Yao Guang is a 5★ Physical character on the Path of Elation. As an Elation unit she focuses on high Physical damage output in a carry role.

How to Play

Run Yao Guang with a Harmony amplifier and a sustain, building crit and Physical damage. See her tier on the HSR tier list.

Best Build

Light Cones: When She Decided to See (signature, SPD plus Energy Regen and CRIT on Ultimate), or a SPD/energy-oriented Harmony cone. Relic Set: Diviner of Distant Reach (4pc) for the Elation buff; needs 160+ SPD to fully activate. Planar Ornament: Lushaka, the Sunken Seas (Energy Regen plus DPS ATK buff). Main Stats: Body CRIT Rate/DMG / Feet SPD / Sphere Physical DMG / Rope Energy Regen. Substats: SPD (top priority, 160+), CRIT Rate (toward 100%), CRIT DMG (~90%), ATK%.

Best Teams

  1. Elation support core: Yao Guang + Silver Wolf LV.999 or Sparxie (Elation DPS) + a flex support + Huohuo for sustain.
  2. SP-consumer enabler: supports Skill-Point-hungry DPS like Archer who benefit from her free Elation Skill.

Kit Overview

  • Skill: Single-target Physical Elation hit that generates Punchline and builds her Zone value.
  • Ultimate: Deploys her Zone to amplify team Elation DMG and hands the DPS a free Elation Skill / Aha trigger.
  • Talent/Role: Elation support and Punchline generator; SPD-scaling buffer for Elation hypercarries.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Core Elation buffer with strong Punchline generation; SPD-scaling so she also brings personal damage; enables a DPS' burst. Cons: Value is locked to Elation/SP-consumer teams; very SPD-hungry to hit her breakpoints.
