Ye Shunguang Best Builds, Kits, W-Engines, Explained - Zenless Zone Zero

What to know

• Ye Shunguang enters Enlightened Mind State using 6 Qingming Sword Force stacks for 16 seconds of enhanced Honed Edge damage and Veil Vulnerability (210% stun multiplier outside stun).​
• Outside this state, build Sword Force via basics, dodges, and EX Special; inside, swap grounded/airborne stances to consume stacks for maximums like Sunderite Annihilation.​​
• Best for Deadly Assault bosses like UCC (65k scores) and Priest (60k), excelling in single-target with supports like Zhao or Dialyn.​​
• Pairs with Ether Veil users (defense/support); top weapons include her signature Qingming Birdcage; prioritize CRIT Rate/DMG, ATK% discs.

Ye Shunguang brings a fresh Honed Edge element to ZZZ's Void Hunters, shredding miasma shields 50% faster while building her own anomaly for Assault and 10% Daze. You accumulate resources outside her state, then unleash stylish aerial/grounded rotations inside it—simple yet rewarding for precise players.

Ye Shunguang core kit & resource loop

You generate Sword Force by:

• Basic attacks
• Perfect dodges
• EX Special usage

At 6 stacks, you can activate Enlightened Mind State.

Enlightened Mind State explained

• Duration: 16 seconds
• Enhances Honed Edge attacks
• Unlocks stronger grounded and aerial finishers
• Applies Veil Vulnerability, letting you deal stun-scaled damage even when enemies are not stunned

Honed Edge explained

Honed Edge behaves like Physical damage but with key bonuses:

• Breaks miasma shields 50% faster
• Builds Assault anomaly
• Adds 10% Daze contribution, amplifying stun windows

Honed Edge acts like Physical but boosts miasma purification and triggers flinch on Disorder. Her three resources—Resource Points (fill to gain Sword Force), up to 6 Sword Force stacks (enter state), and 3 Bearer points (convert on exit)—drive the loop. Additional Ability grants 3 Sword Force per ally Ether Veil if you run defense/support.

Core resources

If your team contains Ether Veil users (Defense/Support class):

• Grants +3 Sword Force per Ether Veil ally
• Encourages pairing with Support or Defense characters

Best W-Engines for Ye Shunguang

If you have her signature, it’s a clear upgrade. Without it, prioritize engines that boost CRIT Rate or ATK% to smooth damage consistency.

Best Discs for Ye Shunguang

Main stat priority

• Disc 4: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
• Disc 5: ATK%
• Disc 6: ATK% or Energy Regen

Substat priority

CRIT Rate → CRIT DMG → ATK% → Energy Regen

Combat flow for Ye Shunguang

Step 1: Build Sword Force outside state

Use basic combat actions to efficiently fill your resources:

• Basic attacks (B1 → B4)
• Dash cancel after B4
• Dodge counters
• EX Special (grants 1 Sword Force)

Efficient gains:

• Perfect Special Dodge: ~0.61 Resource Points
• Dodge Counter: ~0.25 Resource Points

A fast loop looks like this:

B1 → B2 → B4 → Dash → EX Special → Dodge Counter → EX Special

Your goal is simple: reach 6 Sword Force stacks as fast as possible.

Step 2: Enter Enlightened Mind State

You can enter the state by:

• Holding Basic Attack
• Using Quick Assist / Entry Assist
• Casting Ultimate (instantly grants all 6 stacks)

While active, you gain:

• +30% CRIT Rate
• +25% overall damage
• Effective CRIT Rate close to 50% on optimized builds

Veil Vulnerability caps at a 210% stun multiplier, but external buffs push its real damage far higher.

Step 3: Execute the burst rotation

Your highest-value sequence inside the state is:

Airborne Entry → Basic Double-Strike → Special (Sunderite Annihilation)
→ EX Special (stance swap) → Maximum Attack

Key mechanics to remember:

• Sunderite Annihilation consumes 2 stacks for Culmination burst
• EX Special swaps between grounded and airborne stances
• Maximum Attacks consume 1 stack for peak damage

Repeat stance swaps until stacks expire.

Step 4: Exit and loop back

• Bearer Points convert back into Sword Force
• Spend roughly 10 seconds rebuilding stacks
• Re-enter Enlightened Mind State once you hit 6 again

Best weapons for Ye Shunguang

Top pick- Qingming Birdcage (signature weapon)

• Highest base ATK
• Scales hardest with CRIT builds
• Best-in-slot for burst windows

Strong F2P alternatives

• Starlight Engine
• Brimstone

Both maintain good uptime if you don’t have the signature.

Ye Shunguang - best teams

Hypercarry boss team (meta)

• Ye Shuanguang — Main DPS
• Zhao — Ice Defense, Ether Veil buffs
• Seed — Electric sub-DPS with off-field anomaly pressure

Alternative stun-boost variant

• Ye Shuanguang — DPS
• Dialyn — Stun amplifier with Veil synergy
• Any Ether Veil Support or Defense unit

These teams shine against single-target bosses and enemies weak to Physical or Honed Edge damage.

Performance benchmarks

• Practice ground-to-air stance swaps
• Keep Resource Points flowing outside state
• Pair with Zhao or Dialyn for maximum Veil Vulnerability
• Precision matters more than button mashing for 60k+ clears
