Yunli is going to be the newest 5-star Physical unit to join Honkai: Star Rail in Version 2.4.
She follows the Path of Destruction, meaning that she will offer a good mix of damage and survivability, and knowing that Destruction characters are one of the best DPS units in the game, we can expect a lot from her.
Yunli is speculated to be released in the first phase of version 2.4, and in this article, we’ll go over all the leaks about her kit, eidolons, signature light cone, and more to help you decide if you want to pull for her.

Yunli Speculated Release Date
Yunli was the first character to be teased for the upcoming version 2.4, which leads us to believe that she will appear as a limited character in the first phase.
Taking into account the schedule for banners, we can expect Yunli to be released on July 30. This date is still more than 6 weeks away, giving you just enough time to gather some Stellar Jade and pull for her. You should also note that this date is only a speculation and may change before the official announcement by HoYoverse.

Yunli Kit and Skills
From the current leaks about her kit, we can say that Yunli is all about tanking a ton of damage and countering it back to enemies. You can think of her as a Clara on steroids, being able to tank the whole enemy lineup while also dealing a lot of damage scaling based on ATK%.
Her Ultimate works in a similar way to Clara's, where it enhances her [Counters], and overall, she looks like she will be a solid DPS unit.
Here is her kit, with numbers for Lvl 1:
Skills
ATK
Galespin Summersault
- Deals Physical DMG equal to 50% of Yunli's ATK to a single enemy.
Skill
Bladeborne Quake
- Restores HP equal to 20% of Yunli's ATK plus 50, and deals Physical DMG equal to 60% of Yunli's ATK to a single enemy target and Physical DMG equal to 30% of Yunli's ATK to adjacent targets.

- When the [Counter] Talent effect is triggered while Block is active, it will be switched to a Counter [Intuit: Cull] effect and also dispel Block. If no Counters are triggered while Block is active, when the effect ends, Yunli will immediately launch a Counter [Intuit: Slash] effect on a random enemy target.
- When an [Intuit: Slash] is inflicted, it will cause the next [Intuit: Slash] to become an [Intuit: Cull].
- Intuit: Slash: Deals Physical DMG to the target equal to 144% of Yunli's ATK, and deals Physical DMG to adjacent targets equal to 72% of Yunli's ATK.

Then, additionally deals 6 instance(s) of DMG, with each instance dealing Physical DMG equal to 48% of Yunli's ATK to a random single enemy target. When Yunli deals DMG through this ability, it will be viewed as Ultimate DMG.

Yunli Eidolons
Yunli’s eidolons do one thing, and that is to further increase her damage. Most, if not all, of her Eidolons heavily increase the damage on her counters, leaving us to believe that she will be great even at E0.

Summary
There is nothing much to say about Yunli. From what we’ve seen, we can summarize that she will be a really solid follow-up attack DPS that will also work as a meat shield for the team.
Healers like Luocha will likely pair well with her due to his low SP needs, and having supports that can buff ATK% will also benefit her quite nicely.
As of right now, it is hard to judge her overall damage potential, but it’s safe to say that she will be a decent unit at E0, and if you do not have Clara or any other solid Physical DPS, she might just be a good addition to your account.
