Yanagi F2P Team
Free-to-play Yanagi team built around Stun and Defense allies. Anby activates Yanagi's Additional Ability; Ben applies Burn so Yanagi can trigger Disorder.
Yanagi Disorder Team
Yanagi's strongest team puts another off-element Anomaly agent beside her. Miyabi applies an anomaly that Yanagi consumes with Disorder, while each Disorder feeds Miyabi's Fallen Frost stacks.
Yanagi Mono-Electric Team
Yanagi can inflict Disorder on her own in a mono-Electric squad. Seth shields her and raises Anomaly Proficiency, while Rina offers PEN Ratio buffs to amplify damage.
character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 dodge | Lowest priority; contributes little beyond avoiding attacks, so leave for last. | |
 assist | Useful mainly for the Daze from Defensive Assist; keep at a moderate level. | |
 basic attack | Main on-field damage source, but upgrade after Special Attack and Chain Attack. | |
 special attack | Essential because EX Special Attack triggers Polarity Disorder, dealing massive extra damage. | |
 chain attack | Raises Ultimate damage, which also applies Polarity Disorder; level alongside Special Attack. | |
 core skill | Top priority; Core Skill boosts the Disorder DMG multiplier for the whole squad. |
YanagiSkills
Basic Attack
Tsukuyomi Kagura
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.
Special Attack
Ruten
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.
EX Special Attack
Gekka Ruten
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.
