Yoimiya's Stats

Yoimiya Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• One of the best single-target damage dealers versus bosses and other Elite enemies. • Specializes in Normal Attacks from a distance. • Special Charged Attack can be used for homing against farther enemies in the Overworld.
Weaknesses
• As she's only single-target focused, she lacks AoE and would struggle against groups of larger enemies. • She must remain stationary as dodging or moving breaks up her Normal Attack string, which loses a large part of her damage as her largest scaling is on the last part of its combo. • Elemental Burst effect and ATK buffs don't apply to herself without constellations. • Elemental Burst exists solely to fill her downtime, and her Special Charged Attacks is only realistically usable for exploration, but both abilities are otherwise inessential to her Normal Attacks, which makes up the bulk of her damage.

Yoimiya Best Builds

Yoimiya Main DPS Builds

Normal Attack Main DPS

Best Weapon	Thundering Pulse
Replacement Weapons	1. Polar Star 2. Aqua Simulacra 3. Rust
Best Artifacts	Shimenawa's Reminiscence x4
Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate. ATK%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge

This is currently the best Main DPS build for Yoimiya. This is at a cost of not being able to use her Elemental Burst reliably off cooldown but is less of an issue for Sub-DPS characters that don't need the ATK% buff from Yoimiya's burst (like Yelan). Though the Echoes set could fix the issue, its rng nature makes it too unreliable.

Pyro Reactions DPS

Best Weapon	Thundering Pulse
Replacement Weapons	1. Polar Star 2. Aqua Simulacra 3. Rust
Best Artifacts	Crimson Witch of Flames x4
Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate. ATK%, Elemental Mastery

This build for Yoimiya takes advantage of her Pyro-infused normal attacks from her Elemental Skill. It's slightly behind in damage compared to the Shimenawa set, but outshines it when using an Overloaded or Vaporize team comp, as long as you have characters like Chevreuse or Xingqiu. This also lets you use her Burst more!

Mix and Match Set

Best Weapon	Thundering Pulse
Replacement Weapons	1. Polar Star 2. Aqua Simulacra 3. Rust
Best Artifacts	Shimenawa's Reminiscence x2 Crimson Witch of Flames x2
Main Stats	Sands: ATK%
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate. ATK%

Mixing different 2pc. sets together for Yoimiya can be a good middle ground when you don't want to farm for complete sets, especially if you already have perfect substats for each piece.

Yoimiya Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Normal Attack	Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill

Normal Attacks are the primary source of Yoimiya's damage, so it should be maxed out first. Her Elemental Burst has more utility compared to her Elemental skill, but each should be leveled up somewhat equally.

Yoimiya Best Team Comp

Yoimiya needs to be on-field to deal most of her damage. She will need to have good Sub-DPS teammates who can provide off-field damage with strong elemental application.

Yoimiya Reverse-Vaporize Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Yoimiya	Xingqiu	Bennett	Yun Jin
Yoimiya	Yelan	Yun Jin	Zhongli

Yelan provides strong off-field Hydro DMG and buffs while Yun Jin or Bennett applies a very strong buffs for Yoimiya. Zhongli provides a strong shield and applies a universal damage resistance decrease on enemies.

Yoimiya Overloaded Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Yoimiya	Yae Miko	Fischl	Chevreuse

This Yoimiya team comp focuses on dealing damage through Overloaded, but you will need Chevreuse for this specific team comp. You may also use Bennett to add more buffs for Yoimiya.

Yoimiya Reverse-Vaporize Anemo Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Yoimiya	Yelan	Kazuha	Thoma

This Anemo Reverse Vaporize team will have Kazuha absorb Hydro in his Elemental Burst. After, swap to Thoma to apply pyro with his Elemental Burst and then swap back to Kazuha to use his Elemental Skill to Swirl Pyro. This is to ensure Yoimiya gets full Pyro Buffs from Kazuha's Viridescent Venerer Set.

Yoimiya Reverse-Vaporize F2P Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Yoimiya	Xingqiu	Yun Jin	Thoma

This is a more free to play friendly team for Yoimiya's ideal team comp. Yun Jin can be replaced with Bennett if you need her somewhere else. This build also works wonders if you have Thoma at C6.

Yoimiya Best Constellations

Carassius Auratus

Constellation and Effects

	Yoimiya's Constellations
C1	Agate Ryuukin The Aurous Blaze created by Ryuukin Saxifrage lasts for an extra 4s. Additionally, when an opponent affected by Aurous Blaze is defeated within its duration, Yoimiya's ATK is increased by 20% for 20s.
C2	A Procession of Bonfires When Yoimiya's Pyro DMG scores a CRIT Hit, Yoimiya will gain a 25% Pyro DMG Bonus for 6s. This effect can be triggered even when Yoimiya is not the active character.
C3	Trickster's Flare Increases the Level of Niwabi Fire-Dance by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Pyrotechnic Professional When Yoimiya's own Aurous Blaze triggers an explosion, Niwabi Fire-Dance's CD is decreased by 1.2s.
C5	A Summer Festival's Eve Increases the Level of Ryuukin Saxifrage by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Naganohara Meteor Swarm During Niwabi Fire-Dance, Yoimiya's Normal Attacks have a 50% chance of firing an extra Kindling Arrow that deals 60% of its original DMG. This DMG is considered Normal Attack DMG.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• Elemental Burst can now directly benefit Yoimiya. • Not as useful against Boss type enemies.
C2	★★★	• Amazing Constellation thanks to her high Pyro application. • Her Elemental Burst reaction counts towards her own damage, which will buff its damage.

C2 Does the Most Damage

Unlocking Yoimiya's second constellation is a good stopping point for unlocking most of her potential. Her C6 may look tempting, but keep in mind that it is still rng dependent.

How to Use Yoimiya

Use Elemental Skill to Deal Pyro DMG

Yoimiya's Elemental Skill, Niwabi-Fire Dance, imbues her Normal Attacks with Pyro for a short period of time. Use this Talent as often as you can to get the most out of Yoimiya's Normal Attack DMG!

Elemental Burst Deals AoE DMG & Buffs the Party

Yoimiya's Elemental Burst deals AoE Pyro DMG to surrounding enemies and marks one of the enemies hit with Aurous Blaze. It also buffs other party members' ATK% if her Passive Talent, Summer-Night's Dawn, is unlocked.

What is Aurous Blaze?

Excluding Yoimiya, all party members' attacks on an enemy marked with Aurous Blaze will deal AoE Pyro DMG. Once a marked enemy is defeated, the Aurous Blaze mark is then passed onto another nearby enemy.

Hunt Animals Easily with Charged Attacks

Yoimiya's Charged Attack Level 2 can home in on moving targets. This makes hunting down wild animals like birds and boars easier as even if they run away, they can still get hit by the arrows.

Refunds Furnishing Materials

When Yoimiya is used to craft Furnishings, she can refund a portion of materials used. This makes the most out of your Furnishing crafting materials, and helps you save up to create more!

Yoimiya Talents (Skills)

Normal Attack: Firework Flare-Up

Talent Description

Performs up to 5 consecutive shots with a bow. Charge Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, flames will accumulate on the arrowhead before being fired off as an attack. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged: • Charge Level 1: Fires off a flaming, arrow that deals Pyro DMG. • Charge Level 2: Generates a maximum of 3 Kindling Arrows based on time spent charging, releasing them as part of this Aimed Shot. Kindling Arrows will home in on nearby opponents, dealing Pyro DMG on hit. Plunge Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE upon impact.

Niwabi Fire-Dance

Talent Description

Yoimiya waves a sparkler and causes a ring of saltpeter to surround her. Niwabi Enshou During this time, arrows fired by Yoimiya's Normal Attack will be Blazing Arrows, and their DMG will be increased and converted to Pyro DMG. During this time, Normal Attack: Firework Flare-Up will not generate Kindling Arrows at Charge Level 2. This effect will deactivate when Yoimiya leaves the field. Flavor Text: "Niwabi" is a form of incense firework created by Yoimiya herself. Its ability to be lit without any prior training or preparation has made it a real hit. After many fire-related incidents, the Tenryou Commission ordered the use of "Niwabi" banned, but small, bright sparks can often still be seen springing up at night. If seen from above, they look almost like little twinkling stars.

Ryuukin Saxifrage

Talent Description

Yoimiya leaps into the air along with her original creation, the "Ryuukin Saxifrage," and fires forth blazing, rockets bursting with surprises that deal AoE Pyro DMG and mark one of the hit opponents with Aurous Blaze. Aurous Blaze All Normal/Charged/Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts by any party member other than Yoimiya that hit an opponent marked by Aurous Blaze will deal AoE Pyro DMG. When an opponent affected by Aurous Blaze is defeated before its duration expires, the effect will pass on to a nearby opponent, who will inherit the remaining duration. One Aurous Blaze can be triggered every 2s. When Yoimiya is down, Aurous Blaze effects will be deactivated. Flavor Text: Fireworks are man-made starlight, comets fired into the sky. Though they last for but an instant, the memory of their brilliance shall surely live on.

Tricks of the Trouble-Maker

Talent Description
During Niwabi Fire-Dance, shots from Yoimiya's Normal Attack will increase her Pyro DMG Bonus by 2% on hit. This effect lasts for 3s and can have a maximum of 10 stacks.

Summer-Night's Dawn

Talent Description
Using Ryuukin Saxifrage causes nearby party members (not including Yoimiya) to gain a 10% ATK increase for 15s. Additionally, a further ATK Bonus will be added on based on the number of "Tricks of the Trouble-Maker" stacks when using Ryuukin Saxifrage. Each stack increases this ATK Bonus by 1%.

Blazing Match

Talent Description
When Yoimiya crafts Decoration, Ornament, and Landscape-type Furnishings, she has a 100% chance to refund a portion of the materials used.

Yoimiya's In-Game Information

Character Thoughts on Yoimiya

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Ayaka	The Yashiro Commission and the shrine maidens are responsible for festival affairs, and Yoimiya, as a fireworks expert, knows how to create and atmosphere. So we have become well acquainted with her over the years. Hmm? Public order and fire prevention? We factor these concerns in well in advance during the planning stage. To deny people the chance to see fireworks simply for these reasons would leave them feeling very disappointed.
Ayato	Ah, the fireworks store owner. Yes, a most... spirited young lady. The Kamisato Clan is on rather close terms with her. She is around the same age as Ayaka, and the two get along very well. I trust her direct and outspoken disposition won't lead Ayaka astray. Ayaka has always been staunchily true to herself, ever since she was a young child.
Itto	Hmph, she's always showing off her fancy fireworks and toys to the kids. Well, I'm sick of it! Nobody steals my thunder! I'm the one that's supposed to be adored by the kids! Me! That goes for you too, you're siding with me on this, okay... Huh? Whaddya mean, you're not a kid? Eh, details. If you're shorter than me, you're a kid as far I'm concerned.
Kazuha	The last time she commissioned Captain Beidou to ship fireworks to Liyue, I unloaded the shipment myself. They were so heavy! I doubt that anyone besides her could make such huge fireworks.
Sara	As long as she's not setting off fireworks in my camp, I will cause her no trouble. Heh, yes I know — all else aside, her fireworks are spectacular and brilliant, and she deserves all the praise she gets. The issue for me is that fireworks are fleeting in nature. After one brief moment of dazzling light, all that remains is the pitch-black night sky, the same as before. So I often have to caution myself not to become too captivated by this illusory spectacle. It is transient, but Inazuma is eternal, and my mission is to protect Inazuma.
Sayu	Every time she sees me she says, "Hey, little tanuki! Let's go hang out at the festival." Firstly, I'm not a tanuki. Secondly, I don't wanna go to a festival. Thirdly, she says she wants to hang out — but really, she just wants me to do a ninjutsu performance during the fireworks show. That's not even related to my work for the Shuumatsuban!
Thoma	Of Naganohara Fireworks fame? She's so easy to get along with. Super straightforward, just says whatever she thinks. Oh, and Naganohara fireworks are just incredible, you should take every chance you get to see them in action. Ah, on that note — here, have a coupon!
Yae Miko	Naganohara fireworks are well worth the wait every year. Word is that she caused quite an uproar among the Tenryou Commission recently by setting off fireworks all over the place. Heh, I'm sure the members of the Kujou Clan must've turned purple with rage... A pity that I couldn't be there to see it for myself.
