UPGRADE PRIORITY
OUR REVIEW
How to Use
Hiyuki is a Main DPS who deals damage counted as ATK. Resonance Liberation, and when played well, she deals very high damage.
Gameplay Style
Hiyuki's rotation can seem complicated but in reality it's just spamming Normal Attacks. That said, you can optimize her rotation to maximize damage.
PROS & CONS
Pros
A very strong Main DPS
Not dependent on Chisa / Mornye
Cons
Without Lynae or her dedicated Sub-DPS she loses a lot of value
Requires her signature weapon
RECOMMENDED ROTATION
Intro - Frostedge: Hiyuki always enters via her Intro, never first. Deals Glacio DMG and instantly restores 200 points of Dedication.
Resonance Skill - Present Self: Deals Glacio DMG and enhances the next NA III, granting 100 bonus Dedication points upon casting.
Basic Attack - Present Self III & IV: Optional but applies additional Glacio Chafe stacks before the Heavy Attack.
Heavy Attack - Frost Splinter: Consumes 300 Dedication points to deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation, applies 1 Glacio Chafe stack and unlocks Foreclaiming: Inward Vision.
Foreclaiming: Inward Vision (Ult): Deals heavy Glacio DMG, applies 4 Glacio Chafe stacks, grants 3 Frostharden Iai points and restores 50 Frostheart points. Activates Foreclaimed Self. Does not consume Resonance Energy.
Frostblight: Jade Cleave & Petalfall: Cast both Frostblights to deal Glacio DMG and regenerate Frostheart. Removes Frostbind from the target.
Basic Attack - Foreclaimed Self (1-2-3-4-5): All 5 hits deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation and regenerate Frostheart. Hits III, IV and V each apply 1 Glacio Chafe stack.
Iai Stance (Basic Attack - Iai) x3: The previous 5 attacks and skills regenerated ≥ 300 Frostheart points — chains 3 Iai consuming 100 Frostheart points each. Thanks to Frostharden Iai, applies 3 Glacio Chafe stacks and generates 3 Whiteout Bitterfrost stacks.
Heavy Attack - Bitterfrost: Foreclaimed Self: Available when Whiteout Bitterfrost is full (3 stacks) from previous Iais. Hold Normal Attack to consume the 3 stacks, generate 1 Snowforged Blade point and deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation.
Frostblight: Jade Cleave & Petalfall (optional): Not mandatory — only cast if the Cooldown is ready. Allows generating extra Snowforged Blade before the Ult, but does not block the rotation if unavailable.
Foreclaiming: Blade Liberation (Ult): Consumes accumulated Snowforged Blade to amplify the damage multiplier. Deals heavy Glacio DMG and ends Foreclaimed Self.
Echo: Activate the Echo to deal additional Glacio DMG.
Outro - Snowlight Blessing: Swap to buff the next member: Glacio DMG dealt to targets affected by Glacio Chafe is Amplified by 20% for 20 seconds.
Tip : This rotation can be extended if necessary, but it is not mandatory. You can perform all 3 Iai stances at the same time, however in S2 doing Normal ATK - Comp - Iai x3 is a mistake, which is why it is better to get used to this rotation.

BEST TEAM COMPOSITIONS
Lynae Team
Chisa is preferred with Hiyuki but as long as you have the weapon, any support will work fine. In 3.3, this is a very strong team. Note that Hiyuki's dedicated Sub-DPS will eventually arrive and will be preferred.
Liberation Team
Playable but with Jianxin the rotation is longer, Changli is preferred.
Glacio Team
This team is really playable even if it remains below the Lynae team.
F2P Team
Hiyuki without a 5-star team is tough. Sanhua and Mortefi work well together, but this kind of team doesn't work for Hiyuki since no character boosts Liberation DMG. Sanhua and Mortefi boost ATK via their S6, and Sanhua is slightly better since Hiyuki deals a tiny bit of Normal ATK damage.
CALCULATIONS
Resonance Liberation
This value represents damage counted as Resonance Liberation in an optimal rotation with her Lynae - Chisa team.
Glacio Chafe
This value represents damage counted as Debuff: Glacio Chafe in an optimal rotation with her Lynae - Chisa team.

Rupture
This value represents damage counted as Rupture in an optimal rotation with her Lynae - Chisa team.
Lynae Chisa Team
This is a very strong team that can deal even more damage depending on how you play it. Note that this is not Hiyuki's best team.
Lynae Chisa Team, F2P Chisa Weapon
Chisa's weapon is not mandatory but you lose a lot of damage without it. If you have Hiyuki's weapon it's close, otherwise... good luck.
Lynae Mornye Team
This team is very strong but if you already play a Rupture / Tension character, pulling Hiyuki's dedicated Sub-DPS is a good idea.
Lynae Shorekeeper Team
Spectro

This team is equivalent to an Augusta Iuno Shorekeeper team, or slightly below.

Team Hiyuki Mornye
Without S1, Mornye cannot activate her 40% damage bonus, so she loses a lot of value here.
Team Hiyuki Shorekeeper

Team Hiyuki Verina
A very strong team, above Augusta premium team but below Lucy premium team.
General Conditions
Echo Stats
Note: Percentages represent the damage difference compared to S0.
Team Lynae S0 R1 - Chisa S0 R1.
What is the best build for Hiyuki?
The optimal build for Hiyuki is the Wishes of Quiet Snowfall 5-piece set (4-3-3-1-1) with Crit DMG on Cost 4 and 1× Glacio% + 1× ATK% on Cost 3. Her signature weapon Frostburn is recommended, otherwise Blazing Brilliance or Red Spring are the best alternatives.
What echo sets should I use for Hiyuki?
The best set is Wishes of Quiet Snowfall in 5 pieces (4-3-3-1-1 configuration) with Crit DMG on Cost 4 and 1× Glacio% + 1× ATK% on Cost 3. The Freezing Frost set has no value for her.
What rotation should I use with Hiyuki?
Hiyuki rotation: Intro → Skill → NA III & IV → Heavy Attack Frost Splinter → Liberation - Foreclaiming: Inward Vision → Frostblight → Iai Stance (Iai x1) → Foreclaimed NA x5 → Iai Stance (Iai x2) → Foreclaimed NA x5 → Iai Stance (Iai x2) → Frostblight (if available) → Ult → Echo → Outro.
What are the best teams for Hiyuki?
The best team is Hiyuki + Lynae + Chisa. Chisa can be replaced by Mornye or Shorekeeper. The team without Lynae loses a lot of potential — Hiyuki relies heavily on a Glacio Sub-DPS to maximize Glacio Bite damage.
Which talents should I prioritize for Hiyuki?
Hiyuki talent priority: 1) Resonance Liberation (41% of damage), 2) Normal Attack (28%), 3) Forte (24%), 4) Resonance Skill (5%), 5) Intro (2%). Level up Liberation first as that is where most of her damage is concentrated.

Basic Attack - Present Self III & IV: Optional but applies additional Glacio Chafe stacks before the Heavy Attack.
Heavy Attack - Frost Splinter: Consumes 300 Dedication points to deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation, applies 1 Glacio Chafe stack and unlocks Foreclaiming: Inward Vision.

Basic Attack - Foreclaimed Self (1-2-3-4-5): All 5 hits deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation and regenerate Frostheart. Hits III, IV and V each apply 1 Glacio Chafe stack.
Iai Stance (Basic Attack - Iai) x3: The previous 5 attacks and skills regenerated ≥ 300 Frostheart points — chains 3 Iai consuming 100 Frostheart points each. Thanks to Frostharden Iai, applies 3 Glacio Chafe stacks and generates 3 Whiteout Bitterfrost stacks.
Heavy Attack - Bitterfrost: Foreclaimed Self: Available when Whiteout Bitterfrost is full (3 stacks) from previous Iais. Hold Normal Attack to consume the 3 stacks, generate 1 Snowforged Blade point and deal Glacio DMG counted as Resonance Liberation.

Hiyuki DPR Team Lucilla Standard Weapon
The damage stays very high even with Lucilla on a standard weapon, making it a very good choice.

A very strong team, equivalent to Luuk premium team. Chisa is preferable, but this version will work without issue.
Hiyuki DPR Team Hiyuki Verina
A very strong team, above Augusta premium team but below Lucy premium team.
