Yaoyao with Deepwood Memories is generally her best build as a support healer, 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.

Yaoyao Talent Priority

Support
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.

Recommended Constellations

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.

C2 is Better Energy Restoration

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.

C6 For Mega Radishes

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.

Thoughts About Yaoyao

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Baizhu ImageBaizhu Every time she comes to play with Qiqi, she complains about the taste of medicine and asks me if I have anything that isn't bitter. If the medicine will save someone's life, who cares how bitter it tastes, hmm?
Genshin Impact - Beidou ImageBeidou Yaoyao always comes on board to play when we’re in the harbor. Trouble is, when it’s time for her to go she gives you the puppy eyes, and no-one has the heart to send her away… Means we’re always cutting it quite close by the time we manage to set sail.
Genshin Impact - Ganyu ImageGanyu Yaoyao.... Someone I know at the Ministry of Civil Affairs tasked me with keeping an eye on her in the city, making sure she doesn't try and sneak about the Crux... Oh, you want to know what the Ministry of Civil Affairs does? ... Who knows, am I right!? Heh... Who knows that they do? ... Not me...
Genshin Impact - Ningguang ImageNingguang I presume you mean the girl whom Ganyu has taken under her wing. Do not worry, I have no plans to make this matter public. I am content to extend some leniency to the odd bit of mischievous maneuvering by that boat captain. One thing, though - Yaoyao seems to have become somewhat enamored with seafood lately. You should try to convince her to include some more fruits and vegetables in her diet.
Genshin Impact - Qiqi ImageQiqi Cute. Like a nice little finch.
Genshin Impact - Xiangling ImageXiangling Hee-hee, I'm proud to call her a fellow chef! She hasn't swung by the Wanmin Restaurant in ages, though. Maybe our teacher is trying to protect her from me or something... Last time we hung out I was about to dig into some fresh raw octopus from the Sea of Clouds, but not only did she stop me from eating it, she sent our teacher to tell me off too! Hmm... I'm older, so I'd always seen myself as the senior chef out of the two of us, but sometimes, I'm really not so sure...
Genshin Impact - Xianyun ImageXianyun Yaoyao once pinched my glasses from my face and tried them on for herself, she found it terribly entertaining, and couldn't stop giggling... Ah, children are able to find all sorts of ways to amuse themselves.

Yaoyao's Thoughts About Others

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Baizhu ImageBaizhu About Baizhu
Dr. Baizhu's prescriptions are pretty effective. They're bitter, that's for sure, but they always say that about medicine: "the bitter the better"! So I get it. Huh? Too bitter for you? Don't worry, I've got some Candied Dates here. One of these after you finish your medicine will take the taste away.
Genshin Impact - Beidou ImageBeidou About Beidou
Beidou's ship is amazing! If I hadn't promised Ganyu that I wouldn't go on board anymore, I know exactly where I'd set up my own little bed, hee-hee.
Genshin Impact - Ganyu ImageGanyu About Ganyu
Ganyu always has a lot of work to do. I heard that one time, she was so tired she accidentally fell asleep on the grass. sigh I do worry about her, you know! Hmm, maybe... we could go do a "surprise inspection"! You know, check in and make sure she's taking care of herself. Oh! Uh... Wait a minute. I'll go get some of her favorite plants for her to eat...
Genshin Impact - Keqing ImageKeqing About Keqing
Keqing's a very thoughtful person, and she always does a good job of everything. She also makes sure to pay Master a visit at every festival... She's what you call a "bastion of piety". Or wait, maybe it's "paragon of propriety"? ...Well, anyway, I think I can learn a lot from her!
Genshin Impact - Qiqi ImageQiqi About Qiqi
Friends: Qiqi's my best friend! She forgets who I am sometimes but I know she doesn't mean it... I just have to remind her to check her notebook, and she remembers me right away.
Forever: I once asked Dr. Baizhu in private if there's any way to cure her, and, um... But it doesn't matter. I'll probably have to keep reminding her who I am for my whole life, but that's okay.
Genshin Impact - Shenhe ImageShenhe About Shenhe
Shenhe's been away from the human world for years and years, so it's no wonder that she's still adjusting to life in Liyue Harbor. I'd love to help Ganyu take care of her... But how do I ask her in a way that won't make her feel uncomfortable?
Genshin Impact - Xiangling ImageXiangling About Xiangling
Xiangling hasn't been, um... looking for strange ingredients lately, has she? She gave me a real fright last time. She said she was about to try some raw octopus from the Sea of Clouds. One of these days, she'll give herself an upset stomach — then what's she gonna do? 'Cause she definitely doesn't like taking Dr. Baizhu's medicine... Anyway, I got Master to try and talk some sense into her, too. Who knows what dangerous thing she'll be trying to eat next... *sigh*
Genshin Impact - Xianyun ImageXianyun About Xianyun
When I went to look for Master the other day, I found her chatting with a very elegant-looking lady. She said her name was "Xianyun," but her hijinks didn't fool me! I could tell it was Aunty Cloud Retainer right away! I mean, Master looked like she was really happy to see her, so how could it be a stranger? Evidently, she was an old friend!
Genshin Impact - Yanfei ImageYanfei About Yanfei
Yanfei takes that huge legal codex everywhere, even when she comes to pay Master a visit on her days off. She's incredible! I don't know how she carries that heavy thing around all the time, and I can't imagine how much hard work it must be to read it...
Genshin Impact - Yun Jin ImageYun Jin About Yun Jin
Now, Yun Jin's really good at spear dancing, and her Liyue opera performances are very popular. Master even takes me to go see them sometimes. You won't find an empty seat when she's on stage... but, um... does anyone understand what she's singing about?

Yaoyao saves me the most as SS-healer tier. The key of using her playstyle is just switch to her then BURST SKILL immediately for quick emergency heals to low hp characters. Use E-skill for sub heals to any characters active on field.

Desert sages polearm over favonius if you can get it. I've been using it at r2 instead of an r3 favonius lance and the additional healing is worth the minor decrease in ER. By the end of the event, the ER difference probably won't matter at all at this rate
