Yunli’s Superpowers: What Makes Her Special?
Yunli is a 5-Star character, which means she’s one of the really amazing and powerful characters in Honkai Star Rail! Think of stars like a rating system – 5 stars is top-notch.
Element: Physical. This means Yunli’s attacks deal Physical damage. Imagine hitting enemies with raw power! Physical damage is great against lots of different types of enemies.
Path: The Destruction. In Honkai Star Rail, characters follow different paths, like roads to power! “Destruction” means Yunli is all about dealing damage and being tough. Characters on this path are usually strong attackers who can also handle taking hits in battle. They are like warriors who can dish it out and take it!
Role: Damage Dealer (DPS). DPS is short for “Damage Per Second.” Yunli’s main job on your team is to hurt the bad guys! She’s really good at attacking enemies, whether it’s one big boss or a group of smaller foes.
Yunli is special because she can do a bunch of cool things in battle:
Hit hard! She’s got strong attacks that deal a lot of Physical damage.
Heal herself! Yunli can actually get some health back during fights, which makes her last longer in tough battles.
Taunt enemies! Imagine Yunli being like, “Hey bad guys, attack ME!” That’s what taunting does. It makes enemies focus on attacking Yunli, which can protect her teammates.
Counter-attack! When enemies attack Yunli, sometimes she can automatically hit them back right away! It’s like saying, “Oh, you wanna hit me? Here’s a hit back!”
With all these abilities, Yunli is a really awesome character to have on your team! Let’s see how her skills work in detail.
Yunli’s Moves in Battle: Her Kit Explained!
“Kit” is just a fancy word for all of a character’s moves and abilities in battle. Let’s break down Yunli’s kit and see what she can do!
1. Basic Attack: Galespin Summersault
What it is: This is Yunli’s regular attack that you can use every turn.
What it does: Yunli does a cool move called “Galespin Summersault” (imagine a spinning, powerful attack!) that hits one enemy with Physical damage.
Damage: It deals damage equal to 50% of Yunli’s Attack power. The higher her Attack, the harder she hits!
2. Skill: Bladeborne Quake
What it is: This is a stronger attack that you can use in battle, but it costs “Skill Points.” You earn Skill Points during battle.
What it does: “Bladeborne Quake” is a powerful move that does two things at once!
Heals Yunli: She gets some health back equal to 20% of her Attack, plus a little extra healing. This helps her stay in the fight longer!
Damages Enemies: It hits one main enemy with Physical damage equal to 60% of her Attack. It also hits enemies standing next to the main enemy (adjacent enemies) for 30% of her Attack. So it can damage multiple enemies at once!
3. Ultimate: Earthbind, Etherbreak
What it is: This is Yunli’s super powerful move! You need to charge it up during battle by attacking and getting attacked. When it’s ready, you can unleash her Ultimate! It costs 120 Energy to use.
What it does: “Earthbind, Etherbreak” is a really cool and strategic ability. It gives Yunli something called “Parry.”
Parry and Taunt: When Parry is active, Yunli taunts all enemies! This means all enemies will try to attack Yunli until Parry wears off. Parry lasts until the end of the next turn of any character (ally or enemy).
Counter Boost: While Parry is active, Yunli gets a big boost to her Crit Damage (Critical Hit Damage) for her next counter-attack, making it hit much harder!
Special Counters: When Parry is active, if Yunli uses her Talent (we’ll talk about that next) to counter-attack, it becomes a special stronger counter called “Counter Intuit: Cull.” Using this special counter also removes the Parry effect.
If No Counter: If enemies don’t attack Yunli while Parry is active (maybe they use other kinds of moves), then Yunli will automatically use another powerful counter called “Counter Intuit: Slash” on a random enemy after Parry ends.
Counter Intuit: Slash & Cull: These are both super cool counter-attacks that Yunli can do. They both deal Physical damage to a main target and enemies next to them. “Counter Intuit: Cull” is even stronger because it also does extra hits of damage to random enemies! These extra hits are considered Ultimate damage!
4. Talent (Passive Ability): Flashforge
What it is: A passive ability is something that’s always working in the background, without you having to do anything!
What it does: “Flashforge” is all about counter-attacking! Whenever an enemy attacks Yunli, two cool things happen:
Energy Boost: Yunli gets 15 Energy back. This helps her charge up her Ultimate faster!
Counter Attack! Yunli immediately launches a counter-attack on the enemy who attacked her! This counter deals Physical damage to the attacker and enemies next to them. It’s like automatic revenge!
5. Technique (Overworld Ability): Posterior Precedence
What it is: A Technique is something you can use outside of battles, when you’re exploring the world.
What it does: “Posterior Precedence” gives Yunli a “Ward” effect for 20 seconds. When you enter a battle while Ward is active (either by attacking an enemy first, or if an enemy attacks you to start the battle), Yunli immediately uses “Intuit: Cull” on a random enemy! And this attack is even stronger, dealing 80% more damage than usual! This is a great way to start battles with a powerful attack!
Yunli’s kit makes her a really fun character to play. She can attack, defend, and even heal herself! Her counter-attacks and taunt ability make her unique and strong in different kinds of battles.
Making Yunli Stronger: Ascension and Trace Materials!
Just like leveling up in a game, you need special stuff to make Yunli stronger in Honkai Star Rail! There are two main ways to power her up: Ascension and Traces.
Ascension Materials: Leveling Up!
Ascension is like raising Yunli’s level cap! When Yunli fights and gains experience, she levels up. But to go beyond certain levels, you need special Ascension Materials. These materials unlock her true potential and make her stats (like health, attack, defense) even better!
Here are the materials Yunli needs for Ascension:
Artifex’s Module, Cogwheel, Gyreheart: These are common materials that you can find by defeating certain enemies or in specific locations in the game. You need different types as Yunli gets stronger. Think of them as gears and parts needed to upgrade her!
IPC Work Permit: This is a special material that’s unique to Yunli and some other characters. You’ll need to find out where to get these in the game (usually through specific challenges or enemies).
Credits: This is the regular money in Honkai Star Rail. You’ll need Credits for almost everything, including Ascension!
Here’s a table showing exactly how many of each material you need for each Ascension level:
Yunli Ascension Level | Materials Needed | Credit Cost | Reward |
Level 20 | x5 Artifex’s Module | 4,000 | x1 Regular Star Rail Pass |
Level 30 | x10 Artifex’s Module | 8,000 | None |
Level 40 | x6 Artifex’s Cogwheel, x3 IPC Work Permit | 16,000 | x1 Regular Star Rail Pass |
Level 50 | x9 Artifex’s Cogwheel, x7 IPC Work Permit | 40,000 | None |
Level 60 | x6 Artifex’s Gyreheart, x20 IPC Work Permit | 80,000 | x1 Regular Star Rail Pass |
Level 70 | x9 Artifex’s Gyreheart, x35 IPC Work Permit | 160,000 | None |
Trace Materials: Upgrading Skills!
Traces are like Yunli’s skill tree! They are her attacks, talents, and bonus abilities. To make her skills stronger and unlock new bonuses, you need Trace Materials.
For Yunli, you’ll need these main types of Trace Materials:
Artifex’s Module, Cogwheel, Gyreheart: Yes, these are also used for Traces! You’ll need even more of these to upgrade all her skills.
Borisin Teeth, Lupitoxin Sawteeth, Moon Rage Fang: These are special materials that are more specific to Yunli’s Path (Destruction) and probably her element (Physical). You’ll find these in different challenges and areas of the game.
Regret of Infinite Ochema: This is a rarer, higher-level Trace material. These are often obtained from tougher bosses or weekly challenges.
Tracks of Destiny: These are super rare and valuable materials used to fully max out the most important Trace upgrades. Think of them as the final touch to make her skills perfect!
Credits: You’ll also need a LOT of Credits to upgrade Traces!
To upgrade all of Yunli’s abilities completely, you’ll need a huge amount of these materials in total:
x8 Tracks of Destiny
x12 Regret of Infinite Ochema
x18 Borisin Teeth
x41 Artifex’s Module
x56 Artifex’s Cogwheel
x58 Artifex’s Gyreheart
x69 Lupitoxin Sawteeth
x139 Moon Rage Fang
3 Million Credits!
That’s a lot of materials! So get ready to explore, battle, and collect to make Yunli reach her full potential!
Yunli’s Eidolons: Unlocking Extra Power!
Eidolons are like bonus levels of power for your characters! When you get extra copies of Yunli from “Warping” (like opening surprise boxes in the game), you get her Eidolon. Each Eidolon level unlocks a special boost that makes her even stronger or changes how her abilities work.
Here are all of Yunli’s Eidolons and what they do:
Eidolon 1: Weathered Blade Does Not Sully (E1):
Boosts damage from “Intuit: Slash” and “Intuit: Cull” by 20%!
Increases the extra hits of damage from “Intuit: Cull” by 3! More damage, yay!
Eidolon 2: First Luster Breaks Dawn (E2):
When Yunli counter-attacks, she ignores 20% of the enemy’s Defense! This means her counter-attacks hit even harder because they cut through enemy armor better.
Eidolon 3: Mastlength Twirls Mountweight (E3):
Increases the level of her Ultimate and Basic Attack, making them stronger just by having this Eidolon!
Eidolon 4: Artisan’s Ironsong (E4):
After using “Intuit: Slash” or “Intuit: Cull,” Yunli gets a 50% boost to her Effect Resistance for one turn. Effect Resistance helps her avoid getting negative status effects from enemies, like being frozen or stunned.
Eidolon 5: Blade of Old Outlasts All (E5):
Increases the level of her Skill and Talent, making them stronger just by having this Eidolon!
Eidolon 6: Walk in Blade, Talk in Zither (E6):
This is a HUGE Eidolon upgrade! While Parry is active, if an enemy uses any ability (even if it doesn’t attack Yunli), it triggers “Intuit: Cull” and removes Parry. Plus, when Yunli uses “Intuit: Slash” or “Intuit: Cull,” her Crit Rate and Physical Resistance Penetration are increased! This makes her counter-attacks super powerful and more likely to be critical hits!
Getting Yunli’s Eidolons can make her an absolute powerhouse! Each level adds awesome bonuses to her abilities.
Conclusion…
Yunli is a fantastic Physical Destruction character in Honkai Star Rail. With her ability to deal strong damage, heal herself, taunt enemies, and counter-attack, she’s a valuable addition to any team.
