Character Summary
Daiyan is a high-mobility utility damage dealer most known for her accessible, high-uptime buff dispel on S1. Her on-demand buff dispel provides crucial utility, allowing her to handle specific stage mechanics effectively. In addition to this utility, Daiyan offers significant Stability shred through her skills, helping to rapidly break through enemy Stability. Daiyan’s utility gives her the flexibility to slot comfortably into a variety of team compositions.
Fixed Keys
Fixed Keys core to Daiyan's function are:
02-01 - Resonance: While the impact of mobility is less tangible than raw damage output, the additional movement on top of Daiyan’s already high mobility all but guarantees fast access to map objectives (and all other positioning needs).
02-03 - Ascending to the Heavens: The additional 3 starting Confectance Index greatly improves Daiyan’s tempo by supplementing her somewhat conditional Confectance Index gain.
04-03 - Melodious Heartfelt: Additional stack generation greatly accelerates the rate at which Daiyan stacks her unique mechanic (Tuning), for all the benefits that come with the stacks. The conditional effect is so easy for Daiyan to trigger that it can be treated as a given.
Mod Key
Daiyan doesn’t have a Mod Key available yet.
Character Function
Daiyan's primary use case is boss content, where her on-demand buff dispel and high stability shred can be used to great effect. Daiyan’s buff removal can bypass annoying boss mechanics (e.g. Deichgraf DEF buffs) while simultaneously (or even just) filling the role of stability shredder to quickly grind away bosses’ stability-based damage reduction passives (e.g. Deichgraf Armored Wall II, Tumorhynchus Spreading Infection).
Beyond utility, Daiyan also contributes to the team in some limited capacity as a damage dealer, made possible with her Tuning mechanic, a stacking (temporary and permanent) buff that steadily increases her Crit rate% and Crit DMG% (among other things - see Passive). Importantly, Tuning stacks trigger Daiyan’s passive Interception attack for a 150% damage multiplier per turn before accounting for her main action.
Character Synergies
Daiyan is a highly versatile character who excels in teams requiring dispel mechanics or those facing bosses with high stability gauges. Her ability to efficiently reduce stability weakens enemies and enhances overall team performance, making her a valuable addition to various team compositions.
As an enabler for Qiongjiu’s Action Support, Daiyan reliably triggers two procs per turn, providing consistent synergy. While Qiongjiu has other enabler options, such as Tololo, Ullrid, and Belka, Daiyan’s consistency and utility make her a standout choice for this role.
Vertebrae Breakpoints
SSR Characters are reviewed at V0/V1. However, for those especially dedicated players, it is worth noting Daiyan’s significant dupe power spikes at:
V4: Daiyan's V4 offers a notable damage increase, including a +30% boost to her Interception damage multiplier and improvements to her passive values. While these upgrades enhance her performance, the overall impact is marginal and does not significantly alter her role or utility. As such, players should carefully consider the high cost of pulling for V4.
Pros
Highly accessible on-demand buff dispel to bypass bothersome enemy/boss mechanics.
Excellent mobility characteristic of the Vanguard class.
Despite dealing physical damage, her kit allows her to deal high stability damage on par with that of elemental damage dealers.
Interception can trigger support attacks.
Cons
Tuning stacks take time to ramp up, and even with the additional offensive stats, Daiyan’s personal damage output remains decent at best.
Physical damage type is inherently worse than elemental damage types as it more accurately represents an absence-of-damage-type, and thus cannot capitalize on any related systems.
For Global tier list, both SR and SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes). For CN tier list, SSR characters are rated at V0 (no dupes) and SR characters are rated at V6 (max dupes).

This section is still work in progress, so some synergies might be missing! We will update the information as soon as we can.
Global Synergies:
- Qiongjiu - Daiyan can attack multiple times per turn which helps QJ with consistently triggering her Action Support and in return, the enemy gets DEF Down, improving her own damage.
