While details about Yao Guang are still limited, the following outlines her currently known abilities and Light Cone based on available information.
What Abilities and Skills Does Yao Guang Use?
Abilities:
- Basic Attack (Whistlebolt Sings Joy): “Deals Physical DMG equal to 90% of Yao Guang’s ATK to one designated enemy and Physical DMG equal to 30% of Yao Guang’s ATK to enemies adjacent to it. Increases Energy regenerated from Basic ATK.” (Energy Regeneration – 30, Weakness Break Single Target: 10 / Blast: 5, Skill Points +1)
- Skill (Decalight Unveils All): “Deploys a Zone for 3 turn(s). The Zone’s remaining duration is reduced by 1 at the start of this unit’s turn. While the Zone is active, increases the Elation of all allies by an amount equal to 15% of Yao Guang’s Elation. After using Basic ATK or Skill, Yao Guang gains 3 Punchline(s).” (Punchline – Punchline is shared by the whole team. When dealing Elation DMG, the more Punchline points taken into account, the higher the Elation DMG.)
- Ultimate(Hexagram of Feathered Fortune): “Gains 5 Punchline(s). Aha immediately gains 1 extra turn where a fixed amount of 20 Punchline(s) is taken into account. This turn, does not consume Punchline(s), and increases all allies’ All-Type RES PEN by 20% for 3 turn(s).”
- Talent (Behold Wherever Light Unfolds): “When Yao Guang possesses “Certified Banger”, ally targets will trigger the “Great Boon” effect after using an attack, dealing additional Elation DMG of the corresponding Type equal to 24% to 1 random hit target. For every 1 Skill Point consumed during this attack, trigger the “Great Boon” effect 1 extra time, up to 3 times per attack.
When triggering “Great Boon,” if the attacker’s Elation is lower than Yao Guang’s, this instance of Elation DMG is calculated using Yao Guang’s Elation. Triggering “Great Boon” is not considered as an attack.”
- Technique (Untethered Glimmer Sails Far): “After using the Technique, automatically triggers Skill 1 time at the start of the next battle without consuming any Skill Points. When Yao Guang is in the team, breaking destructible objects immediately grants “Red Envelope,” up to 8 within every Earth Week.”
