Yeonwoo in Depth

Yeonwoo is the reliable offensive joiner for bear hunt and rally stacking — a Gen 1 Epic Archer whose signature value is delivering consistent damage without relying on RNG procs. Her Petalbloom is a unique three-wave attack dealing up to Attack × 175% on the second wave and Attack × 210% AOE on the third. Falling Swallow adds single-target damage with a debuff (up to -50% enemy Attack Speed), and Twin Fangs passively increases her Attack by +24%. Her Expedition skills: On Guard grants squad-wide +25% Lethality, and Well-Traveled uniquely speeds up Research by +15% — making her a dual-purpose hero for combat AND tech progression. No exclusive gear (Epic pattern). F2P through Hero Recruitment and Epic General Hero Shard. S-tier Bear Hunt and Joiner. Lore: a disciplined swordswoman trained since age 5 whose father's creed — 'Accomplishing something is hard, but ruining it is easy' — still guides her practice.

Why Yeonwoo Rates the Way It Does

Bear Hunt — S. Consistent offensive contribution that does not rely on chance mechanics.

Joiner — S. Reliable joiner — her on-hit deterministic output is preferred over proc-chance joiners.

Lore: The Disciplined Swordswoman

Yeonwoo has trained with the sword since age five under her father's mentorship, practicing daily with unwavering discipline. She is guided by the principle 'Accomplishing something is hard, but ruining it is easy' — a creed that shapes every careful cut. Her patience and precision contrast with flashier heroes who rely on chance.
