Best Yukong Build Guide

CRIT Support

Stat Targets

  • SPD 1 - 2 SPD faster than the DPS
  • HP 2800 or higher
  • DEF 1000 or higher

Yukong’s buffs do not scale with her stats, so we recommend building Yukong with HP% and DEF% to help her survive longer.
You also need at least 30% Effect RES to trigger Broken Keel.

The important part is tuning Yukong’s SPD to be 1 to 2 points above your DPS, because Yukong’s Skill and Ultimate buff the ally who is about to act next.
