Yao Guang Character Profile
Yao Guang is a 5-star Physical Elation who serves as the support Elation-based team compositions. Her Skill deploys a Zone for 3 turns that increases all allies' Elation by an amount equal to 20% of her own Elation stat. While the Zone is active, Yao Guang gains 3 Punchline points after using Basic ATK or Skill. Punchline is a team-shared resource that determines the potency of Elation Damage - the more Punchline accumulated, the higher the Elation DMG output. Her Ultimate, grants 5 Punchline points and triggers an immediate extra turn for Aha where a fixed amount of 20 Punchlines is calculated. This turn doesn't consume Punchlines and increases all allies' All-Type RES PEN by 20% for 3 turns.
Her combat abilities center around the "Certified Banger" state obtained through Aha Instant mechanics. When Yao Guang possesses "Certified Banger," allies trigger the "Great Boon" effect after attacking, dealing additional Elation DMG equal to 20% to a random target. If allies consume Skill Points during their attack, additonally triggers Great Boon by 1 time.
Yao Guang's passive traces provide significant team-wide value. Her A2 Trace (Amaze-In Grace) grants increased Elation based on SPD, if her SPD is 120 or higher, she gains 30% Elation, with an additional 1% Elation for every 1 point of SPD above 120, capped at 200 SPD (80% bonus Elation). This makes SPD a critical scaling stat.
