Stringmaster is a 5-star limited Rectifier and Yinlin’s signature weapon. Naturally, it is her best option in the game. It has a Crit Rate second stat bonus, making it easier to build her. Furthermore, the weapon’s passive provides a lot of DMG and ATK% bonuses, which is good for her overall damage output, both on-field and off-field.

Cosmic Ripples is a good 5-star alternative for Yinlin. It provides a ton of ATK% and increases Energy regeneration by a decent amount. However, you must focus more on Crit Rate stats on your Echoes.

Augment is the best 4-star weapon for Yinlin. It provides a Crit Rate bonus from its secondary stat and a lot of ATK from its passive. However, it is a Battle Pass weapon so it might not be accessible to everyone.

Jinzhou Keeper is a decent 4-star Rectifier for Yinlin. It provides a lot of ATK% bonuses from its secondary stat and passive. However, you will want to focus on Crit stats on your Echoes. The passive also has an HP bonus but it is not that useful.

5) Variation

Variation is a good 4-star Rectifier for Yinlin. The weapon has an Energy Regen bonus second stat and its passive also restores eight Concerto Energy after the character uses their Resonance Skill, making it a good option for a support build. However, she will lose her overall DPS potential.
