First XIV character to make a comeback and we just witnessed a character with the most ridiculous self cap up ever.

I tried 5 or 6 teams to varying degree of success with Yda. I don't have Kadaj/Arciela/Cissnei etc to make it the most optimal thing ever, so I just went with whatever some of the closest styles that you can use with Yda.

Also this boss seems to have a bug where one of them can suddenly regenerate health to 100%. It happened twice during my tests, so it is not an uncommon thing. Though the first time it happened (which was also my first clear), Yda just punched it back to 0 during BT. So it was more a funny occurrence than and annoying one. I would have attached a clip had this not been 14m already.

Boss is not awfully interesting, so I will say more about Yda this time.

Boss: Needle Snake
Force:
0%: BRV gain after action
FA: Shattering Shot (AOE Magic BRV+HP)
- can be dodged

FT: 10T
- ban player BRV gain entirely

Weakness: (cancels FT)
- FA that deals melee BRV dmg

No significant HP threshold mechanics as far as I know.

Regarding Yda:
Before going into the caps and team comps, here are some of the basic things about the current Yda:
AOE:
Yda has some hard hitting AOE options, but they may not be always available through normal means. LD undoubtedly hits the hardest (12 full AOE), followed by EX (8). FR is actually a 5 big cap AOE as well instead of the normal 4, so you will find that her echo hits much harder than most characters.

ST:
S1 (12) and S2 (9) are your bread and butter. No changes made to HP+++, so if you are doing something like Ydaroth, your dmg will be coming from skills and off-turns from others.
No, the HP poison did not get changed.

Caps:
The most ridiculous thing about Yda now is that her HP caps, especially the self ones are ridiculously high. FR gives 50% to the team as long as the target is broken or going to be, not just melee characters. BT gives the standard 30% team cap up, but then she gets a 2 stack buff for herself as well. All stat gains for herself (BRV/HP and their caps) are doubled every time she moves, so in the end her BT gives her 150% cap up(the team cap included).
Also, there is an added effect to her LD such that she just has a constant 20% HP dmg cap up.
Combining all these, with HA+3 (25%), UW+5 (40%), FE 50 (30%) and not counting crystal passives, you will be looking at a +315% cap Yda on her own when she is using anything other than S1/S2.

Therefore there are a lot of ways you can go about playing with Yda:
1. Additional dmg buffers:
Weiss/Lunafreya/Arciela or to a lesser degree, Leo/Iroha will just give you a lot of extra dmg with a proportional % to such a high cap. I would argue that Arciela is probably better than Weiss, because no only her % is higher, she also does not have a preemptive strike that prevents Yda from using her HP+++ to break enemies.

2. Preemptive Strikers + Fujin Launches
Such is what this run is. Since Yda does not go the route of having a follow-up after launches, that means you can just frontload all dmg using her fat cap attacks and preemptive strikes from someone like Weiss or Cor and get a fat 20% all dmg buff from Fujin's Wall Rush boost.
I have had a 700m session with Cor/Weiss/Yda actually.

3. Possible 600K Yda with Enna Kros
Suffice to say, her cap is already at +315% on her own. So 500K Yda is just ... a natural occurrence. She can actually get to 600K with Enna Kros + 1. You just need an extra 60% cap from a character, summon, crystal passives or a combination of these.

4. LD spammer
Since Yda LD is her strongest attack, crystal passive U6 can be used to get the most dmg from Yda. You get +2 LD uses with 20% cap up when using LD. So you can have a Lunafreya giving her the turns with Enna Kros. Spam all those 600K LDs and .... profit.

5. EX spammer (BT phase)
I went with this route in this run. Since Fujin is there to cause launches, I can even spare a slot for Enna Kros LDCA and use it with U4 to get the most EX procs for AOE dmg in BT phase. This should get you the most AOE dmg if you go for the BT route, since U6 cannot give you +2 LD inside the phase.

6. Off-turn dmg
Even though her HP+++ is not upgraded, you can still go this route before or after FT. FR retention exists now, so for someone like Kadaj, Cissnei and Arciela having only a 6T BT effect, you can get a lot just by spamming turns with Yda.
Also Ydaroth is not the only way, you can also use Iris now with her 0 mBRV effect.

Regarding Lunafreya:
I intend to do another one for Luna. She was in 2 of my other runs, but I did not upload them because she does not go well with Yda FR.

Luna's major touch up, other than pure HP attack bumps, comes in the form of her Heavy buff and FR.

Her Heavy buff now naturally gives 10% HP dmg cap up while lasting for 5T, 6 with BT. So you can use this buff to cover an entire BT phase now.

Her FR now gives a total of 100% if you can buff while you attack. Very strong if done correctly.
