YUKONG FULL GUIDE: How to Play, Best Relic & Light Cone Builds, Teams | Honkai: Star Rail 1.1

Might be interesting to note that if characters have the exact same speed, then the leftmost character in the party takes the turn.

[@Cloudfencer]

Is that leftmost when looking at the party from the front, or looking from their point of view?

[@crappiefisher1331]

thank you so very much for that info.. i ran into exact that issue.. had 3 chars at 134 and yukong always went first and hence she wasnt buffing my slow ass daniel.. i was already wondering if i can somehow influence who goes first when multiple chars have the same speed... this helps so much and will be a lot easier than trying to hunt for speed stats to adjust the speeds of my chars...

[@CayliKo]

Actually, it's almost impossible to have the same speed with characters, because speed has decimal points.

[@ike4nole753]

I like how her buffs do not scale off of attack unlike Tingyun.

[@tako1257]

Very good for secondary teams in MoC because you dont have to ascend her that high, she just needs to not die in 1 hit.

[@Kxryu696]

I mainly use Yukong for her roaring bowstrings to help boost up my Yanqing. At first it was a hard decision for me to build her to go first but eventually I found that going first is rather the same as going last. All you have to do is just start off with a basic, skill, basic, basic, next rotation, skill, skill, basic, basic, thats how it has always worked for my team which consists of Yanqing, yukong, Natasha (Preferably either Loucha or bailu but Nat is still good) and Gepard.

[@keneunaegbu851]

Sounds like overkill, especially if you're not running a sub dps since Yanqing gives himself so much crit value already. I don't see why you wouldn't use Ting if you have her she gives Yanqing everything he wants

[@oliviaaargh]

Isn't Nat Gepard unnecessary? Idk, Gepard alone has always felt like enough defensive for me

[@harisaputra439]

I'm quite proud of myself after completely understand how her overall kit works just after an hour testing.

[@marley7659]

interesting. Yukong doesn’t need scaling. Just a tank/ER build. So she can survive the extra attacks. Her skills are set buffs and not scaling on her stats.

[@MrWiseStranger]

For just buffs - yeah. But she has 6 damage and 2 attack traces which makes her damage potential quite good

[@alicemitch09]

i was bummed that i never got tingyun, bc i heard she’s amazing. i want bronya, too. but man yukong really made me forget about those two. she’s amazing as a unit and has been saving beat some ass since i got her. i got around to understanding her, but this video definitely made me understand her more. thanks, sevy!

[@KindaMad958]

I think her downtime can be summarized by saying: 'her buff loses a stack whenever it becomes another characters turn'

[@tysonvienneau1830]

I decided to build her when I decided to do one draw on Luocha's banner (I got Bailu ironically) and she is the definition of high skill floor and ceiling. Fine tuning her stats to match up with her team is tricky, but once you get that balance she can be the backbone to your team's DPS

Thank you Sevy, this guide will be very helpful in 84 years after I gather all the materials since it takes forever to farm in HSR😂😢

[@Rieneger]

Having Yukong with full Eidolons is a godsend. I never really messed with team comp before. I just made it work. But now, when the stars align and I got multiple ults ready to synergize off each other, I can buff at will.

[@Ruined_Poro]

Yukong is one of the most fun units for me. I like her a lot.

[@venn2001ad]

Man, I really wanted to build my E1 Yukong, because of her DEM KILLER LEGZ, plus Clara's counterattack doesn't consume the Bowstring charges. However, I personally don't like the idea of needing to meticulously tune a character to fit them into a certain rotation, because it just sounds like a too much work. There are already too many things to work on already, as is. I'm just gonna have to think more about this, but until I make a decision I think I'll just keep her in the reserve for now... lol.

[@Maidenless007]

I feel the same way, but hopefully that will be less and less of a concern as we accumulate more and more materials. It's rough right now from being short on literally everything 😅

[@Yoru-desu13]

For speed, you can also have her 1 spd slower than your healer. This way her buff will always go towards your other 2 units (dps).

[@shenkura3069]

Amazing guide! I cannot wait to use her with Dan Heng IL, seems like a monster combo off her trace buff alone

[@kenken-tk5nr]

She's a great damage dealer too! I'm trying her out for some time now and her basic atk can deal good enough damage when you kinda messed up your rotation or if your team mates are down

[@Kingbuilder27]

In my time of need, my hero has arrived. I was needin a Yukong guide I can trust thank you Sevy for this but also for bein amazin as per usual 😢❤

[@TheUmbranGeek]

I do hope they'll improve the ai for auto battling at some point because Yukong, among other units, do some dumb stuff while it's on. For example, healers waiting too long to use their abilities, Bronya using the only SP left to advance a character's turn, leaving them no SP to actually do anything, Tingyun applying her buff to allies after using it on the dps I know that with the exception of healers, units simply use their ults immediately when they get them, but it would be nice if like they made it so Yukong will only use her ult if she has stacks

[@deborarosa9080]

Man, how much work you had to put on this video! Thanks!

[@Oldzcule]

this is exactly the mechanic i was looking for. you have to think a bit more and make preparations to get a good result. of course she is good looking as well ;D

[@baconbankai]

I haven't played her yet but I like the idea of actively thinking about turn order and speed and planning accordingly for a big reward. Adds an extra layer of depth in combat and sure you can get screwed over by CC but as long as its a big boost I don't think things going not as planned occasionally is that big a deal.

[@keneunaegbu851]

Let me be the first to tell you, its just straight up a con

[@Spicykabis]

Your voice is very soothing sevy, your guides are easy to understand and nicely detailed. Keep up the good work!

[@Etherwinter]

I managed to get Yukong and Luocha under 50 pulls. Then I got Clara from the standard wish from the tickets I got from leveling Yukong and Luocha. A couple days before this, I got Clara's light cone. I think the game is telling me something but I'm not sure what.

[@Candytime9]

I got Clara on standard a few days before getting Luocha and Yukong. If you ever find out what the game is trying to tell you, let me know.

[@patman_for_sure]

Yukons first Then Clara second. Then other units should be much slower so that the enemies hit Clara within the buff time, ensuring that Clara counters a lot

[@adriangerardlopez9801]

I've been waiting for this guide. I really want to utilize Yukong so I can free up Tingyun in another team. I don't have my Asta built yet so I want to maximize her.

[@GoneColoring]

Love these videos I finally had to turn on the notification bell since I already watch these all

[@guobacertified]

COGGERS (great guide)

[@TheOpenForum]

She is excellent with jing yuan and clara since they are both slow as christmas. They can wear attack boots and as long as yukong is faster than max lightning lord (131) she can buff LL, clara counters, jing yuan, and clara herself. last unit has to be a healer thats faster than yukong

[@TacticalDimples]

You don’t want your JY to be slow though. His optimal speed is 134 m. Anything lower and you get inconsistent LL stacks since you want to maintain at 8-10 for optimal performance.

[@keneunaegbu851]

She works atrociously with Jing for me. His lightning Lord barely gets the buff half the time and his skill isn't exactly the best thing to be buffing

[@TheOpenForum]

@@TacticalDimples see here is the thing, id take a LL with 8 stacks consistently with a max crit rate and 250% crit damage over a max LL that misses 30% of his crits any day of the week. Its not like you don't get a ten stack at the beginning but for long drawn out fights it averages better. Now if you run JY with bronya then all bets are off she is better. an 8 stack LL is only 110 speed, you can beat him without using speed boots thats the beauty of it. and the crit rate buff makes up for it. Not to mention clara is now buffed too!

[@TheOpenForum]

@@keneunaegbu851 right thats because it depends on who you role with. If you use bronya then all bets are off she is better. But the harmonies don't really like to run with each other. However if you have jingyuan clara then its perfect. See clara only has 90 speed. Jingyuan no boots can get to 111 speed from gear alone. this is faster than a 110 speed LL at 8 stacks. Thats what makes this work. its when you run people with advance forwards and speed boosts in their kits that mess everything up.

[@orbitin3502]

I think slow yukong is also really good for conditional dps characters (yanqing soulsteel sync, serval shock to proc talent, and maybe himeko follow up) because there’s better buff efficiency(?), meaning that the dps dont need to set up when they get the roaring bowstring stacks so another point to consider (albeit highly specific)

[@EuSciLd]

FInally, im itching too build her not touching traces coz ur guide help me build my YQ Geppie and Asta and theyre perfoming great in my plays. Thank You,

[@Xeus86]

I have no idea how I ended up running such good gear for her with crit rate crit damage . With her roaring bowstrings she hits …HARD

[@mikehat7652]

I love Yukong, having her on a team w Tingyun to buff Welt feels awesome to play, plus I collect all the monster/kemonomimi characters in genshin so I have to get every Foxian I can lol

[@tsyganko]

I will definitely want to put her with Imbibitor Lunae whenever he comes out, but right now, she had slotted in perfectly into my Yanqing team (Gepard, Yukong, Tingyun, Yanqing). It has a pretty good skill point balance, even if I sometimes feel like the second stack of her buff is wasted on a support (though if the fight lasts long enough, she actually starts to benefit from her own buff and her damage is so good)

[@avej99]

I was honestly more excited for her than Luocha. My asta and tingyun are overworked and need a break

[@sabotagge9155]

I got her E6 and Welt losing my 50/50 pulling for Luocha (83 pitty). I also have S4 Planetary Rendezvous LC. So the game decided my next pull and team for me, Mono Imaginary. I hope its good. Also Foxian beauty.

[@Shironen2011]

Thank you for this. I thought the eidolon 2 was the other way around (that she got energy from the others being full once per her own ult cycle).

having played for some time now i have found my self swapping yukong in place with my tingyun, especially with learning all her utilities.

[@Kidbthumbs]

i do build her with attack still since she is still a good damage dealer

[@andrewmattar4178]

She's a feisty little fox. I wished on the Luocha banner once just for the hope to get her. I got Tingyun E4 instead. Not bad... But... She's messing with me.

[@Acemont]

Yukong is THE definition of "why am I NOT a 5-star exactly?". Between Atk buff, that doesn't rely of her own attack (looking at Asta), HUGE Crit buff, that doen't rely on her own crit (looking at Bronya), and a quite chunky Ult - she is AMAZING. Does requite a fine Speed tuning of your team though. -_-

[@KamelYellow]

The speed tuning required to make her work is enough of a reason for her to be 4-star. It takes way more work than you think. So many units change their speed throughout the battles that you won't always be landing her rotation perfectly, not to mention how much energy she needs. I'm saying all this as someone who uses her all the time and raised her right after getting her. Sher's just reeeally gimmicky. I can see her being insane in imaginary comps though

[@Gufnorkian]

You either have to spend tons of SP or have a terrible buff uptime with her, her ult cost is crazy high and the speed tuning is super fiddly and will be ruined by unavoidable things like freeze, entanglement etc. She's definitely NOT worthy of being a five star. That said she has a lot of potential for specific team comps, but she's not a challenger for Tingyun right now.

[@KamelYellow]

@@Sambroke you're the one crying here buddy, I just explained why she's a 4-star. You're coping out of your mind

Been using her in (an almost) mono imaginary team. Luocha, Silver Wolf and IL round out the team and collectively they brute force anything they face together 👍🏻 Pela makes an excellent alternative to SW, as if I get Fu Xuan this time around (🤞🏻), she will be joining my double quantum/lightning team. Had been running Yukong with the musketeer set, but noticed a rise in her damage with the banditry set instead. Though that is due to team composition (enemies are either imprissoned or defeated 😆)

[@astoldb]

i dont have any resources to build her now but now im wondering whom i can pair her up with since ive build my current dps-es to be speedy since i often use them with bronya xD maybe minimizing her speed will help me out. Thanks for the video sevy!

[@ShadowCatGambit]

Yukongs ultimate does insane damage on the toughness bar.

[@yUNS-]

My setup with her is Seele, Bronya(Obviously), Yukong, and Otto, with Seele the fastest, followed by Yukong, then Bronya. The way I do it, I activate either Seele's tech or Yukong's (Depending on whether my Seele can kill an enemy on her second turn or not, usually I use Yukong's) I then have her normal atk one weaker mob to lower its HP to guarantee it will die next time she takes her turn so she could trigger her talent As for Yukong's turn, I have her use E then ULT And same as Yukong's, I use Bronya's E to boost Seele's turn up and have her use her ULT For Seele I secure the kill with normal atk, after all, with those buffs in her a normal atk should be enough to finish it, use her skill, ULT, then skill to finish it up. All that leaves me with one SP leftover with that I could trigger the same cycle though without ult

[@Daniel-dz2pj]

Yeah it's BRUTAL trying to speed tune with Seele hitting like 165-170 with her buffs

Alright then. I'll be back on this video when I start building her after 10 years. Farming materials is a pain🌚

[@GlamazonJay]

I like her kit but her utility is not good. “Fine tuning your team” speed is not at easy seeing as that speed is a stat that’s not guaranteed to roll into or as you mention the players have built in speed mechanics that goes against the synergy. Which make Yukong only good in teams you have the ability to tune instead of all teams. The problem with the Honkai creator guides if that most of y’all advice has placed an overemphasis on speed for more turns per cycle and so that the shielders and tanks can buff and protect that a lot of people will find that the next two people who act after she activate roaring bowstrings is a shielder or harmony character. So now “speed tuning” is just advice telling people to dial back the speed that was initially recommended
