How to Use Yanfei

Collect Scarlet Seals and Enhance Charged Attacks

Using Yanfei's Normal Attacks, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst grants her Scarlet Seals. A successful Normal Attack grants her one Scarlet Seal, while a successful Elemental Skill or Burst grants her the maximum number of Scarlet Seals.

Scarlet Seal Effects

Each Scarlet Seal decreases Yanfei's Stamina consumption. Using a Charged Attack will consume all available Scarlet Seals to deal AoE Pyro DMG in front of her. The more Scarlet Seals the Charged Attack consumes, the larger the AoE and the higher the DMG dealt!

How to Enhance your Charged Attacks

Yanfei's Charged Attacks deal Pyro DMG in the area in front of her. If you manage to collect Yanfei's Scarlet Seals beforehand, her Charged Attack DMG and AoE will be increased. Try to gain the maximum number of Scarlet Skills before you unleash a Charged Attack!

Elemental Skill Creates Scarlet Seals

Her Elemental Skill, Signed Edict, deals AoE Pyro DMG to surrounding enemies. This also gives her Scarlet Seals for every enemy hit (maximum of 3). This provides you with more attacking options, and allow you to deal more Charged Attacks.

Elemental Burst Unleashes Pyro DMG

Her Elemental Burst, Done Deal, unleashes a shower of flames that deal massive Pyro DMG. This also gives her the maximum number of Scarlet Seals, allowing her to deal a strong Charged Attack right away!
