- Basic ATK
Yukong spends a Skill Point to create two Roaring Bowstrings stacks, then uses Ultimate during those stacks to add large CRIT buffs for the carry.
How to play it
- 1Tune Yukong to act immediately before the main damage dealer.
- 2Use Skill so the carry consumes a Roaring Bowstrings stack on its attack.
- 3Cast Ultimate while Roaring Bowstrings is active, then let the carry burst before both stacks expire.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The review models both Roaring Bowstrings stacks and the exact next two ally actions. Energy and personal damage are optimized only after the carry's position in that sequence is stable.

E0 speed-tuned support build. Roaring Bowstrings can expire between ally actions, so turn order is part of the build rather than an optional optimization.
