A COMPLETE Guide to Yunli ! | Best Relics, Best Build, Teams

[@guobacertified]

ANY YUNLI PULLERS (in 1 week :))?!?!?!?! NOTES: In my team graphics I put Yunli in the first slot cause it looks cool. I forgot people will interpret that sometimes as team order. You want your Yunli in the middle two slots as stated in the Aventurine section, as it will give her a higher chance to absorb blast attacks. Don't put her on the side. Sorry! Will consider that for future team graphics.

[@odte7083]

The sick obsession of these developers over a children-looking characters’ feet and legs is so annoying and alarming. They are not satisfied with thick big milkers adult females anymore, they crave for the damn children. What a shame. And don’t even start about a ‘she’s actually a 10000 year old dragon’ or some BS

I will also try for the light cone though I'm low because of Jade. If I knew of this light cone, I wouldn't have pulled for the light cone of Dan hang lunae.

[@AwefulWaffle88]

I pull for everyone, but I'm especially excited to pull for Yunli. New gameplay style that's only been available with Clara, great damage, and animations that have HEFT to them...really can't wait to try her out!

[@TsuchiGamer06]

So pumped for her because of her kit and appearance. Small girl, big sword go brrrr, is crazy fun

[@IdeasAreBulletproof]

Gonna be going for E0S1 Yunli, She looks like quite a fun Character.

[@Splinnee]

Yunli - Yukong - Tingyun have insane synergy because Yukong roaring bowstrings buff Tingyuns skill which makes her buff Yunli even harder. I think I might be able to 0cycle with Yunli - Yukong - Tingyun - March Hunt/Hanya/Pela team. Also for autobattling Yunli + Hanya + Tingyun felt EXTREMELY comfy for some reason... No one has said this anywhere but Hanya + Penacony planar set + Planetary Rendezvous goes kinda hard for F2P players with only 4* supports but yeah Yukong Tingyun was big damage combo, blew my mind.

[@johnd7760]

​@@Splinnee f2p players will use Pela, not hanya, cause speed is useless there. Only Argenti is favoured by her atm, i used her a lot back then before sparkle.. but yeah.

[@Cafinebiased]

I would love a comparison video of Clara vs Yunli since they have so much overlap.

[@soulannihilator3185]

yeah I was hoping comparisons between Clara and Yunli would be discussed on this video to help other players deciding on to pull for her or not. I personally am not too keen on pulling for her unless someone discusses on how Yunli will improve my teams despite already having Clara.

[@Moonnverse]

I LOVE YUNLI

[@guobacertified]

HI MOOOON

[@Moonnverse]

@@guobacertified HIII

[@zferolie]

I have e6 clara, so im skipping her. no point in rolling for her. I will grab her cone for clara though. I wish she was at least a different element then clara so i had at least 1 justification for pulling her, but I have nothing

[@guobacertified]

If only a diff element :(

[@auliadimas0503]

Same tbh, I'll just pull her LC instead and use it on Clara

[@vitorfrizzo2358]

I mean... A double counter team that uses both of them can be quite fun, with clara's base kit making it so she doesn't need to be hit while in her ult state and especially with her E6 making it so she needs to be hit even less, it can make for a pretty strong team especially against enemies that have a lot of blast damage or AoE attacks, In the new mode for example she can be a second dps for physical weak enemies like boss Argenti. (Yunli's lightcone is very much needed here of course) It is most certainly not the best way to use these characters, but it would still be a strong team that shouldn't fall behind much if at all to other options, given the correct scenarios. I myself will be using Clara/Yunli/Aventurine/Robin as soon as she comes out to clear both Pure Fiction and Apocalyptic Shadow :)

[@blueberrycrepes]

if you have E6 clara, yunli LC isnt that big of an improvement because you already have near 100% uptime on her ultimate. DHIL or high imposition clara LC would be better. also, yeah, its unfortunate theyre the same element. but, consider this: yunli, clara, robin, huohuo

[@GamesProject]

​@@vitorfrizzo2358Clara and Yunli actually pair very poorly by the fact that both want to get hit and Clara's Ult will basically hardly be used. Can it work, yes. But it'll remain quite bad.

[@titaochen5249]

I don't know about you guys but as a sparkle-less Jingyuan main, it's pretty clear who I will be pulling for

[@SejoAtIgnister]

Let me guess…. You’re pulling for Jiaoqui! 😂

[@27Ganon]

Robin's better for JY iirc

[@LumiereSansoku]

​@@27Ganondahell ofc not 😂😂 sparkle all the way for JY, robin is for FUA dual comps most of the time, like himeko/herta or ratio/topaz.

[@27Ganon]

@@LumiereSansoku have fun with lower DPS, Robin has been proven to be better than Sparkle most of the time even outside of follow up comps. Pretty much the only comps where Sparkle is probably better are DHIL and QQ/Seele.

Robin is better for JY if your talking Peak JY Damage, though picking up Sparkle along the way ain't a bad Idea

[@stormevoker8502]

Yunli cute, therefore she's a MUST pull. Thanks for the guide mr certified

[@lmaobox4068]

The downplay on the leaks subreddit during V4 was grueling but getting to see the switch up in V5 was a heavenly experience!

[@cymantics8249]

As a Clara main she is an easy skip but like damn if they didn't make her better in nearly every way. Feels bad.

[@gtf234]

[@mrnoobblox7315]

Instead as a Clara main you should get the LC. More counters and more crit dmg

[@drchocolatetv]

I'm getting the LC for Clara I think

[@cable.3538]

I never got clara but I was lucky enough to get Yunli and her lightcone

[@lycerisrico8943]

Just tried her in trial, her dmg seems similar with my Clara. Then I realized that she has perma-blast counter, while Clara only has 2 per burst. Yeah, this is straight up powercreep lol

[@connorhamilton5707]

Greatsword is one of my favorite weapons in Monster Hunter games, so after seeing her animations plus my fondness for counter characters in various games, I am interested in pulling for her. However, due to the mandatory manual playstyle and the fact I already have Clara, I won't be too upset if I don't get her right now.

[@sail8614]

She's baiting me too because of that GS from Monster Hunter, even if I totally don't need her

[@johnd7760]

theyre similar but she feels way different. i got lc for clara and did some pulls after so yeah, without her lc, she feels even less necessary... cba using lynx lol

[@jamesmeads6857]

Clara is my best unit currently and i cant help but feel a little sad to see Clara 2... but now limited, has a self heal, an ult insurance A2, blast counters, and more. Even stole her shoe preference.

[@netherremains]

I want to pull for her. I really REALLY do, but seeing what's on the horizon, I think I'll wait for a rerun and instead save for future patches. I'll just have to bite the bullet in not picking her up this time and instead focus in building up March instead to fill the void.

[@jeffinthehood1239]

For people who didn’t pull for every 5 star like me best 4 star team is tingyun and Hanya people seem to forget about her but she gives ult damage increases skill points and atk buff with alt mainly for the ult damage increase with skill 👍

[@yengereng9962]

im a clara stan, and if your tellin me i can have another!? count me in!

[@yeahokayokay]

Great guide as always. I think that while she does share the physical element with Clara and is a counter unit, her counters are different enough to differentiate her, and her playstyle is much more interesting. To say nothing of the fact that her potential damage is higher than Clara. I can't wait to pull her!

[@Paandaas]

I would've loved it if they made her a different element from Clara to at least give some gameplay reason to build them both.

[@SI4NA]

I love your guides SO much, thanks !

[@benoitgarin6477]

I CAN’T WAIT for her, I have saved 130+ pulls since the end of 2.2

[@guobacertified]

Good luck!

[@RaffoPhantom]

I've been a bit bummed since I couldn't get Jade (yeah I know there is still time) but honestly...now I am saving for the funny and cute counter attacker. And I will play her with Clara for absolute counter madness

[@Soul_King_Jeo]

Still think about of pulling for yunli appreciate the guide

[@Scope34]

LETS GO YUNLI MY GOAT

[@FonKard]

Oh my god... I swear, while reading ALL of her skills I was like "Dealing Physical DMG equal to 120% of Clara`s ATK... Waaaait". EVERY TIME

[@masonqin]

Lol looking at the recommended teams, those are EXACTLY the same teams I used with my Clara. Down to the sidenote of "she is thus great in all three endgame modes"😂 Nonetheless I will pull for her because she looks absolutely badass, is super cute, and I have been a Monster Hunter Greatsword main since my PSP days

[@winterwarden]

definitely pulling her and her LC, maybe even houhou as the only limited sustain I have is Bailu. been farming firefly set and saved every dps valorous piece just in case so I'm happy to hear this is her best option. thanks for the breakdown.

[@MrDeeluv1996]

Bailu is a 5-star, but she is standard not limited

[@1701Rafael]

Hi this is your logical commenter to remind Guoba looks great in the characters outfits.

[@endersreignyt8346]

Funny idea, use both Yunli and Clara to hit the enemy with 2 counters at once. XD

[@cris9485]

I really dont care about synergies, i CARE FOR SHOELESS combo. Clara and Yunli. With e6 clara Clara wanting to get hit is not an issue anymore since it can trigger on allies aswell. So their synergi is really great now!

[@leacide7514]

Thank you for the guide Guoba :D She do seem to need a lot of tools to work correctly As a non-Robin nor Huo-huo haver i'm a bit scared to invest in her But the way you put it, it's definitely an interesting playstyle !

[@zinxoid]

an actual counter in a turn based game sounds very interesting, I really want her even tho its really weird how similar to Clara she is

[@misterqqqface]

You mentioned her having some minor counter-intuitiveness with Adventurine since he wants to take hits for Blind Bet. It actually makes no difference since her follow-up will trigger his trace, so he'll get the two points either way (unless you're getting hit 4 times between adventurine turns I guess)

[@nal_mik]

if I didn’t already have a Clara I would have pulled for Yunli… love her design… well at least I can save some jades now and hope to get the lightcone early

[@RuTo94]

Happy Clara lightcone works so well with Yunli I thought it would be useless 😂

[@juniorraya1023]

Yunli my beloved ❤ Throwing everything for her

[@sofiamainetti8397]

i have e2s2 clara already, but would yunli's lightcone be better for her?

[@stalkeler]

Will be slightly for aggro, but in that case it’d be better to pull new char entirely than lc, her e0s0 outperforms Clara in every way possible than that lc boost will give

[@EurrikkeEdward]

cant wait for my Clara + Yunli + Aventurine team. Just need a harmony unit that also counter attacks now xD

[@bjornnilsson2941]

Aww I was hoping you’d have a section about how she compares to Clara, seeing her kit is nearly identical. Any idea how the damage differs between the two at a baseline, and for example if you pull Yunli’s sig for Clara? Lord knows nobody has enough Destruction lightcones lol. Firefly snagged Aeon from my Clara 😢 I thought the CC immunity and taunt had near permanent uptime, but it’s only before her 1 ult counter? She might be closer to Clara than I thought.

[@dom4257]

Yunli, Topaz, Robin and HuoHuo is a team I'll be personally using moving forward

[@Jaz-tk5vx]

Funny enough, I've been playing since launch and have never pulled a copy of Clara. Instead, I've gotten 5 copies of Gepard, 4 copies of Himeko, 4 copies of Yanqing, 3 copies of Bailu and I used my 300 guarantee to get Bronya. I lost my last 50/50 on the Firefly banner, so I'm excited to get Yunli.

[@electroneurons]

I just woke up and saw guoba uploaded 2 videos im cooked

[@charoenwat]

I love this character because she is perfectly fine at e0 and we do not see drastic gameplay change at e1 or e2 like some of the previous characters meaning it’s really free to play friendly and you’re not missing anything much at all. I wish we see more character like this in the future

[@guikki1]

but in compensation her s1 is very important, also her e1 is like a 50% damage increase

[@dhong10]

How does 4 piece physical perform? Surprised to not see it on the comparison chart since I figured it'd out perform Phys/FUA 2 piece since it's BiS on Clara

[@manamana7712]

Tldr: If you like clara playstyle but can't find her in standard, pull If you're expecting her to do well in environments clara dont, she won't. She will have *some* improvements, but not worth the cost if you already have clara. If you have clara already, consider pulling yunli's lightcone.

There's no interaction because her ultimate isn't an attack that does damage, it's just a stance change, and the Intuit: Cull and Intuit Slash attacks she does are follow up attacks that are also considered ultimate damage, not the other way around. The blessing doesn't affect them.
