Team compositions

Jinhsi teamUseful teammate
Main damageJinhsiLeads the damage planSetup helperYinlinSets up the damage dealerSupport slotShorekeeperCompletes the team

Yinlin supports Jinhsi alongside Shorekeeper. Jinhsi wants a coordinated attacker to feed her burst window. Youhu is a specialist sustain for Zhezhi or Yinlin because her Outro amplifies their Coordinated Attacks; she is not a generic replacement in every Jinhsi team.

Iuno teamUseful teammate
Main damageIunoLeads the damage planSetup helperYinlinSets up the damage dealerSupport slotShorekeeperCompletes the team

Yinlin supports Iuno alongside Shorekeeper. Iuno can lead her own team. The current Chems DPR Iuno sheet places Ciaccona plus Shorekeeper first, with Ciaccona plus Aero Rover next and Jianxin plus Ciaccona as a longer-rotation alternative. Yinlin plus Shorekeeper and the Lynae plus Mornye core remain documented routes when the top Ciaccona options are unavailable.

Xiangli Yao teamUseful teammate

Yinlin supports Xiangli Yao alongside Shorekeeper. Lynae is Xiangli Yao's strongest general buffer and enables Mornye's full Tune support. Yinlin remains the natural Electro/Liberation alternative; Changli is expert-only quickswap and is not ranked as a normal recommendation.
