What’s the best Honkai Star Rail Yukong build?
Yukong is a four-star imaginary damage dealer who treads the path of the Harmony. She excels as a support, buffing damage dealers and helping them reach their full potential. Players can maximize her effectiveness through careful selection of builds and relics.
Here’s a brief overview of our best HSR Yukong build:

| Best relic set | Two pieces of Wastelander of Banditry Desert and two pieces of Musketeer of Wild Wheat |

Yukong’s best light cone is Planetary Rendezvous, and her best relic set is a mixture of two pieces of Wastelander of Banditry Desert and two pieces of Musketeer of Wild Wheat. Her best planar ornament set is Broken Keel.
When building Yukong, we recommend focusing on boosting her speed, crit, and attack. If you want her to play more of a tank role, you can also go for HP or defense. Finally, if you do equip her with Broken Keel, you should aim for at least 30% effect resistance as well.
How to use Yukong
In combat, Yukong’s skill is an extremely valuable part of her kit as it boosts your team’s attack. The attack boost is tied to Yukong’s two Roaring Bowstrings stacks, which deplete each time an ally’s turn ends. Proper use of her skills can significantly enhance your overall team performance.
Therefore, we recommend being mindful when forming your team line-up – be sure to put her before two characters that can make the most of her attack buff, such as your team’s main DPS followed by a sub-DPS or tank. This positioning will maximize damage output and maintain high effectiveness throughout the battle.
We also recommend always aiming to use Yukong’s skill and ultimate in succession, as, if the stacks from her skill are active when she uses her ultimate, she also provides a hefty crit boost to her allies. To make the most of her support capabilities, have Yukong use her skill followed by her ultimate, then unleash your DPS to deliver a powerful, boosted attack on the enemy!
Another interesting part of Yukong’s kit is her basic attack, which is enhanced every other turn, dealing significantly higher damage – especially when you upgrade its trace level to max. Her enhanced basic attack still restores a skill point, too. So getting into the swing of timing her rotations right by using her basic attack when enhanced, then using her skill and ultimate when it isn’t enhanced, can massively boost her performance.
What’s the best light cone for Yukong?
While Yukong’s signature light cone is Past and Future, her best-in-slot is actually Planetary Rendezvous – especially at superimpose level five. It has the highest personal damage and offers a consistent damage bonus when you pair her with an imaginary damage dealer.
Another great option is But the Battle Isn’t Over. Although Yukong’s ultimate doesn’t target an enemy, meaning she can’t trigger the extra skill point, the energy regeneration and damage buff for the next ally is still a fantastic boon.
Memories of the Past at superimpose level five becomes brilliant for Yukong when teamed up with an energy regeneration link rope relic, as it allows you to perform a three-turn ultimate rotation (ultimate -> skill -> basic attack -> skill). If you have none of the above available, Dance! Dance! Dance! (S1), Meshing Cogs (S5), and Chorus (S5) are all solid options.
| Planetary Rendezvous | Upon entering battle, if an ally deals the same damage type as the wearer, damage dealt increases by 12% | Standard or limited banners |
| But the Battle Isn’t Over | Increases the wearer’s energy regeneration rate by 10% and regenerates one skill point when the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally. This effect can trigger every two uses of the wearer’s ultimate. When the wearer uses their skill, the next ally taking action deals 30% more damage for one turn | Gacha or the Starlight Exchange store |
