Yaoyao's Strengths |
---|
• Elemental Skill deals off-field Dendro damage while healing the active character. • C1 provides a Dendro DMG Buff. • Dendro Resistance from her Elemental Burst helps a lot in reducing self-inflicted Dendro Core damage. • Passive talent lets you sneak up on some wildlife. |
Yaoyao's Weaknesses |
• High energy cost for her Elemental Burst. • Elemental Skill does not heal off-field characters. • Swapping out of Yaoyao's Elemental Burst state will end it early and remove the summoned Yuguei's. • Damage and Healing split scales with ATK and HP respectively. |

Yaoyao with Deepwood Memories is generally her best build, especially when paired with other Dendro characters. Having Yaoyao use the Deepwood Memories gives your other Dendro character more damage-dealing Artifact options.
Feel free to use a CRIT Circlet to help the Favonious Lance trigger its passive more consistently.

Yaoyao can use the Tenacity of the Millelith if another party member needs to use Deepwood Memories set.
This set can also be used in Aggravate team comps where providing more ATK% to the Electro Main DPS is far more valuable than increasing Yaoyao's damage.

Yaoyao has the potential to create a lot of Dendro cores during her Elemental Burst when against multiple enemies. This build is tailored more for a Nilou team where she acts as a second Dendro character to trigger blooms.

1st | Elemental Skill |
2nd | Elemental Burst |
3rd | Normal Attack |
Yaoyao's Elemental Skill and Burst should be the main priority as her healing will increase when both talents are leveled up. Yaoyao's Normal Attacks aren't really needed unless you plan to use her Normal Attacks while on-field.

This Yaoyao team focuses on creating Bountiful Cores with Nilou on the team. A healer like Yaoyao and the damage reduction from Xingqiu are important as the Bountiful Cores can also damage your active character!
Candace enables Yaoyao to be viable in Nilou Bloom teams as Candace can infuse Yaoyao's polearm with Hydro, letting her constantly apply Hydro while Yaoyao's Elemental burst is active.

This Yaoyao team focuses on the Hyperbloom reaction. Along with Yaoyao, you must have at least one Hydro and one Electro character to create Dendro Cores and the Hyperbloom reaction respectively.
Raiden and Shinobu are perfect Hyperbloom triggers as they can periodically deal AoE Electro damage while off-field to hit Dendro Cores.

Yaoyao's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Adeptus' Tutelage When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will gain 15% Dendro DMG Bonus for 8s and have 15 Stamina restored to them. This form of Stamina Restoration can only be triggered every 5s. |
C2 |
Innocent While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent, if White Jade Radish explosions damage opponents, 3 Energy will be restored to Yaoyao. This form of Energy regeneration can occur once every 0.8s. |
C3 |
Loyal and Kind Increases the Level of Raphanus Sky Cluster by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Winsome After using Raphanus Sky Cluster or Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao's Elemental Mastery will be increased based on 0.3% of her Max HP for 8s. The maximum Elemental Mastery she can gain this way is 120. |
C5 |
Compassionate Increases the Level of Moonjade Descent by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15 |
C6 |
Beneficent For every 2 White Jade Radishes Yuegui: Throwing Mode throws out, the next throw will also release a Mega Radish that will have a larger AoE than the standard White Jade Radish and have the following effects upon exploding: · Deals AoE Dendro DMG based on 75% of Yaoyao's ATK. · Restores HP for the active character based on 7.5% of Yaoyao's Max HP. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C2 | ★★★ |
• Restore 3 Energy by having White Jade Radishes hit enemies during Yaoyao's Elemental Burst. • Decreases required Energy Recharge for Yaoyao. |
C4 | ★★☆ | • Gives bonus Elemental Mastery to Yaoyao after using Skill or Burst. |
C6 | ★★★ |
• Yuegui can now throw Mega Radishes that can heal a lot more HP and deal more DMG to enemies. • Improved Dendro application. |
Yaoyao's energy cost for her Elemental Burst requires a whopping 80 Energy. Unlocking her first two constellations will allow you to build her with less Energy Recharge stats.
After unlocking the final constellation, Yaoyao will be able to summon Mega Radishes that can provide more healing and damage compared to the regular White Jade Radish.
The Mega Radish will also provide more AoE, making it easier to apply Dendro to enemies.
Yaoyao's Elemental Skill summons Yuegui, a device that throws White Jade Radishes that heals party members and deals damage to enemies. The White Jade Radish's healing will scale based on Yaoyao's max HP.
The target of Yuegui will depend on certain conditions while in combat.
Target | Conditions |
---|---|
Player | • If your on-field character is below 70% HP. |
Enemy | • If your on-field character is above 70% HP and If there are nearby enemies. |
Random | • If your on-field character is above 70% HP and if there are no enemies around. |
Yaoyao's Elemental Burst when activated, deals Dendro DMG to opponents and unleashes an Adeptal Legacy State.
Adeptal Legacy gives multiple effects to Yaoyao and her White Jade Radishes:
Adeptal Legacy Effects | |
---|---|
1 | White Jade Radishes can now heal off-field characters. |
2 | Summons up to 3 more Yuegui devices. |
3 | White Jade Radish is now considered as Elemental Burst DMG. |
4 | Boosts Yaoyao's Movement SPD and Dendro Resistance. |
Keep in mind that swapping to a different character while Yaoyao is using her Elemental Burst will end the Adeptal Legacy State and also remove all 3 summoned Yugeui's.
When Yaoyao is on her Adeptal Legacy state, she will constantly throw White Jade Radishes at nearby opponents when she is sprinting, jumping, or running.
When White Jade Radishes explode, characters within the Radish's AoE will regain HP based on a percentage of Yaoyao’s Max HP.
Just like Sayu, Yaoyao in the party can allow you to approach creatures such as Crystalflies without having to startle them.
