Release3.4

Streetward Rambler's youngest disciple is a 4-star Dendro healer. Her Skill summons Yuegui, a rabbit-shaped gadget that lobs White Jade Radishes: they deal Dendro DMG to enemies and heal whoever needs it most. She brings steady off-field Dendro and sustain in one slot, which frees up a spot in Quicken, Hyperbloom and Nilou Bloom teams.

Guide

How to play

How she works

  • Raphanus Sky Cluster (Skill, 15s CD) summons Yuegui: Throwing Mode for 10s (2 at most). It throws White Jade Radishes that explode for Dendro DMG and heal characters in the area based on her Max HP. If everyone nearby is above 70% HP, it targets enemies; otherwise it throws radishes at the ally with the lowest HP.
  • In Others' Shoes: every radish explosion gives the active character 5s of extra healing over time (0.8% of her Max HP per second).
  • Moonjade Descent (Burst, 80 Energy) puts her in Adeptal Legacy for 5s: radishes heal the whole party, up to 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode join in, and she throws radishes herself while running or jumping. The state ends as soon as she leaves the field.

Rotation

  1. E at the start of each rotation, ideally close to the enemies.
  2. Swap to your carry right away.
  3. Keep Q for when the whole team needs a quick heal: it locks her on the field.

When your team is hurt, Yuegui throws radishes at your characters instead of enemies, so her Dendro application drops. Healthy teams get the most Dendro out of her.

Strengths

  • Healer and off-field Dendro applicator in a single slot
  • Smart healing that targets the most wounded character
  • Very easy to build: HP%, Energy Recharge and a bit of EM
  • Carries Deepwood Memories so the Dendro carry can use another set

Weaknesses

  • Radishes can miss moving or airborne enemies
  • Her Dendro application drops when the team is hurt
  • Her Burst is expensive and forces her to stay on the field
  • Low personal damage
