Every detail about Yukong’s leaked gameplay from Honkai Star Rail

Yukong’s recent gameplay leak has clarified that she will be an upcoming support unit from the “Harmony” Path. She possesses various buffing abilities to enhance her teammate’s combat potential. Moreover, her status as an Imaginary 4-star unit renders her indispensable since the element’s roster in Honkai Star Rail is currently scarce.

Here is a list of Yukong’s abilities at level one, showcased in the leaked gameplay footage:

  • Basic ATK: 60% of her ATK will be dealt as Imaginary DMG on an opponent.
  • Skill: On activation, she obtains two stacks of “Roaring Bowstrings” which increases every ally’s ATK by 44%. One stack gets removed every turn by an ally excluding her own.
  • Ultimate: While the “Roaring Bowstring” is active, her Ultimate increases allies’ CRIT Rate by 21% and CRIT DMG by 41%. Additionally, she deals Imaginary DMG equal to 243% of her ATK on a targeted enemy.
  • Talent: Basic ATK triggers an additional 44% of her ATK as 100% Toughness-Reducing Imaginary DMG. It will activate again in her next turn.

Unfortunately, the exact details of Yukong’s Technique have not been mentioned in her gameplay footage. However, various trusted leak sources revealed that it increases Movement Speed by 35% for 20 seconds and equips her with 2 stacks of “Roaring Bowstrings” after ambushing enemies.

Since Yukong is speculated to be a 4-star character, getting her copies in Honkai Star Rail should not be that difficult for Trailblazers. Each of her Eidolons is designed to enhance her support capabilities which will provide more benefits to her teammates during battle.

Here are Yukong’s Eidolons listed according to her gameplay leaks:

  • Increases allies’ SPD by 10% at the beginning of the battle for the next two turns.
  • When an ally’s current energy reaches its limit, she regenerates 5 energy.
  • Skill level increases by +2.
  • She deals 30% more DMG when her “Roaring Bowstrings” is active.
  • Ultimate level increases by +2.
  • Casting Ultimate provides a single stack of “Roaring Bowstrings.”

If the leaks are true, Yukong’s strong buffing abilities and Imaginary element will make her a valued pick across multiple team setups in Honkai Star Rail.
