Playstyle overview

Yunli is a damage dealer who automatically launches a Blast counterattack when she is attacked. On top of that, after Yunli uses her Ultimate, she can deliberately enter the Parry state and taunt the enemies. During that time, if she is attacked or when Parry ends, Yunli immediately unleashes a powerful counterattack on the enemies.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • A very strong all-purpose carry
  • Excellent Energy regeneration, so her Ultimate comes steadily
  • Deals extremely high damage in both single-target and AoE
  • Her counter playstyle means she scales off the enemy's SPD rather than her own
  • Built-in self-sustain and crowd control resistance
  • Her Ultimate has a charge system, so Energy rarely overflows

Cons

  • Can be very awkward to hold because the counter on her Ultimate is use-it-or-lose-it
  • Her consistency depends heavily on aggro increases, either from her signature Light Cone or from Lynx
  • Her damage collapses if enemies do not actively attack Yunli

Best Yunli Build Guide

Yunli DPS Build - Follow-up ATK

Stat Targets

  • CRIT Rate 90 - 100%
  • CRIT DMG 120% or higher
  • ATK 3000 or higher

Yunli’s damage depends heavily on CRIT stats, so you will want to stack a lot of them on her.

The Wind-Soaring Valorous and Inert Salsotto are Yunli’s best sets, because they raise her follow-up attack DMG and her Ultimate DMG.

Since Yunli’s damage comes from follow-up attacks, SPD is not a necessary stat for her.

Yunli only lands a single attack, so we recommend getting her CRIT Rate close to 100% to make sure every one of her hits crits.
