In Zenless Zone Zero, Ye Shunguang is the senior martial sister hailing from Yunkui Summit. Many Proxies who have obtained her are still unfamiliar with her core combat mechanics and practical gameplay. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of Ye Shunguang's skills — let's dive in!
Core Combat Resource
Ye Shunguang's core combat resource is "Qingming Sword Force", with a maximum of 6 points. This resource can be accumulated through specific skill actions. When Qingming Sword Force exceeds its cap, each excess point automatically converts into one stack of "Bearer" while outside the Enlightened Mind state. When she exits the Enlightened Mind state, all accumulated Bearer stacks convert back into an equal amount of Qingming Sword Force, creating a unique resource cycling system.
"Illuminating Darkness”
This skill has strict activation conditions — Ye Shunguang must be outside the Enlightened Mind state with exactly 6 points of Qingming Sword Force. By holding the Basic Attack button, or by switching from on-field to off-field and quickly switching back, she triggers "Illuminating Darkness" — a high-multiplier Physical AoE damage skill.
"Enlightened Mind" State
After using her Ultimate or Entry Skill, Ye Shunguang enters the crucial "Enlightened Mind" state while simultaneously activating "Ether Veil: Verdict", which inflicts the "Veil Vulnerability" debuff on all enemies. In this state, all her attacks become Honed Edge Physical DMG.
During the Enlightened Mind state, her Basic Attacks consume 2 points of Qingming Sword Force per hit while granting the "Culmination" effect. This Culmination effect can substitute for Qingming Sword Force when casting subsequent skills, significantly improving her skill rotation fluidity.
EX Special Attack: "Soaring Light"
This skill requires holding the EX Special Attack button during the Enlightened Mind state. Ye Shunguang performs continuous high-speed slashes that consume Qingming Sword Force, dealing massive Honed Edge Physical DMG. If she already has the Culmination effect, it will be consumed first, conserving Sword Force and extending her damage window. When Qingming Sword Force reaches zero, holding EX Special Attack triggers "Return to Dust", dealing explosive Honed Edge Physical DMG to enemies in a large area.
Ultimate: "Chasing Storms"
Her Ultimate "Chasing Storms" requires her Decibel Rating to reach "Maximum" to activate. Upon casting, she immediately enters the Enlightened Mind state with Ether Veil: Verdict active, summons a sword formation dealing massive Honed Edge Physical DMG, and fully restores her Qingming Sword Force to 6 points.
Her alternate Ultimate "Cleaving Heavens" consumes her current Decibels to summon a colossal sword shadow for a powerful single strike, also dealing high Honed Edge Physical DMG.
