Yanqing is a single-target DPS character using The Hunt Path in Honkai Star Rail to deal phenomenal damage to bosses.
Most of Yanqing’s character and Light Cone bonuses are canceled when he gets hit, so his ideal team comp involves a teammate who can take the aggro such as Clara or the Fire Trailblazer.
In this guide, I will list the best Yanqing team comps in Honkai Star Rail, including a premium and a free team.
Also, consider checking out our guide on the Warp Trotter enemies, which are pig-like foes that award a lot of Stellar Jades when defeated.
Yanqing has a unique buff that disappears when he gets attacked. Due to that, he wants a team that prevents enemies from attacking him as much as possible.
Based on that, here is the best team comp for Yanqing in Honkai Star Rail:
Clara has a passive ability that increases the chances of enemies attacking her. Additionally, March 7th should use her shield on Clara.
The shield will increase the chances of Clara getting attacked even further and thus will leave Yanqing to deal damage without ever getting attacked.
The most important tip here is to position Clara and Yanqing on opposite sides of the party (positions 1 and 4). This is because if the enemies attack Clara with an AoE attack, Yanqing will get hit also if he’s next to her.
With proper positioning, Yanqing will almost never get hit.
Lastly, Bronya is an amazing buffer support and will help amplify Yanqing’s damage and help him attack twice within a turn.
Yanqing is also a great DPS choice even if you lack characters. Here is the best free-to-play team for Yanqing:
For this team, the combo is fairly similar to the premium team. Fire Traiblazer will constantly use his/her skill as a Taunt to take the aggro from enemies. March 7th and Natasha will help keep Fire Trailblazer alive.
Also, it’s essential to position the Trailblazer and Yanqing on opposite sides of the party again (positions 1 and 4) so that AoE attacks that target the Trailblazer won’t hit Yanqing.
With this setup, Yanqing will be able to deal damage easily and maintain his buffs throughout the entire fight.
To summarize, this is the best premium and free-to-play team for Yanqing in Honkai Star Rail.
Make sure to have an ally that can take the aggro from enemies to help Yanqing keep his buff active for as long as possible.
