Class Overview

Hoyoung is a very strong 3-minute thief burst class with a distinct kit unlike any other. Its most notable features include precise movement with the Nimbus Cloud flying skill, various mobility tools like door-teleport, a flexible iframe, and a self-door skill. These tools allow Hoyoung to handle boss interactions that would otherwise be significantly harder—or even unanswerable—for other classes.

Why should I play Hoyoung?

Hoyoung boasts amazing aesthetics and a complete kit for both mobbing and bossing. While most classes can only lazy farm post-Janus/Erda Fountain, Hoyoung can start lazy farming much earlier and still enjoy great coverage thanks to its 2 - 3 extra summons that don’t require fragments to unlock.

In bossing, Hoyoung’s near-complete kit offers solid answers to many boss mechanics that other classes struggle with. Key highlights include:

  • Nimbus Cloud: Precise 360-degree movement that can air stall, making it great for dodging and repositioning.

  • Gate Teleport: Opens creative mobbing rotations and provides hazardous escapes.

  • Pseudo Teleport: A short-cooldown TP-like movement skill.

  • Flexible iframe: A variable-cooldown iframe that’s exceptionally versatile.

  • Movement tools: Flash jump, up jump, and flash jump/cloud reset mechanics for high mobility.

  • Burst Damage: Top-tier burst that thrives in both solo and party settings.

  • Darksight: On demand albeit for 1-2 seconds, serviceable for some hazards.
