Ye Shunguang possesses the unique Honed Edge attribute, allowing her to enter the Enlightened Mind state under specific conditions and activate Ether Veil: Verdict to inflict Veil Vulnerability on enemies and unleash various attacks that deal massive Honed Edge DMG. Additionally, she can consume Decibels to unleash Ultimate: Chasing Storms, followed by an even more powerful Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens.

Ye Shunguang Kit & Overview

QINGMING SWORD FORCE

This is the most important thing you need to learn. Ye Shunguang gains Qingming Sword Force when using certain skills, up to 6 points. Below are the methods to accumulate Qingming Sword Force points:

• Use Basic ATK to fill the bar below the Qingming Sword Force bar. Once the bar is full, she will get 1 Qingming Sword Force.
• With enough energy, press EX Special Attack to activate EX Special Attack: Gale Suppression and get 1 Qingming Sword Force.
• When another character in your squad is a Support/Defense character, and your squadmate activates an Ether Veil, gain 3 Qingming Sword Forces.

When obtaining Qingming Sword through these methods, each excess point of Qingming Sword Force will be converted into 1 stack of Bearer. When exiting the Enlightened Mind state, all stacks of Bearer will be consumed to gain an equal number of Qingming Sword Force stacks.

ENLIGHTENED MIND STATE

➡️ When Ye Shunguang has 6 Qingming Sword Force and is not in the Enlightened Mind state, hold Basic Attack or press Assist to switch in from off-field to activate. YSG will enter the Enlightened Mind state, activate Ether Veil: Verdict, and deal Physical DMG to enemies in a large area in front.
➡️ Ye Shunguang will also enter the Enlightened Mind state by using Ultimate: Chasing Storms.
While in the Enlightened Mind state, Ye Shunguang will use more powerful skills, and all Physical DMG dealt by skills will become Honed Edge DMG.

THE TWO ULTIMATES

Ye Shunguang has 2 different Ultimates. The first one is Ultimate: Chasing Storms, where you need to consume 3000 Decibels. As mentioned before, this Ultimate will make YSG enter the Enlightened Mind state.

The second one is Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens. This one is only possible after activating Ultimate: Chasing Storms and while in the Enlightened Mind state. Press the Chain Attack button again (will not use Decibels) to activate Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens.

COMBOS / ROTATIONS

First of all, you need to get 6 Qingming Sword Force points by spamming her Basic Attack and also by another character activating their Ether Veil (ZHAO- She’s free. Please use her). Once you enter the Enlightened Mind state, there are many combos you can use, depending on the enemies or just according to your comfort. But what I find most convenient is the following rotations:

Enter Enlightened Mind State (Hold BA or Switch in from off-field or Ultimate: Chasing Storms) > 3BA + BA + EX Special ATK + 2BA + BA > Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens to exit Enlightened Mind state

BA is Basic Attack. It may look difficult, but once you get used to it, it’s extremely easy! Go to Free Training and try the rotations there for a few rounds to get used to it.

Ye Shunguang Synergy & Team Compositions

As an Attack DPS, Ye Shunguang’s team composition is pretty simple. With her as the main DPS, there’s no need for Sub-DPS in the team, as her damage is already outrageous enough. All she needs is a stunner and a buffer. In some cases, a team without a stunner is also fine (double buffer), as she doesn’t really need the enemies to be in a stunned state to deal huge damage.

In terms of stunners, her best stun teammates are Dialyn, followed by Ju Fufu and Trigger. While Dialyn is not an off-field stunner like Ju Fufu and Trigger, Dialyn’s selling point is how she can allow the next character to switch in during Chain ATK to instantly trigger their Ultimate. Ye Shunguang’s main damage output comes from her Enlightened Mind state, in which she can enter the state using Ultimate.

While for the buffer, Zhao is the best buffer for Ye Shunguang in the current version. Not only is she free, she can activate Ether Veil to provide Qingming Sword Force points for YSG, and also other useful buffs, despite being a Defense character. Next is obviously Astra Yao with her abundance of buffs, followed by Rina and Nicole.

Team Composition Examples

The standard team will be:
Ye Shunguang as the Main DPS.
Dialyn / Ju Fufu / Trigger as the Stunner.
Zhao / Astra Yao / Rina / Nicole as Buffer.

If you want to go stunless for the team:
Ye Shunguang as the Main DPS.
Zhao as the first Buffer.
Astra Yao / Rina / Nicole as the second Buffer.
