Who is Buling?

Buling is a Taoist from Mengzhou, a Black Shores consultant, a feng shui master and a longtime forum regular; she is a laid-back, well-traveled Resonator whose prophecies are surprisingly accurate. She is a 4★ Electro support who wields a Rectifier. She collects Mountain and Thunder trigrams with her Basic Attacks and turns them into damage or healing through different Heavy Attacks; once she has both Minor Yin and Minor Yang, her Resonance Liberation sets up the Five Thunders Spell Array. Her Outro Skill heals the team, amplifies all damage by 15% and hands out a Resonance Skill bonus, so she stands out as a 4★ alternative to Shorekeeper and Verina.

How to get Buling

Buling is a 4★ Resonator who joined the game in the second half of version 2.8 (December 11, 2025). As a 4★, she can be pulled from every standard and limited Convene banner; her rate goes up when she is one of the featured 4★ characters on a limited banner. She has not been given out for free or as an event reward, so you need to pull her again to complete her Sequences.

2-piece: Healing Bonus + 10%.

5-piece: Increases the ATK of all party members by 15% for 30s upon healing allies.

Every time Buling heals the team, the whole team's ATK increases by 15% for 30 s; the most efficient set for a support who heals constantly.

2-piece: Energy Regen + {0}.

5-piece: Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.

If you are short on energy, it is the second-best option, with 10% Energy Regen from the 2-piece and an effect that gives the next character 22.5% ATK after the Outro.

After its Echo Skill, Buling gains 10% Energy Regen and the whole team gains 10% ATK for 20 s; it can be used with the Rejuvenating Glow set.

Her Liberation costs 150 energy, so raising Energy Regen to 150% is the foundation of her rotation. After that, push her ATK above 1800, since her healing scales with ATK. A 4-3-3-1-1 layout is recommended.

Best weapons for Buling

  1. 1 Stellar Symphony
    Stellar Symphony 5★

    Shorekeeper's signature weapon. It gives 77% Energy Regen at Lv 90 and refunds 8 Concerto Energy on Liberation. Its team ATK passive needs a healing Resonance Skill, so it does not work on Buling, but it solves her energy needs on its own.

  2. 2 Variation
    Variation 4★

    The best 4★ option. With its 51.8% Energy Regen main stat and 8 Concerto Energy refunded on Resonance Skill, you hand off her Outro more often.

Buling skills

Normal Attack

Hexagram Calls, Lightning Falls

Performs a four-hit Electro combo. The 2nd hit grants a Mountain trigram, while the 4th hit and Mid-air Attack grant a Thunder trigram (up to 4; when a new one arrives, the old ones shift left). Holding Basic Attack triggers a Heavy Attack based on the two leftmost trigrams. Mountain Over Thunder deals damage, Thunder Over Mountain reduces Vibration Strength, Twin Mountains heals the team instantly and Twin Thunders heals the team over 8 s. If you hold it with fewer than two trigrams, Ghost Gate Omen makes you lose your trigrams and 20% of your HP.

Resonance Skill

In Shadow Thunder Stirs

Attacks the target to deal Electro DMG and keeps pulling nearby enemies toward her; using it grants a Thunder trigram. Press Basic Attack right after it to jump straight to the 4th hit and get a second Thunder.

Forte Circuit

Thunder Begets Life

Mountain Over Thunder or Thunder Over Mountain grants Minor Yang, and Twin Mountains or Twin Thunders grants Minor Yin. Once she has both, Buling enters Yin-Yang Balance and her Liberation turns into Harmony. Harmony sets up the Five Thunders Spell Array, which deals damage every 2 s for 24 s and applies 2 stacks of Electro Flare. While it is active, each Intro Skill from the team raises the Resonance Skill DMG Bonus first to 10%, then to 25%.

Resonance Liberation

Flashing Thunder Spell

Brings down a single Electro strike on the target. This is the basic version used outside Yin-Yang Balance, so the Harmony version is almost always preferred in the rotation.

Intro Skill

Summon and Smite

Deals Electro DMG to the target as she enters the field and heals the whole team nearby. Thanks to the Earthly Immortal is Here! passive, it also applies 4 stacks of Electro Flare to the targets it hits (once every 10 s).

Outro Skill

Exorcism Spell

Heals the on-field character every second for 16 s by 18% of Buling's ATK and amplifies the damage of the whole team nearby by 15% for 30 s. This is Buling's most important buff for the team.

Inherent Skill

Time Arrives, Evil Declines

Buling gains 25% Healing Bonus when healing Resonators below 50% HP. Her healing becomes noticeably stronger in dangerous moments.

Inherent Skill

Earthly Immortal is Here!

Targets hit by her Intro Skill Summon and Smite receive 4 stacks of Electro Flare; this effect triggers once every 10 s. It is an important part of Buling's Electro Flare application.

Tune Break

Tune Break: Rectifier

When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Buling can perform the Rectifier-specific Tune Break attack. It is a shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.

Buling sequences (Resonance Chain)

S2 solves her energy problems and has her Liberation ready every rotation. S5 increases her Electro Flare application, while S6 raises the Resonance Skill bonus to 50% and makes Buling a much stronger support.

  1. S1

    Exorcist Gadgets, Lend Me Your Power

    When the Liberation Flashing Thunder Spell: Harmony deals damage, her Crit. Rate increases by 20%.

  2. S2

    Talisman Burns, Spirits Turn

    She gains 25 Resonance Energy when entering Yin-Yang Balance (once every 24 s); it makes it easier to have her 150-energy Liberation ready every rotation.

  3. S3

    Summoner of Spirits, Seeker of Fate

    While the Five Thunders Spell Array is active, a teammate whose HP falls below 50% is instantly healed for 150% of Buling's ATK + 350 (once every 24 s).

  4. S4

    Wanderer of Solaris, Blessed by Fortune

    Buling gains 20% Healing Bonus.

  5. S5

    Forum Ban? New Account!

    The moment the Five Thunders Spell Array is set up, it additionally applies 6 stacks of Electro Flare to all targets in the area.

  6. S6

    "Almighty Forum Lord of Thunder Spell"

    The Heaven, Earth, Mind state gives the on-field Resonator a 50% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus instead of 25%, doubling Buling's buff.

Buling team comps

Carlotta Glacio team

Most of Carlotta's damage counts as Resonance Skill damage. Zhezhi's Outro and Buling's Five Thunders bonuses boost that damage together, while Buling keeps the team alive.

Jinhsi Resonance Skill team

Zhezhi's and Buling's Resonance Skill buffs carry over to Jinhsi's big hits; Buling's Outro also adds a 15% damage increase for the whole team.

Havoc team

Most of Phrolova's damage is Resonance Skill damage. Cantarella's Outro and Buling's Resonance Skill bonus work together, and Buling takes Shorekeeper's place here.

Buling tips

  • For a quick loop, use four Basic Attacks and a Heavy Attack to perform Mountain Over Thunder and get Minor Yang. Then collect two Thunders with her Resonance Skill followed immediately by a Basic Attack, and get Minor Yin with Twin Thunders.
  • Use her Liberation while she holds both Minor Yin and Minor Yang. Harmony sets up the Five Thunders Spell Array for 24 s and hands out a Resonance Skill bonus to the team.
  • While the Array is active, bring teammates onto the field with their Intro Skills; after two Intros, the bonus rises to 25% (50% for the on-field character at S6).
  • Do not hold Basic Attack with fewer than two trigrams. Ghost Gate Omen leaves you briefly immobile and makes you lose all your trigrams and 20% of your HP.
  • Do not stack ATK before raising Energy Regen to 150%; her Liberation costs 150 energy and the Five Thunders Spell Array is Buling's real value.

Common questions

How do I get Buling?

As a 4★, Buling can be pulled from every Convene banner; she first arrived in the second half of version 2.8. She has not been given out for free or as an event reward.

What is the best Echo set for Buling?

5-piece Rejuvenating Glow is the best; every time she heals the team, the whole team's ATK increases by 15%. Use Fallacy of No Return as the main Echo, since it gives both Energy Regen and 10% ATK to the team.

What is Buling's best weapon?

She has no signature weapon. Stellar Symphony, which gives the highest Energy Regen, is the best option. On the 4★ side, Variation does almost the same job, and Cosmic Ripples, Call of the Abyss and Rectifier#25 can also be used.

How do I activate Buling's Five Thunders Spell Array?

Once your Heavy Attacks have earned both Minor Yang (Mountain Over Thunder or Thunder Over Mountain) and Minor Yin (Twin Mountains or Twin Thunders), you enter Yin-Yang Balance. In this state, her Liberation turns into Harmony, which sets up the Five Thunders Spell Array for 24 s.

Is Buling good?

Yes, especially for a 4★. She heals the team, amplifies all damage by 15% and gives Resonance Skill teams an extra bonus, so if you do not have Shorekeeper or Verina, she is a good alternative next to DPS characters such as Carlotta, Jinhsi and Phrolova.

What materials does Buling use?

For Ascension, she needs Blighted Crown of Puppet King, which drops from The False Sovereign, Pecok Flower and Whisperin Cores. For skills, she uses the Helix series (Lento to Presto), Whisperin Cores and the weekly material Curse of the Abyss, which drops from Threnodian Leviathan.
