Elemental Skill
  • Description

  • Preview
Calls upon "Yuegui: Throwing Mode," a special device created by a certain adeptus to help Yaoyao solve her problems.
This skill will be used differently in Holding Mode.

Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the throw direction.

Yuegui: Throwing Mode
Throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao's Max HP. If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.
Yuegui: Throwing Mode will choose its radish-throw targets.
  • If all nearby characters have more than 70% HP remaining, then it will throw the radish at a nearby opponent.
  • If nearby characters have 70% or less HP remaining, it will throw a radish at the character with the lowest HP percentage remaining. If no opponents exist nearby, Yuegui will throw White Jade Radishes at characters even if they all have more than 70% HP remaining.

A maximum of 2 instances Yuegui: Throwing Mode can exist at any one time.
  • When this skill hits at least one enemy, it generates 1 Elemental Particle.
    • This particle generation has a cooldown of 1.5 seconds.
  • Yuegui: Throwing Mode throws 1 radish every second for a total of 10 radishes over the full duration.
  • Yuegui randomly selects targets within a cylindrical targeting zone with a radius of 8 m and a height of 10 m.
  • When radish explosions hit characters, they can trigger certain on-hit effects, such as that of Beidou's 4th Constellation Level and Thoma's 1st Constellation Level.
  • White Jade Radish DMG will snapshot Yaoyao's stats on cast and will not be affected by changes in her stats that occur afterwards.
  • The radishes targeted at characters and enemies are homing.
  • When the radishes land, hit a character, or hit an enemy, they make a noise that can be heard by enemies and wildlife and may therefore startle them.
Passive Effects
  • Passive Talent 2, In Others' Shoes In Others' Shoes: "When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will regain HP every 1s based on 0.8% of Yaoyao's Max HP. This effect lasts 5s."
Constellation Effects
  • Constellation Level 1, Adeptus' Tutelage Adeptus' Tutelage: "When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will gain 15% Dendro DMG Bonus for 8s and have 15 Stamina restored to them. This form of Stamina Restoration can only be triggered every 5s."
  • Constellation Level 3, Loyal and Kind Loyal and Kind: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.
  • Constellation Level 4, Winsome Winsome: "After using Raphanus Sky Cluster or Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao's Elemental Mastery will be increased based on 0.3% of her Max HP for 8s. The maximum Elemental Mastery she can gain this way is 120."
  • Constellation Level 6, Beneficent Beneficent: "For every 2 White Jade Radishes Yuegui: Throwing Mode throws out, it will also throw a Mega Radish that will have a larger AoE than the standard White Jade Radish and have the following effects upon exploding:
    • Deals AoE Dendro DMG based on 75% of Yaoyao's ATK.
    • Restores HP for the active character based on 7.5% of Yaoyao's Max HP.
    Every Yuegui: Throwing Mode can throw out a maximum of 2 Mega Radishes."

At the enjoinment of a certain adeptus, Yuegui's full potential can be unleashed in an emergency, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents and entering an (in some sense) unsurpassed Adeptal Legacy state.

Adeptal Legacy
  • White Jade Radishes generated will be changed to heal and deal DMG according to this skill. Explosions will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG instead.
  • Summons "Yuegui: Jumping Mode" at intervals until their limit has been reached. The behavior of this version of Yuegui is the same as that of "Yuegui: Throwing Mode" in the Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster. A maximum of 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode can exist at any one time.
  • Yaoyao's Movement SPD is increased by 15%.
  • Yaoyao's Dendro RES will be increased.

The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.
  • Yuegui: Jumping Mode throws 1 radish every second.
  • Adeptal Legacy state spawns 1 Yuegui: Jumping Mode every second.
  • Each Yuegui spawned by this skill will snapshot Yaoyao's stats individually when they spawn.
  • Each Yuegui randomly selects targets within a cylindrical targeting zone with a radius of 8 m and a height of 10 m.
  • Characters do not need to be within the explosion radius of a White Jade Radish spawned by this skill in order to be healed.
  • When the radishes land, hit a character, or hit an enemy, they make a noise that can be heard by enemies and wildlife and may therefore startle them.
