Rarity: Rank
Element: Electric
House: Hollow Special Operations Section 6
Type: Anomaly
This build will increase Yanagi's ATK when she inflicts Shock on an enemy. ATK should be prioritized over Anomaly Mastery since Yanagi already has a high Electric Anomaly Buildup.
If Yanagi is used alongside Rina or if she uses the Fusion Compiler W-Engine, PEN Ratio can be used over Electric DMG.
Anby is the only free-to-play Agent that can activate Yanagi's additional ability. Ben is used here to trigger Burn so that Yanagi can deal Disorder DMG.
Yanagi's best team is with another Anomaly agent that uses a different attribute. Use Miyabi to apply Frostburn on enemies and then use Yanagi's EX Special Attack or Ultimate to apply Disorder DMG.
Yanagi can also be used in a Mono-Electric team since she can inflict Disorder on her own. Use Seth to provide a shield for Yanagi along with an Anomaly Proficiency buff and Rina to attack and provide a PEN Ratio buff.
Yanagi's talents priority is as follows:
Skill | Priority | Explanation |
---|---|---|
core skill | Upgrade the Core Skill first as it increases the Disorder DMG dealt by Yanagi and other characters. | |
special attack | Prioritize the Special Attack as it increases the Polarity Disorder DMG. | |
chain attack | Upgrade the Chain Attack along with the Special Attack as it also increases the Polarity Disorder DMG. | |
basic attack | Upgrade the Basic Attack after the Special Attack and Chain Attack as it is used most of the time when Yanagi is on the field. | |
assist | Upgrade the Assist solely for the Defensive Assist Daze. | |
dodge | Save the Dodge for last as it does not contribute much to Yanagi's kit. |
Yanagi has two stances: Jougen and Kagen. Press to activate: Execute up to five forward slashes based on the current stance, causing Physical DMG and Electric DMG. During combat, Yanagi gains the corresponding stance buff based on her current stance: Jougen stance buff: Electric DMG increases by 10%. Anti-Interrupt Level increases during Basic Attacks. Kagen stance buff: PEN Ratio increases by 10%. Interrupt Level increases for Basic Attacks. For 8s after switching stances, Yanagi retains the bonus from the previous stance.
Press to activate: Perform a forward slash, dealing Electric DMG, and switch the current stance. Anti-Interrupt level is increased while using this skill. If activated after the 3rd, 4th, or 5th hit of a Basic Attack, it activates Swift Ruten, speeding up the slashes while switching her current stance. Block enemy attacks while Swift Ruten is active. Upon activating Swift Ruten, Yanagi can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
With enough Energy, hold to activate: Charge up power for a quick forward thrust, followed by a downward attack, dealing massive Electric DMG. Upon executing the thrust, Yanagi switches stances and enters the Shinrabanshou state, lasting 15s. For the duration of this state, when following up with a subsequent Basic Attack from the 5th hit of a Basic Attack or other skills, the combo will begin directly from the 3rd hit of the Basic Attack. If the downward attack hits an enemy suffering an Anomaly, it triggers a special Disorder effect, Polarity Disorder, dealing 15% of the original Disorder effect's DMG to the target, plus an additional {CAL:5+AvatarSkillLevel(1)*2.25,100,2}% of Yanagi's Anomaly Proficiency. Polarity Disorder will not remove the target's Anomaly. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
Press to activate: A quick dash dodge. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
Press during a dodge to activate: Slashes enemies in front, dealing Physical DMG.
Press during a Perfect Dodge to activate: Slashes enemies in front, dealing Electric DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill. After using this skill, you can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
When a Chain Attack is triggered, select the character to activate: Switch stances and unleash a powerful slash on enemies in front, dealing massive Electric DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill. After using this skill, you can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
When Decibel Rating is at Maximum, press to activate: Yanagi unleashes her potential and delivers a powerful slash to a large area of enemies in front in a very short time, followed by an additional lightning strike, dealing massive Electric DMG. When the lightning strike hits an enemy affected by an Attribute Anomaly, it triggers a special Disorder effect called Polarity Disorder. This deals DMG equal to 15% of the original Disorder effect plus an additional {CAL:5+AvatarSkillLevel(3)*2.25,100,2}% of Yanagi's Anomaly Proficiency. Polarity Disorder will not remove the target's Anomaly. Character is invulnerable while using this skill. After using this skill, Yanagi can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
When the on-field character is launched, press to activate: Slashes enemies in front, dealing Electric DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill. After using this skill, you can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
When the on-field character is about to be attacked, press to activate: Parries the enemy's attack, dealing massive Daze. Character is invulnerable while using this skill.
Press after a Defensive Assist to activate: Switch stances, and quickly deliver multiple slashes to enemies in front, dealing Electric DMG. Character is invulnerable while using this skill. After using this skill, you can immediately follow up with the 3rd hit of the current stance's Basic Attack.
When any squad member inflicts an Anomaly on an enemy, Yanagi gains 1 stack of Clarity, lasting 15s, stacking up to 3 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Upon being hit by an enemy attack, Yanagi consumes 1 stack of Clarity to gain invulnerability for 1s. When Yanagi has 1 or more stacks of Clarity, her Anomaly Proficiency increases by 80.
During her EX Special Attack, the rapid thrust's Electric Anomaly Buildup increases by 20%. Holding down the Special Attack button after a rapid thrust hits an enemy will consume 10 additional Energy to launch another thrust. If Energy is insufficient or the button is released, the attack automatically follows up with the downward attack. When the downward attack hits an enemy suffering an Anomaly and triggers Polarity Disorder, the DMG multiplier increases to 20% of the original Disorder effect. Each additional thrust increases this multiplier by 15%, up to a maximum of 2 extra thrusts.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
When Yanagi inflicts Attribute Anomaly DMG on an enemy, they suffer the Exposed effect, lasting 15s. Attacks on enemies under the Expose effect will have 16% increased PEN Ratio.
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
After a thrust attack during her EX Special Attack, the duration of the Shinrabanshou state increases to 30s. While the state is active, EX Special Attack DMG increases by 20%. The maximum number of times the additional DMG multiplier increase effect for Polarity Disorder in Outstanding Adaptability can be triggered increases to 4, and the Energy cost for the first 4 additional thrust attacks is halved.
