Regarding the combination of external techniques, Zhang Lingyu has unique considerations. Among them, the Zero Point Zero One technique is a godly skill for Zhang Lingyu in combat, playing a significant role in actual battles. It helps Zhang Lingyu cleverly sweep up fallen enemies, allowing him to seamlessly follow up with normal attacks and continue fluid combos. Therefore, in the battle process, the Zero Point Zero One technique is almost a must-have. Another indispensable external technique is the Eight Gates Transport, which seems to help him quickly close the distance with the enemy, enabling him to rapidly approach and set up favorable conditions for subsequent attacks.

When it comes to Zhang Lingyu's starting moves and combo strategies, they are relatively simple and clear overall, but require players to continuously explore and understand through practice. At the beginning of the battle, it's a good choice to use the Qi Transformation skill first. Players can flexibly choose to start horizontally or diagonally based on the battlefield situation, catching the enemy off guard. Once the target is successfully pulled back, if the enemy attempts to escape using an evasion skill, the player should prioritize knocking the enemy down with normal attacks, preventing them from easily escaping. Then, skillfully use the Golden Light Protection skill to sweep the enemy into the air again, putting them in an even more passive position.
If the enemy does not evade, the player can directly use the Yin Five Thunder Palm Heart Lightning to instantly deal high damage. Of course, the strategy in battle is not set in stone; Zhang Lingyu's combo methods can be flexibly adjusted according to specific situations. For example, one could start with the Yin Five Thunder Palm Heart Lightning, hit the enemy, and then quickly interweave normal attacks. Taking advantage of the enemy's dazed state, follow up with the Qi Transformation skill. Through this tightly connected attack method, further expand the damage advantage.

Under normal circumstances, if Zhang Lingyu starts with a normal attack and luckily hits the enemy, he can smoothly follow up with a defensive reset normal attack after completing a set of normal attacks. Then, he can continue with three more hits followed by the Earthworm Lightning, and proceed to the next set of normal attacks. This cycle continues, constantly assaulting the enemy. When the opponent falls under such fierce attacks, Zhang Lingyu can use his ultimate move to sweep up the opponent, delivering the final blow, and conclude with the Yin Five Thunder.

If starting by capturing the opponent, after releasing the capture move, quickly follow up with normal attacks and continue with the aforementioned process to launch a series of sharp attacks. However, the actual combat situation is complex and ever-changing, and the opportunity to fully execute a long combo is quite rare. Therefore, smart players usually break down the long combos into shorter ones for flexible use. During the combo, as long as you pay attention to the clever combination of normal attacks and skills, you can make the opponent unable to defend against your attacks when the timing is just right.
Additionally, there is a small yet very practical trick in Zhang Lingyu's skills that is often overlooked: holding down the Earthworm Lightning to charge it. In emergencies, this skill can transform into a blocking skill. It's important to emphasize that while combos are crucial, they are merely a basic framework. In the actual game, players need to adapt flexibly based on real-time battle conditions.

Now you know how to play Zhang Lingyu in "The Outlier." If you already understand how to use Zhang Lingyu in combat, it's recommended to get him as soon as possible. This highly popular character feels great to use and is well worth the time and effort to practice.
