How to Play Yukong

Imaginary Harmony guide for Yukong: rotation, strengths, and investment tips for Support players.

Last updated:

Overview

Yukong is a 4★ Imaginary Harmony from Xianzhou Luofu, playing Support in most teams. Imaginary Harmony buffer who boosts ATK and CRIT Rate through Emboldened stacks.

How to Play

Yukong is a tempo piece — cast buffs before your carry moves, then stay ready to refresh them every few turns. Speed boots help you act twice before the DPS window closes.

Team Rotation

Turn 1: Yukong Skill buff → immediate swap to carry → Basic Attack or Skill with carry → Yukong Ultimate before buffs fall off. Reapply buffs every 2–3 turns.

Strengths

Yukong excels in Imaginary Harmony teams from Xianzhou Luofu. Strong team amplification that multiplies your carry's output. As a 4★, they punch above their rarity with the right investment.

Weaknesses

Yukong contributes little personal damage. If buffs expire early due to Speed mismatch, team DPS collapses.

Investment Priority

E0 Yukong clears story and Simulated Universe. For Memory of Chaos, level talents to at least 6/8/8, farm recommended relics from their build page, and hit Speed breakpoints with SPD boots. Max a 4★ Light Cone at S5 before chasing Eidolons — duplicates are cheaper and scale well.
