Genshin Impact Yaoyao Best Build Guide

Yaoyao is a four-star Dendro user and a polearm wielder in Genshin Impact, whom you can build as a healer or Dendro support. Yaoyao's Elemental Skill makes her a great off-field single target healer, making her the perfect fit for team compositions built around single DPS units.

While the learning curve for Yaoyao's abilities is easy for players who have knowledge of the different stats, scalings, and Elemental Reactions, some players miss out on drawing true potential out of Yaoyao as they use random weapons and artifacts.

Seeing that, we prepared a detailed Yaoyao build guide that covers Yaoyao's abilities while sharing the best weapons and artifacts that you can use to build her as a healer or Dendro support unit.

Genshin Impact Yaoyao Healer Build

To build Yaoyao as a healer, you must focus on her Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster, where she summons 'Yuegui: Throwing Mode', which throws White Jade Radishes at nearby enemies that deal AoE Dendro damage. If you are within the AoE, you will heal based on Yaoyao's max HP.

The best part about having Yaoyao as a healer in your party is that she serves her purpose even by being off-field. Once you use her Elemental Skill, you can switch to any other character that needs healing or your DPS unit to deal with the enemy while getting healed.

To create the best Yaoyao healer build, we will focus on weapons and artifacts that raise her max HP stat. And as for attack, you must focus on upgrading Raphanus Sky Cluster skill to level 8 or higher as soon as possible.

Best Weapons For Yaoyao Healer Build In Genshin Impact

As we said earlier, when you are building Yaoyao as a healer, weapons that increase HP% are the best ones to go with. And the weapons that fit the requirement are:

• Black Tassel - Yes! Now Zhongli is not the only character with whom you can use Black Tassel. The best free-to-play weapon for a Yaoyao healer build is Black Tassel, as it increases her HP by 46.9% at level 90.
• Staff of Homa - While the Staff of Homa doesn't have a secondary stat bonus as HP%, its weapon skill, 'Reckless Cinnabar', increases HP by 20% while providing an ATK bonus based on the wielder's max HP stat. You can further increase the obtained ATK bonus if the wielder's HP is less than 50%.

Whether you are a free-to-play player or not, we recommend using the Black Tassel for a Yaoyao healer build. But if you lack ATK power and have the Staff of Homa, you can use it to balance things out.

Best Artifacts For Yaoyao Healer Build In Genshin Impact

    • Spread: Provides damage bonus.
• Bloom: Elemental Reaction triggered when you combine Dendro and Hydro attacks.
  • Similar to Quicken, Bloom also has two sub Elemental Reactions:
    • Hyperbloom: It transforms Dendro Core into a homing Sprawling Shot that deals AoE Dendro damage.
    • Burgeon: It detonates the Dendro Core created by Bloom reaction, dealing increased AoE Dendro damage.
• Burning: Elemental Reaction triggered when you combine Dendro and Pyro attacks.
