Yunli is a 5-Star Physical character of The Destruction path who debuted in Honkai: Star Rail during version 2.4.

While Yunli is featured as the boosted 5-Star character on her Earth Hurled, Ether Curled Banner in version 2.4, she will eventually return to Honkai: Star Rail at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to her.

If you want to prepare for getting her, we've detailed Yunli's Ascension materials and Trace materials so you can level her up to her full potential right away. To understand how you might play her, we've also detailed what we know about Yunli's kit and Eidolons.

Yunli's kit

Yunli is a 5-Star Physical character of The Destruction path who scales off attack and can be used in both single-target and AOE (area of effect) battles in a DPS role. She can heal herself, taunt enemies, and launch counter attacks.

Keeping in mind all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Traces, here's a summary of Yunli's kit in Honkai Star Rail:

  • Element: Physical.
  • Path: The Destruction.
  • Rarity: 5-Star.
  • Cropped splash art of Yunli from Honkai Star Rail.

  • Basic Attack: Galespin Summersault - Deals Physical damage equal to 50% of Yunli's attack to a single enemy.
  • Skill: Bladeborne Quake - Restores HP equal to 20% of Yunli's attack plus 50, and deals Physical damage equal to 60% of Yunli's attack to a single enemy target and Physical damage equal to 30% of Yunli's attack to adjacent targets.
  • Ultimate: Earthbind, Etherbreak - Yunli consumes 120 Energy to gain Parry, Taunting all enemies, which lasts until the end of the next turn of an ally or enemy unit. While Parry is active, the Crit Damage of Yunli's next Counter is increased by 60% , and when the 'Counter' Talent effect is triggered while Parry is active, it is switched to a Counter Intuit: Cull effect, and also removes the Parry effect. If no Counters are triggered while Parry is active, Yunli will immediately launch a Counter Intuit: Slash effect on a random enemy target.
    • Intuit: Slash deals physical damage to the target equal to 132% of Yunli's attack, and deals Physical damage equal to 66% of Yunli's attack to adjacent targets.
    • Intuit: Cull deals Physical damage equal to 132% of Yunli's attack to target, and 66% of her attack to adjacent targets. Then, Yunli deals an additional six instances of damage, with each instance dealing Physical damage equal to 43.2% of Yunli's attack to a random enemy. When Yunli deals damage through this ability, it is considered Ultimate damage.
  • Talent (passive ability): Flashforge - When Yunli is attacked by an enemy target, she regenerates 15 Energy and immediately launches a Counter on the attacker, dealing Physical damage equal to 60% of Yunli's attack, and Physical damage equal to 30% of her attack to adjacent targets.
  • Technique (overworld ability): Posterior Precedence - Yunli gains the Ward effect for 20 seconds. When entering combat by attacking enemies or receiving an attack, she immediately inflicts Intuit: Cull on a random enemy, increasing the attack's damage by 80%.
  • Bonus Trace 1: Fiery Wheel - After each use of 'Intuit: Slash', the next 'Intuit: Slash' will become 'Intuit: Cull'.
  • Bonus Trace 2: Demon Quell - While in the Parry state, Yunli resists Crowd Control debuffs received, and reduces damage received by 20%.
  • Bonus Trace 3: True Sunder - When using a Counter, Yunli's attack is increased by 30% for one turn.
