Brief Introduction about Astra Yao

 

Astra Yao is an S-rank agent and Ether Support character. In combat, she uses her musical talents to inspire and aid the whole team. When she enters her Idyllic Cadenza state, she starts a mini-concert, boosting the squad's damage and providing buffs. In this state, switching to other Agents keeps her singing from the backlines, where she becomes invulnerable. Astra's Ultimate heals the team and attacks enemies, with the next two character switches triggering Chain Attacks for extra damage. To end her performance, hold the Basic Attack, which also heals the squad.
