At a glance

Ye Shunguang is a Honed Edge Attack character who spends time on-field dealing damage. Her ordinary attacks deal Physical DMG, but her skills convert that damage to Honed Edge DMG during Enlightened Mind.

Her fight revolves around Qingming Sword Force. Build it outside Enlightened Mind, enter the state with a full supply or her Ultimate, then spend it on enhanced attacks before finishing the sequence.

Core Passive: Burning Clarity gives her 30% CRIT Rate and 25% DMG when she enters the battlefield. Enlightened Mind lasts 16 seconds, with its timer paused while she is off-field. It also creates Ether Veil: Verdict, which changes how her damage uses an enemy’s Stun DMG Multiplier.

Upon leaving the Enlightened Mind state, all Bearer stacks are consumed to grant the same number of Qingming Sword Force stacks.

When Ultimate: Chasing Storms or Entry Skill: Illuminating Darkness is unleashed, Ye Shunguang enters the Enlightened Mind state and activates Ether Veil: Verdict.

The effect is removed when Ether Veil: Verdict ends.

Mindscape Cinema

    Dreambound Self

    Worth it

  2. M2

    Light & Shadow

    Worth it

    Light & Shadow (M2) is an upgrade worth considering.

    The max stack count of Bearer increases to 6, and Culmination can stack up to 9 times. While in the Enlightened Mind state, each point of Qingming Sword Force consumed grants 1 stack of Culmination.

Guide

How the kit works

Outside Enlightened Mind, certain attacks slowly build Qingming Sword Force. With enough Energy, EX Special Attack: Gale Suppression (Special) also gives one point. At six points, use Entry Skill: Illuminating Darkness to enter Enlightened Mind and go airborne. Ultimate: Chasing Storms is another entry: it grants six points and puts her in the air.

In the air, use Basic Attack: Enlightened Mind - Sunderlight, then Basic Attack: Enlightened Mind - Sunderlight Annihilation. With at least two points, the falling attack becomes a larger strike. If it hits, it consumes two points and grants Culmination.

If you still have Qingming Sword Force, follow the falling attack with a hit of EX Special Attack: Enlightened Mind - Soaring Light (Special), then Basic Attack: Enlightened Mind - Sunderlight Maximum. Culmination replaces a Qingming Sword Force cost during Soaring Light with its own consumption. Maximum consumes a point on hit; with a point remaining, it can lead through another Soaring Light hit into Basic Attack: Enlightened Mind - Skyward Ascent and return her to the air.

You can also hold Soaring Light to spend the remaining points. Once they are gone, finish with EX Special Attack: Enlightened Mind - Return to Dust (Special). If you entered using Chasing Storms and consumed Decibels, use Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens instead; it costs no further Decibels. Either finisher ends Enlightened Mind and removes the veil.

Build and why

Use four pieces of White Water Ballad and two of Branch & Blade Song. White Water Ballad gives CRIT Rate while the wearer is inside an Ether Veil. As an Attack character, Ye Shunguang also gains CRIT Rate and ATK when she activates a veil. The two pieces of Branch & Blade Song add 16% CRIT DMG.

Choose CRIT DMG on disc 4, Physical DMG Bonus or Percent ATK on disc 5, and Percent ATK on disc 6. For substats, look for CRIT DMG, then CRIT Rate, then Percent ATK. Remember that her passive already grants 30% CRIT Rate. Puffer Electro is another two-piece option if you want PEN Ratio.

Cloudcleave Radiance is the first weapon choice. Its damage ignores 20% of the target’s Physical RES, and activating an Ether Veil grants DMG and CRIT DMG for 40 seconds. The Brimstone is an alternative that builds ATK stacks through Basic Attacks, Dash Attacks or Dodge Counters. Steel Cushion gives Physical DMG and increases damage when you hit an enemy from behind.

Leveling priority

Follow the game’s order: Core Passive, Basic Attack, Special Attack, Chain Attack, Assist, then Dodge. The passive defines Enlightened Mind and the veil, while Basic Attack and Special Attack contain much of the sequence you use to spend Qingming Sword Force.

For full ascension, gather 800,000 Denny, 4 Basic Attack Certification Seal, 32 Advanced Attack Certification Seal and 30 Pioneer's Certification Seal.

Maxing all skills takes 2,905,000 Denny, 25 Basic Physical Chip, 75 Advanced Physical Chip, 250 Specialized Physical Chip, 5 Hamster Cage Pass, 9 Clouded Crystalline Substance and 60 Higher Dimensional Data: Spiked Corruption Core.

Mindscapes worth it

Light & Shadow is an upgrade worth considering. It raises the Bearer limit to six, lets Culmination stack up to nine times and grants a stack for each point of Qingming Sword Force consumed during Enlightened Mind. It also makes EX Special Attack: Enlightened Mind - Soaring Light (Special) and Ultimate: Cleaving Heavens ignore 40% of the target’s DEF.

Dreambound Self gives six Qingming Sword Force upon entering the battlefield. It also adds 10% DMG to Unity and lets damage ignore 20% of the target’s DEF. In Investigation Zone mode, the entry gain can trigger once every 180 seconds.

Lantern Wish is another option to consider. With three Lantern Wish stacks, EX Special Attack: Enlightened Mind - Return to Dust (Special) is replaced by Cleaving Heavens, which consumes those stacks. The last hit of either finisher gains additional Physical DMG equal to 1,500% of ATK. Together into the Dust raises the veil’s maximum Vulnerability bonus to 200%. If you prefer new mechanics over skill levels, stopping at M2 instead of continuing for M3 or M5 is a reasonable choice.

Teams

Bring a Support or Defense character to activate Additional Ability: Shadowtrace Flight. When a squadmate activates any Ether Veil, Ye Shunguang gains three Qingming Sword Force. During Enlightened Mind, she gains three Bearer stacks instead.

Ye Shunguang gives the team an on-field damage dealer and can parry with Defensive Assist. Against enemies inside her own veil, her skill damage uses Veil Vulnerability in place of their Stun DMG Multiplier. That Vulnerability is based on the multiplier and capped at 110%.

Common mistakes

Do not spend every point before using the larger falling attack if you want Culmination. It needs at least two Qingming Sword Force when launched, and it grants the effect only on hit.

Do not hold the enhanced Special Attack by habit if you want to continue the aerial sequence. It rapidly spends your points. Check what remains before choosing between another attack and the finisher.

Do not forget the Support or Defense condition when assembling the squad. Also check your CRIT Rate when building: Unity and White Water Ballad both provide it, so CRIT DMG and ATK remain important stats to look for.
