Don’t worry, we have also listed down amazing alternatives! Check out the complete guide below!

Ye Shunguang’s Abilities in Zenless Zone Zero

The core of Ye Shunguang’s power lies in his ability to accumulate Frostbite stacks, leading to the powerful Freeze anomaly. He excels at controlling the pace of battle by slowing down enemies before shattering them for massive burst damage.

Burning Clarity (Core Passive): Ye Shunguang gains Qingming Sword Force through specific attacks. Entering the battlefield grants her Unity, boosting CRIT Rate and DMG. Upon using her Ultimate or Entry Skill, she enters the Enlightened Mind state and activates Ether Veil: Verdict, which replaces enemy Stun multipliers with a massive Veil Vulnerability debuff (up to 110%).
Chasing Storms / Cleaving Heavens (Ultimate Skills): Using Chasing Storms (at max Decibels) activates her Enlightened Mind and grants 6 Sword Force. While in this state, she can unleash Cleaving Heavens, a massive finishing strike, without consuming additional Decibels, dealing catastrophic Physical DMG.
Swiftedge (Basic Attack): A rapid four-hit combo. During Enlightened Mind, these slashes deal “Honed Edge” damage and serve as her primary source of dps.
Guiding Tides (Special Attack): A tactical skill that consumes a dodge charge to trigger a Perfect Dodge counter. Successful triggers launch a flying sword attack and chain directly into her basic combo.
Gale Suppression (EX Special Attack): A rushing slash that grants 1 point of Qingming Sword Force, helping her maintain her resource levels for her ultimate finishers.
