In Genshin Impact, Yaoyao is a Dendro Polearm character who specializes in support. Now, of course, you can build her as a DPS or sub-DPS if you want. But generally speaking, her kit makes her a great Dendro applicator and healer, which means she has some flexibility when it comes to who you want her to work with. Here are some artifacts you can put on your Yaoyao in Genshin Impact to maximize its potential as a support!
Memories of deep wood 4 pieces
Deepwood Memories is the set of artifacts you get when you have a Dendro character on your team. The 2 CP effect increases the character’s Dendro DMG by 15% and the 4 CP set reduces the target’s Dendro RES by 30%. If you’re using Yaoyao as support for a Dendro DPS like Alhaitham or using her to apply Dendro for elemental reactions, then this is a great set for her. The Deepwood Memories Complete Set will allow teammates to take full advantage of Dendro’s extremely powerful reactions.
2 CP Millelith Tenacity + 2 CP EM
Since Yaoyao’s healing is reduced from his max HP, you can use the 2 CP Tenacity bonus to increase him. At 2 CP, Millelith’s Tenacity increases a character’s max HP by 20%. Her Elemental Burst works similarly to Sayu, in that she can deal damage at the same time as healing. He can also apply Dendro, which is why you would want to have high elemental mastery on Yaoyao. The artifact sets you can use for EM are Wanderer’s Troupe, Flower of Paradise Lost, and Gilded Dreams. So if you use these artifacts for Yaoyao, that means you will mainly use your Yaoyao for your elemental blast.
4-CP Tenacity of Millelith
You can also use a full Millelith Tenacity on Yaoyao in Impacto Genshin. As mentioned above, this increases your Max HP by 20%. However, when you put four pieces on it, it increases party ATK by 20% and shield strength by 30%. This activates whenever he uses his elemental skill. This makes him a great support character for a more offensive group, even if you don’t have a dedicated protector. Functionally, it would work much like a character with Noblesse Oblige except with her ability instead of her burst.
When choosing artifacts for Yaoyao, you need to decide what you want to use it for. If you want him to focus exclusively on healing, you should focus on his Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, or Healing bonus. If you want Yaoyao to work as a DPS or Dendro sub-applicator, you’ll need Elemental Mastery, Critical Stats, and Energy Refill. Of course, the sky is the limit when it comes to building your characters. You can also try unorthodox builds like a physical attack Yaoyao to take advantage of its fast animations. It would still be a bit more work! In this case, you would need to get sets that increase your ATK or physical ATK. Choose the artifacts that suit your needs and playstyle!
Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC and mobile and as a 4 star character, Yaoyao is still in the gacha party.
