Yoimiya

Roles

  • On-Field DPS

  • Off-Field DPS (Elemental Burst)

  • Support: Buffer (A4)

Character Breakdown

  • When peforming her Charged Attack there are 2 charge levels. At Charge level 1, she fires off a flaming arrow. At level 2, she can generate up to 3 Kindling Arrows based on charge time, which will home onto nearby enemies.

  • Elemental Skill increases Yoimiya's Normal Attack DMG and converts it to Pyro DMG, which cannot be overridden and ends early if Yoimiya leaves the field.

  • Elemental Burst deals AoE Pyro DMG and marks an opponent hit with Aurous Blaze.

    • Excluding Yoimiya, whenever a character hits an enemy marked with Aurous Blaze it will trigger an explosion and deal extra Pyro AoE DMG. The mark is transferred to another enemy if they are defeated before the duration her Elemental Burst ends.

  • A1 increases Yoimiya’s Pyro DMG during her Elemental Skill duration by 2% per hit, which lasts for 3 seconds and stacks up to 10 times.

  • A4 allows Yoimiya to give other team members a 10% ATK buff after using her Elemental Burst. A further buff to ATK is given based on the number of stacks Yoimiya has gained from her A1.

Additional Notes

  • She cannot charge kindling arrows when her Elemental Skill is active.

  • The explosion from her Elemental Burst can only be triggered once every 2 seconds.

  • Her 1st, 3rd, and 5th Normal Attack can react with elements leaving a potential for Vaporize or Melt reactions.

Works Well With

  • Ganyu’s Elemental Burst can trigger Melt reactions with Yoimiya’s Elemental Skill and Burst.

  • Xingqiu’s Elemental Skill and Burst help to protect Yoimiya with DMG Reduction and RES to interruption, as well enable Vaporize reactions with his Elemental Burst. It also triggers her Elemental Burst DMG on enemies marked with Aurous Blaze while being Off-Field.

  • Beidou’s Elemental Burst synergizes well with Yoimiya's Normal Attacks, causing Overload Elemental Reactions that helps teams using Yoimiya deal AoE DMG. This is useful as Yoimiya's kit is primarily geared towards single target DMG.

  • Bennett's Elemental Burst provides healing and a massive ATK buff, making him a recommended character in most teams. He can also provide Pyro Resonance which buffs ATK.

  • He can act as an Energy Battery for Yoimiya, recharging her Elemental Burst faster.

  • As with all Elemental DMG DPS characters, Anemo supports and Zhongli works well by reducing the enemies' Elemental RES with Viridescent Venerer 4-set or Zhongli's Jade Shield. Anemo characters often also supply useful Crowd Control abilities or other buffs.

  • Albedo provides Elemental Mastery buff when using his Elemental Burst.

  • Buffs Yoimiya's Normal Attacks.

Does Not Work Well With

  • Mona’s Omen debuff from her Elemental Burst lasts for only a few seconds.

  • Mona cannot apply Hydro as often as Xingqiu which will result in Yoimiya triggering Vaporize inconsistently.

  • Other Cryo characters cannot apply Off-Field Cryo as often as Ganyu which will result in Yoimiya being unable to Melt as consistently.

  • Diona and Rosaria could work, but should only be used if Ganyu isn't available.

Teams

Overload (Pyro)

  • With other Electro characters applying Electro to enemies, Yoimiya can use her Elemental Skill and then her Normal Attacks to create Overload reactions.

  • Beidou's Elemental Burst in particular helps with dealing AoE DMG to enemies which makes up for Yoimiya's DMG primarily being single target. A second Electro character like Fischl is often also used to provide Electro Resonance and recharge Beidou's Elemental Burst faster.

Vaporize (Pyro)

  • Xingqiu’s Elemental Burst applies Hydro on enemies whenever Yoimiya performs a Normal Attack, which allows for Vaporize reactions if Yoimiya's Elemental Skill is active. It additionally triggers Yoimiya's Aurous Blaze on marked enemies.
