Introductions
Welcome to our team composition guide for Yao Guang in Honkai: Star Rail. In this guide, we'll explore the best teams to build for Yao Guang, including recommended team compositions, character synergies and everything you need to know to let your Yao Guang teams shine.
Best Synergies for Yao Guang
Sparxie and Yao Guang are currently a great pairing with Yao Guang being an important part of any elation-based team composition. That being said, Yao Guang currently has very limited options for who she can support.
Huohuo is a sustain unit who can grant energy to all allies with her Ultimate. Huohuo is SP Neutral at best which is not good in every team but as Yao Guang generates more Skill Points than most units this is a worthwhile trade off in order to get Huohuo's Ultimate. The additional energy lets Yao Guang cast her Ultimate more frequently resulting in higher Ultimate uptime, more Aha Instants and thus more Certified Banger stacks. While the ATK% provided by this ultimate is not useful for Yao Guang it will be useful for the DPS on the team.
Archer is a Skill Point intensive support that uses multiple attacks per combat round. Yao Guang generates a lot of Skill Points making her a solid support for Archer, while providing Archer with increased DMG taken on enemies and all-type RES PEN. Archer's Multiple attacks will trigger the additional Elation DMG from Yao Guang synergising well.
