Why you should pull for Yao Guang in Honkai Star Rail 4.0v?

Yao Guang is an upcoming 5-star unit who might be a must-pull as the premium support unit for the Elation meta. With her kit, she can provide massive buffs for her allies while dealing explosive DMG herself. Her kit allows her to deploy a Zone, inside which she can buff her allies' Elation stats massively, generating Punchline stacks, and apply vulnerability on the nearby targets.

Finally, comes her Ult, which can grant team-wide ALL-Type RES-PEN buff and more. The most crucial part of her kit is her “Talent,” which lets every ally deal Elation DMG to the nearby foes. With such a talent pool, she is expected to be a heavy hitter for the Elation meta. While you decide on which team to run with Yao Guang when she arrives, how about you check out the latest coverage on Honkai Star Rail?
