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.

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.

Cauldron of ClarityA
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.

Grill O'WispA
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.

82.62%
Puzzle SphereA
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.
