Should you pull Yunli?

Yunli is a top-tier counter DPS that's easy to build and thrives against single bosses. Roll if you love a punchy, low-maintenance carry that hits back; skip if you're stacked on FUA DPS or mainly play Pure Fiction.

Pros
  • Massive counter and Ultimate damage
  • Easy to build, no SPD tuning needed
  • Best-in-slot for single-target bosses (Apocalyptic Shadow)
  • Ult has light blast AoE for flexibility
Cons
  • Weak at clearing many small waves (Pure Fiction)
  • Relies on being attacked; passive enemies hurt her
  • Wants energy support for consistency
  • Damage is heavily Ultimate-front-loaded

How to play

Use Skill each turn to bait enemies into attacking you, triggering free counters. Pop her Ultimate at 100% energy to arm the Enhanced Counter (Cull) for big blast damage; if nothing has hit you yet, ult and wait one incoming hit to unleash it.

Best teams for Yunli

Team 1 (hypercarry): Huohuo/Robin/Tingyun feed energy and ATK/CRIT buffs so Yunli ults constantly.

Team 2 (double FUA): Topaz + Robin amplify her counter chains. Team 3: Sparkle for turn advantage + Luocha sustain so she can freely tank hits.

Eidolons

How far to invest, which milestones matter

Skills & Traces

What to level first — tap each skill for details

Skill Leveling Priority

Ultimate ★★★★★ The Ultimate massively boosts CRIT DMG on the next Counter and Taunts all enemies to guarantee the Talent's Counter triggers.
Talent ★★★★★ The Talent is Yunli's core damage source, auto-triggering a Counter whenever she's attacked, so it should be leveled alongside the Ultimate.
Skill ★★★☆☆ The Skill both heals and deals AoE damage but is used less frequently than the Talent/Ultimate, so it ranks lower priority.
Basic ATK ★☆☆☆☆ The Basic ATK is just a fallback for Energy generation when there's no Counter target, so it's always the lowest priority.
Trace priority: A2 = A6 > A4 Eidolon priority: E6 > E1 = E2 > E4 > E3 = E5

Yunli FAQ

What is the best Light Cone for Yunli?

The best Light Cone for Yunli is Dance at Sunset (top pick). See F2P options in the Light Cones section above.

Is Yunli worth pulling?

Yunli is a top-tier counter DPS that's easy to build and thrives against single bosses. Roll if you love a punchy, low-maintenance carry that hits back; skip if you're stacked on FUA DPS or mainly play Pure Fiction.

What is the best team for Yunli?

Team 1 (hypercarry): Huohuo/Robin/Tingyun feed energy and ATK/CRIT buffs so Yunli ults constantly. Team 2 (double FUA): Topaz + Robin amplify her counter chains. Team 3: Sparkle for turn advantage + Luocha sustain so she can freely tank hits.

How much Energy does Yunli's Ultimate cost?

Yunli's Ultimate costs 120 Energy. See the Skills section above for the Energy gain and Break DMG of every skill.

What materials does Yunli need to reach max Ascension?

See the full Ascension Materials list above, pulled directly from the latest game data.

How to read this build page

Every character build page has these parts: recommended Light Cone/Relic sets and stat table, a Trace/skill leveling order, Eidolon milestones worth considering, and a reference SPD threshold. Read them in that order — gear tells you "what to use", Traces tell you "what to level first", Eidolon tells you "is it worth pulling dupes", SPD tells you "how fast you need to be to keep the rotation on time". The section below explains how to read each part and applies the same way to every character on the site — check the exact numbers in the table above this section, since community sources sometimes differ by a few points.

Why the Light Cone and Relic picks make sense

Most characters have a "signature" Light Cone built for their exact role, plus a few cheaper substitutes from the standard banner or easy-to-get 3-4★ cones. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most characters keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, typically losing somewhere between a few percent and roughly a fifth of total damage depending on the setup, per most public comparisons.

  • Relic sets (2pc+2pc or 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that character's role (single-target DPS, AoE, shield/healing support, Break damage, and so on).
  • Main stats per slot (Body/Feet/Sphere/Rope) and substats follow a priority that changes by role: DPS roles usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Break-focused roles prioritize Break Effect; support/healing roles often value Effect Hit/RES or Outgoing Healing over pure CRIT.

These weights differ per character and can shift slightly between ranking sources — follow the exact priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.

Trace/skill leveling order by role (a general guideline, not a fixed rule)

There's no single order that's correct for every character, and community sources sometimes disagree depending on the team the character is used in — but the general pattern by role is:

  • DPS: level whichever skill (Skill or Ultimate) carries most of the damage for that character first, with Basic ATK usually last if it isn't the main damage source.
  • Support/Buffer: prioritize Traces that boost buff strength or the skill that applies the effect over Basic ATK, since this role's value comes from lifting the team rather than personal damage.
  • Healer/Shielder: prioritize the main healing or shield skill first, since that is the reason the team runs this character.
  • Break/CC: prioritize whichever skill contributes the most Toughness Damage, since the Break/Weakness Break window is where the team dumps damage.

Major Traces unlock at fixed ascension levels in-game, not by choice — but which one to level first (when resources are limited) should follow the role priority above. Since the exact order can differ between ranking sources, check the specific recommendation in the table above for this character.

Eidolons: how far E0 gets you, and which milestone is worth considering

General rule: most characters at E0 (no duplicates) already handle most content, even 5-star characters. Eidolons are a duplicate-fueled upgrade system — higher levels cost more resources for a smaller power gain, and the actual gain varies a lot per character (some barely change role at E0, others shift how they're played at a specific level). The milestones most often cited by the community tend to sit at E1, E2, or E6 depending on the character — but none of these are required to clear the game's content. Check the Eidolon section in the table above for this character's specific milestone and gain; if sources disagree on how to rate a milestone, trust the in-game effect description over a pre-set percentage number.

How to think about SPD breakpoints

SPD (Speed) controls how often a character acts in the turn order — higher SPD means denser actions, and for some roles (especially support/healing that need to buff or heal before the team gets hit) hitting the right SPD "breakpoint" matters more than the raw SPD number. Values like 101 or 134 SPD are often cited as community-common breakpoints (letting a character act again before or after a specific point in certain team setups) — this is crowd-verified action-gauge math, not an official fixed number the game states for every situation. The right breakpoint also depends on the team and allies' SPD, so treat the SPD suggestion in the table above as a starting point to adjust from, not a mandatory target.
