I really like this combination of rules, and I look forward to some more difficult puzzles with it. The rules necessitate that you end up with more low-value arrows than usual, which restrict options for both the arrows and the yin yang. I'm not a setter, but something tells me there is a miracle-adjacent puzzle waiting to be made here.

Thanks, I also think YY and arrow is a well matching combo, therfore probably not my last of this kind.
