Suoming is the Phase 2 5-star of Version 3.7, Prism's Illusion, Heart's Illumination. She is an Electro Sword Resonator from Huating, Mengzhou: founder of the Ten Seals Covenant and Intendant of the Ministry of Sentinel Affairs. In combat she hides a blade in an oil-paper umbrella, cycles three Mind states, and uses Unison either to buff the next Resonator or to power her own on-field window.
Version 3.7 goes live September 30, 2026. Hsin headlines Phase 1. Suoming arrives in Phase 2 (currently October 22 to November 11, 2026) with Lynae and Lucilla reruns and her signature sword Unspoken Rue.

How the kit works
Almost all of Suoming's personal damage is tagged as Basic Attack DMG, including Forte attacks and several Intro variants. Three systems run the kit: Delusion (Forte gauge, cap 800), Mind states, and Unison. You cannot fully support and hypercarry in the same Unison window.
Mind states
| State | How you enter | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Awakened Mind | Default. Returns here after Engraved Heart ends. | 3-hit Furled Canopy string. Closed-umbrella skills. |
| Deep Mind | Intro from Awakened Mind, or Sealed Delusion at 800 Delusion. | 4-hit Unfurled Canopy string, Whirling Thunder, Resonance Liberation, Skill cooldown reset. |
| Calamity Mind | Cast Basic Attack - Umbral Canopy: Engraved Heart. | Locked finisher. Interruption immune, but she cannot move, dodge, or swap. Clears Delusion and returns to Awakened Mind when it ends. |
Deep Mind is the real kit. Liberation and the long Basic string only exist there.
Delusion
Filling the bar does nothing by itself. At 800, Resonance Skill is replaced by a stronger version, and that cast spends the whole bar.
Gains: hits from Basic Attack, Unfurled Canopy, or Whirling Thunder while on field; Resonance Liberation +200; certain Deep Mind / Unison Intros +200.
Wipes: Intro from Awakened Mind; Sealed Delusion; spending Unison through Rift Cleaver. Do not intro from Awakened Mind if you were banking a full bar for Unforsaken Mind.
Unison
Resonance Liberation Umbral Canopy: Miasma Lock is only usable in Deep Mind. It deals AoE Electro damage, grants +200 Delusion, and gives Unison for 5 seconds, once every 25 seconds.
- Support route (Aligned Seals). Swap out while holding Unison. Outro Canopy Rumble gives the incoming Resonator 20% Electro DMG Amplification, plus 25% Resonance Skill DMG Amplification if they hold Unison Boon. Aligned Seals adds 30% Electro DMG Bonus, plus 20% per Unison Boon stack, up to 40%. If Unison is still up on Outro, Blight Rain, Miasmic Thunder summons Thunder Crest coordinated attacks (one per second after the active Resonator deals damage, up to 6, lasting 8 seconds).
- DPS route (Seal Master). Stay on field. Cast Furled Canopy: Rift Cleaver while holding Unison. This removes Unison, spends 20 Concerto Energy, clears Delusion, and grants Seal Master for 12 seconds: +40% multipliers on Unfurled Canopy and Whirling Thunder, +80% Crit DMG, and a loop from Unfurled Canopy stage 4 back into stage 2.
Aligned Seals and Seal Master block each other. Unison Boon is the extra glue with Hsin: swapping into Suoming while a teammate holds Unison grants 1 stack (3% DMG for units that can trigger Unison Response, up to 2 stacks, 30s). Inherent Rain-Soaked Covenant gives Suoming 50% Electro DMG Bonus for 15s after any Intro variant. That buff is personal and ends if you swap her out.
Combat loop
- Intro into Deep Mind when possible.
- Basic string. After Unfurled Canopy stage 2, hold Normal Attack for Whirling Thunder.
- Use Rift Cleaver as a parry when a hit is coming. A successful parry stagnates nearby targets and follows with Unfurled Canopy: Crimson Gleam. Entering Deep Mind also resets Skill cooldown.
- Bank 800 Delusion. In Deep Mind, cast Unfurled Canopy: Unforsaken Mind.
- Convert that into Umbral Canopy: Engraved Heart if you want the Calamity Mind finisher.
- Cast Liberation for Unison, then either swap for Aligned Seals plus Thunder Crest, or eat Unison with Rift Cleaver and dump Seal Master Basics.
Skill priority
Forte Circuit > Basic Attack > Resonance Skill > Resonance Liberation > Intro Skill.
Forte Circuit is the state machine. Basic Attack is her damage tag. Skill is the parry and the Seal Master spender. Liberation is the Unison tap. Unlock both Inherent Skills early. Sunken Seal, Forged Lock is the node that creates Seal Master and Aligned Seals.
Weapons
- Unspoken Rue (signature 5-star Sword). Level 90: 588 ATK, 24.3% Crit Rate. ATK +12%. On gaining Unison: 30% Electro DMG Bonus for 30s, plus Binding Mind (team 24% Electro DMG Bonus for 30s). When she consumes Concerto Energy: Yearning Mind replaces Binding Mind and gives her 40% Electro DMG Bonus for 14s, ending early on swap. Best for both routes.
- Red Spring (5-star Sword). Same 588 / 24.3% Crit Rate frame. Basic Attack stacking passive lines up with Unfurled Canopy and Seal Master. Best premium substitute.
- Emerald of Genesis (5-star Sword). Same Crit Rate frame, plus Energy Regen and an ATK stack after Skill. Use if Liberation uptime feels late.
- Lumingloss (4-star Sword). 388 ATK, 36.5% ATK. Raises Basic Attack DMG after Resonance Skill. Fine starter. The base ATK gap is real.
Crit Rate swords first, then Basic Attack or ATK passives. Energy Regen is comfort, not the first reason to pick a weapon.
Echoes
Best set: 5-piece Heart of Sworn Vigil (new in 3.7). 2-piece: Electro DMG Bonus. 5-piece: gaining Unison or triggering Unison Response (some writeups also list Electro Flare) grants Crit Rate and Electro DMG for 30s. Reported numbers are 15% Crit Rate and 22.5% Electro DMG. Confirm the live tooltip.
Layout: 4-3-3-1-1. 4-cost Crit DMG if you have a Crit Rate sword, otherwise Crit Rate. Both 3-costs Electro DMG Bonus. Both 1-costs ATK%. Substats: Crit Rate = Crit DMG > ATK% > Basic Attack DMG Bonus > Energy Regen > Flat ATK.
With a 24.3% Crit Rate sword plus her ascension bonuses (guides list 8% Crit Rate and 12% ATK), a Crit DMG 4-cost is comfortable. Build enough Energy Regen that Liberation is ready every Deep Mind cycle. Void Thunder is a temporary leftover set. Do not farm Flash of Electric Reflection first. Several writeups say it wants Electro Flare, which she may not apply reliably.
Teams
Best: Hsin + Suoming + Shorekeeper. Hsin is the Electro Rectifier main DPS. Suoming feeds Electro amplification, Resonance Skill amplification, Unison Boon, and Thunder Crest. Shorekeeper covers healing and Crit.
Support-route rotation: Shorekeeper setup, intro Suoming into Deep Mind, build Delusion then Liberation for Unison, swap to Hsin while Unison is up, play Hsin's window under Canopy Rumble / Aligned Seals / Thunder Crest, swap back into Suoming when Hsin has Unison to trigger Unison Response, repeat.
On-field: Suoming + Sanhua + Shorekeeper. Sanhua is the cheap Basic Attack amplifier. Do not hand Unison away. Liberation into Rift Cleaver into Seal Master, then Unfurled Canopy, Whirling Thunder, and Engraved Heart.
If Shorekeeper is busy, any short-field healer or battery works. The third slot keeps them alive and gets Concerto back on time.
Resonance Chain
S0 already has a full rotation.
| Node | What it does | Pull value |
|---|---|---|
| S1 Into the Blight Rain | Liberation / Unforsaken Mind interruption immunity. Intro multipliers +60%. | Comfort. |
| S2 Breaking Thunder, Slaying Evil | Personal Crit DMG +40%. Outro gives the incoming Resonator 10% Crit DMG, plus 6% per Unison Boon stack, up to 24%, for 30s. | Best early stop. Helps both routes. |
| S3 Lone Canopy, Solitary Road | Certain Intros grant Unison Boon (25s CD). Liberation gives 30% Basic Attack DMG Amplification for 25s. | On-field breakpoint. |
| S4 Covenant Borne Upon the Heart | ATK +20%. | Raw stat. |
| S5 Seal Deep, Never Forgotten | Liberation multiplier +40%. | Lower priority. Liberation is not her largest slice. |
| S6 Nine Shadows at Her Side | Unison Boon effect +50% and cap raised to 4 stacks. Engraved Heart multiplier +50%. Seal Master Crit DMG +80% more. | Whale node. |
Stop at S0 or S1 if you also want Unspoken Rue. Stop at S2 if you are investing in the Hsin core. S3 if she is your on-fielder.
Should you pull?
Pull if you are building Hsin, you like dual-role state-machine units, or you want a new Electro Sword who scales on Basic Attack and has a real parry. Skip if you only want a brain-off support, your Astrite is already spoken for on the weapon plus another limited, or you expected a healer.
S0 plus a decent Crit Rate sword is enough. The expensive part is the pair: Hsin, Suoming, and ideally one signature between them.
Live checklist for October 22
- Read the live Heart of Sworn Vigil tooltip.
- Time one Deep Mind cycle and note how much Energy Regen Liberation needs.
- Decide support route or Seal Master route before you lock Echoes.
