Ye Shunguang Character Profile

Ye Shunguang is an S-Rank Attack Agent affiliated with the Yunkui Summit. She wields the Qingming Sword and plays a central role in the Void Hunter storyline.

Basic Information

• Rarity: S-Rank
• Role: Attack
• Attribute: Honed Edge (Physical Variant)
• Faction: Yunkui Summit
• Gender: Female
• Chinese Voice Actor: 陶典

She is also confirmed to be the younger sister of Ye Shiyuan, further expanding the internal lore of the Yunkui Summit faction.

Honed Edge Attribute Explained

Ye Shunguang’s element, Honed Edge, is a specialized variant of the Physical attribute. While it functions under the Physical category, it has unique interactions similar to Miyabi’s Frost (Ice variant) and Yixuan’s Auric Ink (Ether variant).

Honed Edge triggers the Assault Anomaly, an effect exclusive to Physical-based attributes, allowing Ye Shunguang to deal consistent anomaly damage alongside her burst-focused playstyle.

Ye Shunguang Kit Overview

Ye Shunguang’s gameplay revolves around state management, resource buildup, and high-impact damage windows.

Dual Forms: Normal and Qingming Form

Ye Shunguang has two combat forms:

• Normal Form: Default brown-haired state
• Qingming Form: White-haired state activated during Enlightened Mind

Entering Qingming Form significantly boosts her combat performance, unlocking stronger attacks and unique mechanics.

Enlightened Mind State Mechanics

The Enlightened Mind State is the core of Ye Shunguang’s kit.

How to Enter Enlightened Mind

Ye Shunguang must accumulate Qingming Sword Force, which can be gained through:

• Normal attacks
• Skill usage
• Activating Ether Veil with any character

Once she reaches 6 Qingming Sword Force, players can:

• Hold Basic Attack to enter Enlightened Mind
• Use her Ultimate, which immediately triggers the state

Qingming Form Advantages

While in Enlightened Mind:

• Ye Shunguang gains substantially increased damage
• Her attacks become faster and more potent
• She gains access to a special Ultimate that does not consume Decibels

Players can also manually end the state early by holding Special Attack or using her Ultimate to unleash heavy Honed Edge damage.

Ether Veil Synergy

Although she is an Attack agent, Ye Shunguang strongly benefits from Ether Veil mechanics.

While Enlightened Mind is active:

• She can activate Ether Veil herself
• Enemies affected by Ether Veil receive a special Vulnerability debuff

This debuff increases incoming damage, allowing Ye Shunguang to function as both a primary damage dealer and a powerful team damage amplifier.
