Should You Pull Yunli In Honkai Star Rail 2.4
Jul. 31, 2024Honkai Star Rail is currently a few days away from the release of version 2.4 featuring Yunli and Huohuo in the banners. Yunli is a counterattack-focused character who can act as a tank and a DPS. Her kit is very similar to Clara’s, so many players are likely wondering whether they should pull for Yunli or not. If you are unsure of whether to pull for Yunli or not in Honkai Star Rail, here is a complete analysis of her pros and cons.
Honkai Star Rail Yunli Kit
Yunli is a mix of tank and DPSand her kit is focused on counterattacks. She specializes in Follow-up attacks, which deal Blast damage to enemies after they hit Yunli. Check out ourbest Yunli buildto build her to maximum potential.

Yunli’s main damage source comes from her Ultimate, which sends her into the Parry state while taunting all the enemies. When she is hit by an enemy while in the Parry state, she counterattacks with her Follow-up attacks that additionally do 6 instances of Physical damage on a random enemy. If no enemy attacks her in this state,she immediately executes her normal Follow-up attackon a random enemy, without the extra damage instances.
This means that Yunli’s kit is best used in teams where she can have the maximum aggro, just like Clara teams.
Yunli is a strong DPS character, andshe can easily clear the hardest challenges in the gamewith her best build. Her kit is also very similar to Clara, so HSR players will likely question how they compare to each other. So, here is how Yunli compares against Clara and the other top Destruction characters in the game:
Yunli is a very versatile unit and can play with a wide range of characters effectively. As a traditional Hypercarry, she is best with characters that increase her damage output. Other than that,characters that can increase the Aggro of Yunliare also really good for her team. Also, as Yunli’s largest share of damage output comes from her Ultimate, having teams that can recharge her Ultimate correctly are also very effective.
Characters likeRobin,Tingyun, Huohuo, andSparkleare great options for Yunli teams. Similarly, characters like Topaz,Aventurine, Pela, Fu Xuan, Lynx, and Silver Wolf are also good with Yunli.
Yunli’s Signature Light Cone is a very strong option for her, especially because it increases her aggro, which is missing in her based kit, excluding her Ultimate. Besides that, this Light Cone further increases Crit Damage by 36% and additionally increases Follow-up Attack damage by 36% (max 2 stacks) after using their Ultimate, making it a very strong option for Yunli and a priority over her E1.
However,Yunlin is self-sufficient enough without her Signature Light Cone, fully capable of clearing all the game’s challenges using her best build.
Now that you have taken a look at everything Yunli provides, let’s boil everything down to her strengths and weaknesses.
Yunli’s Strengths:
Yunli’s Weaknesses:
Overall,I would recommend you pull for Yunlionly if you don’t already have Clara and lack any other good Physical DPS units. She is a good character and very F2P friendly. Yunli can be a great pick for new players as well.
