Unique Status Effects

When Soulsteel Sync is active, Yanqing is less likely to be attacked by enemies. Yanqing's CRIT Rate increases by 15%—21% and his CRIT DMG increases by 15%—33%. After Yanqing attacks an enemy, there is a 50%—62% fixed chance to launch Follow-up ATK, dealing Ice DMG equal to 25%—55% of Yanqing's ATK to the enemy, which has a 65% base chance to Freeze the enemy for 1 turn.
The Frozen target cannot take action and receives Ice Additional DMG equal to 25%—55% of Yanqing's ATK at the beginning of each turn.
When Yanqing receives DMG, the Soulsteel Sync effect will disappear.

Soulsteel Sync's effects are indicated by the icon below Yanqing's party avatar.
Yanqing will not lose the Soulsteel Sync if he loses HP from non-DMG sources or taking DMG without losing HP, such as through having a shield.
It is possible for Yanqing to retain Soulsteel Sync after using Basic ATK by using his Ultimate directly after it.
This ability's follow-up attack DMG is dealt in 2 hits. The DMG distribution across hits is 30% + 70%.
