Banyue builds, guides, and information

Banyue gains extra Sheer Force based on his Max HP, with every 1 point of Max HP increasing his Sheer Force by 0.1. All Fire DMG Banyue deals is Sheer DMG, ignoring enemy DEF and using his Sheer Force stat as the DMG Multiplier. When Banyue enters the battlefield, he immediately recovers 60 Adrenaline. In Investigation Zone Mode, this effect can trigger once every 180s. Banyue can recover Wrathful Fires through the following methods: Recover 0.5 Wrathful Fires for every point of Adrenaline consumed; Recover 4 Wrathful Fires upon activating Defensive Assist; Recover 4 Wrathful Fires when parrying an enemy with Dodge: Immovable Mountain, and recover 6 Wrathful Fires instead upon triggering a Perfect Block, up to once every 1s; Recover 4 Wrathful Fires upon triggering a Perfect Dodge, up to once every 1s. Banyue can have up to 150 Wrathful Fires. When he possesses at least 120 Wrathful Fires, Banyue can enter the Visage of Wrath state by using Basic Attack: Immolate. While in Visage of Wrath state, Banyue can no longer gain Wrathful Fires. After Banyue uses Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, he exits the Visage of Wrath state. When entering the Visage of Wrath state, Banyue gains 4 Mountain's Might. If Banyue has Mountain's Might, launching an EX Special Attack no longer consumes Adrenaline, instead consuming 1 Mountain's Might and restoring 10 Adrenaline. Upon exiting the Visage of Wrath state, remove all Mountain's Might. When possessing Mountain's Might in Visage of Wrath state, hold to launch four different EX Special Attacks and Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain in a fixed sequence. When Banyue uses an EX Special Attack or Assist Follow-Up, he increases his Sheer Force by 300, Fire DMG by 36%, and CRIT DMG by 36% for 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

When another character in your squad is a Support or Stun character: While in the Visage of Wrath state, when Banyue consumes Mountain's Might to unleash an EX Special Attack through a Basic Attack branch or quick input commands, he gains one stack of Vidyaraja. Each stack of Vidyaraja increases his Fire DMG by 5%, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 8s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.

When Banyue hits an enemy with EX Special Attack: One's Path or EX Special Attack: Earth Shaker, he inflicts the Tremor state. In this state, enemies' Fire RES is reduced by 10%, lasting 30s. When EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar, EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar - Wrath, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor - Wrath, Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, and Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hits an enemy in the Tremor state, the Sheer DMG dealt is increased by 10%. When Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks hits a Stunned enemy, the current Stun duration is extended by 2s. This effect can only trigger once per Stun and does not stack with similar effects. Did Banyue Shifu ever have any desires of his own? He runs a martial arts school in Failume Heights, apparently only because a certain grandmaster once suggested he open one. The school doesn't even have a name, he isn't looking for fame for fortune, and he's never once told his students to shout slogans about passing down his art. Only Banyue Shifu himself knows that the obsession called repentance burns that iron heart, day and night. A single mistake could send him spiralling. "Greed is like fire. When kept in check, it lights the way forward, but left unchecked, it burns you instead."

The CRIT DMG bonus from the Core Passive is increased by an additional 15%, and the Fire DMG bonus is increased by an additional 15%. While in the Visage of Wrath state, Banyue restores an additional 5 Adrenaline when consuming Mountain's Might to unleash an EX Special Attack. The students at the martial arts school had never seen Banyue Shifu lose his temper, let alone fly into a rage. Even with the dullest or most reckless students, he seemed endlessly patient. After all, how could a mountain ever grow angry? Its deep, immovable calm makes people almost forget the fury it can hold. But when it stirs with the wrath of the heavens, even the fiercest of beasts will tremble in fear. "Anger is like a blade — keep it sheathed in daily life, lest it wound those around you."

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Banyue Shifu was not just a warrior, but a wise man — or so said both his students and the neighbors who knew him. After all, he always looked so composed and thoughtful. Though he spoke little, every word that left his mouth sounded like a proverb worth pondering. Martial arts, he often said, are not only a way to train the body but also the heart. And as he would always add, he himself was still just a student. "I, Banyue, have been slow and foolish, once straying from the right path. But to clear the way for you on this journey... these fists are still yours to command."

EX Special Attack: Lion's Roar - Wrath, EX Special Attack: Mountain Tremor - Wrath, Basic Attack: Toppling Mountain, and Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks DMG increase by 30%. Fate may be ordained by the heavens or shaped by human hands. Yet for some, destiny and guilt were never granted the mercy of free will. Before ever having a name, the combat construct known as "Type Zero" was, in the truest sense, nothing more than a killing machine. And when did a "heart" form? Was it the day she erased the chains of his code, or the moment he found the courage to carry it all and keep moving forward? "Repentance is too easy. Rather than fleeing from past sins, shoulder the mountain of your past... and throw a punch."

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Did you hear? There's a martial arts school up in the mountain taught by some big construct. The students there are no joke; they can even hold their own against Ethereals. Their iron-bodied Shifu often heads into the Hollows to help with rescues, too. Must be quite the martial arts master, huh? "I'm still just a clumsy student myself... Though you all call me 'Shifu,' it's you who have taught me what it means to be a person."

At any time, when Banyue uses an EX Special Attack, he also gains Vidyaraja. The Fire DMG bonus from Vidyaraja is increased by an additional 8%, and its duration is extended to 30s. When activating Basic Attack: Crushing Peaks, Banyue deals Fire DMG equal to 600% of his Sheer Force to nearby enemies. Using Dodge: Battle Cry immediately after an EX Special Attack also grants Vidyaraja. "Dying's the easy way out, isn't it, big guy? You've still got a long path of redemption ahead of you!" "This... is my final verdict!" Her frame was delicate, yet her words landed with a weight that seemed to cut through a mountain of burden and doubt. "I still question whether I have the wisdom and courage to judge... but that's no excuse to stop moving forward."
