Introductions

Yao Guang is a 5★ Physical character who follows the Path of Elation.
Our Yao Guang Build Guide will show you the best Light Cones, Relics, and Team Compositions to build the most powerful Yao Guang you can.

Yao Guang's Best Light Cone

When She Decided to See
S1
Increases the wearer's SPD by 18.0 / 21.0 / 24.0 / 27.0 / 30.0%. When the wearer enters combat or uses Ultimate on an ally target, the wearer gains "Great Fortune" for 3 turn(s). While the wearer has "Great Fortune," all allies' CRIT Rate increases by 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0 / 13.0 / 14.0%, CRIT DMG increases by 30.0 / 37.5 / 45.0 / 52.5 / 60.0%, and the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate increases by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%.
Yao Guang's signature option will undoubtedly be her best in slot Light Cone upon release. This increases SPD and grants CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and Energy Regeneration Rate to the entire party.
Mushy Shroomy's Adventures
Increases the wearer's Elation by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation DMG taken by all enemies by 8.0 / 9.0 / 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0% for 2 turn(s).
A great 4-Star option for Yao Guang granting increased Elation and also increases Elation DMG taken by all enemies which is perfect for a more supportive unit such as Yao Guang.
Today's Good Luck
Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 12.0 / 14.0 / 16.0 / 18.0 / 20.0%. When the wearer uses an Elation Skill, increases Elation by 10.0 / 11.0 / 12.0 / 13.0 / 14.0%, stacking up to 3 times.

Best Relics and Planar Ornaments for Yao Guang

Best Relics for Yao Guang

These are the best Relic Sets to build for Yao Guang.

Diviner of Distant Reach
2-Piece Set: Increases SPD by 6.0%.
4-Piece Set: Before entering combat, if the wearer's SPD is greater than or equal to 120/160, increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 10.0%/18.0%. When the wearer uses Elation Skill for the first time in each battle, enhances all allies' Elation by 10.0%. This effect cannot stack.
Yao Guang's best relic set currently provides additional SPD and increases CRIT Rate based on the amount of SPD you have built on your Yao Guang making SPD an important stat breakpoint to hit.

Best Planar Ornaments

Lushaka, the Sunken Seas
2-Piece Set: Increases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5.0%. If the wearer is not the first character in the team lineup, then increases the ATK of the first character in the team lineup by 12.0%.
Provides additional energy and also increase the ATK of the first character in the team assuming it is not Yao Guang. When using Lushaka, place Sparxie in the first position.
