{Nangong Yu Skill Priority

Nangong Yu's skill priority focuses on maximizing her Anomaly and Disorder potential. Core Skill, Basic Attack, and Special Attack are the highest priorities (5 stars) as they directly enhance her core mechanics. Chain Attack is also important (4 stars) due to its high damage output. Dodge and Assist can be left for last (3 stars) since their impact is less critical.

High priority due to massive Disorder and Abloom damage, plus the Ultimate's Daze effect.

Hold to launch a charged attack, dealing Ether DMG. Release the button at the right moment to trigger precise charging, increasing the Daze dealt by the skill by 20%. Nangong Yu can perform up to three hits. The second and third hits each must consume 50 Downbeats. After using a Chain Attack, Ultimate, or EX Special Attack, if enough Downbeats are available, hold to skip the first hit and directly perform the second and third hits, which always trigger precise charging. When Nangong Yu is the active character, Chain Attacks, Ultimates, and EX Special Attacks do not interrupt the combo count of Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact. While charging the first hit, Anti-Interrupt Level increases and DMG taken decreases by 60%. While charging the second and third hits, the character is Invulnerable. During the dash phase of the first hit, enemy attacks can be Blocked. On a successful Block, the attack is treated as a precise charging attack. Character is invulnerable during all attacks.

Nangong Yu: Dreamy Dancer

Dreams are both cheap and expensive, always just out of reach. The people on the ground call them stars. So the angel walks among the stars and lifts a sliver of fantasy from the endless galaxy... the very first rainbow light that shone upon her.

Nangong Yu: Dreamy Dancer

Nangong Yu: Rhapsody's Muse

Dancing within disordered rhythms, spinning across a stage of wild fantasia. The boundary between angel and demon tilts with the lights, dissolving within her reflection.
