Who is Ye Shunguang? Kit and Playstyle Overview

Ye Shunguang is a Female Thiren (horse-inspired) from Yunkui Summit, wielder of the legendary Qingming Sword.

• Unique Ultimate: No Decibel cost, massive AoE Honed Edge DMG.
• Companion Bangboo: Sprout – Launches flying sword volleys.
• Playstyle: High-mobility DPS with transformation bursts, excelling in Ether Veil teams. Pairs with supports like Lucy for buffs.
