Nangong Yu turns Anomaly Mastery into Impact and uses Downbeats for charged attacks. Dance Prowess connects her Stun setup with Anomaly teams, including Polarity Disorder and Abloom payoffs.
Anomaly-focused stunner with Disorder and Abloom support.
Accumulate Downbeats, use EX or other shortcuts into the charged sequence, then spend Dance Prowess against a stunned, Anomaly-afflicted target.
Anomaly triggers restore Downbeats, initial Mastery raises Impact, and repeated Anomaly events during stun feed Vibrato's Abloom payoff.
Polarity Disorder needs both stun and an existing Anomaly. Charged hits two and three also require enough Downbeats.
Team applies Anomaly → Build Downbeats → EX into precise charged hits → Apply Misstep / stun → Spend Dance Prowess → Return to Anomaly carry
EX, Chain and Ultimate can skip the first charged hit when resources allow.
Misstep extends stun, but its extension does not stack with similar extensions.
The free post-stun EX has its own timing limit.
Aria has an explicit shared Dance Prowess interaction; it is not a generic rule for every teammate.


Low-cost EX attacks maintain stacks; coordinated appearances reduce off-field Energy uptime.

Assist Follow-Ups activate useful Daze and Anomaly support.

Allied EX attacks sustain Ether bonuses during stun; AP supports her personal contribution.

Use when the team needs more Ether buildup to sustain Disorder.


Anomaly Mastery contributes to her Impact conversion.

Press [Basic Attack] to activate: Perform up to three attacks forward, dealing Ether DMG.
Hold [Basic Attack] to launch a charged attack, dealing Ether DMG. Release the button at the right moment to trigger precise charging, increasing the Daze dealt by the skill by 20%. Nangong Yu can perform up to three hits. The second and third hits each must consume 50 Downbeats. After using a Chain Attack, Ultimate, or EX Special Attack, if enough Downbeats are available, hold [Basic Attack] to skip the first hit and directly perform the second and third hits, which always trigger precise charging. When Nangong Yu is the active character, Chain Attacks, Ultimates, and EX Special Attacks do not interrupt the combo count of Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact. While charging the first hit, Anti-Interrupt Level increases and DMG taken decreases by 60%. While charging the second and third hits, the character is Invulnerable. During the dash phase of the first hit, enemy attacks can be Blocked. On a successful Block, the attack is treated as a precise charging attack. Character is invulnerable during all attacks.
Press [Dodge] to activate: A quick dash dodge. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
Press [Basic Attack] during a dodge to activate: Deliver a quick attack forward, dealing Ether DMG.
Press [Basic Attack] during a Perfect Dodge to activate: Launch a series of attacks on the target, dealing Ether DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.

When the on-field character is about to be attacked, press [Assist] to activate: Parries the enemy's attack, dealing massive Daze. This skill excels at parrying enemy attacks and reduces the consumption of Assist Points when the character is under intense attacks. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.

Press [Special Attack] to activate: Delivers a morning star attack, dealing Ether DMG.

When a Chain Attack is triggered, select the character to activate: Launch a series of attacks forward, dealing massive Ether DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
When Decibel Rating is at Maximum, press [Ultimate] to activate: Launch multiple attacks forward, dealing massive Ether DMG. Upon activating this skill, Nangong Yu activates Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise. While Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise is active, all squad members gain an additional 50 ATK for 30s. If Nangong Yu activates Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise again, the current Ether Veil: Delusion Reprise will first deactivate. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
Nangong Yu's Anomaly Proficiency increases by 120. When Nangong Yu's initial Anomaly Mastery exceeds 110, each point of initial Anomaly Mastery above that increases her Impact by 1. When an enemy is Stunned, each time any character triggers Abloom DMG, Disorder DMG, or inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on the enemy, the enemy gains 1 stacks of Vibrato. A single enemy can have up to 4 stacks of Vibrato. If Vibrato reaches the maximum stacks and the enemy is afflicted with an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, Ice, or Wind Anomaly, or if the enemy has Vibrato and recovers from being Stunned, all Vibrato stacks will be cleared. When Vibrato is cleared, if the enemy is suffering an aforementioned Attribute Anomaly, Nangong Yu triggers an instance of Abloom DMG on the target, dealing an additional instance of Attribute Anomaly DMG equal to 720%/360%/900%/63%/90%/36% of the original Attribute Anomaly DMG. Each stack of Vibrato on the enemy increases this Abloom DMG ratio by an additional 25%. During the same Stun period, once Vibrato has been cleared, the enemy cannot gain Vibrato again. When Nangong Yu's Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact or EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love hits an enemy, her Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 35%, and her Daze dealt increases by 20%, and the whole squad's DMG dealt increases by 25% for 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. While in combat, Nangong Yu restores 3.8 Downbeats/s. When any squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, Nangong Yu restores an additional 12 Downbeats. This effect can trigger once every 6s. Nangong Yu can have up to 100 Downbeats, and starts with 30 Downbeats upon entering the battlefield.
When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same Faction: Any squad member's attack against a Stunned enemy has 30% increased Anomaly Buildup. Chain Attacks against a Stunned enemy have an additional 30% increased Anomaly Buildup. When any squad member Stuns an enemy, Nangong Yu gains 2 stacks of Dance Prowess, up to a maximum of 2 stacks, lasting 15s, repeated triggers reset the duration. With Dance Prowess, when a heavy attack from Nangong Yu's EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love, Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact, or Quick Assist: Emergency Save hits an enemy that is both Stunned and affected by an Attribute Anomaly, 1 stack of Dance Prowess is consumed to trigger the special Disorder effect Polarity Disorder against all enemies who meet the conditions. This deals DMG equal to 25% of the original Disorder DMG, and triggers the previous squad member's Quick Assist. Polarity Disorder does not clear the target's Attribute Anomaly. If the skill fails to trigger Polarity Disorder, Dance Prowess will not be consumed. When Nangong Yu has Dance Prowess, the next time she switches to the field, she will immediately perform the first charged hit of Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact, which will always trigger precise charging. When any squad member Stuns an enemy, Nangong Yu's next EX Special Attack will not consume Energy. This effect lasts 15s and can trigger once every 15s. When Nangong Yu and Aria are in the same squad, if Aria's Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch heavy attack hits an enemy that is both Stunned and affected by an Attribute Anomaly, and Nangong Yu fully participates in the attack, 1 stack of Dance Prowess will also be consumed to trigger Polarity Disorder on all enemies who meet the conditions. When the third hit of Nangong Yu's Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact or Ultimate: Meteor Shower hits an enemy, the enemy suffers Misstep. Under this effect, Stun DMG Multiplier increases by 30% and when an enemy becomes Stunned, their Stun duration increases by 3s. Before recovering from Stun, Misstep can only trigger once on the same target. The increased Stun duration cannot stack with similar effects. When an enemy with Misstep recovers from Stun, the Misstep effect ends.
When EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love or Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact hits an enemy, the enemy's All-Attribute RES decreases by 18% for 40s. Repeated triggers refresh the duration. When entering the battlefield, Nangong Yu's Downbeat is restored to the maximum. In Investigation Zone Mode, this effect can trigger once every 180s.
Each stack of Vibrato's additional Abloom DMG ratio increase from Core Passive: Prodigious Idol increases by an additional 10%. The Stun DMG Multiplier provided by Additional Ability: Angel Captain increases by an additional 30%. When the active character's Chain Attack heavy attack hits an enemy that is both Stunned and affected by an Attribute Anomaly, it triggers Polarity Disorder, dealing DMG equal to 25% of the original Disorder DMG. Each enemy can only trigger this effect once during the same Stun period.

Nangong Yu's attacks deal 50% more Daze. When the enemy is not Stunned, each time any character triggers Abloom DMG, Disorder DMG, or inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on them, the enemy gains 1 stacks of Vibrato: Modified. When hit by the heavy attack of EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love or Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact, they gain 1 stacks of Vibrato: Modified. When hit by the heavy attack of Ultimate: Meteor Shower, they gain 2 stacks of Vibrato: Modified. Vibrato: Modified can stack up to 4 times. When the enemy becomes Stunned, all Vibrato: Modified stacks are cleared. When Vibrato: Modified is cleared, if the enemy is under an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, Ice, or Wind Anomaly, Nangong Yu triggers an instance of Abloom DMG on the target, dealing an additional instance of Attribute Anomaly DMG equal to 800%/400%/1,000%/70%/100%/40% of the original Attribute Anomaly DMG. Each stack of Vibrato: Modified on the enemy increases this Abloom DMG ratio by an additional 25%. Vibrato: Modified cannot stack with Vibrato.
