Hiyuki Character Overview

Rarity: 5-star | Attribute: Glacio | Weapon Type: Sword

Hiyuki's combat rhythm is extremely smooth – a graceful dodge followed by a magnificent iaido slash. Each cut delivers both satisfying impact and a visual feast.

She deals powerful Resonance Liberation damage. When specific attacks hit, she consumes Glacio Chafe stacks on enemies to trigger Frostbind. By accumulating different types of energy, she enters Present Self and Foreclaimed Self. By stacking Snowforged Blade, she can freely choose how many stacks to consume when casting "Foreclaiming: Blade Liberation" to increase damage.

 

Skill Priority

Hiyuki's damage is heavily weighted toward Resonance Liberation (including her ultimate and the iaido slash in her Resonance Circuit). Check out our Hiyuki kit for more skills' details.

• Priority order:

Inherent Skill: Light Snow > Inherent Skill: No Transient World > Resonance Circuit > Resonance Liberation > Basic Attack > Resonance Skill > Outro Skill.

Weapon Choice Notes

Hiyuki's signature weapon looks cool – elegant and powerful, and its stats and skills provide Glacial DMG bonus, Frostbite Effect bonus, and Resonance Liberation DEF ignore, perfectly aligning with Hiyuki's rotation. If you plan to invest in her, the signature weapon is the first step. Among alternatives, Red Spring is recommended, or any double-crit 5-star sword. For 4-star options, the Battle Pass sword Feather Edge is solid.

Resonance Chain Recommendations

Hiyuki's Resonance Chain offers excellent improvements. Pull if you have resources or love the character.

• Springless (S1) : Increases the DMG Multipliers of all attack forms in Foreclaimed Self by 120%. Basic Attack Stage 3 gains an increased pulling range, drawing enemies toward the center. Stages 4 and 5 gain interruption immunity, improving output stability. After casting Foreclaiming: Inward Vision, enhances Basic Attack Stages 1 and 2, causing them to apply Glacio Chafe on hit, slightly improving anomaly stacking efficiency during Foreclaimed Self.
• Like Reeds on Tides (S4)
  Casting Frostblight increases the damage dealt by all nearby team members by 20% for 30 seconds, serving as a core teamwide buff. Each cast of Frostblight restores 18% of max HP, improving sustain and survivability. The out-of-combat recovery effect synergizes with S2 to enable frequent healing.
• To Burn Cold in Silence (S2)
  Increases Iai's DMG Multiplier by 125%, raising Hiyuki's Iai damage contribution. The new out-of-combat resource recovery effect significantly optimizes Hiyuki's startup and makes Hiyuki one of the best characters for overworld exploration.

↑ Key Resonance Chain

• Vessel of Thousand Wishes (S5)
  Significantly increases Resonance Skill DMG Multipliers.
• No Self, No Bound (S3)
  Hiyuki can gain 2 stacks of Snow Rust by herself (up from 1), lowering the team-building requirements for Glacio Chafe. Additionally, the new effect at 2 stacks of Snow Rust adds extra Glacio Bite DMG whenever Hiyuki applies Glacio Chafe, greatly enhancing Glacio Bite DMG.

↑ Key Resonance Chain

• Into a Night Without End (S6)
  Increases Hiyuki's Crit. DMG by an additional 40%. Team members applying Glacio Chafe can also trigger the extra Glacio Bite DMG, changing the trigger mechanism of Fine Snow and expanding its applicability. Greatly increases the Crit. DMG of Foreclaiming: Inward Vision and Foreclaiming: Blade Liberation.

Key Resonance Chain

 

Pull order advice:

R0S1 (character + weapon) →R2S1 (smooth overworld experience – iaido after iaido) → R3S1 (if you need flexible team building) → R6S1 (huge damage numbers)

 

 

Team Recommendations

Hiyuki + Lynea + Chisa

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Hiyuki	Lynae	Chisa

Built around Hiyuki's skill "Light Snow" – team members need to apply Frostbite, Void Effect, or Resonance Shift. Lynea provides massive buffs, and Chisa is the healer for effect teams. Chisa is also from the same region as Hiyuki – possibly hidden synergy! If the rotation feels long, consider swapping Chisa for Shorekeeper.

Hiyuki Rotation: AA → Intro → Z → R1 → EE → AA → Execute → AAA → Dodge → Basic Attack Iai x3 → Z → Hold R2 → Outro

 

Hiyuki + Lynea + Mornye

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Hiyuki	Lynae	Mornye

Linna + Mornye can buff almost any main DPS. Though Hiyuki isn't directly related to the Resonance Shift system, she's a Resonance Liberation-focused main DPS.

 

Low-Cost Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Hiyuki	Jianxin / Yangyang / Sanhua	Verina / Baizhi

For new players who can't build full teams yet, use standard or 4-star characters. Jianxin provides Resonance Liberation DMG boost, Yangyang provides energy regeneration, and Sanhua offers fast concerto. Verina is an easily obtainable standard healer.

If you love high-damage, visually stunning main DPS characters or want to experience exhilarating iaido combat, Hiyuki is a top-tier must-pull.
