Yukong
Who is Yukong?
Yukong is a 4★ Imaginary buffer following the Harmony Path. Her Skill activates Roaring Bowstrings — a strong CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG buff — but the timing is tricky because the buff only applies to the next ally who acts after her, requiring careful turn-order management. She also passively buffs Imaginary DMG via her A4 trace. Strong when executed correctly; unreliable without SPD tuning. Source: prydwen.gg.
Kit Summary
Activates Roaring Bowstrings (2 charges) — the next ally to take a turn gains a large CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG buff per charge used.
Deals Imaginary DMG to a single target; immediately grants 2 Roaring Bowstrings charges.
While Roaring Bowstrings is active, Yukong regenerates 2 Energy per ally action.
Conditional CRIT buffer for Imaginary carries; best in teams with an Imaginary DPS and reliable SPD tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure Yukong's buff reaches my DPS?
Build Yukong 1-2 SPD faster than your DPS — this ensures she acts immediately before them in the turn order, guaranteeing her Roaring Bowstrings buff is consumed by the correct ally.
Is Yukong worth using over Tingyun or Asta?
In Imaginary-carry teams with good SPD tuning, yes — her CRIT buffs are substantial. Without precise setup she is more frustrating than rewarding, and Tingyun or Asta offer easier universal value.
