Yinlin is a character with both support and DPS capabilities in Wuthering Waves. Her biggest worth comes from her off-field coordinated 'Punishment Mark' damage, as well as her decent capacity to generate Concerto Energy and a unique Outro Skill bonus.
Yinlin's Outro Skill offers a 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Deepen and a 20% Electro DMG Deepen, making it the first Outro Skill with dual-type benefits. This means that Yinlin can serve characters who specialize in Resonance Liberation or Electro DMG. While the buffs are smaller compared to single-type Outro Skill boosts, they are more widely applicable.
Unfortunately, only electro-based teams can truly maximize the potential of Yinlin’s Outro Skill, which can be both a plus and a minus.
Her Forte Circuit's 'Punishment Mark' damage type, which is Resonance Skill damage, accounts for around half of Yinlin's overall damage. If you manage to utilize her mark, you'll be dishing out tons of damage on and off the field.
Now let's look at the best way to build Yinlin in Wuthering Waves.

Summary
At almost all times, Yinlin deals damage from a safe range, whether it be on-field, a fair distance away from opponents, or off-field entirely. This can be a great Resonator for players who prefer controlling their enemies and dictating the flow of battle.
Yinlin is not overly dependent on using her ultimate, but it is still recommended to have some amount of Energy Regen through sub-stats to mark hordes of enemies more quickly and easily.
Overall, if you pull Yinlin in Wuthering Waves, you will be pleased, especially if you manage to get Calcharo, as he is the best on-field Electro DPS as of patch 1.0. Yinlin's kit is well-suited to a variety of roles, and as an off-field DPS, she typically has more staying power than on-field DPS units.
