🗡️ Zenless Zone Zero: Interesting Details You Might Have Missed About Ye Shunguang

1. The "Sword Field" Visuals

Ye Shunguang’s Basic Attacks generate flying swords that remain on the field for a duration. If you repeatedly cycle only the first hit of her Basic Attack string, you can actually spawn over 20 swords simultaneously on the battlefield! It’s a visual spectacle that also interacts with her Special Attacks.

2. Map Exploration Pro-Tip: The "Turbo" Flight

By holding the Dodge button, Ye Shunguang enters a special Sword-Riding (Case-Flying) state.

• Hidden Tech: If you repeatedly tap and hold the Dodge button (rather than just holding it once), you move significantly faster.
• Efficiency: Using this "pulsing" method for map traversal is roughly 30% faster than the standard flight speed.

3. Dynamic Expressions

Pay close attention to her face! Ye Shunguang’s expressions change based on her state. In her Normal State, she appears lively and energetic. However, once she enters Sword Stance, her expression shifts to a more mature and alluring look, reflecting her lethal focus.

4. Game-Changing Mechanics: "Evil Slayer" & Vulnerability

Ye Shunguang introduces a powerful mechanic via her Core Passive. While Ether Veil: Evil Slayer is active in Sword Stance:

Enemies will be inflicted with Veil Vulnerability, and the standard Stun DMG Multiplier becomes ineffective. If the enemy is not Stunned, the Veil Vulnerability multiplier equals the enemy's initial Stun DMG Multiplier. This multiplier can reach up to 80%, allowing her to deal massive damage even when the enemy isn't incapacitated.

5. Optimizing [Sky Force] Accumulation (Normal State)

In her Normal State, the goal is to stack [Sky Force] to trigger her transformation.

• Special Attack Parry: Try to trigger dodges using her Special Attack. A successful "Special-Triggered Dodge" unleashes a Sword Aura that grants 0.6 stacks of [Sky Force]. Compare this to a standard Dodge Counter, which only grants 0.25 stacks.
• Optimal Rotation: After a Special-Triggered Dodge, you can chain directly into the 2nd hit of her Basic Attack. A full sequence here can recover roughly 1.4 stacks of [Sky Force].

Resource Breakdown:

• Normal Basic Attack String: ~1 stack.
• EX Special Attack: 1 stack.
• Ultimate: 6 stacks.
• Teammate Ether Veil: 3 stacks.
• Overflow: You can store up to 3 overflow stacks of [Sky Force] for future use.

6. Fun vs. Meta: Continuous Sword Aura

Holding the Basic Attack button lets her unleash continuous Sword Aura slashes (Basic Attack: Sword Aura) while consuming [Sword Will]. While this looks incredibly cool, it is actually less efficient for DPS and [Sky Force] accumulation compared to tapping through her standard combos.

7. Three Ways to Transform (Entering Sword Stance)

There are three ways to activate [Sword Stance] and gain [Sword Will]:

1. Auto-Entry: Upon reaching 6 stacks of [Sky Force], switching to Ye Shunguang triggers her Entry Skill, activating [Sword Stance] and granting 4 points of [Sword Will]. Priority Note: If an enemy attacks with a Yellow Flash, switching her in triggers a Defensive Assist first. If it's a Red Flash, she triggers her Entry Skill instead of a Dodge Counter.
2. Manual Entry: At 6 stacks of [Sky Force], hold Basic Attack to manually trigger the Entry Skill. Finisher: In both methods above, the Ultimate button is replaced by a powerful Finisher (approx. 2300% multiplier).
3. Ultimate Entry: Using her Ultimate (via Decibel Rating) grants 4 points of [Sword Will] and transforms her immediately. The "Super" Finisher: If transformed via Ultimate, the button becomes Ultimate: Sword Stance, boasting a massive 6100%+ multiplier. (Note: If the Ultimate is triggered via specific teammate talents like Liuyin's, you may only have access to the 2300% multiplier Finisher).

8. The Queen of I-Frames

In Sword Stance, almost every move (except for the 3-hit ground basic string) grants Invulnerability. You can effectively ignore enemy attacks and take zero damage while executing your full combo. This makes her the character with the most I-frames in the game currently.

9. High-Level Combo Theory (Sword Stance)

In Sword Stance, you consume [Sword Will] to power up her skills.

• The "Nuke" Plunge: Her Basic Attack: Sword Stance - Heaven Style Third Form is a plunging attack. By consuming 1 point of [Sword Will], the multiplier can be boosted up to 1700%.
• The Chain: Pressing the Special Attack key in mid-air skips the first two hits, going straight to the Plunge. Once on the ground, follow up with a Basic Attack for a Special Slash (1200% multiplier, also consumes 1 point of [Sword Will]).
• Optimal Flow: Use the Special Attack key (Special Attack: Sword Stance - UP) to launch back into the air and repeat until your [Sword Will] is depleted.

10. Aesthetics & Signature W-Engine

• Void Hunter Perks: Like other Void Hunters, she features four distinct idle animations in her character profile.
• Lone Light in the Clouds: Her Signature W-Engine adds a sleek glow effect to her weapon ribbons and sword case.
• Premium Effects: When equipped with her alternate outfit, the visual effects are further enhanced, including a unique glowing effect on her character model (most notably on her thigh).
