Banyue

Banyue's signature and by far his best option. HP% mainstat, 20% CRIT Rate (enabling CRIT DMG on Disk 4), and a Sheer DMG buff that holds near-100% uptime with no effort. He heavily relies on this to have meta relevance.

Yi Xuan's signature is a fine stat stick — HP% mainstat and the same 20% CRIT Rate as Banyue's own signature, with no upkeep needed to get value out of it.

Best A-rank option. Excellent synergy: frequent EX Specials give it full DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate uptime, plus HP% mainstat. Solidifies itself as the clear top A-rank pick.

HP% mainstat and an unconditional Fire DMG Bonus make it the next best A-rank. Banyue cannot trigger the CRIT Rate buff (HP loss occurs before combat), so only the passive stats provide value.

Craftable and mechanically fitting — constant EX Specials give near-100% CRIT DMG uptime. ATK% mainstat is weak for Banyue though, limiting performance especially in Deadly Assault.
