The teases will continue until the morale improves! Developer HoYoverse is back with a new Improv Tour trailer ‘Beyond Weal and Woe’. It is focused on Yao Guang, our first new Elation character to join the ranks in Honkai: Star Rail – Version 4.0.
As the senior soror to Fu Xuan, Yao Guang serves as the Alliance’s vital divination advisor when facing difficult predicaments. To the people of the Xianzhou, she is “Madam Yao,” a goddess of fortune who resolves crises and brings good omens through her divination.
When Elation comes into play, your team will obtain “Punchlines”, and as those accumulate, Aha will personally take interest and battle. During Aha Instant, characters will unleash their skills in turn. The more Punchlines gathered, the stronger the effect. Afterward, characters get their unique Certified Bangers.
Yao Guang specializes in using “Weal and Woe Lots” to control the flow of battle. Weal Lots increase ally Elation and grant the team “Punchline” stacks when Yao Guang uses her Skill. During an “Aha Instant,” Yao Guang casts Woe Lots, causing enemies to take increased DMG while regenerating Skill Points for the team. Yao Guang’s “Certified Banger” buff allows teammates’ attacks to deal 1 instance of Additional Elation DMG; if that attack consumes a Skill Point, the DMG is further increased.
Furthermore, her Ultimate not only provides “Punchline” for the team but also immediately triggers an extra “Aha Instant,” increasing All-Type RES PEN for all allies.
“Amidst laughter and chatter, weal and woe flip in an instant. She says: Fortune and misfortune have no door, but are called upon by men themselves. To alter fate with one’s own being, to tether cause and effect…
She says: Is there not beauty in dancing while shackled? A situation of certain death, an invitation to step into the trap. She says: Such a spectacle is rare. To miss it would be a lifelong regret. Some say she is the diviner least like a diviner, and the General least like a General. She smiles, venturing onward without looking back.”
