As the new journey in Honkai: Star Rail continues and the Penacony arc concludes, players return to the Luofu, where they will encounter both familiar and new characters. One of the first characters introduced in this arc is Yunli, a Physical Destruction unit. Yunli stands out as the first limited unit in this category, with previous options only including Clara and the Physical Trailblazer. Similar to Clara, Yunli can launch follow-up counterattacks and heal herself, but she is primarily an Ultimate-focused character who benefits from using her Ultimate as frequently as possible.
All The Abundance Characters in Honkai: Star Rail Ranked
A healer is always crucial to have in any combat-based game, including Honkai: Star Rail. Once players start coming across more intimidating opponents, they will find that having a healer is necessary to survive enemies’ deadly hits!
Interestingly, Yunli's Ultimate has a unique mechanic: while it technically costs 240 Energy, it functions as if it costs 120, allowing her to avoid overcapping on Energy regeneration and enabling her to launch it twice if fully charged. This is different from characters like Argenti, who gain a damage boost from an enhanced Ultimate and need to wait for a full cap. Here’s how players can best build Yunli to maximize her strengths.

Best Yunli Relics In Honkai: Star Rail
Considering that much of Yunli's damage comes from her Ultimate in the right setup, and her ability to utilize follow-up attacks, the best relic set for her is T he Wind-Soaring Valorous. This set provides essential stats like additional ATK and Crit Rate while also boosting Ultimate DMG, making it ideal for maximizing her output. However, this relic set is relatively niche. If players haven't been farming it alongside the artifact set for Firefly, known as Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge, they might opt for The Ashblazing Grand Duke instead. This set is particularly good if the focus is on enhancing her follow-up attack damage. For those without strong options from these sets, combining The Ashblazing Grand Duke and Champion of Streetwise Boxing can also be effective. In theory, however, a 4-piece Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters set could outperform the mixed sets if players can consistently apply three debuffs to enemies. Yunli can apply one of these debuffs herself with her taunt, making this setup highly team-dependent compared to the other two sets.
Honkai: Star Rail - How to Use Eerie Building Blocks
Have you earned yourself some Eerie Building Blocks in Honkai: Star Rail, but unsure what to do with them? This guide will answer all your questions.
For planar ornaments, Yunli has two strong options: Inert Salsotto, which straightforwardly increases both her follow-up attack and Ultimate DMG, and Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves, which also works well, especially if paired with characters capable of follow-up attacks. The choice between these sets should be based on sub-stats and team composition, as they perform similarly.
When selecting main stats, players should generally prioritize Crit Rate over Crit DMG for the Body piece unless they've been fortunate with sub-stats, as both Yunli's signature light cone and self-buffs already provide Crit DMG, despite her ascension traces offering Crit Rate. For the Feet, an ATK main stat is recommended over Speed, as Yunli does not benefit as much from speed increases due to the lesser contribution of her Basic ATK or Skill to overall damage. The best choice for Planar Sphere and Link Rope depends on team composition. Generally, Physical DMG and ATK are comparable unless Yunli lacks sufficient ATK stat or team members who can provide ATK buffs, such as Robin. For the Link Rope, ATK or Energy Regeneration Rate (ERR) should be chosen based on team dynamics; if characters like Tingyun or Huohuo are present, ERR may not be necessary, making ATK the preferable choice, which also supports the argument for prioritizing Physical DMG over ATK in the Sphere. Sub-stat priorities include Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and ATK, aligning with typical DPS character builds.
Best Yunli Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail
Yunli's best-in-slot light cone is her signature light cone, Dance at Sunset, which offers significantly more damage output compared to other options. This light cone is particularly strong due to its ability to enhance Crit Values and provide additional benefits when Yunli is attacked, triggering her counterattacks more frequently and increasing the damage of follow-up attacks. As such, using Dance at Sunset makes focusing on her follow-up attack and placing her in a follow-up oriented team more effective than focusing solely on her Ultimate.
The two best alternatives, though still limited light cone options, are The Unreachable Side and Brighter than the Sun. Both of these Light Cones serve as excellent stat sticks for Crit Values, enhancing Yunli's damage potential. However, they lack the specific synergy with Yunli's kit that Dance at Sunset provides.
For more free-to-play friendly options, players can consider Clara's light cone, Something Irreplaceable, if they have previously obtained it. Another entirely F2P option is On the Fall of an Aeon at max superimposition, which can be a solid alternative, offering reliable damage boosts, though not as specialized as Yunli's signature Light Cone.
