Yixuan turns HP into Sheer Force and cycles Adrenaline through Technique, Ultimate and Auric Ink Array. Her empowered sequence depends on spending and rebuilding that resource at the right time.
Sheer carry with Adrenaline, Technique and Ultimate cycling.
Spend Adrenaline through EX, use the Technique Ultimate, then convert its Auric Ink Point into Array and Eruption before rebuilding.
HP scales Sheer Force, EX spending funds the extra Ultimate, and Array returns the resource needed to start again.
Keep enough Adrenaline ready for the next empowered sequence.
Buff setup → EX / defensive timing → Build 120 Technique Points → Technique Ultimate → Auric Array and Eruption → Recover Adrenaline / repeat
The Technique Ultimate takes priority when both Ultimate resources are ready.
Perfect Dodges and qualifying blocks restore Adrenaline.
A teammate Ultimate can provide sustained recovery with the Additional Ability active.
Her Ultimate redistributes team HP; it is not simply unconditional healing.






Sheer damage ignores DEF, so PEN and DEF reduction are not damage priorities.
