Are you ready to dish out big numbers with the best Yunli team compositions? Xinazhou’s ferocious little sword hunter ain’t playing around.
Yunli is a new 5-star character in Honkai Star Rail of the Destruction path who can deal Physical damage. She’s an endearing sword hunter from the Xianzhou Zhuming who specializes in executing follow-up attacks that deal massive crit damage to multiple enemies.
What’s unique about Yunli is that she can simultaneously deal damage to enemies and heal herself using her skill. However, despite her self-reliant nature, Yunli needs teammates who can boost her crit damage, increase her energy regeneration, and increase her survivability for the most brutal encounters in Honkai Star Rail.
This ONE Esports guide has everything you need to know about the best Yunli team compositions, including both premium and budget-friendly options.
Best Yunli teams — premium and free-to-play
Best Yunli team for premium accounts
For premium players, the best Yunli team features Sparkle, Tingyun, and Huohuo.
Yunli deals the most damage from her ultimate, which is basically a multi-target follow-up attack that deals a ton of crit damage.
Sparkle pairs really well here as she can boost Yunli’s standard and crit damage and fast-forward her turn, allowing her to unleash more damage to all enemies and execute follow-up attacks more frequently.
Additionally, since this is a skill-point-hungry Yunli team, having Sparkle will get you extra skill points to make the most out of all party members.
Yunli’s damage scales off her attack, which is why having another amplifier in the team, like Tingyun, is vital for maximizing her damage output. Tingyun can significantly boost Yunli’s attack and damage. Most importantly, she can regenerate Yunli’s energy, allowing her to trigger her ultimate more frequently.
Since Houhou is one of the best support units in Honkai Star Rail, having her in Yunli’s team will benefit all team members. Huohuo can regenerate everyone’s energy, allowing them to unleash their ultimates more frequently and therefore further maximizing Yunli’s efficiency.
Additionally, Huohuo has a team-wide healing capability, which is essential since both Sparkle and Tingyun are fragile units.
Best Yunli follow-up attack team for premium accounts
| HONKAI STAR RAIL CHARACTER | NAME | ROLE |
 | Yunli | DPS |
 | Topaz | Sub-DPS |
 | Robin | Amplifer |
 | Huohuo OR Aventurine | Healer/Support |
Follow-up attack teams have become more prominent in Honkai Star Rail, thanks to characters like Aventurine and Dr. Ratio.
With the addition of Yunli, however, you can now put together the most powerful follow-up attack team in the game.
The best follow-up attack team starring Yunli includes Topaz, Robin, and either Huohuo or Aventurine.
Topaz, the first follow-up unit introduced in HSR, can increase the follow-up attack damage received by enemies, thus consequently boosting the damage output of Yunli, Aventurine, and herself. The extra damage dealt can make a difference, especially when fighting bosses and playing endgame activities like Memory of Chaos.
Robin is arguably the most vital unit in this Yunli team. She can significantly boost attack and damage for allies, letting them immediately take action.
Most importantly, one of her bonus Trace abilities can significantly boost follow-up attack crit damage for all allies, which benefits Yunli in particular, as her follow-up attack specializes in dealing crit damage.
Lastly, you can choose between Aventurine or Huohuo. Since Topaz and Robin have good defense, you won’t necessarily require a healer unless you’re playing something like Memory of Chaos.
Huohuo’s party-wide attack buff, energy regeneration, and healing would still be incredibly useful. On the other hand, having Aventurine would allow you to deal even more follow-up attack damage while having shields at all times. Furthermore, Yunli would gain even more crit-damage boost, which is a win in our book.
Best Yunli team for free-to-play accounts
| HONKAI STAR RAIL CHARACTER | NAME | ROLE |
| Yunli | DPS |
 | Pela | Sub-DPS/Defense Shredder |
 | Tingyun | Amplifer |
 | Natasha or Lynx | Healer |
If you’re a free-to-play player or a light spender, fret not. You can still put together an incredibly powerful team for Yunli.
The best Yunli team for a player on a budget includes Pela, Tingyun, and either Natasha or Lynx.
Like most free-to-play teams in Honkai Star Rail, Pela will play a vital role here. With her ultimate, she can shred enemy defenses and deal ice damage to all enemies. Naturally, this should allow Yunli to deal more damage to those debuffed enemies.
Tingyun’s role here remains the same as previously mentioned Yunli teams. Her skill can boost Yunli’s attack, and her ultimate can increase Yunli’s energy regeneration and provide a damage boost. However, you may also want to use her ultimate to boost Pela’s energy regeneration so she can continue to rip the enemy’s defenses.
For the healer, you could go with either Lynx or Natasha. Each has their own strengths, so it all depends on your personal preference. Natasha can grant party-wide healing, whereas Lynx can heal and direct enemy attacks to a single target — Yunli in this case — and increase the survivability of other team members.
