The Global October 21, 2026 update adjusted Skill 1, Tragic Beauty, increasing both its base damage and the damage of the enhanced basic attack that follows. The useful distinction is that these are two separate damage components.
What changed
The official notes put Skill 1 base damage at 250, plus 50 per skill level and 42% Magical Attack before the update; it became 275, plus 55 per skill level and 45% Magical Attack. Enhanced basic attack damage moved from 150, plus 30 per skill level and 20% Magical Attack, to 175, plus 35 per skill level and 25% Magical Attack. These refer to the skill’s level, not the hero’s overall level.
A level-one example
At Skill 1 level one with 400 Magical Attack, calculate one instance of each announced component: the skill base component changes from 418 to 455, and the enhanced attack from 230 to 275. Together that is 648 before versus 730 after. This is arithmetic from the notes, not a gameplay test, full combo or final damage result; hits, target defense and other effects can change the outcome.
Remember the following attack
The publisher describes Yuhuan as a mage whose melodies can attack enemies or protect teammates. The enhanced attack means the adjustment extends beyond the moment of casting. When positioning makes it safe to land that attack, it has its own value; when the distance or situation is unfavorable, staying safe may matter more. This is an editorial reading of the kit, not a measured win-rate claim.
Protection remains a separate concern
The publisher also says Yuhuan’s ultimate makes her untargetable during its effect, helping her avoid damage. The October 21 Yuhuan entry changes Skill 1 damage; it does not establish a healing or ultimate buff. Whether to focus on support or damage still depends on the team’s situation and current in-game skill text.
Scope of this guide
This analysis uses the October 21 all-server Global update and publisher character information, not the Chinese-server patch or another game. The arithmetic does not predict rankings, item performance or match outcomes. Check later notices and your server’s in-game text for subsequent balance changes.
