Ye Shunguang
Who is Ye Shunguang?
Ye Shunguang is a Void Hunter-level Attacker from Yunkui Summit and the current wielder of the Qingming Sword. She is the younger sister of Ye Shiyuan and holds an official appointment from Mayor Mayflower. Her attribute — Honed Edge — is not a standard element and carries a unique Miasma Purification multiplier that bypasses typical resistances. Prydwen rates her debut as the single highest power level of any agent in ZZZ history: "It is difficult to overstate how universally good this character is."
