Yangyang: Xuanling, the serene chronicler of the shifting winds, is about to make her radiant debut. She is a compassionate guardian who flows through Solaris-3 like a gentle gale, tethering the scattered whispers of history and guiding lost souls home. Striking a sublime balance between her gentle nature and an awakening power, Yangyang possesses xuanling-resonance abilities, allowing her to condense, channel, and unleash atmospheric pressure, and even manifest physical razor-sharp currents from the world's ambient breezes.
Let’s take a look at her gameplay mechanics, skill kit, and signature weapon! A little hint—Yangyang: Xuanling has a zephyr-flow mechanic, and her gale-force awakening phase can be maintained permanently.
Yangyang:Xuanling Overview
Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Electro | Weapon: Sword
"The wind once guided me—now, I guide the wind that whispers through shadows." — Yangyang
According to leaked kit descriptions circulating on forums, Yangyang SP abandons her supportive Aero abilities for an aggressive, high-risk-high-reward Electro playstyle. She functions as a main DPS, utilizing a unique mechanic called "Azure Plume"—building up stacks through perfect dodges and skill usage to unleash devastating enhanced attacks.
