Overview

Yukong concentrates ATK and CRIT buffs into short Roaring Bowstrings windows that require deliberate turn order.

Role

Timed amplification with supplemental Imaginary damage.

Playstyle

Place the carry's damage inside Bowstrings, then use Ultimate while the buff is active.

Why It Works

Bowstrings affects all allies, so attacks outside normal turns can use the window. Bowmaster also increases allied Imaginary damage.

Watch For

Allied turns consume the two stacks. An extra support turn or Action Advance can move the carry outside the intended window.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Check the action order before using Skill. Arrange for the intended damage dealer to act while Roaring Bowstrings remains, then use Ultimate inside that window for its CRIT buffs. Use enhanced Basic ATKs between planned windows to recover Skill Points and contribute Toughness damage. At E6, Ultimate can supply a Bowstrings stack, opening a separate burst timing option.

Key Notes

  • The turn on which Skill grants Bowstrings does not consume a stack at its end. Subsequent allied turns do.

  • Majestas restores Energy when allies act while Bowstrings is active.

  • E1 changes opening SPD and E6 changes burst access; a rotation tested at another Eidolon is not automatically identical.

  • Do not use Ultimate outside Bowstrings before E6 and expect its CRIT buffs.

  • Do not maximize SPD without checking whether the carry receives the buff.

  • Do not spend Skill Points every turn if the team cannot fund both Yukong and its carry.

Build & Investment

Light Cones

Primary

Memories of the Past

Attacks restore Energy once per turn. The cone also adds Break Effect and has higher base stats than Meshing Cogs; its Energy effect does not require Yukong to inflict Weakness Break.

Alternative

Meshing Cogs

Attacks or incoming hits restore Energy, once per turn. It is an accessible Energy option with lower base stats.

Alternative

Planetary Rendezvous

Supports allies who share Yukong's Imaginary Type. Use only when that restriction fits the team.

Relics

Primary

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Use its two-piece SPD bonus for tuning, paired with another useful two-piece set. Her enemy-targeting Ultimate cannot activate the four-piece team buff.

Alternative

Sacerdos' Relived Ordeal

Use two pieces for SPD when needed. Neither her self-targeted Skill nor her offensive Ultimate supplies its four-piece single-ally trigger.

Planars

Primary

Broken Keel

At 30% Effect RES, supplies team CRIT DMG while helping keep Yukong available for the planned window.

Alternative

Lushaka, the Sunken Seas

Energy Regeneration supports Ultimate access. Its ATK buff goes to the first slot only if Yukong is in another slot.

Main Stats

Body

  • HP%
  • AlternativeDEF%
  • AlternativeCRIT Rate

Support-first build when survival is the priority.

Alternative defensive choice.

Optional personal-damage build after survival and buff timing are secure.

Feet

  • SPD

Tune to the intended Bowstrings window; more is not automatically better.

Sphere

  • HP%
  • AlternativeDEF%
  • AlternativeImaginary DMG Boost

Support-first durability.

Alternative defensive choice.

Optional personal damage after support requirements are met.

Rope

  • Energy Regeneration Rate

For CRIT-buff access and E6 burst windows when owned.

Recommended Substats

  1. SPD
  2. HP%
  3. DEF%
  4. Effect RES

Tune SPD so the intended attacks occur before Bowstrings expires, then add HP and DEF. Effect RES helps maintain the sequence and can satisfy Broken Keel. Only invest in personal CRIT after the support role is reliable.

Eidolon Investment

E0 has the full ATK/CRIT buff package, with demanding timing. E6 is a meaningful convenience for burst windows; it should not be presented as a guaranteed or mandatory four-star pull target.

Yukong has no dedicated five-star signature. Energy cones support her Ultimate plan. But the Battle Isn't Over cannot generate its Ultimate Skill Point on her offensive Ultimate, even though its other effects may still apply.

E1

Gives all allies 10% SPD for the first two turns. Recheck the opening order rather than assuming a mid-battle tuning applies.

E2

An ally reaching full Energy grants Yukong 5 Energy, once per ally until she uses Ultimate.

E6

Ultimate immediately grants one Bowstrings stack. This enables a timed burst window without requiring Skill first, but does not remove all timing or Skill Point considerations.

Teams

Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae

Imbibitor Lunae can use her ATK, CRIT and Imaginary bonuses on enhanced Basic ATKs. Plan Bowstrings around his turn and leave enough Skill Points for both characters; E2 Action Advance changes that plan.
