"Next, it's punishment time, reserved only for well-behaved kids~ Oh my, looks like someone's already getting excited?"
"It's just a meet-and-greet, why so nervous? Worried you'll fall for me?"
"Okay, okay. I'll stop messing with ya~"
"I'll let it slide this time. But we'll be 'old pals' the next time we meet, so when that happens, try to loosen up a bit!"

Banner Availability & How to Pull Nangong Yu
Nangong Yu is not currently available on any Banners. Nangong Yu was last available to be pulled in Version 2.7.
Nangong Yu's Core Passives
Nangong Yu's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 100;
When Nangong Yu's Anomaly Mastery exceeds 100, every point of initial Anomaly Mastery above this threshold increases her Impact by 0.8;
When an enemy is Stunned, they accumulate 1 stack(s) of [Mark] each time they enter an Anomaly state, are hit by an [Abloom] attack, or a [Disorder] attack;
The same enemy can accumulate a maximum of 5 stacks of [Mark];
When an enemy is affected by an Attribute Anomaly state, if [Mark] reaches maximum stacks or when an enemy with [Mark] recovers from being Stunned, all [Mark] stacks are removed;
When [Mark] is removed, it triggers the special [Disorder] effect [Polarity Disorder], dealing 50% of the original [Disorder] effect's DMG to the enemy. For every stack of [Mark] on the enemy, this [Polarity Disorder] deals an additional 10% of the original [Disorder] effect's DMG. [Polarity Disorder] does not clear the target's Attribute Anomaly state;
During the same Stun period, if [Mark] has already been cleared, the enemy cannot be inflicted with [Mark] again;
When Nangong Yu's [Basic Attack: Charged Attack] or [EX Special Attack] hits an enemy, her Anomaly Buildup Rate is increased by 30%, Daze Buildup Rate is increased by 15%, and DMG dealt by the whole squad is increased by 30% for 20s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
When Nangong Yu's [Basic Attack: Charged Attack] hits an enemy, the enemy gains the [Stun] effect. Enemies under this effect have their Stun duration increased by 3s when entering the Stunned state. The [Stun] effect can trigger on the same target a maximum of once before they recover from being Stunned. The Stun duration increase effect does not stack with similar effects. The [Stun] effect ends when an enemy with the effect recovers from being Stunned;
When any squad member causes an enemy to enter the Stunned state, the enemy's Stun DMG Multiplier is increased by 30%;
While in-combat, Nangong Yu recovers 4 [Dance Points] per second. When any squad member causes an enemy to enter an Anomaly state, Nangong Yu additionally recovers 20 [Dance Points]. This effect can trigger once every 8s;
Nangong Yu can have a maximum of 100 [Dance Points].
When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same Faction:
When any squad member's attack hits a Stunned enemy, Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 20%. When a Chain Attack hits a Stunned enemy, Anomaly Buildup Rate further increases by 40%. When the on-field Agent's Chain Attack heavy attack hits an enemy afflicted with an Attribute Anomaly, it triggers a special Disorder effect called Polarity Disorder, dealing 40% of the original Disorder effect's DMG to the target. Polarity Disorder does not remove the target's Attribute Anomaly state. This effect can trigger a maximum of once per enemy Daze.

Being hit by a heavy attack from an [Ultimate] will accumulate 2 stack(s) of [Mark: Revised]. [Mark: Revised] can stack up to 5 times. When the accumulated stacks of [Mark: Revised] on an enemy reach the maximum, it will trigger a [Polarity Disorder] and clear all [Mark: Revised] stacks, dealing DMG equal to 40% of the original [Disorder] effect to the target. For each stack of [Mark: Revised] on the enemy, the DMG Multiplier of this [Polarity Disorder] is additionally increased by 8%. [Polarity Disorder] will not clear the target's Attribute Anomaly state. After triggering [Polarity Disorder] via [Mark: Revised], the same enemy cannot accumulate [Mark: Revised] again until it recovers from being Stunned. [Mark: Revised] and [Mark] cannot stack with each other.
