Zenless Zone Zero leakers have provided some early information on Yanagi’s leaked kit. They are as follows:
Basic Attack: Night Seer Divine Music
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Tap to Activate: Yanagi possesses two stances: [Upper Chord] and [Lower Chord]. When performing a basic attack, she can execute up to five slashes forward depending on the current stance, dealing physical damage and electrical attribute damage. |
| [Upper Chord] Stance Bonus | Increased resistance to interruptions during basic attacks. [Lower Chord] Stance Bonus: Increased interruption level during basic attacks. After switching stances,Yanagi can retain the previous stance’s bonus for 6 seconds. |
| Special Attack: Flowing Transition | Activation: Tap to activate Effect : Perform a forward slash dealing electric attribute damage while switching the current stance. If tapped after the 3rd to 5th hits of a [Basic Attack], it can trigger a quick switch, allowing connection to the 3rd hit of the [Basic Attack] in the corresponding stance. Increases interruption resistance during the move’s activation. Quick switch attack can block enemy attacks. |
| EX Special Attack: Lunar Flowing Transition | Effect : Alternately use the two stances to perform a powerful forward slash, dealing massive electric attribute damage. During the move’s activation, enter a state called All-Encompassing Nature. While this state lasts, after executing the 5th hit of a [Basic Attack] or other types of attacks, it can connect to the 3rd hit of the [Basic Attack] in the corresponding stance. This state lasts for 15 seconds, and reapplying refreshes the duration. If the [EX Special Attack] hits an enemy in an Anomaly status, it adds an additional area damage equivalent to 15.0% of Yanagi’s Anomaly Proficiency. If the target is in a non-electric attribute Anomaly state, this additional damage is considered [Disruption] damage. Invulnerability is granted during the move’s activation. |
