As a Physical Destruction character who specializes in counterattacks, Yunli’s counters are considered Follow-up Attacks, and the damage from her Ultimate is not to be underestimated. Her mechanics are somewhat similar to Clara’s, but overall, she is more refined—not only does she have HP recovery from her Skill, but her Ultimate also provides a fixed taunt. Trailblazers who have Yunli but aren’t sure how to build her for maximum potential, don’t miss this Yunli Build Guide!
Who is Yunli?
“Yunli” is a Physical character following the Path of Destruction. As a Destruction character, Yunli’s mechanics are similar to Clara’s—she is a character who relies on being hit to trigger counterattacks. She primarily counters through her Talent’s passive effect, and by manually unleashing her Ultimate at the right moment to taunt and parry enemies, she can unleash even more powerful counterattacks, dealing massive amounts of damage.
- Character Advantages
- A top-tier DPS for Follow-up Attack and Counter teams, capable of excelling in all three endgame modes: Apocalyptic Shadow, Forgotten Hall, and Pure Fiction.
- However, she has a high skill floor and is very dependent on player input; the auto-battle AI is suboptimal and will result in significant damage loss.
- Key Summary
- Three counter modes, ranked by damage: Intuit: Cull > Intuit: Slash > Standard Counter: Flashforge.
- Heavily reliant on her Ultimate for damage output, featuring enhanced counters + high taunt value + high frequency.
- Her powerful counters can simultaneously benefit from both Follow-up Attack buffs and Ultimate DMG buffs.
- Her Ultimate can be banked, and her rotation has no debilitating downsides, though she is still somewhat tied to Tingyun.
Therefore, Yunli requires some manual play. If you prefer auto-battle, it’s best to pair her with a sub-DPS to reduce reliance on Yunli’s personal damage output.
Skill Priority
Talent = Ultimate > Skill > Basic Attack
Yunli’s core mechanic is counterattacking, which deals blast damage and is considered a Follow-up Attack. Her Skill enhances her survivability, while her Ultimate guarantees a taunt and boosts her counter damage, creating a self-contained mechanic loop. Additionally, her “Parry” has a built-in safety net while also raising her damage ceiling.

Recommended Eidolons
- E1: Directly increases the damage of her enhanced Ultimate counters, especially providing a significant boost to ‘Cull’ damage. Further enhances the satisfaction of parrying.
- E2: Provides DEF Ignore as a new multiplier. Shows significant improvement when paired with DEF-reducing teammates (e.g., Sparkle E2). The boost is modest when used alone.
- E4: Not a crucial Eidolon. Increases Effect RES, making her less susceptible to crowd control. That’s essentially it.
- E6: Provides a substantial boost to Yunli’s damage output through increased multipliers and mechanic enhancements. ‘Cull’ triggers more frequently. Recommendation: Either stop at 0+1 or 1+1, or go all the way to 6+1.
Conclusion
The above serves as the Build Guide for Yunli. Her E0 is essentially a complete character. Her light cone compensates for the taunt mechanics. The Eidolons mainly provide multiplier increases with limited improvements. Recommended to go for 0+1 and call it a day. Are your resources ready? Ready to power up?
