Yi Xuan: The Inky Black Warrior Maiden, Ballad of Blood and Fire in the Forbidden Zone


Absolute Zone: Zero – Yi Xuan’s Song of Blood and Fire
In this land known as the “Absolute Zone,” a war maiden with the Xuanmo attribute is igniting the flames of the battlefield with her domineering presence. She is Yi Xuan, the relentless lightning that strikes fear into the hearts of her enemies.
Yi Xuan Overview
Yi Xuan, a Xuanmo-type nihilist agent from the Yunqi Mountain faction, possesses a trait coveted by all players – penetration. This ability allows her to ignore enemy defenses, slicing through their lines as effortlessly as a hot knife through butter. Her combat style revolves around lightning and Xuanmo arts, consuming lightning energy to accumulate technique points, which she then uses to unleash her ultimate skill. These points enable her to deal massive Xuanmo damage while entering a lightweight state, granting her rapid movement, powerful area attacks, and lightning energy recovery. Simply put, Yi Xuan is a relentless killer on the battlefield, an output machine that needs no introduction.
Yi Xuan Skill Priority
When evaluating Yi Xuan’s skills, we can describe them with the following ratings:

Core Skill: Cire Skill – ★★★★★ (A must-have at five stars to maximize Yi Xuan’s potential)
Chain Attack – ★★★★ (Four stars, extremely important but slightly less critical than the core skill)
Special Attack – ★★★★ (Four stars, significantly boosts damage in combat)
Basic Attack – ★★★ (Three stars, not the most crucial but still requires some enhancement)
Dodge – ★ (One star, only needs to meet basic requirements)
Assist – ★ (One star, largely unnecessary)

Yi Xuan’s Best Sound Engine
When equipping Yi Xuan, she has an exclusive sound engine that allows her to deal approximately 30% more damage compared to other sound engines. This is a massive boost, making it an essential choice.
Best Choice: Qing Ling Cage (S-Class)

Base Attack: 743
Attribute Enhancement: 30% HP
Sound Engine Effect (R1): Increases critical hit rate by 20%; When the wearer uses [Enhanced Special Attack], they gain the [Qing Ling Companion] effect, which can stack up to 2 layers and lasts 15 seconds. Entering combat grants 2 layers immediately, and re-triggering refreshes the duration. Each layer of [Qing Ling Companion] increases the wearer’s ether damage by 8%, and ether penetration damage from [Finishing Move] or [Enhanced Special Attack] by 10%.

Alternative Choices:

Denki Manbou (A-Class)

Base Attack: 594
Attribute Enhancement: 25% HP
Sound Engine Effect (R5): When [Chain Attack] or [Finishing Move] is activated, the wearer gains 1 layer of a buff. Each layer increases penetration by 128 points, stacking up to 3 layers, each lasting 12 seconds.

Henge Magic Cube (A-Class)

Base Attack: 594
Attribute Enhancement: 25% Attack
Sound Engine Effect (R5): When [Enhanced Special Attack] is used, critical damage is increased by 25.6% for 12 seconds. Additionally, if the target’s current HP is below 50% of their max HP, [Enhanced Special Attack] deals 32% more damage.
