Why Yukong E6 Works for Aglaea
Yukong's Roaring Bowstrings provides exceptional buffs—28% CRIT Rate, 65% CRIT DMG, and 80% ATK at max stacks—but maintaining these on the right targets proved challenging historically.
E6 changes everything by granting one Roaring Bowstrings stack immediately on Ultimate use. Combined with her Majestas Trace (2 Energy per ally action during Roaring Bowstrings), E6 Yukong achieves unprecedented buff uptime.
Aglaea's summon system creates the perfect environment. The Garmentmaker memosprite performs coordinated attacks, effectively doubling ally actions that trigger Yukong's energy regeneration. When speed-tuned 1-2 SPD faster than Aglaea, Yukong ensures CRIT buffs activate precisely when both Aglaea and Garmentmaker execute joint attacks.
Performance in Memory of Chaos demonstrates E6 Yukong's superiority. Consistent CRIT buff application during Supreme Stance—when Aglaea's Myopic's Doom grants 720% ATK and 360% Garmentmaker SPD—creates damage windows alternatives can't match. When Garmentmaker reaches max SPD stacks (330 SPD cap), Yukong's buffs amplify both the 200% Aglaea ATK + 200% Garmentmaker ATK primary damage and 90%/90% adjacent damage from Slash by a Thousandfold Kiss.

Speed Mechanics Fundamentals
Action Value (AV) determines turn order: AV = 10000 / (Character SPD + Speed Buffs). Lower AV = faster actions.
Critical Speed Breakpoints:
- 134 SPD: 2 turns in 1st and 4th cycles (2 bonus turns)
- 160 SPD: 2 turns in 1st, 2nd, and 4th cycles (3 bonus turns)
Action Advance mechanics modify turn order independently of base SPD. When Sunday advances Aglaea's turn or Garmentmaker summons with 100% Action Advance, subsequent timing still follows original AV calculations from base speed.
Speed decimal precision matters. The game calculates AV with decimal accuracy, so 134.5 SPD acts slightly faster than 134.0 SPD. This precision is critical when tuning Yukong to act exactly 1-2 SPD faster than Aglaea—the sweet spot where buffs activate just before Aglaea's turn without wasting action economy.
Aglaea Summon Mechanics
Garmentmaker initializes with SPD = 35% of Aglaea's SPD, then gains +55 SPD per stack up to 6 stacks (max 330 SPD). This dynamic progression creates specific buff timing windows.
When summoned via Skill Rise Exalted Renown, Garmentmaker enters with immediate action—effectively 100% Action Advance. This instant action occurs before normal turn order, creating the first critical moment where Yukong's buffs must already be active.
Supreme Stance operates at 100 Speed independently. During Supreme Stance, Aglaea gains 15% SPD per stack up to 90% max, while E6 adds 20% Lightning RES PEN and scales Joint ATK DMG by +10%/30%/60% at SPD thresholds of 160/240/320.
Key misconception: Garmentmaker does NOT inherit speed buffs applied to Aglaea after summoning—only Aglaea's base SPD at summon moment determines the initial 35% calculation. Garmentmaker's SPD stacks accumulate independently, meaning it can eventually outpace Aglaea at max stacks.
Optimal Speed Tuning Strategy
Target Speed Hierarchy:
- Yukong: 1-2 SPD faster than Aglaea
- Aglaea (with signature LC): 165-166 SPD combat speed
- Sunday: 134 SPD for turn advance support
Turn order priority: Yukong acts first to establish CRIT buffs → Aglaea benefits immediately → Garmentmaker inherits active buffs on summon.
Speed Breakpoint Variations:
With Attack boots instead of Speed boots: Aglaea requires 160+ SPD Sunday to maintain rotation timing.
Without signature LC: Aglaea reaches 177 SPD out of combat, requiring Yukong speed adjustments to maintain 1-2 SPD advantage.
Hero of Triumphant Song 4pc adds +6% SPD with memosprite active, enabling higher speed targets.
Enemy Speed Considerations:
Memory of Chaos features enemies with varying SPD that alter turn frequency. Against 150+ SPD enemies, gaps between 134 SPD support and 165 SPD DPS create interruption opportunities that desync buffs. Target 145-150 SPD minimum across all members for high-speed encounters.
Speed Tuning Implementation
Step 1: Calculate Current Action Values
Record base SPD (Aglaea Lv80: 102, Yukong Lv80: 107) + relic main stats (Speed boots: +25) + substats + Light Cone bonuses. Apply AV formula (10000 / Total SPD) to each character, sort by ascending AV.
Step 2: Identify Speed Gaps
Compare calculated turn order against optimal: Yukong → Aglaea → Garmentmaker → Support/Sustainer. If Yukong's AV exceeds Aglaea's, add SPD substats to Yukong or reduce Aglaea's speed. Ideal gap: Yukong AV 1-2 points lower than Aglaea's.
Step 3: Relic Farming Priority
For Yukong: Target 4-5 Speed substat rolls (each adds 2.0-2.6 SPD). Substat priority: Speed > Energy Regen > CRIT Rate > ATK%. Accept lower offensive stats for perfect speed positioning.
Step 4: Testing
Enter Simulated Universe World 3, observe first three action cycles. If Yukong consistently acts before Aglaea across multiple initiations, tuning succeeds. If order varies, add Speed substats to Yukong or reduce Aglaea's SPD.
Rotation Optimization
Opening Rotation:
Aglaea's Technique generates 30 Energy + Trace starts with 50% Ultimate gauge = 80% energy pre-battle. Yukong opens with Ultimate (if available) to trigger E6's instant Roaring Bowstrings stack → Aglaea uses Skill to summon Garmentmaker under active CRIT buffs.
Buff Uptime Maintenance:
Yukong's Majestas generates 2 Energy per ally action during Roaring Bowstrings:
- Aglaea action (+2)
- Garmentmaker action (+2)
- Sunday action (+2)
- Sustainer action (+2) = 8 Energy per rotation cycle
With 130 Energy Ultimate cost, Yukong regenerates Ultimate every ~16 ally actions (3-4 rotation cycles).
Skill Point Economy:
Aglaea's Skill costs 1 SP per use. Yukong's Skill costs 1 SP. Optimal distribution:
- Aglaea: Skill every 2-3 turns
- Yukong: Alternate Basic ATK and Skill for neutral SP economy
- Sunday/sustainer: Basic ATK when Ultimate unavailable
Ultimate Timing:
Aglaea's Ultimate costs 350 Energy—achievable through 80% starting energy + Skill generation + ally attacks. Sunday's Ultimate provides 70 Energy to Aglaea. Huohuo's Ultimate grants 70 Energy teamwide + 40% ATK. Coordinate these to trigger Supreme Stance when Yukong's buffs are active and Garmentmaker has 4+ SPD stacks (255+ SPD for E6 damage scaling).

Team Building
Best Sustainer Options:
Huohuo provides exceptional synergy: Ultimate's 70 Energy teamwide + 40% ATK accelerates Aglaea's Ultimate cycling. Speed: 140-150 SPD (below Aglaea to avoid disrupting Yukong→Aglaea sequence).
Secondary Support:
Sunday serves as premier turn advance support: Ultimate provides 70 Energy to Aglaea + action manipulation. At 134 SPD, enables Aglaea to reach 165-166 combat speed with signature LC.
Alternative: Remembrance TB + Tingyun + Gallagher sacrifices turn advance for broader buffs, requiring 140-145 SPD minimum across supports.
Light Cone Impact:
Aglaea's signature Time Woven Into Gold adds +12 to +20 base SPD + Brocade stacks granting +9-15% CRIT DMG up to 6 stacks. This SPD bonus allows Attack boots with 160+ SPD Sunday. Without signature, Aglaea requires Speed boots.
F2P vs Premium:
Premium (Aglaea + Sunday + Yukong E6 + Huohuo): Optimal buff alignment through turn advance.
F2P (Aglaea + Remembrance TB + Yukong E6 + Gallagher): Requires 145-155 SPD range to compensate for lack of action manipulation.
Common Mistakes
Over-tuning: Yukong at 175+ SPD while Aglaea at 165 SPD creates excessive gap—Yukong laps Aglaea, wasting buff duration. Solution: Cap Yukong at 166-168 SPD max.
Ignoring Enemy Speed: Wave 1 enemies at 120 SPD allow 134 SPD Yukong first action, but Wave 2 at 155 SPD interrupts turn order. Solution: Increase minimum team SPD to 150+ for multi-wave content.
Buff Desync: Inconsistent damage across identical rotations indicates timing issues. Common causes: Yukong SPD too close to Aglaea (0 SPD difference creates randomness), action advance disruptions, enemy delays. Solution: Maintain 1-2 SPD advantage, monitor combat logs.
Skill Point Starvation: 170 SPD Yukong + 168 SPD Aglaea using Skills consume 2 SP/cycle, while 140 SPD supports generate only 1.5 SP. Solution: Reduce DPS/support SPD to 160-165 range or adjust Yukong to Basic ATK every other turn.
Advanced Techniques
Micro-adjustments: Yukong at 167 SPD vs Aglaea at 165 SPD creates AV gap (10000/167 = 59.88 vs 10000/165 = 60.61) of 0.73 AV—7.3% turn cycle difference. Target 0.5-1.0 AV gaps through single substat adjustments.
Mid-fight Adaptation: If Yukong's buffs expire before Supreme Stance, Sunday's Ultimate can advance Yukong's turn immediately. If Garmentmaker's SPD stacks (6 stacks = 330 SPD) push it ahead, use Yukong's Ultimate to reset position.
Boss-specific Tuning:
Action-delaying bosses: Increase team SPD by 5-10 points above standard.
Self-advancing bosses: Prioritize buff duration through faster Yukong Ultimate cycling over SPD increases.
Future-proofing: Maintain alternative Speed boots with different substats. Keep Yukong relic sets at 165, 170, and 175 SPD configurations for quick adaptation.
Endgame Application
Memory of Chaos:
Floors 9-10 (110-130 SPD enemies): Standard 134-165 SPD configuration works.
Floors 11-12 (140-160 SPD elites): Demand 150+ SPD minimum teamwide. Current floor 12 (v3.8) benefits from 160 SPD Sunday enabling Aglaea Attack boots.
Pure Fiction:
Multi-wave transitions recalculate AV from zero each wave. Target 155-160 SPD across all members to prevent 140+ SPD enemy waves from disrupting Yukong→Aglaea sequencing. Higher baseline accelerates clear times.
Apocalyptic Shadow:
Extended 8+ minute encounters mean 6-8 Yukong Ultimate cycles. Prioritize Energy Regen substats (15-20% total) to accelerate cycling, accepting slightly lower SPD (163-164). Target 270 combat Speed for Aglaea during Supreme Stance to maximize E6 scaling.
Performance Data:
Memory of Chaos Floor 12 first half: 2:15-2:45 with optimized Yukong-Aglaea vs 2:45-3:30 with alternatives. 30-60 second improvement from consistent CRIT uptime during max SPD Garmentmaker windows. DPS metrics show 15-25% damage increase during buffed Supreme Stance phases.
FAQ
What speed does Yukong need for Aglaea teams?
1-2 SPD faster than Aglaea. For Aglaea at 165-166 SPD with signature LC, target Yukong at 167-168 SPD. Without signature (177 base SPD), adjust Yukong to 178-179 SPD.
How does Yukong E6 change her viability?
E6 grants one Roaring Bowstrings stack immediately on Ultimate, solving buff consistency issues. Combined with Majestas (2 Energy per ally action), enables reliable uptime in Aglaea teams where both Aglaea and Garmentmaker accelerate energy regeneration.
Does Aglaea's summon have its own speed stat?
Yes. Garmentmaker initializes at 35% of Aglaea's SPD, then gains +55 SPD per stack up to 6 stacks (max 330 SPD). Operates independently after summoning, can outpace Aglaea at max stacks.
What are common speed tuning mistakes?
Over-tuning Yukong (175+ when Aglaea at 165) causes turn order lapping. Ignoring enemy speed variations, failing to account for action advance, creating SP starvation through excessive SPD cycling.
Should Yukong be faster or slower than Aglaea?
1-2 SPD faster to ensure CRIT buffs activate before Aglaea's attacks, guaranteeing coverage during critical windows when Garmentmaker summons with immediate action.
How do you maintain Yukong buff uptime?
E6's instant Roaring Bowstrings on Ultimate + energy regeneration from ally actions (2 Energy per action). Both Aglaea and Garmentmaker actions accelerate Ultimate cycling, enabling refresh every 3-4 rotation cycles.
