Main features of Yunli
How to get Yunli
This heroine can only be obtained during the event Jump. In the near future, the corresponding banner will be launched as part of the first phase of patch 2.4. If you want to be one of the first to know about her next rerun, we advise you to bookmark this article.
Let’s add that HoYoverse only once gave a 5-star character in honor of winning the category for “best mobile game of the year” and never once for completing various events, so it is highly likely that you will be able to unlock this talented swordswoman from Zhuming Xianzhou only with the help of Jumping.
Progression of Yunli characteristics
In the table below you can see how the heroine's basic parameters change as her level increases.
| Level | Attack Power | Protection | HP | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 92 | 63 | 185 | 94 |
| 20 | 180 | 122 | 360 | 94 |
| 40 | 347 | 235 | 693 | 94 |
| 60 | 513 | 348 | 1100 | 94 |
| 80 | 679 | 461 | 1358 | 94 |
Note that her critical damage, critical hit chance and taunt are 50%, 5% and 125 units respectively at any level, and her energy reserve is 240 units.
Yunli's abilities
The most important ability of a swordswoman is talent "Bright Forge", since it is on its basis that all of its gameplay is built, so let’s first consider this passive. When attacked by an enemy, Yunli immediately launches a counterattack that deals physical damage to the attacking enemy equal to 60-120% of her attack power, and also damages nearby targets in the amount of 30-60% of her ATK.
If there are no enemies nearby to counterattack, she will strike random enemies. The heroine additionally restores 15 units of energy if she receives a blow.
Explanation: The main task of talent is the accumulation of energy. For example, when receiving a blow from an enemy, she will receive a total of 25-35 units of energy (5-15 from the enemy attack, 15 from the passive and another 5 from the counter-attack). This significantly simplifies the activation of the ult, which significantly enhances the heroine’s attacks.
When using a basic attack "Gusty wind somersault" She deals physical damage to the enemy equal to 50~100% of her attack power. At the same time, it restores 20 units of energy and penetrates 30 units of durability.
Explanation: Ordinary, unremarkable attacks that can cause relatively considerable damage thanks to the heroine’s high base attack. You will most likely use them quite often due to the not very high usefulness of the skill. This will allow you to save skill points.
After using the skill "Shock Wave" it restores health in the amount of 20-30% of its attack power +50-200 units, and also deals physical damage to the selected target and adjacent enemies in the amount of 60~120% and 30-60% of its attack power, respectively. At the same time, the skill restores 30 units of energy and penetrates 60 units of durability (an explosion can remove another 30 units).
Explanation: The skill deals very little damage and often provides less energy than a counterattack, which does the same amount of damage. For this reason, it is not necessary to use the skill on every Yunli move - it is better to use a basic strike to save points. However, it may be useful to you if you urgently need to treat the heroine.
Using a superpower "Messenger of Heaven", she places Taunt on all opponents and gains the Block status until the end of the next ally or opponent's turn. The next counterattack is replaced by Intuit: Extermination, which deals physical damage to the attacking enemy in the amount of 132-220% of Yunli's attack power and 66-110% to adjacent targets, and then the heroine makes 6 additional hits to random enemies, whose damage is 43.2-72 % of the heroine's ATK. After this, the Block status is removed.
If the counterattack was not activated during the Block, then Yunli performs the Intuit: Cutdown strike, inflicting physical damage to a random enemy in the amount of 132-220% of Yunli’s attack power and 66-110% to adjacent targets. The critical damage of both attacks is increased by 60-100%. The damage dealt is considered superpower damage.
Explanation: Considering that Chop is somewhat weaker than Destruction, it is extremely important to choose the right moment to use the ultimate, that is, you do not need to activate it immediately after accumulating 120 units of energy. If you do this before your ally's turn, the Block status will disappear and the heroine will not perform the Exterminate strike.
So you should activate your ultimate right before the enemy's turn (preferably the most dangerous one in the arena) to cast Taunt on him. As a result, he is guaranteed to attack the swordswoman, and she will carry out an enhanced counterattack Intuit: Extermination. Let's add that the developers specifically allowed players to accumulate 240 units of energy from Yunli - the energy received in excess of the norm (120 units) will not be burned in vain while you wait for the right moment to activate the superpower.
It is also impossible not to mention the technology "Preemptive Strike", the use of which allows you to get the Amulet effect for 20 seconds. If during its duration Yunli (or her allies) attacks an enemy or gets hit, then after the start of the battle she will immediately use Intuit: Extermination on a random target, increasing the damage of this attack by 80%.
Traces of Yunli
In addition to the above abilities, the heroine’s leveling tree also includes other enhancements that provide passive bonuses or permanent increases to characteristics. It's mainly about increasing your maximum health, attack power, and critical hit chance. You can see them all in the picture below.
Next, we’ll briefly look at special tracks with their own mechanics:
- Fire Disc – after each activation of Intuit: Cutting Down, its next activation is replaced by Intuit: Extermination. This allows you to use the most powerful counterattack in at least half of the ult’s actions if the enemies are not eager to attack Yunli. At the same time, you can see that the next blow will be Extermination by the small glowing icon near the heroine’s portrait.
- Expel Demons – If Yunli Block status is present, it is impossible to take control of her, and the damage she receives is reduced by 20%. This passive reduces the likelihood that the heroine will be incapacitated after activating her ult before the enemy's turn.
- True division - using a counterstrike increases Yunli's attack power by 30% for 1 turn. Simply increases the character's overall damage.
Eidolons of Yunli
To unlock them, materials of the same name are required, which are issued when duplicates of the heroine appear, which, of course, is random. And considering the rarity of 5-star character drops, be prepared to spend a lot of money and time on this. Fortunately, even without eidolons, Yunli can easily play the role of the main damage dealer in the team. Below is a list of them:
- The weathered blade does not get dirty - increases the damage done by Intuit: Chop and Intuit: Decimate by 20%. The latter deals 3 additional hits more.
- First light at dawn - counterattack ignores 20% of target's defense.
- Length of the mast - the level of the ult increases by two, and the level of the basic attack - by one. The maximum level for the first increases to 15, and for the second – to 10.
- Artisan's Iron Song - after using Intuit: Cutting Down and Intuit: Destruction, increases the resistance to the heroine's effects by 50% for 1 turn.
- The old blade will outlive everyone - the level of skill and talent increases by two. The maximum level for both increases to 15. Increases overall damage well.
- Walk in the Blade, Talk in the Zither - While Block is active, if the enemy activates his abilities, regardless of whether he attacks Yunli or not, Intuit: Extermination is still used. When dealing damage through Intuit: Cutting down or Intuit: Extermination, critical chance. hits increases by 15%, and penetration of physical vulnerability by 20%.
If you plan to knock out eidolons and have a limited budget, then you can stop at E1 and E2. The first will enhance the heroine’s bonus attacks, and the second will allow them to deal much more damage. The first eidolon is less useful, so if you have a choice between it and the signature, then we recommend taking the second option.
How to play as Yunli
Many compare Yunli with Clara, considering her an improved version of the resident of Belobog, but this is not at all true. Firstly, gameplay as a swordswoman requires more involvement in the process, since it is not enough to just press your ultimate and wait for someone to attack you - you need to guess the right moment, activating the superpower right before the turn of the enemy you want to finish off as quickly as possible.
Secondly, Yunli is more suitable for destroying strong single opponents, since the counterattack Intuit: Extermination allows you to deal 6 additional hits to one target in the absence of other mobs nearby. In addition, her skill only hits 3 enemies, while Clara’s hits everyone on the battlefield, and enemies with marks receive increased damage. Plus, the latter will be attacked more often if there are many opponents in the arena.
Let’s add that Yunli doesn’t have to be turned into the main damage dealer - you can easily use her as a sub-damage dealer/tank, who will distract the attention of enemies, give you additional skill points, using mainly basic attacks, and constantly deal damage with counterattacks without your direct participation.
As for the optimal rotation for Yunli, it will look like this:
- Activate the heroine's technique before the start of the battle to immediately deal a powerful blow to your enemies. In the Virtual Universe and its varieties, you will be able to destroy all ordinary mobs at once or remove their resistance.
- Once it's Yunli's turn, you can use her basic attack to save skill points for sub-dampers and/or supports, since counterattacks still provide the same or more energy and do the same damage. An additional 10 units of energy and hundreds of units of damage will not fundamentally change the battle. You can use the skill if you urgently need to finish off the enemy or heal the heroine.
- When you accumulate the first 120 units of energy and the ultimate becomes available to you, do not use it immediately. Wait for the moment when the enemy you want to quickly destroy (a boss or an elite enemy) should come and only then activate the superpower so that the selected monster is guaranteed to attack Yunli and receive Intuit: Extermination from her.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Yunli
Thanks to her unique abilities, Yunli can inflict enormous damage with counterattacks, both to single enemies and to groups of opponents. Its advantages also include:
- She has a high base attack and health (these parameters are further increased by Traces), which has a positive effect on her damage and survivability.
- It is mainly aimed at dealing damage to single targets, but it also performs well in battles with large groups of enemies, since its counterattacks hit several targets at once.
- Capable of serving not only as a damage dealer, but also as a tank, diverting the attention of enemies to herself with the help of Taunt. At the same time, you won’t have to waste your healer’s abilities on her, since she can heal herself on her own.
- Her build is relatively easy to construct, because she does not require high speed, since she deals the main damage with counterattacks, and her ultimate significantly increases critical damage. As a result, you can focus all your efforts on just two stats: attack power and critical hit chance.
- Allows you to save skill points, since the heroine does not need to activate her skill all the time. This makes it easier to use with any hypercarry in need of skill points.
- Thanks to the double reserve of energy, she can easily gain it even after her ult is ready for use. Plays its main role perfectly even without Eidolons, which will certainly appeal to F2P players.
However, there are some downsides, some of which follow directly from its advantages:
- Her main source of damage is the counterattack Intuit: Destruction, which triggers after activating her ultimate, so it is extremely important for her to gain energy as quickly as possible. However, if enemies do not attack her often, then she may have problems with this.
- You need to be extremely careful when using the ultimate so that Intuit: Extermination is guaranteed to work on the right enemy. However, not all players will like to constantly monitor the progress of their allies and opponents. In addition, the effectiveness of this tactic can be significantly reduced if mobs move slowly or rarely attack.
- She doesn't work well with characters who inflict Freeze, Imprisonment, or other types of long-term stuns, because in this case, enemies will not be able to attack her, and, therefore, she will not be able to carry out counterattacks.
- She can only cast Taunt while her ult is active, but at the same time it is important for her that opponents hit her more often. Therefore, it is extremely important to get her signature weapon or take a support that increases the likelihood of attack (Lynx, March 7th).
Best builds for Yunli
Best Light Cones
When choosing a weapon, you should pay attention to those options that increase attack power, critical hit chance and the likelihood of being attacked, as well as enhance bonus attacks and superpowers. The table below presents the most interesting options.
| Name | Characteristics | Ability |
|---|---|---|
|
Sunset Dance (5 stars) |
HP: 48-1058 Attack Power: 26-582 Defense: 21-463 |
Significantly increases the wearer's chance of being attacked and increases their critical damage by 36-60%. After the wearer uses the ultimate, he receives 1 charge of Fire Dance, which lasts 2 turns and stacks up to 2 times. Each charge increases the damage dealt by your next attack by 36-60%. Yunli's signature weapon, which increases all the characteristics she needs. Unless it gives crit. chance, so you will have to get it from relics. With this cone, it will not be necessary to take Lynx into the squad. |
|
Brighter Than the Sun (5 stars) |
HP: 1058 ATK: 635 DEF: 396 |
Increases crit. 18% chance. When the wielder uses a basic attack, he gains 1 level of Dragon's Call status for 2 turns. Each level of Dragon's Call increases attack power by 18% and energy recovery rate by 6%. The Dragon's Call status can stack up to two times. Gives the critical chance Yunli needs. Since you will often use the basic attack, you can easily activate the passive, which will make it easier for you to accumulate energy for the ult and increase the damage from counterattacks. |
|
The Unreachable Side (5 stars) |
HP: 57~1270 Attack Power: 26~582 Defense: 15~330 |
Increases the chance of inflicting crit. hit and health by 18-30%. When receiving an attack or decreasing health, the hero's damage increases by 24-40%. The buff disappears after using an attack. Gives the critical chance Yunli needs and increases her survivability. Again, she will be able to activate the passive without any problems, because the heroine will be attacked often, so her counterattacks will be able to inflict even higher damage. |
|
Something Irreplaceable (5 stars) |
HP: 1164 ATK: 582 DEF: 396 |
Increases attack power by 24-40%. After destroying an enemy or receiving a blow, immediately restores health equal to 8-12% of the attack power. The wearer's damage increases by 24-40% until the end of the next turn. The bonus does not stack and is activated only once per turn. Significantly increases attack power, which increases her overall damage, and restores some health, favorably affecting the heroine’s survivability. Activates the passive without any problems, because, like Clara, Yunli will be attacked quite often, so she will be able to carry out buffed counterattacks. You just have to get crits from relics. |
|
On the Fall of an Aeon (5 stars) |
HP: 1058 ATK: 529 DEF: 396 |
Increases the wearer's attack power by 8-16% in the current match each time he attacks an enemy. Stacks up to four times. If the vulnerability is broken, the damage increases by 12-24% for two turns. The main advantage of this cone is that it is free, as you can get it in the Herta store in Virtual universe and awaken to maximum level. Significantly increases the heroine's attack power, and, consequently, her overall damage. However, some problems may arise with breaking through resistance, because opponents may simply lack physical vulnerability. |
|
Under the Blue Sky (4 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 21~476 Defense: 15~330 |
Increases attack power by 16-32%. If you defeat an enemy, increases the chance of landing a critical hit by 12-24% for 3 turns. A good cone that increases the heroine’s overall damage and the likelihood of her delivering a critical hit. True, he will be able to fully reveal his potential only when fighting large groups of enemies or bosses capable of summoning ordinary mobs. |
|
Nowhere to Run (4 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 21~529 Protection: 12~264 |
Increases attack power by 24-48%. After defeating an enemy, heals the owner by 12-24% of his attack power. Significantly increases ATK, which increases Yunli's overall damage, and allows her to heal, which is quite useful considering the tank gameplay. A good weapon, however, it is obtained from the Battle Pass. We do not recommend purposefully spending money on it when you can get “On the Fall of an Aeon” for free. If you already have this cone, then you can safely give it to the swordsman if there are no alternatives. |
|
The Moles Welcome You (4 stars) |
HP: 1058 ATK: 476 DEF: 264 |
Grants 1 level of Mischief when attacking with a basic hit, skill, or ult. Each level increases attack power by 12-24%. It can significantly increase attack power with its passive, which is very easy to use - you just need to hit enemies with almost any blows. Unfortunately, bonus attacks are not included here, so the stacks will accumulate more slowly than you would like. |
|
A Secret Vow (4 stars) |
HP: 1058 ATK: 476 DEF: 264 |
Increases damage by 20-40% and deals an additional 20-40% damage to selected enemies with a higher percentage of health than the wearer. Significantly increases overall damage, and activating the second part of the passive at the cone will not be difficult, because enemies will often attack Yunli, reducing her health bar. The main thing is not to try to completely heal the heroine all the time. |
|
A Indelible Promise (4 stars) |
HP: 43~952 Attack Power: 21~476 Defense: 15~330 |
Increases penetration effect by 28-56%. When a hero uses an ult, his chance of crit. attack increases by 15-30% for two turns. Yunli's penetration effect is not very useful, although she can penetrate enemies' vulnerabilities quite quickly with her frequent counterattacks. The main value of this cone is to increase the chance of crit. hit, which the heroine really needs. On the 5th awakening, it can significantly increase her damage. |
|
Woof! Walk Time! (4 stars) |
HP: 952 ATK: 476 DEF: 330 |
Increases attack power by 10-20% and damage dealt to enemies with Bleeding and Burning effects by 16-32%. The bonus also applies to periodic damage. Considering the bonus, you should definitely have a fire character in your team. Can be used as a starting weapon until you find better options. This cone increases the heroine’s overall damage and allows her to inflict increased damage on enemies with a vulnerability pierced by Yunli herself, because then they will be assigned the Bleeding status. |
The best relics
As for the choice of ordinary relics mined in corrosion caves, the table below shows the most optimal options.
| Name | Bonuses | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
|
The Wind-Soaring Valorous |
2 pieces: Increases attack power by 12%. 4 pieces: Increases critical hit chance by 6%. After using a bonus attack, increases super damage by 36% for 1 turn. |
The best option for Yunli, which will significantly increase the damage from her Intuit: Annihilation, because she will be able to activate the second bonus of the set without any problems. As a reminder, the damage from this bonus attack is considered superpower damage. |
|
The Ashblazing Grand Duke |
2 pieces: Increases bonus attack damage by 20%. 4 pieces: When the wearer performs a bonus attack, their attack power increases by 6% each time the bonus attack deals damage. This effect can stack up to 8 times and lasts for 3 turns. The effect is removed the next time the owner performs a bonus attack. |
A good alternative to the previous set, which will significantly strengthen the heroine’s counterattacks. Intuition: Exterminate will also deal more damage due to Yunli's increased attack power. Can be used if you have suitable stats. |
|
Discoverer of dead waters |
2 pieces: Increases damage dealt to debuffed enemies by 12%. 4 parts: increase critical chance by 4%. The owner's critical damage dealt to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs is increased by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner applies a Debuff to an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn. |
Quite a powerful set for Yunli, which can significantly increase her overall damage. She herself is capable of inflicting weakening on enemies (Taunt), but this will not be enough to get the maximum benefit from the set, so be sure to take 1-2 characters from the Oblivion path as assistants. |
|
Champion of Streetwise Boxing |
2 copies: physical damage characteristic increases by 10%. 4 copies: after using an attack or getting hit, the wearer's attack power increases by 5%. |
Can be used as a starting set if you have the right characteristics. However, later it is recommended to change it to the more useful kits listed above. |
Now let's move on to planar jewelry, which is mined in Virtual universe. The list below shows the recommended options (the numbers indicate the priority of choice):
| Planar decoration | Bonuses | Reasons for choice |
|---|---|---|
|
1) Inert Salsotto |
2 copies: the carrier's critical hit chance increases by 8%. When the total indicator of this stat exceeds 50%, the damage of bonus attacks and ults increases by 15%. | An ideal set for Yunli, as it not only gives her the necessary crits, but also increases the damage from normal counterattacks (bonus attacks) and Intuit: Extermination (superpower). |
|
2) Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves |
When an ally performs a bonus attack, the wearer receives 1 level of Feat (maximum 5). Each stack increases the owner's bonus attack damage by 5%. Having gained 5 levels of the Feat, the wearer additionally receives a 25% bonus to critical damage. | Critical damage for Yunli is less useful than crit. chance, because the first one already increases the ult. The passive allows you to significantly increase the damage from counterattacks. Can be taken instead of the previous set with more suitable stats. |
|
3) Celestial Differentiator |
2 parts: increase crit. damage to the owner by 16%. If critical The owner's damage is higher than or equal to 120%, then at the beginning of the battle the crit. The owner's chance is increased by 60% until the end of his first attack. | Thanks to her ult, the heroine can easily overcome the 120% mark, so her crit. the chance will increase significantly, and, consequently, the damage. However, in terms of usefulness, this set is still inferior to the previous two. |
Concerning characteristics of relics, then you need to choose as follows:
- Body: Critical Hit Chance
- Legs: attack power%
- Planar Sphere: Physical Damage Bonus
- Connecting rope: attack power%
- Additional characteristics: crit chance > attack% > critical damage > energy recovery
Yunli performs powerful single strikes, so it is recommended to keep her critical hit chance as close to 90-100% as possible to ensure she crits every time she makes Intuit: Obliterate. Critical damage can be given less attention, but with the bonus from the ult it should be at least 110-120%.
As for the attack power, it should be above 3000 units. It is advisable to increase health to 3100-3200 units.
The best teams for Yunli
As we noted above, Yunli can play the role of both the main and secondary damage dealer. In the first case, she will need any supports that can increase attack power, critical hit chance and energy recovery, as well as enhance bonus attacks and superpowers. The best options for this are Robin and Huohuo. The latter will also be able to heal the swordswoman if necessary.
If you are looking for a budget healer, then pay attention to Lynx, since she will not only be able to heal Yunli, but also increase her attack power (E4) and the likelihood of being attacked by enemies. When using Discoverer of Dead Waters, we recommend that you combine the swordswoman with Pele, who will apply additional debuffs to enemies.
When using Yunli as a sub-detonator, you can choose the main damage dealer to be a character who either also uses bonus attacks (Jade, Ratio, Topaz) or needs a lot of skill points (Moon Eater, Jingliu). The table below shows all the most interesting squad options.
