Honkai: Star Rail – Yukong Build Guide

Best Light Cone

Back to All Characters

Yukong is a buffer inHonkai: Star Railwith massive buff value, but this great effect is highly limited and players must properly strategize to get the most out of its worth. Fortunately, building Yukong isn’t as crucial as strategizing the team’s movements. This is mostly becauseHonkai: Star Rail1.1 still has limited equipment, so players can simply make do with what they have.

Yukong’s buff doesn’t scale off her own stat, so players can opt to make her a damage dealer or a tank based on their needs. To summarize, here’s what Trailblazers need to know aboutYukong buildinHonkai: Star Rail.

Yukong Best Relics In Honkai: Star Rail

There are only alimited number of Relic sets inHonkai: Star Rail, so there are no fully-suitable sets for Yukong. Players can use4pc Wastelander of Banditry Desertto increase Imaginary DMG;4pc Thief of Shooting Meteorfor a weakness breaker build. Imaginary’s weakness break has one of the lowest damage, and it also deals no DoT damage, but increasing Break Effect can further delay the enemy’s turn on top of slowing them;4pc Musketeer of Wild Wheatto boost SPD and Basic Attack DMG; or4pc Guard of Wuthering Snowto increase Yukong’s survivability.

For Planar Ornament,2pc Fleet of the Agelessis the top option to increase the team’s ATK and Yukong’s HP, but other sets likeInert Salsotto,Sprightly Vonwacq, andTalia: Kingdom of Banditryare all viable if players compose the rest of their Relics correctly.

Yukong Best Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail

But the Battle Isn’t Overis a great Light Cone for Harmony characters. For Yukong, players must tune their SPD so that the DPS’s turn comes right after Yukong, which will significantly utilize the weapon’s passive. One thing worth noting is that Yukong’s Ultimate may not be considered as “using their Ultimate on an ally” since it simply increases Bowstring’s effect, so the Skill Point restoration will not occur. For other setups like the DoT team,Carve the Moon, Weave the Cloudscan be a better option. In a DoT team, instead of aiming for Yukong to move first, she should move last. This way, the team’s ATK will be boosted when the enemy starts moving and takes DoT DMG.

For a mono-Imaginary team like theSilver Wolf’s team comp inHonkai: Star Rail,Planetary Rendezvousis a decent option. Meanwhile,Chorusis a great weapon for new players as it unconditionally increases the team’s ATK by 12%.

Yukong Trace Priority In Honkai: Star Rail

Yukong’s Trace priority inHonkai: Star Railis:

Yukong’s ATK buff appears from her Skill, while Crit Rate and Crit DMG buff come from her Ultimate. However, because her Crit buff won’t exist without her Skill’s Roaring Bowstring stacks being present, the Skill takes slight precedence over Ultimate.

Although she’s a support, Yukong’s damage-dealing Basic Attack and Talent shouldn’t be ignored. Yukong dealsextra Imaginary DMG on her Basic Attack, and the Toughness reducing effect is also boosted, which means, despite lacking damage ability from her Skill, she can still help with her Basic Attack when casting Skill is not possible.
