Yanagi (ZZZ) Mechanism

Basic Attack Stances
Yanagi wields two stances: Jougen and Kagen. Each stance features a 5-hit combo where the first two hits deal physical damage, and the last three deliver electric damage. Switching stances after the 3rd, 4th, or 5th hit via her Special or Ex-Special Skill sets the next attack to start with the 3rd hit.

Buffs and Effects

  • Jougen Stance: Increases Electric Damage by 10%.
  • Kagen Stance: Boosts PEN Ratio by 10%.

Polarity Disorder
Trigger this powerful effect by using Yanagi’s Ex-Special Skill or Ultimate on an enemy with Anomaly status, dealing damage based on her Anomaly Proficiency.

Ex-Special Skill
Activating this grants a 15-second buff, allowing all Basic Attacks to start with the 3rd hit.

Core Abilities
Yanagi is essential for teams focused on Disorder damage, enhancing all team members’ Disorder output. Her Core Team passive boosts her Anomaly Build-up Rate when paired with another Anomaly or Electric character.

Yanagi (ZZZ) Best W-Engine

The percentage indicates the performance of the W-engine in Damage output.

Yanagi’s Signature W-engine is, of course, the best option for her. It increases Yanagi’s Electric Anomaly build-up. When Yanagi uses Special or Ex-Special, her AP is increased, with this buff having almost 100% uptime. It also increases Disorder DMG when Yanagi’s AP is over 375.

If you don’t want to use the Signature W-engine, there are three substitutes. The best and easy-to-get substitute is the R5 Weeping Gemini. Its effect is maximized when dealing with bosses which seldom enters Daze. Another alternative is R5 battle pass W-engine Electro-Lip Gloss. Grace’s Signature W-engine, the Fusion Compiler, is also an option if you don’t have these two high-refined 4-Star W-engines.

Sub Stats

In Daze team, Yanagi should equip with 4-piece Thunder Metal with 2-piece Freedom Blues or Chaos Jazz.

In Disorder Team, The performance of the 4-piece Chaotic Jazz plus 2-piece Freedom Blues is the best among the Drive Disc options. Ideally, you should use a 2-piece Freedom Blues + 2-piece Chaotic Jazz + 2-piece Thunder Metal combination. The 4-piece Thunder Metal set should not be considered. The 4-piece Freedom Blues should be equipped by teammates like Seth or Rina; equipping Yanagi with it would be a waste.

Main Stats
choose AP for Slot 4, PEN Ratio or Electric DMG Bonus for Slot 5, and ATK% for Slot 6.

Sub Stats
Prioritize AP first, then ATK%, and finally flat PEN.
