Review

Yen Xing is a skill-dependent Striker with many good points but is very weak in certain situations. Despite the long range of her skills and game-changing ultimate skill in PVP, she is exceptionally fragile for a frontline unit and requires care to use. It is best to pair her with Awakened Na Yubin because he synergizes well with her, helping her get her ultimate quicker than the enemies’. Ultimately, Yen Xing is a very situational unit that is highly-gear dependent on a good set of gears and high levels on her, but if you take the time to practice using her, can be very strong in certain decks. For PVE, there aren’t many teams that require her, so she isn’t really worth getting.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- can dodge for days,

- huge range on her skills,

- buff removal counters a lot of units in PVP.

Cons

- she's meh in PVE because buffs aren't that big of a problem there,

- low HP/DEF makes her squishy.
