 10/10 my dude

[@idkmn321]

Great detailed guide! Hope you’d do more with other characters. But does anyone know how much the dmg loss if i just EE on yinlin and not care about the buffs of her passives? I really enjoy swap cancelling her long animations.

[@komikath]

the point of going moonlit is that she's on subdps role and if u want 60% elec dmg on the 3 cost, u ONLY need to grind that as the 4 cost and 1 cost moonlit is share-able with other subdps . meanwhile u r doubling the grind if u run Void Thunder. Basically grinding 2 calcharo.

[@ixirion]

Nice

[@trollchigokurosaki5713]

Lots of time I can't get full concerto for outro/intro on yinlin. What do I do in such case? Swap to calcharo and use his E basic atk combo or do I swap to verina and try to get outro?

[@eikoo0_]

i also watch the verina rotation and helped me a lot since it always takes too long to build up her outro energy when i used her. but i'd like to ask if i should just keep doing this when using with calc and verina or there is more better rotation for the three of them.

[@rikudouray]

Great guide, moonlit is much better tbh. Thankful that I got that set first. Also I did go on her sig, I don't mind skipping changli's sig since she can be eog.

[@GatewayDrugs]

Moonlit is actually far worse if you listened to the rest of his segment

[@thejamez10000]

Just in case anyone is curious I tested and her S5 will work on purple or red marks! Great guide. I'm really curious to understand how her S2 actually changes her energy needs in a typical Calcharo team.

[@suzukikorusuwa1758]

Another tip if your playing tower its much better to use yang yang or joanxin why? After casting all of yinlin basic and lib skills try to use her hold attack to it you will have outro skill then switch with yang yang or jianxin use a bit combo then ult or pull your enemy then switch to yinlin 2 basic attack 2 liberation skill then ult then the hold again then outro with encore or cal then full combo with them is also easy to clean your enemies with that combo rotation

[@ImagineCats9339]

5:23 I always felt like my characters are tankier during the echo animation , but i wasn't sure about that lol , and sometimes when I wasn't taking damage I thoughts that the boss missed their attack 😂 this is cool info to know , Thanks

[@ImagineCats9339]

6:34 and btw , it's actually 52% dmg bonus +12% HA if you count tempest mephis buffs

[@aaazureee]

Oh, I didnt know that after E1, you get both stack of stringmaster passive. Did you test it? Does it count each damage tick/instance as 1 stack? So E1 does 3 tick right? anyway, really good guide with insight.

[@Gheniel_]

thank you for the video, it has alot of good information. I still have one question, does the punishment mark damage count as heavy attack or resonance skill dmg?

[@Benalecjohn]

Resonance Skill DMG :)

[@Gheniel_]

@@Benalecjohn I see, thank you. Where can I find this info? I read her kit and couldn't find it, maybe there's no specification then people had to test to find it?

[@Benalecjohn]

@@Gheniel_ yep, only through testing!

[@Gheniel_]

@@Benalecjohn thats sad, I really hope they fix those description issues, its crucial for our understanding of the characters kit. Lets send feedback and pray they change it 😅

[@ronsongathus9634]

To Cancel BA3 into HA the fast way - tap 1 = basic atk 1 -tap 2 = basic atk 2 - during animation of basic atk 2, tap 3 to queue in basic 3 - then quickly tap and hold down = you get basic atk 3 and heavy attack spin happens at the same time. Easier and comfier trick but not as quick - tap 1 = basic atk 1 - tap 2 and pause abit until you see the moment of 2nd slash finishes = basic atk 2 complete animation - tap and hold right away = basic 3 and heavy atk spin happens at the same time too.

[@Priyo16Java]

the great thing about moonlit is you either already built them or you are on your way to build them for your other sub dps, and knowing the damage difference isn't too crazy i think this echo set is the most efficient one to farm for now

[@youngwang5546]

I’m using moonlit on her for now too. I’ve found more electro pieces on that set than the void thunder one.

[@GatewayDrugs]

Copelit. She deserves sig. It's far better realistically 😊

[@zippo718]

Apparently for void thunder buff stacks, one is specific to skill and one is specific to heavy attack. You cant get both stacks from casting skill twice.

[@Benalecjohn]

Thank you, I completely missed this. 2nd stack only activates on the Forte then, OR on the 3BA into Heavy attack cancel. If only all Echo sets could activate the full buff on Intro like Aero and Spectro...

[@Yon013]

nice explaination but 7:07 caught me off guard lmao

[@Tom67Slick]

4:20 what do you mean when make sure the ability connects to get both stacks of stringmaster? isn't only resonance 1 used so far, how does it trigger both stacks?

[@Altr3551]

Intro echo E1 R na/ha x4 E2 F because S6 and this is one of the most concise ways to use your S6 bonus on ult without drastic changes to field time. Also i dont use dudes so usually i just run a quick swap party with rover/encore and velina/jianxin, which does not have a set rotation.

[@GssDeLosAndes]

I've seen some people recommend the Mech Abomination set. Were they wrong or is it usable?

[@BMW-pd2tt]

Can you do the same style of guide for calcharo?

[@Lync673]

Comparing to other yinlin rotation video guide is this actually the best one?

[@calamity7032]

POG

[@helloworld9172]

calcharro next please and how the synergy works with yinlin

[@Tom67Slick]

4:38, the void thunder stacks 2 times only if you do both a resonance and a heavy attack, not just two resonance, it was proven by someone

[@Benalecjohn]

Thank you for this

[@esyriz]

what if i dont have stringmaster? Moonlit should be quite a bit better right?

[@ShanHa1193]

Can you compare the normal 5 set thunder vs 2pcs atk 2pcs electro with mech abomination?

[@elibiosanchez4174]

I use two electro and two atack on echoes, it's that good?

[@ntabi6856]

Where do you go to read inherent skills?

[@tsukiel92]

Can you make one for Mortefi please?

[@JeannMain]

Is Yinlin's signature weapon worth it compared Changli's? I want to pull Changli and her weapon but since we get 5 star standard sword for free (it has crit stats while Changli's weapon is atk%) I dunno if pulling for Changli's sig will be make a big differences

[@schornou7007]

imo if you swap resonator withouth having your concerto energy full you should loose all so far gathered energy on that character as a penalty toughts?

[@sejisen2346]

Can you do Encore pls?

[@abhay1996]

Will you please check whether both Void Thunder stacks are stacked or not after using both skills cast without using heavy attack, since it isn't happening for me. I need to use a heavy attack to get a 2nd +15% electro dmg bonus.

[@reedsad4652]

just do heavy attack first then skill if you dont want to stress bout it

[@xTrillzz]

I like to ult before forte because i use forte last for the energy

[@orion615]

A good balance between "put the electro set on the electro character" and complete excel brainrot.

[@tactician3023]

@Alec John realistically how much of yinlin buffs are you actually gonna get on Calcharo considering you play him quick swappy to really optimise him ?

[@Benalecjohn]

I might be in the minority here but I don't really play Calcharo quickswappy so I'm getting the full Yinlin Outro. But that means I often only manage to fit in 2 Death Messengers since I have to dodge stuff

[@RogerNbr]

​@@Benalecjohndo you use the skill cancel? i heard canceling your 3rd na with 1 skill use saves a lot of time

[@Benalecjohn]

@@RogerNbr yes I like to use the skill cancel too

[@tactician3023]

@@Benalecjohn interesting thanks

[@kindle8808]

At 6:12, what is the purpose of doing 4 aas right after intro? Am i not supposed to skill right after an then use the 4 basics?

[@Benalecjohn]

Her Intro allows you to go straight into the last stage of her basic attacks (the 4th basic attack). So you're only adding one basic attack after the Intro, and since it's the 4th it generates a good chunk of concerto and res energy as a failsafe should you fall short

[@jukesdtj656]

You use Moonlit Cloud because it provides a great damage buff to the main DPS, I use Moonlit Cloud because the extra energy regen let's me see Yinlins Liberation Animation book jiggle more often. We are not the same.

[@LostWallet]

i have a question. many people say you should not use dodge counter on calcharo during his utl, but with Yinlin liberation damage buff, and his dodge counter durring liberration is considered liberation damage, is it worth it to use them? or at least viable?

[@Benalecjohn]

Yes it's viable, you can still manage 3DMs even with one dodge counter. It also deals a good chunk of dmg like you mentioned yourself
