Ye Shunguang DPS Build
DPS build that prioritizes CRIT DMG while maintaining sufficient CRIT Rate. Uses Cloudcleave Radiance as the best W-Engine and the 4-piece White Water Ballad + 2-piece Branch and Blade Song Drive Disc combination. Ye Shunguang has innate CRIT Rate from her Drive Disc and core skill, so you can stack CRIT DMG.

{Ye Shunguang Best Teams and Bangboo
Ye Shunguang F2P Team
Ye Shunguang paired with Anby and Nicole for a budget-friendly Stun + DPS setup.
Anby provides Daze and Shock to enable Ye Shunguang's damage, while Nicole lowers enemy DEF and groups foes.
Ye Shunguang Premium Team
Premium team focusing on maximizing Ye Shunguang's damage using Dialyn and Sunna buffs.
Dialyn can grant a free Ultimate for Ye Shunguang to capitalize on; Sunna's Ether Veil gives extra Qingming Sword Force and Bearer stacks.
{Ye Shunguang Skill Priority
Priority Summary: Focus on Core Skill, Basic Attack, and Chain Attack first (all ★★★★★). These three provide the most critical damage and utility. Special Attack (★★★★☆) is also very important for her rotation. Dodge and Assist (★★★☆☆) can be left for last, as they offer only minor bonuses.
Tip: Always upgrade Core Skill whenever possible—it’s the key to her Enlightened Mind state and huge CRIT/DMG boosts.
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 core skill | Max this first. It grants the Unity buff, which provides CRIT Rate and DMG bonuses. All her core damage and mechanics (Enlightened Mind, Ether Veil, Bearer stacks) depend on this skill. | |
 basic attack | You'll use Basic Attacks constantly both in and out of Enlightened Mind state. Level it up as soon as possible to maximize damage and unlock enhanced moves like Skyward Ascent and Sunderlight. | |
 chain attack | High priority, mainly because the Ultimate (Chasing Storms) is tied to Chain Attack upgrades. The Ultimate activates Enlightened Mind and provides massive AoE damage. Level this alongside Core and Basic. | |
 special attack | Very important—upgrade whenever you can. Special Attacks (EX Special Attack, Enlightened Mind variants) are key for generating Qingming Sword Force, triggering blocks, and dealing burst damage. | |
 dodge | Prioritize last. Dodge only adds a bit of bonus damage (Dodge Counter) and has limited impact on her core gameplay. Upgrade only after everything else is leveled. | |
 assist | Save for later. Assist skills (Quick Assist, Defensive Assist, etc.) are mostly for team utility and deal minor damage. They are not essential for Ye Shunguang’s personal output. |
