Yi Ling Abilities And Uses For Aberration

Once you’ve located and successfully tamed a Yi Ling—after the somewhat stressful process—you’ll have access to one of the best scouting, hunting, and runner tames on the map. The Yi Ling comes with unique movement abilities, such as flight and wall-latching, along with offensive skills like launching feather projectiles to neutralize threats.

The Yi Ling is undoubtedly a powerful tame, but to make the most of it, you need to understand each ability and how it functions in the game. Here’s a breakdown of the Yi Ling’s abilities:

• Melee Attack: The Yi Ling uses its beak to tear into enemies.
• Fire Feather: Fires barbed quill feathers from its tail that embed themselves into enemies.
• Rupture: TBD (to be determined).
• Cycle Feather Type: Switch between different feather projectile types, including Razor, Volatile, Sedate, Poison, and Slime.
• Toggle Aim Mode: Changes the aiming mode for feather projectiles.
• Dash: Allows a quick dash to close in on enemies. In the air, this provides an upward thrust, allowing you to gain height.
• Glide/Latch: After jumping or falling, hold the space bar to glide through the air. If you glide into a wall, press the space bar to latch onto it.

As you can see, Yi Ling’s varied abilities and feather-type options make it a versatile tame. While its glide isn’t as fast as others and it lacks the durability of more tanky tames, it’s an excellent choice if you need to move quickly through the dense environment of Aberration while still packing a punch.
