Support slotVerinaCompletes the team

Yuanwu supports Jinhsi alongside Verina. Jinhsi wants a coordinated attacker to feed her burst window. Youhu is a specialist sustain for Zhezhi or Yinlin because her Outro amplifies their Coordinated Attacks; she is not a generic replacement in every Jinhsi team.
