Chong Yue
Chong Yue is a 6* Limited Brawler Guard operator that specializes in dealing massive damage to large groups of enemies using his enhanced normal attacks by utilizing his special auto activation skills.
Chong Yue’s main power lies in his talent and his 3rd skill which greatly enhances his damage output by enhancing his normal attacks and expanding his damage range. Chong Yue’s talent allows him to have a 30% chance to enhance his normal attack by 65% of its damage to a single enemy. This talent, coupled with his 3rd skill which allows him to gain 300% attack stat up, allowing his normal attacks to hit 3 times in a row and expand his normal attack range, allow Chong Yue to become an absolute damage machine when his 3rd skill’s auto activation requirements are met.
Chong Yue, coupled with the fact that his 2nd talent allows him to recover SP when eliminating enemies and his limited status, allow him to become one of the most powerful and sought after operators in the game that players must have.
Lin
Lin is a 6* Phalanx Caster who specializes in neutralizing low damage from enemies and dealing moderate amounts of Arts AOE damage in a diamond shape around herself, allowing her to quickly dispatch large groups of small enemies within her range in a short period of time.
Lin’s strong point lies in her ability as a Phalanx Caster who have high defense and resistance, allowing her to tank enemies’ attacks with ease.

Lin’s offensive capabilities are quite limited due to her bulkiness and low attack stat, however, her unique range and the ability to deal Arts damage to all enemies within range make her a very interesting and useful operator to have against large groups of enemies.
Should You Pull
Absolutely Yes. This is one of the few limited banners in the game that features both useful and powerful 6* operators in the same banner, so rolling in this banner is highly recommended.
