Yixuan Overview

Yixuan is an Auric Ink and Rapture agent who balances offense and defense with a stat called Sheer Force, which lets her ignore enemy defenses. Her fighting style is all about managing Adrenaline and Auric Ink Points. She builds Technique Points by using Adrenaline, then unleashes her Ultimate to summon the Qingming Bird and gain Auric Ink Points. These points let her pull off strong Auric Ink Techniques and enter the Light as Air state, which gives her quick movement, powerful area-of-effect attacks, and Adrenaline recovery.

Yixuan Best Teams

Yixuan’s Rapture specialty makes her tricky to pair with older support agents. Ju Fufu and Pan Yinhu, both from the same version, are her best teammates. If you’re not pulling for Ju Fufu, Qingyi or Trigger can work. Caesar and Astra Yao are also solid support options.
