While charging the first hit, Anti-Interrupt Level increases and DMG taken decreases by 60%. While charging the second and third hits, the character is Invulnerable.

| Nangong Yu's Anomaly Proficiency increases by X. When Nangong Yu's initial Anomaly Mastery exceeds 110, each point of initial Anomaly Mastery above that increases her Impact by 1. When an enemy is Stunned, each time any character triggers Abloom DMG, Disorder DMG, or inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on the enemy, the enemy gains 1 stacks of Vibrato. A single enemy can have up to 4 stacks of Vibrato. If Vibrato reaches the maximum stacks and the enemy is afflicted with an Ether, Electric, Fire, Physical, Ice, or Wind Anomaly, or if the enemy has Vibrato and recovers from being Stunned, all Vibrato stacks will be cleared. When Vibrato is cleared, if the enemy is suffering an aforementioned Attribute Anomaly, Nangong Yu triggers an instance of Abloom DMG on the target, dealing an additional instance of Attribute Anomaly DMG equal to 720%/360%/900%/63%/90%/36% of the original Attribute Anomaly DMG. Each stack of Vibrato on the enemy increases this Abloom DMG ratio by an additional 25%. During the same Stun period, once Vibrato has been cleared, the enemy cannot gain Vibrato again. When Nangong Yu's Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact or EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love hits an enemy, her Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by A%, and her Daze dealt increases by B%, and all squad members' DMG dealt increases by C% for 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. While in combat, Nangong Yu restores 3.8 Downbeats/s. When any squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, Nangong Yu restores an additional 12 Downbeats. This effect can trigger once every 6s. Nangong Yu can hold up to 100 Downbeats, and starts with 30 Downbeats upon entering the battlefield. | ||

| When another character in your squad is an Anomaly character or shares the same Faction: Any squad member's attack against a Stunned enemy has 30% increased Anomaly Buildup. Chain Attacks against a Stunned enemy have an additional 30% increased Anomaly Buildup. When any squad member Stuns an enemy, Nangong Yu gains 2 stacks of Dance Prowess, up to a maximum of 2 stacks, lasting 15s, repeated triggers reset the duration. With Dance Prowess, when a heavy attack from Nangong Yu's EX Special Attack: The Unbearable Weight of Love, Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact, or Quick Assist: Emergency Save hits an enemy that is both Stunned and affected by an Attribute Anomaly, 1 stack of Dance Prowess is consumed to trigger the special Disorder effect Polarity Disorder against all enemies who meet the conditions. This deals DMG equal to 25% of the original Disorder DMG, and triggers the previous squad member's Quick Assist. Polarity Disorder does not clear the target's Attribute Anomaly. If the skill fails to trigger Polarity Disorder, Dance Prowess will not be consumed. When Nangong Yu has Dance Prowess, the next time she switches to the field, she will immediately perform the first charged hit of Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact, which will always trigger precise charging. When any squad member Stuns an enemy, Nangong Yu's next EX Special Attack will not consume Energy. This effect lasts 15s and can trigger once every 15s. When Nangong Yu and Aria are in the same squad, if Aria's Basic Attack: Perfect Pitch heavy attack hits an enemy that is both Stunned and affected by an Attribute Anomaly, and Nangong Yu fully participates in the attack, 1 stack of Dance Prowess will also be consumed to trigger Polarity Disorder on all enemies who meet the conditions. When the third hit of Nangong Yu's Basic Attack: Adorable Explosive Impact or Ultimate: Meteor Shower hits an enemy, the enemy suffers Misstep. Under this effect, Stun DMG Multiplier increases by 30% and when an enemy becomes Stunned, their Stun duration increases by 3s. Before recovering from Stun, Misstep can only trigger once on the same target. The increased Stun duration cannot stack with similar effects. When an enemy with Misstep recovers from Stun, the Misstep effect ends. | ||
