✦Characters✦
Ruan Mei (limited 5-star character)
[Character Analysis]
She is an Ice-type support character that provides SPD and DMG boost, and can also increase the weakness break efficiency for the team. Ruan Mei's core mechanics lie in increasing allies’ DMG and the Weakness Break efficiency for 3 turns after releasing Skill. After releasing the Ultimate, she enhances allies’ all-type RES PEN and applies [Thanatoplum Rebloom] on enemies, extending the duration of enemies’ Weakness Broken status for 2 turns. Before the battle begins, release the Technique, and the next battle will automatically trigger the Skill once at the beginning. In the Simulated Universe, the team actively attacking enemies will always be regarded as attacking their Weakness to enter battle, providing Toughness reduction based on the number of blessings. Ruan Mei’s Talent is that increasing SPD for the team (excluding Ruan Mei), when allies break an target enemy's Weakness, deal additional Ice DMG to it.
[Suitable Team]
Ruan Mei can provide various powerful and versatile buffs for allies, and the buffs cover the entire team, showing extremely high versatility. She can be added to the majority of current teams.
Bronya (regular 5-star character)
[Character Analysis]

Bronya's core mechanism is that her Skill dispels 1 debuff from a single ally, allowing that ally to immediately act and gain a DMG boost for 1 turn. When her Ultimate is released, she can provide the entire team with ATK and CRIT DMG bonuses, lasting for 2 turns. Her Technique increases all allies' ATK for 2 turns after using her Technique before the battle. Bronya’s Trace node increases all allies’ DMG by 10% when Bronya is on the field.
[Suitable Team]
Bronya can provide various powerful and versatile buffs for teammates, such as dispelling debuffs and action advancing forward, and the buffs cover the entire team, showing extremely high versatility. She can be added to the majority of current teams. You can generally use the formula of main DPS + Bronya + two other survival/support positions.
Tingyun (regular 4-star character)
[Character Analysis]
Tingyun is a Lightning-type support character. Tingyun's core mechanism is that her Skill increases a single ally’s ATK, lasting for 3 turns. When her Ultimate is released, she can regenerate 50 Energy for a single ally and increase the target's DMG, lasting for 2 turns. Before the battle starts, releasing the Skill can restore 50 energy to Tingyun, and this effect can stack.
[Suitable Team]
Tingyun can provide energy and DMG boost for allies and she is the only support character who has the ability to recharge allies, showing extremely high versatility. She can be added to the majority of current teams. When paired with Bronya, Tingyun is extremely powerful.
Yukong (regular 4-star character)
[Character Analysis]
Yukong is a Imaginary-type support character that specialized in providing DMG boost. Yukong’s core mechanism is that after releasing the Skill, she obtains 2 stacks of “Roaring Bowstrings”. When “Roaring Bowstrings” is active, the ATK of all allies increases, and every time an ally's turn ends, Yukong loses 1 stack of “Roaring Bowstrings”. The turns in which the Ultimate is inserted, follow-up attacks turns, and the turns where Yukong casts her Skill do not consume Roaring Bowstrings. After using her Technique before battle, Yukong enters Sprint mode. In Sprint mode, her Movement SPD increases and Yukong gains 2 stacks of "Roaring Bowstrings" when she enters battle by attacking enemies. Yukong’s Trace node increases all allies’ Imaginary DMG by 10% when Yukong is on the field.
[Suitable Team]
Due to Yukong's Talent that increases Imaginary DMG, the most suitable team for her is an Imaginary team that focuses on Imaginary DMG. However, her high DMG boost also allows her to fit into other teams.
Asta ( regular 4-star character)
[Character Analysis]
Asta is a Fire-type support character specialized in DMG boost and SPD boost. Asta’s core mechanism lies in her Talent. Gains 1 stack of Charging for every different enemy hit by Asta plus an extra stack if the enemy hit has Fire Weakness. For every stack of Charging Asta has, all allies' ATK increases by 7%, up to 5 times. Starting from her second turn, Asta's Charging stack count is reduced by 3 at the beginning of every turn. Asta’s Ultimate increases SPD of all allies by 36 for 2 turns. Asta’s Trace node increases all allies’ Fire DMG by 10% when Asta is on the field.
[Suitable Team]
As a support character specialized in DMG and SPD boost, Asta exhibits good versatility and can be added to the majority of teams. The recommended formula is main DPS+Asta+ two other support/survival characters. Alternatively, she can be incorporated into DoT teams.
Hanya ( regular 4-star character）
[Character Analysis]
Hanya is a Physical support character who can provide DMG and SPD boost as well as additional skill points for the team. Hanya’s core mechanism is that after releasing her Skill, she applies [Burden] to enemies. For every 2 Basic ATKs, Skills, or Ultimates allies use on an enemy with [Burden], allies will immediately recover 1 Skill Point. [Burden] is only active on the latest target it is applied to, and will be dispelled automatically after the Skill Point recovery effect has been triggered 2 times. Her Ultimate increases the SPD and ATK of a target ally, lasting for 2 turns. When she releases the Technique before the battle starts, the next time the battle begins, she applies [Burden] equivalent to that applied by the Skill to a random enemy. Hanya’s Talent increases the DMG dealt by an ally who uses a Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate on an enemy inflicted with Burden, lasting for 2 turns.
[Suitable Team]
Hanya is a character that can use her Skill as Basic Attack. She provides the team with additional Skill Points and single-target DMG boost, making her suitable for teams that require frequent use of Skills, especially in a single DPS setup.

[Difficulty of Operation]
Ruan Mei
The use of Ruan Mei only needs to pay attention to the duration of Skill and Ultimate, and it has a low difficulty of operation.
Bronya
Bronya can be divided into two styles, high-speed and low-speed, based on practical combat and the speed of the main DPS (main C) in the team. Additionally, Bronya's team tends to consume a significant amount of skill points during battles, leading to situations where skill points may not be sufficient in practical combat. Overall, this results in a higher level of difficulty in her use.
Tingyun
The use of Tingyun only needs to pay attention to the duration of Skill and Ultimate, and it has a low difficulty of operation.
Yukong
Before reaching the E6, the use of Yukong’s Ultimate is quite inconvenient. In practical combat, if mistimed, the Roaring Bowstrings can easily be consumed before the main DPS takes action. It requires constant awareness of the team's output rhythm, making the use of Yukong extremely challenging.
Asta
In actual combats, Asta only needs to pay attention to her stacks of Charging and release Skills accordingly. The difficulty of use is low.
Hanya
In actual combats, Hanya only needs to pay attention to the effect of [Burden] and release Skills accordingly. The difficulty of use is low.
Conclusion
The difficulty of using Bronya and Yukong is higher, while the other Harmony characters are relatively easy to use.
