Tingyun in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build Guide

Tingyun in HSR wields the Lightning element and is an epic hero of the Path of Harmony, whose main skills are aimed at imposing various positive effects on allies. In particular, she restores energy, increases damage and attack power. This makes her a profitable support primarily for damage dealers who have "expensive" superpowers and skills that scale with ATK.

During battle, the Foxian often appears as an additional combat unit, capable of finishing off small single targets using her basic attack and thereby generating skill points. Considered an indispensable unit, which is present in many teams aimed at quickly clearing such content as "Forgotten Hall", "Simulated Universe" and "Pure fiction".

Hero's story

Tingyun is a charming foxian girl who lives on Luofu Xianzhou. To the Trailblazrt and other members of the Astral Express, she is the Ambassador of the "Sky-Faring Commission". She accompanies guests of the region around its vast surroundings. She is dreamy, but aware of her role in society and always "keeps face" in front of strangers. Only in rare exceptions does she allow herself to daydream and ponder such taboo topics as immortality.

The motto of a member of the Whistling Flame Guild is: "Avoid conflicts at all costs and negotiate with those with whom you can negotiate." Perhaps he often saved her from dangers that could lurk around the corners or protected her from the wrong acquaintances. One way or another, the foxian is actually extremely cautious: she realizes that her abilities are far from first-rate combat skills, so she tries to stay away from deadly fights, where she can easily lose her life.

How to Get the Character

The representative of the Foxian people has an epic rarity, respectively, she can drop from the banners "Event Warp: Character", "Event Warp: Light Cone", as well as in "Stellar Warp". Additionally, the heroine or eidolons for her can be bought for 140 Undying Embers in the section of "Pom-Pom's Shop" of the same name if she is available in the assortment. You can also pull for Tingyun with an increased chance, if she is listed in the list of 4⭐ units that are available to obtain at the same time as the limited legendary character.

Leveling the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador provides an increase to the following characteristics:

How Tingyun's Skills Work

The representative of the Whistling Flame guild belongs to the Path of Harmony: her main abilities are aimed at imposing various positive statuses on her partners. Thus, the overall power of the group increases, which is important for quickly clearing the current content, starting with Echoes of War and ending with "Forgotten Hall".

Active skills

Passive Skills

Leveling Order

Skill ≥ Superpower > Talent > Basic Attack.

Tingyun's Skill and superpower are her main abilities, which require consistent leveling for subsequent imposition of bonuses. Her Talent and basic attack are not a priority, but can be taken into account once the skills "Soothing Melody" and "Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds" are maxed out.

Traces

The total increase in additional characteristics of a representative of the Foxian People after learning all the traces will be:

• ATK - + 28 %
• bonus to Lightning damage - + 8 %
• defense - + 22.5 %

Eidolons

All consts of Tingyun:

The best Eidolons of Tingyun:

• E1: do things quickly is a significant characteristic that affects the amount of turns, so that the character acts before the monsters. An additional increase to the stat in question during combat often changes the course of the battle.
• E4: Grants an additional DPS boost to an ally who has the Benediction status. A nice bonus for anyone who plays the primary damage dealer role.
• E6: Instead of 50 energy, the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador's superpower will grant her partner 60 energy. This is especially important for those whose main damage comes from their ultimate ability.

How to Play Tingyun in HSR

The Member of the Whistling Flame Guild is agreat buffer, who, being a regular 4-star hero, is considered one of the best characters of Harmony. Playing her should not cause difficulties, since the abilities have fairly simple and understandable mechanics. However, turn-based combat is full of surprises, especially in the high-end part of the content, where both leveled heroes and the thinking through the turns are important.

Tingyun's rotation is based on the following principles, which are recommended to be followed during battle:

1. Use the technique Gentle Breeze before the fight to restore mana. Ideally, you want to get your mana to 100 so you can immediately cast your ultimate, Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds.
2. As soon as the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador's turn begins, apply «Blessedto the main DPS unit, using "Soothing Melody". This will increase the ATK of the active hero and thus give a significant boost to their DPS.
3. While Benediction is active, on the Foxian girl's turn, give preference to basic attack "Dislodged". It deals decent damage to a single target, which will be increased by activating the talent "Violet Sparknado".
4. Remember that it is allowed to use the ult regardless of the order of action: If you see that the main damage dealer's turn is approaching, use "Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds" on them.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Like all fighters, the member of the Whistling Flame Guild has not only “pros” but also “cons”.

Best Tingyun Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

The Ambassador of the Sky-Faring Commission follows the Path of Harmony and therefore she is significant for many teams. An important role in the course of turn-based battles is played exclusively by all abilities: even basic attack, with the correct calculation of actions, ascend the heroine's usefulness to the absolute and sometimes put her above other followers of Harmony (for example, Bronya).

The build of Tingyun in HSR is based on the following characteristics: attack power, speed and HP/Defense %. High ATK values are important to enhance the buffs from Soothing Melody, Speed directly affects the frequency of turns, and stats that affect survivability will help you withstand the onslaught of elite opponents and damage from area attacks.

Recommended Stats

Stats to look for in relics for the Whistling Flame guild member:

If we take into account secondary parameters, then the following stats should be given priority:

• speed;
• ATK;
• HP/defense/resistance;

The optimal final indicators that are recommended to be collected are:

• ATK: 2 – 400;
• do things quickly: 134+;
• energy recharge: 119,4%+;
• HP: 3 and more;
• DEF: 900 and more.

The main characteristic of a representative of the Foxian people is ATK, since it affects the effectiveness of buffs applied. However, prioritizing the characteristic over other important stats is a mistake. The reason is the skill "Soothing Melody", which increases the attack power of the selected ally by 25-62,5% up to 15-30% of the current ATK of the Ambassador of the Sky-Faring Commission. Ideally, you'll get to 2600 with Cavern Relics, Planar Ornaments, and Light Cone, and then focus on other stats.

Speed, recovery and, of course, stats that affect the heroine’s survival (HP/defense/resistance), are extremely useful in any situation. High speed indicators will allow you to take action more often and, therefore, better update positive statuses. Mana restoration will simplify the accumulation of mana for the ultimate. Other parameters affecting survivability will boost the foxian girl in the position of a support unit, preventing her from dying after a couple of powerful blows.

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon for your Whistling Flame Guildmate, remember that the Light Cone must be of the Path of Harmony. Otherwise, you will only get an increase to your basic stats (HP, defense, and ATK) from the “card”, and the prescribed passive skill will not work.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Dance! Dance! Dance! (S5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	When the wielder uses an ultimate, all allied actions advance by 16-24%.	A great cone that can be used in both early and later content. It will advance all teammates' actions after the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador uses Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds, allowing them to take their turn before their opponents. In some parts of the content, the considered effect can significantly affect the course of the battle (for example, against enemies simulated universe or Forgotten Hall). The weapon is especially strong when combined with action progress and/or the ability to restore mana.
Meshing Cogs (S5) ⭐⭐⭐ HP: 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	After the owner makes an attack or takes damage, restore 4-8 energy. This effect can be activated 1 time per turn.	Optimal option with energy regeneration, especially if the carrier is constantly becoming the target of enemy attacks. Easy to level up and upgrade due to low rarity, while providing low gain to base stats. Recommended at the early stages when the monsters are not that strong yet, as well as at later levels of Trailblazing, provided that the Whistling Flame Guild partner is well-leveled and does not need anything.
But the Battle Isn't Over ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 52-1164 ATK 24-529 DEF 21-463	Increases energy recovery by 10-18% and restores 1 skill point after using an ultimate on an ally. This effect can be used 1 time per 2 activations of the ult. When the owner uses a skill, the damage of the ally taking the next action is increased by 30-50% for 1 turn.	One of the best light cones for Harmony characters, which is a signature weapon of BronyaProvides an increase in energy recovery, which is important for a representative of the Foxian People, whose main advantages are in her ultimate ability. The only drawback is that the positive bonus increasing damage applies to the partner who acts next. For the correct implementation of the cone skill, it is important to balance the base value of the units' speed so that the main DPS hero receives the key buff.
Flowing Nightglow ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-953 ATK 28-635 DEF 21-463	The bearer of the light cone receives level 1. "Cantillation" every time any of the allies makes an attack. Every level “Cantillation” increases the energy recovery rate of a hero equipped with a weapon “card” by 3-5% — this effect can stack up to 5 times. When the wielder uses an ultimate, the Cantillation effect is replaced with the Cadenza condition. "Cadenza" increases the attack power of the wearer character by 48-96%, and the damage dealt by allies is reduced by 24-40%. The duration of the effect is 1 turn.	A powerful weapon "card" for the heroine, as it has a fairly multifaceted bonus, including restoring the owner's mana and increasing the damage of teammates. Also, the passive of the light cone increases the attack power of the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador, which is useful for her skill "Soothing Melody" to buff others even more.
Earthly Escapade ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 52-1164 Attack Power: 24-529 Defense: 21-463	Increases crit. damage by 32-60%. At the beginning of the battle, the wearer of the weapon “card” is assigned the “Mask” status, which lasts for 3 turns. When the hero is under the influence of the “Mask” effect, crit. the chance of all allies increases by 10-14%, and crit. damage - by 28-56%. When a character restores a skill point (skill points exceeding the limit are taken into account), he receives 1 lvl. "Radiant Flame" charge. Upon reaching level 4. charge, “Radiant Flame” is replaced by the “Mask” effect, which lasts for the next 4 turns.	Even though the heroine does not restore allies' action points with her skills, she practically does not spend them, which will allow her to accumulate levels of the "Radiant Flame" status, just slower than the same Sparkle. The weapon will not only increase crits for the entire team, but also ascend the damage of the representative of the Whistling Flame guild, who can sometimes even act clear to the position of a secondary damage dealer due to basic attack.
Carve the Moon, Weave the Clouds ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	At the start of combat, or before the wearer takes an action, one of the effects will randomly activate: All allies' ATK increases by 10-20%, crit. damage by 12-24% or energy recovery by 6-12%. The selected effect will replace the previous one and will not be the same as last time. The bonus disappears after the death of the owner. Effects of this type do not stack.	Considered a signature light cone of the Foxian, it gives allies a nice boost to their main stats: ATK, crit dmg, or mana regeneration. Despite the fact that the weapon skill has a random element, the group will still receive a permanent buff (i.e. the positive properties will last throughout the entire battle). Compared to other light cones, the considered epic variant is one of the best and in some situations can outperform the legendary "But The battle is not over".
Planetary Rendezvous ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 48-1058 ATK 19-423 DEF 15-330	At the start of combat, when an ally deals damage of the same type as the owner's type, their elemental damage is increased by 12-24%.	A good option that will increase the DPS of characters that have the same element as the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador (i.e. Lightning). Not recommended for equipment if there are no Lightning heroes in the team.
Memories of the Past ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP: 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Increases break effect by 28-56%. When the owner attacks, heals himself 4-8 energy. This effect can only be triggered once per turn.	The best cone for mana gain. Combined with planar ornaments and a link rope for energy recovery, it guarantees the most frequent use of the ultimate. As a bonus, it increases break, which is useful when the fox has to break a shield.
Poised to Bloom ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Passively increases the equipped character's attack power by 16-32%. If there are two or more heroes of the same Path at the beginning of the battle, their crit. damage increases by 16-32%. This bonus cannot stack with buffs of this type.	Thanks to this epic weapon, the bearer will buff the ATK parameter of the selected partner more strongly due to the skill "Soothing Melody". To activate the other part of the passive bonus, you will have to select certain units for the team, which is why the cone becomes situational.
Dreamville Adventure ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	After the owner uses a basic attack, skill, or ult, he applies the Childish status to all allies. This status increases the damage dealt by an ally's corresponding skill by 12-20%. The Childishness status only works with the owner's last used skill, and it cannot stack.	An affordable but situational alternative from the Light Cone in-game store. The weapon provides the entire group with a buff to one of the skills, so it requires planning a rotation taking into account the needs of both the buffer and the damage dealer. In the case of a Whistling Flame guild member who relies on basic attacks for most of the battle, the cone will suit teams with DPS characters from basic attack, with rare use of the skill. It is also worth considering that using the fox's ultimate must restore 100% of the target's super ability for the cone buff to work.
For Tomorrow's Journey ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 21-476 DEF 15-330	ATK is increased by 16-32%. After the owner uses their ultimate, the damage dealt increases by 18-30% on 1 turn	If there is a cone and no alternative allies that can buff them, the weapon will increase the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador's ATK, allowing her to focus more on other stats and thus increase survivability, speed, recovery, and resistance through relics.
Past and Future ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP 43-952 ATK 19-423 DEF 18-396	Using a skill increases the damage of an ally who takes an action behind him by 16-32% for 1 turn.	The properties of the Light Cone are similar to the weapon "But The Battle Is Not Over", which again forces the player to balance the base value of the speed of allies so that the positive effect on increasing DPS is applied to the main damage dealer.
Chorus ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the beginning of the battle, the attack power of all allies increases by 8-12%. This effect cannot stack with effects of this type.	A 3-star variant that can be upgraded to max rank early on. Increases all allies' ATK, giving a boost to the team's overall power. Not a bad "first-time" option.
Mediation ⭐⭐⭐ HP 38-846 ATK 14-317 DEF 12-264	At the beginning of the battle, increases the speed of all allies by 12-20 units for 1 turn.	A 3-star variant that can be upgraded to max rank in the early stages. do things quickly all characters, which will allow the “work” of some cavern relics and planar ornaments to be realized. Can be equipped "for the first time", but later needs a more effective replacement. For example, "Chorus".

What relics and ornaments are needed

As mentioned earlier, the basis of the build is ATK: This is the parameter to look for in relics for the Foxian girl. This recommendation applies to both the stats of planar ornaments and the indicators of cavern relics.

Cavern relics

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal	2 parts: Increase your speed by 6%. 4 parts: Using a skill or ultimate on an ally increases the skill target's crit damage by 18% for 2 turns. This effect can stack up to 2 times.	The optimal set of relics. The skill and super ability of the fox girl are applied only to one ally, which fully meets the requirements of the passive property. Thus, the set will not only increase your own speed, but will also allow you to increase the crit dmg of your teammate in addition to the existing buffs. At the same time, it will be easy to accumulate stacks and maintain the boost throughout the battle.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace	2 parts: Increase your speed by 6%. 4 parts: Increases the speed of all allies by 12% when the wearer uses an ultimate ability on an ally, for 1 turn. The effect does not stack.	The second best set for the Whistling Flame guild partner, which will increase the speed of the fox itself and will affect the position of partners during battle every time the heroine uses an ultimate. Surpasses the Musketeer, since the required amount of ATK can be easily gained through the main/additional characteristics on cavern relics and planar ornaments.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat	2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 parts: Increases speed by 6% and basic attack damage by 10%.	A good alternative to the above sets, which will increase the ATK, speed and damage from the non-a representative of the Foxian people. Due to the fact that they open at later stages (it is necessary to go to Luofu Xianzhou), the Musketeer can be called a more accessible set, facilitating the balance of characteristics at the beginning of the project. In addition, the additional increase in DPS from the non-a girl is an extremely pleasant acquisition, since "Dislodged" is a good ability that deals pleasant damage to single targets.
Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Musketeer of Wild Wheat Guard of Wuthering Snow	2 parts "Messenger of the Hacker Space": +6% speed. 2 parts Wild Wheat Arrow: +12% attack power. 2 parts Snowstorm Guardian: Reduces damage taken by 8%.	The set is 2x2, which can be equipped if there are problems with survival in high-end 'closed' content (Simulated universe/Forgotten Hall).
Eagle of Twilight Line	2 parts: Increases wind damage by 10%. 4 parts: After using the ultimate, advances action by 25%.	A specific variant that is considered mostly for the later game. Allows more turns to be taken within a cycle by advancing action. However, it requires consistent use of the ultimate, at least 2-3 times per turn, to fully realize the passive bonus.

Planar ornaments

Name	Effects	Recommendation
Sprightly Vonwacq	2 parts: Increases your energy regeneration rate by 5%. If the owner's speed is 120 units. (or higher), then at the beginning of the battle, its action advances by 40%.	An perfect option for the Whistling Flame guild member, as it provides a small boost to mana regeneration and also significantly advances its flow at the beginning of the battle. Thus, the character will be among the first to activate the main abilities and cast Benediction on the priority DPS unit in advance.
Fleet of the Ageless	2 parts: increases max. health by 12%. If the owner's speed is 120 units. (or higher), the attack power of all allies is increased by an additional 8%.	An excellent option that will suit the fox both in the early and later stages of the game due to the increase in HP, which will increase survivability, and an additional positive effect on ATK - similarly, crit dmg will benefit damage dealers.
Broken keel	2 parts: Increases wearer's resistance to effects by 10%. If effect resistance is greater than or equal to 30%, crit. The damage of all allies is increased by 10%.	Perfect for battles against monsters that impose various negative statuses on party members. If, later, due to additional characteristics on relics, it is possible to get 30% resistance to effects in total, the fox will also begin to increase the crit dmg of partners, and this attacking stat is extremely important for most DPS characters.
Penacony, Land of the Dreams	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 5%. Increases damage dealt by allies of the same type as the owner by 10%.	A great set to support Lightning DPS: Jing Yuan, Serval, Kafka or Arlan will be able to increase their damage by 10%. Passively increases mana regeneration, which will allow you to use the ultimate more often.
Lushaka, the Sunken Seas	2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 5%. If the owner is not in first place in the team, the attack power of the character in first place increases by 12%.	A more versatile set, not tied to the Lightning element. However, in this case, instead of a direct increase in damage, ATK is offered. To implement the buff, you need to add the main DD to the first slot of the team, and the representative of the Foxian People to any remaining free slot.

Team Guide for Tingyun in HSR

In a team, Tingyun plays a supporting role due to Harmony: she spreads positive effects to partners, increasing their damage. The fox heroine will be gladly accepted by partners of any Path: from the Hunt to Nihility, from Erudition to Destruction.

Which characters are suitable?

Character	Damage Path and Type	Features
The Trailblazer	Destruction Physical	A good legendary hero who can cover most of the starting content (up to the story part) Xianzhou Luofu). Her technique restores HP, her ultimate ability increases damage from skills and basic attack.
Jingliu	Destruction Ice	Has an "expensive" superpower (140 energy), which plays an important role in the rotation. The Ambassador of the Sky-Faring Commission will allow Jingliu to restore energy much faster and consistently use the ultimate in battle.
Blade	Destruction Wind	A strong DPS unit capable of dealing stunning damage with his ultimate. Will appreciate support in the form of ATK buffs, as well as additional mana to activate his super ability.
Imbibitor Lunae	Destruction Imaginary	A powerful DPS unit that occupies fairly high positions in tier lists. Needs representatives of Harmony, whose skills are aimed at distributing increases to significant characteristics for damage dealers.
Mydei	Destruction Imaginary	The partner of the Whistling Flame guild will be a budget option of Harmony for Mydei and will give the immortal Chrysos Heir good bonuses in the form of increased damage and mana restoration. The latter will be especially nice, since the hero will be able to use the ultimate more often (high DPS, HP restoration, accumulation of a certain number of "Charges").
Yunli	Destruction Physical	Most of the character's damage comes from the enhanced counterattacks performed while the ultimate is active. For this reason, external sources of energy restoration, such as the Fox Nation's ult, are very useful for Yunli.
Clara	Destruction Physical	A strong 5-star tank whose mechanics are tied to bonus attacks. Mobs attacking the girl receive the mark of Svarog. Subsequently, the "marked" enemies receive increased damage from her skill.
Arlan	Destruction Lightning	DPS hero whose damage increases proportionally to the health lost. Needs serious investments if you want to see high damage, as well as support from the Path of Harmony.
Hook	Destruction Fire	The leader of the Moles with explosive damage, which applies the negative status "Burn" to mobs and thus provides the team with passive damage. Effectively breaks fire vulnerability of several victims at once.
Xueyi	Destruction Quantum	A flexible damage dealer who can ignore the enemy's vulnerability type while reducing their toughness by a record number of points (120). Can be the core of a group, and also works well as a secondary DPS. Excellent at implementing the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador buffs and will be able to use her ultimate more often to deprive enemies of any shields.
Misha	Destruction Ice	The character is flexible in choosing a role and copes well in the position of both the main damage dealer and sub-DPS. The key skill, superpower, Freezes monsters and deals damage to several targets with a bounce.
Aglaea	Remembrance Lightning	The member of the Whistling Flame guild will be a great F2P support for Aglaea, who has a high need to maintain the Supreme Stance state from her superpower. Pouring energy through the foxian's ult will speed up the rotation, and the buffs to ATK and increased damage will be positively received not only by the demigoddess, but also by her memosprite.
The Trailblazer	Remembrance Ice	Great support even for those units that don't have the summon mechanic (i.e. memosprite): Increases the crit dmg of allies, advances the action, and also deals additional true-type damage.
Seele	The Hunt Quantum	One of the best representatives of the Path of the Hunt, attacks with a quantum element. Has powerful DPS, after killing an enemy, performs an additional action.
Boothill	The Hunt Physical	An excellent damage dealer, easily dealing with single targets. It is not due to the Duel mode, during which his basic attack becomes stronger and reduces toughness faster. He will benefit from an increase in damage and ATK, as well as a recharge for the ult, which imposes physical vulnerability.
Topaz and Numby	The Hunt Fire	A DPS hero who specializes in bonus attacks. Receives huge advantages in combination with characters who also know how to perform bonus attacks. In addition, she can exist as an independent damage dealer, occupying the main position in the group.
Doctor Ratio	The Hunt Imaginary	The Imaginary follower of the Hunt specializes in destroying single targets through high damage and bonus attacks. The negative status “Wiseman's Folly” caused by the use of the ultimate, as well as the “Intellectual Midwifery” skill, with some chance allow Doctor Ratio to perform an additional action.
Yanqing	The Hunt Ice	A legendary unit from the standard banner that boasts high damage. Increases crit dmg and crit rate with skills, which simplifies the selection of characteristics on planar ornaments and cavern relics.
Dan Heng	The Hunt Wind	A free character that can be obtained by completing the main story campaign. Being a 4-star hero, has quite high damage. Effectively breaks wind vulnerability and reduces the speed of enemies when dealing crit hits.
Sushang	The Hunt Physical	A strong heroine of the Hunt, who is not inferior in efficiency and power to legendary fighters of a similar focus. With her main skills, she deals good damage. She requires support in the form of the Path of Harmony in the team.
Jing Yuan	Erudition Lightning	One of the strongest representatives of the Path of Erudition, who summons the Lightning Lord to the battlefield, who fights on par with others. Will be glad to have a representative of Harmony in the team (or two heroes of the same focus at once, as he really likes buffs to increase DPS).
The Herta	Erudition Ice	The outstanding scientist deals devastating damage with her enhanced skill and super ability, and due to her mechanic's features, she needs another hero of the Path of Erudition. However, considering that she is also the core of the party, she will benefit from additional support from Harmony, as this will allow her to deal damage even more effectively.
Rappa	Erudition Imaginary	Plays from break and specializes in depleting enemy toughness. At the same time, she deals massive damage to all mobs on the battlefield on a stable basis with the help of the increased basic attack received from the ultimate. Benefits from the Foxian Folk representative's buffs, such as increased overall power, ATK, and mana regeneration.
Argenti	Erudition Physical	An area damage dealer with two ultimate modes. Automatically restores energy for each hit on a target, but may require a boost from the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador. Accumulates Apotheosis status levels during combat, gradually increasing its critical chance.
Jade	Erudition Quantum	A secondary DPS character who prefers to fight against groups of monsters: the number of enemies on the battlefield directly affects the rate at which charge levels accumulate, which allow bonus attacks. The skill assigns a partner as a "Debt Collector", which additionally increases their speed by 30. When the "Debt Collector" strikes, they deal quantum damage to each enemy hit equal to Jade's ATK. In doing so, the "Debt Collector" spends 2% of their max HP.
Himeko	Erudition Fire	A Fire alternative to Jing Yuan that applies the "Burn" debuff to victims. Quite good at dealing area damage due to the stunning super ability. After accumulating 3 "Charges", the bonus attacks enemies in the area.
Herta	Erudition Ice	Free unit that can be obtained in simulated universe. Not bad at the beginning of the game, but later on needs additional support and leveling. Deals area damage, and also performs a bonus attack when the enemy's HP is 50% or lower.
Serval	Erudition Lightning	A budget version of Jing Yuan that deals high area DPS due to its super ability. Applies the negative status "Shock" to enemies, thus providing the group with periodic damage. Good at breaking Lightning vulnerability.
Qingque	Erudition Quantum	Free character that can be obtained for completing Forgotten Hall. Has quite an interesting gameplay mechanic with identical jade tiles.
Bronya	Harmony Wind	One of the best heroes of the Path of Harmony, who interacts well with the member of the Whistling Flame guild. Can become a support for DPS heroes and, together with the foxian girl, provide stunning damage.
Sunday	Harmony Imaginary	The character is mainly focused on supporting his teammates with summons, but he also spreads many useful and versatile buffs that will be useful to any damage dealer. In particular, Sunday increases damage and crit. indicators, advances the action and restores mana.
Robin	Harmony Physical	A top-tier Harmony representative whose skills focus on increasing outgoing damage, crit dmg, and ATK. When using her superpower, she advances action of all teammates by 100%.
Asta	Harmony Fire	An affordable but extremely useful support unit. Offers bonuses to ATK when stacking talent charges, and its super ability increases the speed of all allies, providing an advantage to the entire party.
Hanya	Harmony Physical	Increases ATK and speed with super ability, and with skill, like Sparkle, generates action points. This allows teammates to use the skill much more often, including the fox girl.
Yukong	Harmony Imaginary	Similarly, works well with the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador. In particular, Yukong will benefit from the energy recovery buff, and the Whistling Flame Guild member will benefit from the ATK boost. Together, they will provide the team with a large number of buffs.
Ruan Mei	Harmony Ice	Support with damage, speed and break buffs. Can delay mobs, prolong the break state and deal significant damage on her own.
Sparkle	Harmony Quantum	The main advantage of Sparkle is not only the increase in crit dmg, but also the overall outgoing damage. The Masked Fool directly affects the increase in the number of action points used during the battle, and also contributes to their accelerated recovery.
Tribbie	Harmony Quantum	The superpower is one of the girl's main skills, as it contains a key buff to increase the damage received by enemies. If necessary, she can use the energy recovery from the Foxian's ult to boost all her partners and additionally deal damage in the area.

Enemies affected by "Ashen Roast" receive increased damage. The super ability, in turn, deals a high level of damage, and also imposes a third-party debuff that increases the DPS from offensive ultimate skills.
Fugue	Nihility Fire	Is a debuffer that supports teams focused on depleting monsters' stamina. It increases the effect of break, allows you to ignore vulnerabilities, and further reduces the defense of enemies thanks to the negative status "Foxian Prayer". In addition, she is capable of independently inflicting good damage with her ultimate and enhanced strike.
Acheron	Nihility Lightning	Provided that Acheron has E2 unlocked, she can interact with representatives of the Path of Harmony. This is due to the fact that the eidolon allows you to get the full buff from the Abyss trace even with 1 hero of Nihility. The combination is also possible if the loss of additional bonus damage is not critical.
Silver Wolf	Nihility Quantum	Has debuffs that reduce the enemy target's defense, ATK, and speed. The skill creates a weakness of a random type - the vulnerability thus obtained always corresponds to the element of one of the allies.

Aventurine	Preservation Imaginary	Places shields and renews them during combat after activating an ultimate, as well as performing a bonus attack. Almost undemanding to skill points. In addition to providing protective functions, he helps with damage. The perfect team for it is a cooperation of several heroes who can perform a bonus attack. He is also good in other teams, but performs bonus attacks a little less often.
Gepard	Preservation Ice	One of the best shielders in the game. With the skill he can freeze the victim, thereby delaying their action for 1 cycle. Both the technique and the ultimate apply a shield to all allies (including himself).

Best team samples

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the best teams for the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Jing Yuan Argenti Imbibitor Lunae	Sunday Tribbie Sparkle	Tingyun	Huohuo Lynx	The selected independent DPS character with a dependence on the ultimate is strengthened by additional support: Sunday primarily buffs Jing Yuan but also provides many useful bonuses to others. Sparkle, in turn, buffs crits and advances the action. Tribbie is a universal support that increases break of all types of resistance and DPS on enemies. At the same time, she deals good damage in the area. The Foxian Folk representative, as the heroine of Harmony, increases damage, restores mana and gives an increase to ATK. The chosen representative of the Path of Abundance ensures the survival of the team and helps in getting rid of negative statuses.
Seele Yanqing Sushang	Bronya Hanya	Tingyun	Bailu Gallagher Gepard	A team that is extremely easy to build and can contain both legendary and epic heroes: The Hunt's representatives deal single-target damage and deal with bosses or elite "large" mobs fairly quickly with the support of a Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador. The armor acts as a support for the fox girl, but can be replaced with another unit of her Path or a debuffer that will inflict negative statuses on enemies. Characters of the Path of Preservation or Abundance are selected based on personal preferences: if it is comfortable to play with a healer, then take Gallagher or Bailu; same for the shielders.
Kafka	Black Swan Guinaifen Sampo	Tingyun	Any hero Path of Abundance	Dot team. Kafka — is the core of the group. She instantly activates the imposed DoT effects and thus deals increased damage. Black Swan, Guinaifen or Sampo act as secondary damage dealers, whose main purpose is to impose statuses with first damage. The Whistling Flame guild member restores energy and increases the inflicted DPS.
Boothill Rappa Xueyi	Ruan Mei Imaginary MC Fugue	Tingyun	Lingsha Gallagher	A team against break with Boothill, Rappa or Xueyi. Ruan Mei, the Trailblazer or Fugue are supports that are perfect for both Galactic Rangers due to their break increase. The Foxian Nation representative will help with mana restoration for one of the teammates' ultimate abilities and other buffs. Lingsha or Gallagher heal, damage and increase damage after break.
Acheron	Silver Wolf Pela Jiaoqiu	Tingyun	Gallagher Fire MC	A team with Acheron E2. With the 2nd Eidolon, you can only use 1 Nihility ally to get the max buff from the Abyss trace. The Ambassador increases ATK and damage dealt, and can restore energy to any ally. Gallagher protects the team and can also debuff. For the Nihility slot, you can use, for example, Silver Wolf, Pela, or Jiaoqiu.
Jingliu Blade	Pela Bronya Ruan Mei	Tingyun	Fu Xuan Luocha Lynx	As a bright representative of Destruction, Jingliu or Blade takes the position of the main DPS character. Pela reduces the defense of monsters, on E4 it reduces the resistance of enemies to the ice element, Bronya is engaged in action advance and Ruan Mei accelerates the break of vulnerability. The member of the Whistle Flame guild increases ATK and helps restore the mana of Jingliu or the support of Harmony. Fu Xuan / Lynx / Luocha support the survivability of allies and remove negative statuses.
Yunli Clara Doctor Ratio Himeko	Topaz Robin Jade	Tingyun	Aventurine Lynx	FuA team. As the main damage dealer, Yunli, Dr. Ratio or Clara will do, and it is recommended to put Robin, Topaz or Jade as the second support. All of these characters play in harmony with each other and receive buffs from the bundle. The fox girl restores energy, increases ATK and imposes a bonus for the damage dealer's damage. If Yunli or Clara is in the team, it is advisable to take March 7 or Lynx to increase their chance of becoming the target of enemy attacks. Aventurine helps with shields, in addition, the character's bonus attacks in such a combination work flawlessly.
The Herta	Jade Serval	Tingyun	Lingsha	A team with The Herta, who needs another representative of Erudition, as it significantly boosts not only her, but also the rest of the group. The optimal addition to such a build would be a buffer/debuffer, spreading beneficial effects or debuff enemies. In addition, it is worth noting that the legendary Herta values partners who are able to attack often and thus accumulate stacks of Interpretation, which means that similar units can be considered for the remaining support positions. For example, Lingsha not only heals well, but also actively deals damage with the help of a bonus attack.

Let's take a closer look at alternative builds for F2P players:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Dan Heng Physical MC	Serval Herta Qingque	Tingyun	March 7 Ice Natasha	F2P team, where Dan Heng or the Physical MC act as the main DPS character. Representatives of the Path of Erudition are their support, providing the team with additional area damage. The Ambassador of the Sky-Faring Commission gives out buffs, her priority is the characters of the first and second positions. Natasha heals and, if desired, can be replaced by March 7 for subsequent imposition of shields and distribution of the negative status "Freeze" to mobs.
Sushang Hook Luka	Asta Gui Yukong	Tingyun	Fire MC Gallagher	The group works well against bosses and has a single-target main DPS. Sushang focuses on gradually reducing the stamina bar, while Hook and Luka rely more on negative periodic statuses. The chosen character is assisted by universal buffers Asta or Yukong. Gui, in turn, plays well with Hook, as she activates Burn on targets with his ult. The member of the Whistling Flame guild pours mana into the main damage dealer, increases ATK and generates action points.
Arlan Misha Qingque	Fire MC Gallagher	Tingyun	Lynx Natasha	The tactic with two defensive supports is used to pass a difficult battle. The self-sufficient Misha or Arlan, who are inferior to the supports in skill points, will do in place of the damage-dealing hero. It is also acceptable to consider Qingque with high independent damage. In 2 cells, various followers of Preservation and Abundance are selected, ideally those who can inflict additional damage: the Fire Trailblazer or Gallagher.

Conclusion

Tingyun is one of the best Harmony characters among the 4-star units, which imposes pleasant positive bonuses that increase the DPS of allies. The representative of the Fox people is undemanding to the build: the only necessary stat is ATK, which directly affects the power of the skill used. Another additional stat that is in high demand is mana recovery, aimed at frequent use of "Amidst the Rejoicing Clouds".

With an epic rarity, the Sky-Faring Commission Ambassador is "adored" by many heroes of other Paths. The foxian girl is capable of turning any team into the strongest combat group. Proper leveling will reward the team with "tasty" bonuses, with which the main damage dealers will subsequently be able to clear the relevant part of the content in an easier way - for example, "Forgotten Hall" or other endgame modes. The main thing is to provide the Whistling Flame guild partner with good Path of Preservation or Abundance support to ensure her survivability.

Achievements

There is one achievement associated with the representative of the Foxian Folk:

• Up the Heat, Out the Chill - Launch the voice lines of Tingyun's basic attacks and Jiaoqiu in the same battle at regular speed. Reward: star jade ×5.
