Leaked Nerfs to Xiangli Yao’s Resonance Liberation
Xiangli Yao is a free character that can be obtained from the event “By Moon’s Grace.” He has become a focal point of community discussions due to his super powerful abilities. Now, according to leaks from well-known insider Izumi, the scaling of Resonance Liberation by Xiangli Yao has been reduced. This ability’s Cogitation Model damage scaled at 737.42% previously, but based on new data, it is down to 670.38%, which is a very significant decrease in the character’s potential for burst damage.
The leak also detailed further reductions across all levels:
Level 1: 737.42% → 670.38%
Level 2: 797.89% → 725.35%
Level 3: 858.35% → 780.32%
Level 10: 1466.06% → 1332.78%
Level 20: 2675.42% → 2432.20%
These nerfs, however, do not apply to buffs obtained from entering the Intuition state and other abilities that are triggered because of Resonance Liberation. Therefore, most of the adjustments have been regarding how players can one-shot enemies, so he will still remain a usable main DPS option.
