Is Yixuan Worth Pulling?

Pros

Void Hunter-Level Mechanics

Though no official announcement has been made to say Yixuan is the officially a Void Hunter, but her kit screams top-tier. Her Ether attribute variant might kick off a spell-based meta, shaking up the Attack/Anomaly dominance.

Top-Tier Attribute, Core DPS Role

With her unique attribute and mechanics, Yixuan's a prime main DPS. If you're missing a main DPS or missed Vivienne, she's worth a look.

Cons

Current Stats Aren't Standout

Test server buzz says her damage is just above average for Attack characters. As a“special character”like Miyabi, expect tweaks—wait for official stats.

High Investment Potential

As a meta Void Hunter-level Agent, maxing her out could demand serious resources. Be ready to grind if you want her at peak performance.

*Additionally, all information about her skills, Specialty W-Engine, and Mindscape Cinema is subject to change before the official release, which may affect her value for pulling. If you're risk-averse, it's better to wait for the official announcement before making a decision.
