How Yeonwoo works

Yeonwoo is a 1-generation epic Archer built primarily as a control carry. The kit centers on enemy Attack Speed reduction, area damage, burst damage, and self Attack.

Conquest skill 1

Yeonwoo arcs Petalbloom outward in three waves, dealing Attack * 100%, Attack * 175%, and Attack * 210% damage respectively, with the third being area of effect damage.

Conquest skill 2

The Falling Swallow technique weaves confusion in enemy ranks, dealing Attack * 140% damage and reducing the target’s Attack Speed by 50% for 2s.

Conquest skill 3

Yeonwoo’s unusual duel form is devilishly difficult to defend against, increasing Attack by 24%.

Yeonwoo in Conquest

The successful evidence peaks at stage 269, so the hero is primarily an early-progression or accessibility option in the current dataset.

The current composite ranking weighs stage ceiling, trustworthy lower-power performance, role utility, position versatility, raw stats, and generation ceiling. Yeonwoo is not ranked from raw win rate alone because heroes enter the dataset at different stages and are tested with different frequency.

The current pattern is useful for testing but still sensitive to lineup and account context.

Yeonwoo in Arena

Preliminary Arena projection

The Arena rating is preliminary. It combines Conquest evidence, raw stats, generation age, targeting value, and utility such as enemy Attack Speed reduction, area damage, burst damage, and self Attack.

In Arena, Yeonwoo should be judged by whether the formation can use enemy Attack Speed reduction, area damage, burst damage, and self Attack before the hero is removed or controlled. Newer-generation raw stats matter more in direct PvP, but specialized older heroes can remain useful three or four generations later when their development and utility still justify the slot.

Best position for Yeonwoo

The strongest trusted position in the current dataset is Back left.

  • Trusted winning positions: Back left.

The starting target map still applies: front left and back left pressure enemy front left, while front right, back middle, and back right pressure enemy front right. Retargeting then follows the closest valid target.

Yeonwoo strengths and limitations

Main strengths

  • Enemy attack speed reduction.
  • Area damage.
  • Burst damage.
  • Self attack.
  • Multi-hit pressure.

Main limitations

  • The hero needs protection and can lose value if removed before the first important cast.
  • Newer generations gain a raw-stat advantage, so continued use depends on development and specialized utility.
