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 + Vaporize team comp. 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

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	Yelan	Yun Jin	Zhongli

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

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 Overloaded Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Yoimiya	Fischl	Xingqiu	Bennett

This Yoimiya team comp focuses on dealing damage through elemental reactions, meaning the Crimson Witch set would be more of an ideal build for this party. Fischl and Xingqiu both scale their damage from ATK% and will appreciate the buffs provided by Yoimiya and Bennett. A C6 Fischl has incredible synergy with Yoimiya.

Constellation and Effects

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

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'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.
