BiSWrathful VajraS1

Banyue's Signature is comfortably his best choice, helped by the absence of useful A-Rank alternatives. Nothing exotic, just excellent numbers: an HP% mainstat for damage, 20% CRIT Rate that makes him far easier to gear (enabling CRIT DMG on Disc 4), and a Sheer DMG buff that holds 100% uptime effortlessly, unlike other Rupture engines. He leans on it heavily to stay meta-relevant.

AltQingming BirdcageS1

Yixuan's Signature is the runner-up and a fine stat stick. The HP% mainstat is great, and while most of its effects are wasted on Banyue, its 20% CRIT Rate equals his own Signature's and delivers the same build flexibility with zero upkeep.

BudgetCauldron of ClarityS5

Cauldron of Clarity pairs very well with Banyue. His constant EX Special usage keeps its DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate at full uptime, easing substat requirements, and the HP% mainstat rounds it out as his best A-Rank option.

BudgetGrill O'WispS5

Grill O' Wisp trails the S-Ranks by a wide margin but still tops the A-Rank pool. Banyue cannot use its CRIT Rate buff since his HP loss happens once before combat even starts, leaving only the HP% mainstat and an unconditional Fire DMG Bonus, which is still more than the other A-Ranks offer.

BudgetPuzzle SphereS5

On paper Puzzle Sphere suits Banyue: constant EX Specials mean effectively 100% uptime on the CRIT DMG bonus, and EX Specials make up a big share of his damage. The ATK% mainstat drags it down though, so in content like Deadly Assault he lacks the damage to extract real value. Its only true selling point is being craftable.

Greed Burns Like Fire

When Banyue hits an enemy with EX Special Attack: One's Path or EX Special Attack: Earth Shaker, he inflicts the Tremor state: enemies' Fire RES is reduced by 10% for 30s. When EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar, Lion's Roar - Wrath, Mountain Tremor, Mountain Tremor - Wrath, Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, and Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hit an enemy in Tremor state, the Sheer DMG dealt is increased by 10%. When Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hits a Stunned enemy, the current Stun duration is extended by 2s (once per Stun, does not stack).

Descended Vidyaraja

At any time, when Banyue uses an EX Special Attack, he also gains Vidyaraja. The Fire DMG bonus from Vidyaraja is increased by an additional 8%, and its duration is extended to 30s. When activating Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks, Banyue deals Fire DMG equal to 600% of his Sheer Force to nearby enemies. Using Dodge: Battle Cry immediately after an EX Special Attack also grants Vidyaraja.
