Yaoyao is a dendro healer that provides solid assistance for a variety of team configurations. Deepwood Memories is Yaoyao's finest artifact set, while Favonius Lance is her strongest weapon. We advise constructing her with an emphasis on HP to increase her healing effectiveness and energy recharge to enable her to explode more frequently.

You may opt to develop her as a reaction driver with an emphasis on elemental mastery if you're feeling adventurous and have access to another healer or a powerful shielder on your squad . She is a very adaptable little person with a ton of promise.

Yaoyao's elemental skill, elemental burst, and regular attack should be ranked in order of priority while leveling up her talents. If you can, it's recommended raising her to level 90 so you can maximize her healing and reaction-triggering potential.

Yaoyao: How to Use It

Yaoyao is a dendro polearm user with four stars who is most useful in a supporting role. She is an excellent utility option for elemental response teams as she can inflict AoE dendro damage and heal teammates with her ability and burst.

Generally speaking, in battle, you should swap to her and utilize her elemental talent anytime Yuegui runs out so you can continue to apply dendro and heals .

When it comes to her burst, we advise keeping her on the field throughout her active phase so that she may maximize the radishes that her Starscatter passive throws out by literally sprinting and hopping.

Which Genshin Impact Yaoyao weapon is the best?

Yaoyao has a somewhat expensive burst and is quite energy-hungry. Therefore, the Favonius Lance is our preferred weapon choice since it enables her to regenerate particles more quickly, particularly if she's the only dendro character on the squad.

As an alternative, the greatest all-around polearm for almost any character is Staff of Homa, which also works well for Yaoyao. Even so, it's a fiercely disputed weapon that you may be better off using on one of your more powerful damage dealers.

For more good four-star choices outside of Together with Yaoyao, Favonius, Dragon's Bane, Kitain Cross Spear, and Moonpiercer all provide elemental mastery to increase the damage of her elemental responses.

Weapon Effect
Favonius Lance Bonus stat: energy recharge
Skill: crit hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of elemental particles, which regenerate six energy for the active character. This can only occur once every 12 seconds
Staff of Homa Bonus stat: crit damage
Skill: increases HP by 20%, and provides an attack bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder’s max HP. When the wielder’s HP drops to less than 50%, the attack bonus increases by an additional 1% of their max HP
Dragon’s Bane Base stat: elemental mastery
Skill: increases the damage you deal to enemies affected by hydro or pyro by 20%
Kitain Cross Spear Base stat: elemental mastery
Skill: increases elemental skill damage by 6%. After the wielder’s elemental skill hits an opponent, the wielder loses three energy but regenerates three energy every two seconds for the next six seconds. This effect can occur once every ten seconds, even when the character is not on the field
Moonpiercer Base stat: elemental mastery
Skill: after triggering burning, quicken, aggravate, spread, bloom, hyperbloom, or burgeon, summon a leaf of revival around the character for a maximum of ten seconds. When you pick up the leaf, it grants the character 16% attack for 12 seconds. You can only generate one leaf this way every 20 seconds. You can trigger this effect even if the character isn’t on the field

Which Genshin Impact Yaoyao relics are the best?

If no one else on your team is wearing that set, Yaoyao is an excellent choice for a Deepwood Memories holder since it provides a team-wide benefit that lowers opponent dendro resistance. But much as with Noblesse Oblige, if you have many characters on your squad with this set equipped, the effect won't stack.A complete set of Tenacity of the Millelith is a fantastic substitute as it offers Yaoyao a team-wide attack and shield boost in addition to increasing her HP, which enhances her healing. As an alternative, you may combine if your Yaoyao constellation is low and you truly want to increase her healing capacity.two pieces of the healing set similar to the Ocean-Hued Clam and two pieces of Tenacity of the Milelith.Check out our Genshin Impact artifacts guide for additional details on the current artifact sets that are available in the game.

Deepwood Memories Two equipped: dendro damage bonus +15%
Four equipped: after elemental skills or bursts hit opponents, the targets’ dendro resistance decreases by 30% for eight seconds. You can trigger this effect even if the equipping character is not on the field
Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain in Sumeru
Tenacity of the Millelith Two equipped: HP +20%
Four equipped: when you hit an opponent with an elemental skill, increase all nearby party members’ attack by 20%, and their shield strength by 30% for three seconds. You can trigger this effect once every 0.5 seconds, even if the wielder is not on the field
Ridge Watch domain on Bishui Plain, Liyue

Recommendations for artifact stats

Yaoyao may play a support role and her two most helpful stats are HP and energy recharge, which both assist her heal as much as possible. You should actually need to refresh her energy by roughly 200% if she's the only powerful character in your team so that she can explode every rotation.When it comes to team flexibility and powerful heals, her major stats that are most appropriate are HP%, energy recharge, and healing bonus. You may also choose to use a crit rate circlet to more consistently activate its passive if you equip her with the Favonius Lance.As an alternative, To maximize Yaoyao's dendro cores, you may instead outfit her with the whole set of elemental mastery main-stat artifacts if you're utilizing her in a hyperbloom squad. But bear in mind that you will be giving up heels, and the dendro cores might still hurt you.Principal statistics:
  • Sands: HP%, energy recharge, or elemental mastery
  • Goblet: HP% or elemental mastery
  • Circlet: HP%, energy recharge, crit rate, or elemental mastery
Sub-stats:
  • Energy recharge
  • HP%
  • Elemental mastery
  • Crit rate/crit damage
  • Flat HP

Which Genshin Impact Yaoyao team competitors are the best?

Yaoyao can fit into a variety of team compositions because to her excellent dendro application and healing.Our favorite lineup is Ayato, Raiden, Nahida, and Yaoyao in a quickswap rotation. We personally like starting Yaoyao on a hyperbloom squad.For this team, we advise using the skills of Raiden, Ayato, and Nahida, then switching to Yaoyao to use her burst. You can just let Yuegui do that mouthwatering hyperbloom damage in this scenario, restoring your teammates to full HP and recharging Raiden's burst in the process.Alhaitham, Xingqiu, Raiden, and Yaoyao make up another excellent hyperbloom combination that functions similarly, with the attractive Grand Sage requiring a little longer field time to maximize his mirror damage.To take use of Nilou's amazing bloom buffs, you may combine Yaoyao with Nilou, Nahida, and either Ayato, Yelan, or Xingqiu if you'd want something a little more bloom-focused. If you want more offensive dendro applications, you may also replace Nahida with Alhaitham.Ayato, Xingqiu, and Yelan are excellent candidates for this character. Yaoyao also works well with Genshin Impact's Kaveh, Nilou, and another hydro character. Kaveh's kit makes it easy for him to shatter all of those dendro cores.Yaoyao really has a world of choices. However, we usually advise against using her on freeze teams since dendro doesn't respond well to cryo, and it would be a waste of her primary utility. Instead, let her friend handle those cryo heals.Qiqi of Genshin Impact. Here are some examples of our best Yaoyao team competitions.
