Light Cone
Dance at SunsetCRIT DMG, counter damage and greatly increased aggro directly raise both counter frequency and output.
When to use it : Its increased aggro is most valuable when enemies use targetable attacks; it cannot force counters from non-attacking actions.
On the Fall of an AeonThe stacking ATK and Break bonus are consistent free damage when Yunli remains on field.
This five-star cone is purchased from Herta's Store and superimposed without limited Warp pulls.
Under the Blue SkyUnder the Blue Sky supplies ATK and grants CRIT Rate after the wearer defeats an enemy.
When to use it : Use when the character can maintain the CRIT Rate buff by defeating enemies regularly.
Relics
Yunli's frequent counters maintain the set and its Ultimate bonus multiplies her strongest Cull attacks.
When to use it : Launch a follow-up before the enhanced Ultimate counter so the four-piece Ultimate bonus is active.
Two-piece Scholar Lost in Erudition plus two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a transition mix: Increases CRIT Rate by 8%. Increases ATK by 12%.
It reuses strong pieces from two sets while a complete four-piece configuration with equivalent main stats and substats is still being farmed.
Planar Ornaments
Unconditional CRIT Rate plus follow-up and Ultimate damage suits every counter window without ramp.
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves is a ranked alternative with this two-piece effect: When an ally character uses a Follow-Up ATK, the wearer gains 1 stack of "Merit," stacking up to 5 time(s). Each stack of "Merit" increases the DMG dealt by the wearer's Follow-Up ATKs by 5%. When there are 5 stacks, additionally increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 25%.
When to use it : Use in a team that launches Follow-Up ATKs often enough to build all five Merit stacks.
Team lineup
Robin amplifies off-turn attacks, Sunday advances and restores Energy, and Huohuo sustains while restoring 20% of Yunli's 240 Max Energy.
When to use it : Account for Sunday's 20% CRIT Rate and use Robin's advance outside a live Parry window so an ally turn does not consume it.

Yunli stores two Ultimate uses, taunts immediately before enemy actions and converts incoming attacks into follow-up damage.
How to play it
- 1Use Skill when healing or extra Energy is valuable; otherwise Basic to conserve Skill Points.
- 2Cast Ultimate immediately before an attacking enemy, not before an ally turn.
- 3Store the second 120-Energy charge for the next reliable enemy action instead of forcing a failed Parry.
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
Prydwen and StarGuide were cross-checked against the 4.4 kit. Yunli's ordinary counter triggers when she is attacked; Ultimate Parry taunts until the end of the next ally or enemy turn, and a successful hit produces Intuit: Cull. Her Ultimate grants 100% CRIT DMG to that next counter, while Sunday contributes 20% CRIT Rate in the listed team, so those bonuses are excluded from the sheet targets rather than silently overcapping them.
