Puzzle Sphere
AThe 2nd best option following closely behind Radiowave Journey, providing a Crit DMG Boost for 12s upon using EX Special, and on top of that, if the enemy is at or below 50% HP they will recieve more DMG from said EX Special, a respectable choice, even better than Radiowave Journery when Puzzle Sphere is at S5.

to launch EX Special Attack: Celestial Cloud Blitz - Break.After
EX Special Attack: Celestial Cloud Blitz - Break, and with enough Adrenaline, press to consume another 20 Adrenaline to launch EX Special Attack: Qingming Eruption - Break.Initial attack best used to parry incoming attacks to regenerate Adrenaline for Yixuan and deal more damage, follow up attacks should be used to stack up Technique Points

Extra Notes on Team Building
Nicole and Rina are not good teammates for Yixuan as Sheer Damage ignores all DEF making their buffs useless. All ATK buffers are good for Yixuan despite her scaling off of HP as Rupture Passive converts 30% of your ATK into Sheer Force. For example Lucy's 600 ATK will convert to 180 Sheer Force. Nicole “could” be used for her Ether DMG%, CR% and W-Engine buff if you really lack options but this is not worth it or recommended at all. Since this isn't a good use of Nicole and another team would want her more.
