[2.7] Nangong Yu Complete Build Guide

Rarity: S-Rank | Element: Ether | Specialty: Stun | Faction: Angels of Delusion | Release: March 24, 2026

Overview

Nangong Yu is an S-Rank Ether Stun agent who redefines the Stunner role in ZZZ. As the captain of Angels of Delusion, she converts Anomaly Proficiency into Impact and enables Polarity Disorder—a unique mechanic that deals Disorder damage without clearing existing anomalies.

Why Nangong Yu is Revolutionary

Anomaly-to-Impact Conversion: First stunner that scales with Anomaly stats
Polarity Disorder: 50% Disorder DMG + 10% per Mark stack consumed
Doesn't Clear Anomalies: Polarity Disorder preserves existing Attribute Anomaly
Universal Anomaly Support: Works with any Anomaly DPS (Aria, Jane, Miyabi, Yanagi)
Team Buffs: Squad DMG +15%, Stun DMG Multiplier +15%, ATK +50

Key Mechanics

Core Passive: Anomaly Proficiency Conversion

Base: 100 Anomaly Proficiency
When Anomaly Mastery exceeds 100, every point above threshold increases Impact by 0.8
Build Anomaly stats to boost stunning capability!

The Mark System

Enemies gain Mark stacks (max 5) when they:

Enter an Anomaly state
Get hit by Abloom attacks
Get hit by Disorder attacks

Polarity Disorder Trigger: When Mark reaches max stacks OR enemy recovers from Stun:

All stacks removed
Deals 50% of original Disorder DMG
+10% per stack consumed (up to +50%)
Does NOT clear existing Attribute Anomaly!

Dance Points & Charge Attacks

Max Dance Points: 100 (recover 6/s in combat, +35 when squad triggers Anomaly)
Three-stage Charge Attacks:
- Stage 1: Anti-interrupt + 60% DMG reduction
- Stages 2-3: Full invulnerability
- Perfect Charge: +20% Daze (easier after Dodge Counter/Assist/EX Special)

Stun Duration	+2.5s	Charged Attack hits (once per stun)
