SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Ying
Passive
Sweeping Fire
Ying is in sync with her divine weapon “Sweeping Fire.” Using skills grants her one layer of Gun Intent. Basic attacks consume all Gun Intent, activating corresponding Gun Intent skills: Resolute Intent: Ceasefire, Sharp Intent: Castle Breaker, and True Intent: Scorching Earth, while reducing the cooldown of Moonslash and Cloudchaser by 1.5 seconds. Gun Intent skills can critically strike and are affected by 15% of her attack speed.
Tips: It’s recommended to disable auto-attack when playing Ying. The three layers of Gun Intent skills correspond to short, medium, and long attack distances. Be mindful of choosing and using them flexibly, and weave Gun Intent skills into combos.
Skill 01
Moonslash
Cooldown: 9s, Cost: 45
Ying raises her spear to slash upward and then downward. The upward slash causes a 0.5-second knock-up, with each strike dealing 100/115/130/145/160/175 (+50% Physical Attack) physical damage.
Tips: This is a long-range instant control skill; aim to hit enemies whenever possible.
Skill 02
Cloudchaser
Cooldown: 10/9.6/9.2/8.8/8.4/8s, Cost: 40
Ying charges forward, gaining a maximum of 25/30/35/40/45/50% movement speed, then dashes forward with a sweeping strike at the end, dealing 80/110/140/170/200/230 (+50% Physical Attack) physical damage and an additional 160/220/280/340/400/460 (+100% Physical Attack) physical damage, along with a 30% slow for 1 second. The longer the charge time, the higher the speed boost, the farther the dash, and the greater the damage.
Tips: The longer you charge Skill 2, the further you can dash and the higher the damage. Use this as an opener when chasing down enemies.
Ultimate
Starburn
Cooldown: 40/37.5/35s, Cost: 100
Ying ignites the tip of “Sweeping Fire” and charges forward within a designated area, dealing 70/140/210 (+55% Physical Attack) physical damage and knocking up enemies. Upon reaching the maximum distance, she performs a series of four consecutive stabs, each dealing 35/70/105 (+27% Physical Attack) physical damage. While this skill is active, Ying is in an unstoppable state and takes 10/40/70% reduced damage.
Activate the second phase of the skill, Sun Roar, by swinging “Sweeping Fire” horizontally to leave a burning path for 3 seconds. The sweep deals 70/140/210 (+55% Physical Attack) physical damage, and the path deals 30 (+10% Physical Attack) magic damage every 0.2 seconds. During Starburn, Ying can use the second phase of the skill to sweep around her, interrupting the charge to deal 60 (+35% Physical Attack) physical damage and leaving a circular burning area for 3 seconds.
Tips: This ultimate can pull distant enemies back to you while providing extended control and high damage, making it easier to chain combos afterward. Aim to hit as many enemies as possible.

Best Team Synergy for Ying
Yaria
Yaria can provide initial control and some tankiness, increasing Yun Ying’s roaming success rate and survivability.
Bai Qi
Bai Qi can provide initial control and front-line tankiness, improving Yunying’s skill hit rate and helping her survive better in team fights.
Countering Ying
Mai Shiranui
Shiranui Mai’s high burst and continuous control make it easy for Yunying to be quickly killed and unable to execute her combos.
Marco Polo
Marco Polo’s agility makes it difficult for Yun Ying’s skills to land accurately.
Counterplay Tips
Pay attention to Yunying’s Spear Intent skill types and dodge her ultimate skill whenever possible. Dealing burst damage can also significantly counter Yunying.
Battle Tips for Ying
It is recommended to turn off automatic basic attacks when using Yunying. The three layers of Spear Intent skills correspond to close/mid/long-range attack distances. Be flexible in choosing and using these skills.
Use the 2nd skill to engage, then the 3rd skill to provide long-range initial control. Use the 1st skill as a control supplement, True Intent as an execution method, and Unyielding Intent and Sharp Intent as close-range combat and harassment tactics.
Recommended combos: 2-A-1-A-3-A-3-A, 2-1-A-3-3-A-2-1-A, 2-3-1-A-2-3-1-A.
