Here’s a complete Su Yi build guide for Duet Night Abyss (DNA), based on the latest Version 1.3 data (Huaxu update). Su Yi is a Lumino DPS focused on Skill DMG, with high mobility via flight (Sunward state) and a powerful Starfall Mode ultimate that consumes Sanity for massive AoE Lumino damage, lasers, and sword attacks. She excels as an on-field carry with strong crowd control and burst potential.
Key Stats to Prioritize: Skill Intensity (main), Morale, ATK%, Crit Rate/DMG, and Sanity-related buffs for sustained Starfall uptime.
Su Yi Kit Overview (Quick)
- Sunward (Primary Skill): Enters high-speed flight, dealing continuous Lumino DMG along the path. Tap jump for Heavenbound vertical thrust.
- Starfall Mode (Ultimate): Consumes all sanity via the Feni Type 3 system → massive damage, sword stacks, and homing projectiles (especially with her signature wedge).
- Passives: Poised to Strike (Sanity recovery + DMG amp per artificial powder consumed) and Guarded Assault (Ultra Shield on Starfall entry).
- Playstyle: Fly around to apply damage, build sanity/resources, then pop Starfall for big bursts. Strong AoE clearer.
Skill Priority: Starfall Mode (★★★★★) > Poised to Strike (★★★★☆) > Sunward (★★☆☆☆) ☆☆). Upgrade Starfall first for core damage.
Best Demon Wedges (Core Setup for DPS)
Demon Wedges are equipped in slots (often 1-5 + Core) and provide massive buffs. Prioritize Skill Intensity, Morale, and Range/Intensity for her kit.
Recommended DPS Loadout (from community consensus and guides):
- Slot 1: Lumino Siren’s Wings • Inspo • Morale (Gold) – Team-wide Morale/DMG buffs.
- Slot 2: Prime • Morale (Purple) – Direct Morale stacking.
- Slot 3 / Core: Feathered Serpent’s Morale or Skylume • Wildfire (Gold)—Boosts Skill Intensity and Wildfire effects.
- Slot 4: Fengshi Type III: Tracking Mode (her signature/ascension wedge) – Makes Starfall ranged attacks fire homing projectiles + 55% Skill Intensity.
- Other Slots: Fill with Scorch (for Lumino synergy) or additional intensity/morale wedges.
Core Tip: Match wedges to Lumino/Scorch elements where possible. Her unique Feng Shi Type III is a big power spike—farm/ascend her to unlock it. Prepare gold wedges early (e.g., Wildfire, Morale lines) as they give huge intensity and range buffs.
Alternative/Support-Focused Wedges (if using her in sub-DPS role): Swap some to Serenity/Uplift for team sanity recovery or general DMG%.
Best Weapons
- Signature/BiS Ranged: Fledgling’s Gleam or her shotgun variant (strong for Starfall homing shots).
- Best Melee: Wanewraith (great for polearm/sword combos in Starfall).
- F2P/Alternatives: Soul Rend, Ravaging Thunder, or any high-skill-intensity/crit weapon. Shotgun for ranged play; polearm for melee hybrid.
Prioritize weapons with Skill DMG, Crit, and Trigger Probability. Some players note her signature performs better in certain rotations than pure melee options.
Best Introns (Dupes/Constellations)
Introns are unlocked via duplicate “Thoughts” (dupes) and provide major power spikes. Focus on early ones for sanity management and DMG.
Key Recommended Introns:
- Intron 2 (or early levels): Significant attack boost tied to skills/HP (up to 300% in some descriptions) – huge for team and personal DMG.
- Intron 6: Often the biggest spike (common priority for DPS). Improves Starfall uptime, Sanity recovery, or multipliers.
- General Priority: Invest in Introns that boost skill intensity, sanity recovery, or Starfall DMG. Max Intron assumes high investment for tier lists.
Lower intron levels are still functional, but I6 is a major breakpoint for endgame content like theater/act clears.
Best Teams
Su Yi shines in Lumino-focused or general DPS teams. She benefits heavily from supports that provide sanity recovery, shields, weapon DMG, and skill intensity buffs.
Core Recommended Team (General/Lumino DPS):
- Su Yi (Main DPS / Active Unit) – On-field carry.
- Fina (Support) – Weapon DMG buffs, PEN, and straight damage amplification. Excellent synergy.
- Fushu (Support)—Skill Intensity buffs, party-wide heals, Ultra Shields, and Sanity recovery (perfect for sustaining Starfall).
Geniemon (Companion): Luminelf (BiS for Lumino synergy). Alternatives: Ballbee or Lumi.
Why this works: Fushu keeps sanity full for frequent ults; Fina amps overall output. This setup excels in AoE clears, bosses, and theater modes.
Other Viable Teams:
- Lumino Hypercarry variations with additional buffers.
- Hybrid with other elements if needed for specific content (but Lumino is her strength).
- Early game: Pair with accessible supports like Truffle/Filbert for healing/sanity if Fushu/Fina aren’t built yet.
Rotation Example (Speculative): Use Sunward for mobility/DMG → Build resources/Sanity → Pop Starfall for burst. → Repeat with support buffs active. Use Fushu’s heals to maintain uptime.
Additional Tips
- Combat AI: Set for aggressive skill/starfall usage if available.
- Farming Priority: Pre-farm Morale/Intensity wedges, Lumino materials, and her ascension wedge. Gold wedges are resource-heavy but worth it.
- Performance Note: Some players call her strong for AoE and mobility; others note she’s not the absolute top meta DPS but very fun and viable with proper investment. She fits well in Version 1.3 Huaxu content.
Su Yi is a flashy, high-mobility Lumino carry—great if you like flight mechanics and big skill bursts. Builds can vary slightly by content (theater vs. bosses), so test in-game.
