Yao Guang is the Physical Elation support that every Elation team is built around. Her Zone shares her Elation with the team, her Elation Skill makes enemies take 16% more DMG, her Certified Banger adds extra Elation hits to every allied attack, and her Ultimate summons a free Aha Instant while giving the whole team +20% All-Type RES PEN.

When She Decided to See BiS
5★
Signature: SPD for her and Aha's breakpoints, team-wide CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, and much better Energy, which usually lets her Ultimate come one turn earlier. A big quality-of-life upgrade, not a requirement.
SPD +18%; entering combat or using the Ultimate on an ally gives the whole team +10% CRIT Rate and +30% CRIT DMG, plus Energy each wave.
Mushy Shroomy's Adventures
4★

Recommended teams
Silver Wolf LV.999 premium
The top Elation team in Memory of Chaos: her free Aha Instants refill Silver Wolf's Hidden MMR in bursts.
Evanescia
Every Certified Banger she gains and loses feeds Evanescia, and her RES PEN and Vulnerability amplify her.
Outside Elation: Archer
Her RES PEN, Vulnerability and Skill Point generation also help non-Elation carries like Archer.
Guide
How to play
How she works
- Skill (Zone, 3 turns). All allies gain Elation equal to 20% of Yao Guang's Elation. Her Basic ATK and Skill each grant 3 Punchline, and her Basic ATK always restores 30 Energy.
- Ultimate (180 Energy). Grants 5 Punchline, then Aha immediately takes an extra turn that counts a fixed 20 Punchline without consuming yours, and all allies gain +20% All-Type RES PEN for 3 turns.
- Talent – Great Boon. While she holds Certified Banger, every allied attack triggers an extra instance of Elation DMG of the attacker's Type (two if the attack consumed a Skill Point), using Yao Guang's Elation if it's higher than the attacker's.
- Elation Skill. Applies Woe's Whisper (+16% DMG taken for 3 turns) and hits all enemies. Her A4 recovers 1 Skill Point each time, and her A6 makes her Certified Banger last 1 turn longer.
Rotation
- Use her Technique: she casts her Skill for free at the start of the fight.
- Keep her Zone up, and use Basic ATKs (SP-free, 30 Energy) whenever the Zone doesn't need refreshing.
- Save her Ultimate for your damage dealer's burst — for example right after Silver Wolf LV.999 enters Godmode — or to kick off a new wave.
Tips
- Build as much SPD as you can: from 120 SPD her A2 converts every extra point into Elation, and a faster Yao Guang also means a faster Aha.
- 160 SPD activates the full Diviner of Distant Reach bonus; 200 SPD (realistic with her signature) gives her 3 turns every 150 AV.
- She is SP-positive, which helps SP-hungry partners like Sparxie.
Strengths
- Creates extra Aha Instants that don't consume Punchline
- SP-positive, with steady Punchline generation
- Rare team buffs: All-Type RES PEN and a Vulnerability debuff
- Adds extra Elation hits to every allied attack
- Complete at E0 and cheap to build
Weaknesses
- Very expensive 180-Energy Ultimate
- Less valuable than dedicated Harmony or Nihility supports outside Elation teams
- Needs other Elation characters to unlock her full potential
