Recommended Endgame Stats for Changli

*Important — CRIT DMG shows 150% and Energy Regen shows 100% when you check in-game. The recommended stats below show how much on top of it you need to get.

ATK: 2100 or more
HP: 1500 or more
DEF: 1100 or more
FUSION DMG%: 60% or more
CRIT RATE%: 70%+ or 1/2 ratio with C.DMG
CRIT DMG% 140% or more
Energy Regeneration: 10-20%
- Changli's Ultimate is an important part of her damage and something you definitely want to have available right at the point of her rotation where she has 0 Enflamement charges. The reason for this is that her Ultimate grants her maximum Enflamement charges meaning - gaining the Ultimate late will delay your usual rotation or lead to you wasting Enflamement charges neither of which are ideal.
- For this reason, it's recommended you build roughly 10-20% Energy Regen on Changli, but you can get away with 0% depending on the team you pair her with and how much field time you dedicate to other characters.
- If you find yourself missing Changli's Ultimate window and end up wasting Enflamement try to get a little more Energy Regen or mix up your team comps.

Changli Main and Sub-DPS Teams

If you do not have Encore, Havoc Rover is your next best option as the Fusion team's Sub-DPS. This team focuses on quick swaps to maximize Changli’s DMG boosting the DMG with Baizhi.

When Changli is on the field, aim to charge her Forte as quickly as possible so you can quick swap.

Changli DPS F2P Team
Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Changli	Rover (Havoc)	Baizhi

Changli Limited DPS Team

Changli Limited DPS Team
Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Changli	Yinlin	Verina

With Changli as the team's Main DPS, your goal is to use her Resonance Liberation as much as possible since it instantly provides 4 stacks of her Forte, allowing her to immediately use her enhanced Heavy Attack.

With this, Yinlin should be the team's Sub-DPS since she can buff Changli's Resonance Liberation DMG and also do some Coordinated Attacks. Verina is the best candidate for the team's Support due to her buffs and healing.

Gameplay

Verina or Yinlin starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy using their optimal combos.
Once the Concerto Energy is fully charged, switch into Changli to cast her Intro Skill. Doing this already provides her with 1 stack of her Forte.
Gain 4 stacks of Forte by executing Changli's combos that provide Enflamement. Then, use her enhanced Heavy Attack to deal a lot of damage. Repeat this process until her Resonance Liberation is active.
Use Changli's Resonance Liberation and then immediately follow it up with her enhanced Heavy Attack.
When the Concerto Energy is full, switch out to the Sub-DPS or Support.
Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Changli Limited Sub-DPS Team
Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Encore	Changli	Verina

This team mainly boosts Encore's damage through Changli's Outro Skill and Verina's buffs.

When Changli is on-field, your goal is to always get four stacks of her Forte so you can maximize the damage of her enhanced Heavy Attack.

When the Concerto Energy is full, swap out to Encore to buff her.

Gameplay

Verina starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy using her optimal combos.
Once the Concerto Energy is already full, swap out to Changli to cast her Intro Skill and immediately gain a stack of Forte.
Execute Changli's optimal combos to get 4 stacks of Forte in order to activate her enhanced Heavy Attack. Do this until her Resonance Liberation is ready to use.
After casting Changli's Resonance Liberation, use her enhanced Heavy Attack. At this point, the Concerto Energy should be fully charged again. Ideally, switch to Encore to boost her Fusion DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG.
Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Use Ultimate to Fully Charge Forte
Outro Skill Increases Fusion and Resonance Liberation DMG

Changli Combos

Fast Stack Forte Combo
Combo: Intro Skill → Heavy Attack → BA (x3) → Plunge → BA (2x) → Inferno Rider (Echo) → BA → Res. Skill → BA → Res. Skill → BA → Heavy Attack → Ultimate (if available) → Heavy Attack → Switch Out
This combo is the fastest route to get full stacks on Changli's Forte Gauge so she can execute Flaming Sacrifice. If you have enough Energy Regen, you can charge your Resonance Liberation, that you can use to recharge your Forte Gauge again for another Flaming Sacrifice usage.
Also, note that dodging will make Changli go straight to BA3, one more hit to True Sight. Always evade and counterattack when possible!
Use Res. Liberation Immediately At the Start
Combo: Intro Skill → Ultimate (if available) → Heavy Attack → Heavy Attack → BA (x3) → Plunge → BA (2x) → Inferno Rider (Echo) → BA → Res. Skill → BA → Res. Skill → BA → Heavy Attack → Ultimate (if available) → Heavy Attack → Switch Out
If your Resonance Liberation is fully charged at the start of Changli's turn, use it immediately then do your usual full stack combo. Casting Changli's Ultimate then using Flaming Sacrifice increases Changli's ATK by 25%, so your subsequent attacks will have increased DMG.
This is very situational though, and is usually viable in Tower of Adversity where your characters' Resonance Liberations are all fully charged at the start.
