Yao Guang Best Teams

Dan Heng — Yao Guang

A Yao Guang ranged support core paired with Dan Heng DPS. Use Trailblazer (Ice) as the secondary support for True DMG; Natasha covers sustain. Yao Guang boosts units that consume Skill Points and increases Elation DMG when paired with Elation units.

Sparxie (F2P) — Yao Guang

Yao Guang-centered F2P core for Elation synergy: Sparxie is the primary Elation DPS generating Punchlines while Yao Guang and Sparkle enable SP consumption. Permansor Terrae offers SP‑friendly sustain and ATK support. Any DPS that consumes Skill Points can be used in place of Sparxie.

Archer — Yao Guang

Non‑Elation SP‑centric lineup: Archer is the recommended DPS because he consumes Skill Points for damage. Yao Guang boosts SP‑consuming DPS while Sparkle and Permansor Terrae handle SP support and sustain. Imbibitor Lunae is a strong alternate DPS if available.
