How to best build Yukong in Honkai Star Rail
Pair the Helm Master with a favorable Light Cone to boost her performance. Since Yukong is a 4-star unit, she does not have a signature option. However, “Dance! Dance! Dance!”is one of her best picks from the Harmony section. The passive triggers allies’ Action Forward by 16% after the wearer launches their Ultimate.
Regarding Yukong’s Relic, use the 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor, as it increases her Break Effect and regenerates energy. She can optimally use the passive as her Talent enhances her Toughness-reducing DMG on her basic ATK, allowing her to break shields more effectively.
She will also require energy regeneration, as her Ultimate costs 130 energy points. Hence, the Sprightly Vonwacq planner ornament from Simulated Universe World 4 is her best option as it increases the energy regeneration rate.
