Combat design and role
Yuming converts a standard skill press into an airborne plunge finisher and pivots into a temporary “manifest” stance that grants control immunity, sustained contact damage, and additional Electro strikes triggered by team skill usage. His passives support repeated skill damage and plunge chains, and they apply stacking Electro resistance reductions to targets. In practice, he operates as a plunge-focused DPS who also delivers meaningful team value through stance-triggered AoE follow-ups and brief skill damage buffs in specific windows.
Ability overview
| Ability | Type | What it does | Key interactions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precipitous Thunderfall | Skill | Leaps and replaces the next plunging attack with a special Electro plunge. In his stance, using this skill also grants a stacking resource. |
|
| Grimscales | Ultimate | Deals frontal Electro damage and enters Xuanjiao Manifest (stance). While active: Yuming is immune to hitstun; a spirit orbits and deals contact damage; after a teammate spends Sanity to use a skill, their next skill hit also drops an AoE Electro strike on the target. |
|
| Soaring Sky‑High | Passive | On skill damage, inflicts stacking Thunderous Onslaught that reduces the target’s Electro resistance for a short duration. |
|
Introns (character progression)
Yuming’s Intron nodes expand the plunge window, add extra AoE strikes, and deepen team buffs tied to his special plunge. Highlights:
| Intron level | Effect summary |
|---|---|
| 1 | In stance, gains an extra Reverse Scale whenever the skill is used; after using the upgraded plunge, briefly increases Yuming’s and nearby allies’ weapon attack range and skill range. |
| 2 | When Fish‑Dragon Dance triggers, two additional strikes also land near the target, prioritizing different locations. |
| 3 | Levels up Precipitous Thunderfall and Soaring Sky‑High, improving their impact. |
| 4 | Plunging attacks gain bonus damage based on a percentage of Yuming’s skill damage, up to a cap. |
| 5 | Levels up Grimscales and Soaring Sky‑High again for stronger stance uptime and debuffs. |
| 6 | Both special plunges deal extra damage per stack of the Electro resistance debuff on the target; using the upgraded plunge also restores some of the stance’s damage absorption. |
Passive upgrades and team utility
Beyond the core kit, Yuming’s upgrade track includes straightforward offensive boosts (attack and weapon crit chance) and two notable perks tied to his stance-play:
- Thunder Roars: instantly fills his Reverse Scales when entering stance, enabling immediate access to the upgraded plunge window.
- Gallop Northwestward: when slotted as a combat partner, nearby Electro teammates gain a morale increase, supporting Electro-focused squads.
Playstyle and team fit
Yuming’s loop revolves around opening Grimscales to enter Xuanjiao Manifest, cycling Precipitous Thunderfall to build Reverse Scales, then cashing out with the upgraded Starstorm Descent during a brief team skill damage buff. The stance grants crowd-control safety via hitstun immunity, while continuous team skill usage triggers recurring AoE strikes on targets. His passive Electro resistance reduction encourages Electro-centric lineups and benefits any teammate leaning on fast, repeated skills.
Because his key damage comes from plunge conversions and stance-linked AoE follow-ups, he prefers:
- Teammates who can consistently spend Sanity and land skills during his stance window.
- Compositions that exploit Electro damage uptime and resistance shredding.
- Gear and weapons that support skill damage, reliable crits, and sustained uptime between stance activations.
Yuming reads as a vertical, plunge-first Electro guardian whose kit translates airtime into AoE control and team utility. If you’re building for Huaxu content or want a stance-based Electro DPS who amplifies skill-heavy teams, he’s the character to watch once a release date is set.
