General Huaiyan's darling granddaughter has made her appearance in the latest Honkai Star Rail update, and after obtaining her, you are likely wondering what the best Yunli team configurations are to optimally play her.

This article will go over the best characters to pair with and how to form a Yunli team composition in Honkai Star Rall that will allow you to take out your enemies with ease and deal devastating amounts of physical damage.

The best Yunli teams in Honkai Star Rail

Yunli works like Clara, which means the majority of her damage comes from her ability to counterattack. This allows her to be played as both a secondary damage dealer and also as a main DPS in a Hypercarry team setup.

Let us take a look at some of the characters who can pair well with Yunli and aid her in unleashing pain on her enemies.

Best Sustain

Being of the Path of Destruction, she has some of the highest aggro values in Honkai Star Rail. You can raise this by using characters like March 7th (Preservation), and Lynx, who can act as some of the best sustenance units for Yunli. But keep in mind that Lynx's healing is extremely mediocre and March can shield only one character. Huohuo is another great choice due to her attack and energy buffs.

If none of the above characters floats your boat, you can use Fu Xuan for the crit buffs and Aventurine for his ability to have almost 100% Shield uptime. Just make sure to not run any Lightcone on your Preservation characters that can attract the aggro away from Yunli.

Best Buffers/ Debuffers

Being a Follow-Up attack unit, Robin should be your first choice for a Harmony unit while forming a Yunli team in Honkai Star Rail. Sparkle is also an extremely viable choice, especially because some squad setups can lead you to run low on Skill Points (SP) which Sparkle can regenerate. Tingyun is a highly valuable team member as well who can buff attack and give back energy.

For characters who can debuff enemies, it is ideal to use Topaz, who can implant a mark on enemies that will lead them to take more damage from Follow-Up attacks. Pela is a great all-round debuffer who can shred multiple enemy defenses. While Silver Wolf can also fit the role, she is single-target oriented, causing her to not fare too well in Yunli team setups.

Now let us take a look at some of the squads you can run alongside Yunli in Honkai Star Rail.

Robin/ Tingyun, Sparkle, Huohuo (MoC and Hypercarry)

This will arguably be the best Yunli team setup that you can create in Honkai Star Rail, allowing you to spam your ultimate thanks to both Tingyun and Huohuo's ability to regenerate energy. Also, Sparkle can give more Crit Damage, Skill Points (SP), and other buffs that will be crucial due to how SP negative this team can get.

Topaz, Robin, Aventurine (Apocalyptic Shadow)

Topaz in Honkai Star Rail is a great teammate for FUA characters and this team can easily stand as a great secondary damage dealer in a Yunli team. Aventurine can provide shields to keep you alive and Robin will buff the Follow-Up attacks.

Pela, Tingyun, Lynx (F2P)

For those who do not have the luxury of using 5-star characters, you can run these units alongside Yunli to make her work as well. Tingyun will be the buffer of the team, Lynx will aid in survival and aggro boost, and Pela will tear down the enemy defense so you can hit the big numbers.
