Nangong Yu Overview
Nangong Yu is an Ether Stun Agent who specialises in applying Daze and Anomaly to enemies, and providing powerful buffs for her teamates. She is able to increase her Impact for every point of Anomaly Mastery past 100, making her capable of building up the Anomaly bar easily while also stunning enemies surprisingly quickly. When Nangong is in the team, stunned enemies will receive 1 stack of Vibrato for each Abloom/Anomaly/Disorder applied; upon accumulating 5 stacks of Vibrato or recovering from stun while affected by Vibrato, enemies will be hit with an Abloom attack, with its damage increasing by 10% per stack of Vibrato. Nangong can also increase her own Anomaly Proficiency by 100, as well as the whole squad's DMG dealt by 30%, enemies' stun duration by 3 seconds and enemies' stun DMG Multiplier by 30% with her Core Skill.
Her additional Core ability is activated when she's paired with an Agent of the same faction or an Anomaly charcter. With it, any squad member's attacks that hit Stunned enemies increase Anomaly Buildup Rate by 20%, and Chain Attacks that hit Stunned enemies increase Anomaly Buildup Rate by an additional 40%. When any squad member inflicts Daze on an enemy, Nangong Yu gains 2 stacks of Dance Fever, up to 2 stacks max. While Dance Fever is active, using an EX Special Attack, charged Basic Attack, or Quick Assist consumes 1 stack of Dance Fever. When that skill's heavy attack hits an enemy suffering from Attribute Anomaly and Daze, it triggers a special Disorder effect called Polarity Disorder, which deals 40% of the original Disorder DMG to the target.
Nangong Yu Skill Priority
Below are the best skill priorities for Nangong Yu:
| Skill | Priority |
| ★★★★★ (Top) | |
| ★★★★ (Top) | |
| ★★★ (High) | |
| ★★★ (High) | |
| ★ (Low) | |
| ★★ (Low) |
Nangong gets a lot of value from her Core Skill, her damage contribution rises considerably with each upgrade, so you should prioritise upgrading it first. Afterwards, you should upgrade her Basic Attack, as her gameplay heavily revolves around using charged Basic Attacks. Next on the list are her Chain Attack and Special Attack, though used less frequent than her Basic Attack, both of them have amazing Daze multipliers. Finally, her Assist and Dodge stand at the least prioritised skills, as Nangong won't stay onfield for long and you'll spend most of the time controlling another character.
Nangong Yu Best W-Engines
As a Stun Agent who's also an Anomaly hybrid, Nangong wants as much Anomaly Mastery and/or Impact as possible, with Anomaly Mastery taking priority over Impact. Being the first Stun character to scale on Anomaly Mastery, her Signature W-Engine - Neon Fantasies is the only Stun W-Engine to provide Nangong with Anomaly Mastery, making it highly recommended if you wish to maximise her potential.
