Yoimiya (your local pyrotechnician that’s obsessed with fireworks)
Element: Pyro
Weapon: Bow
Pros:
| Consistent Pyro procs | Low E CD | Strong self-buffs |
|---|---|---|
| Has CRIT% as hidden stat | Decent multipliers | Amazing single target DPS |
| Versatile in builds/team comps | Extremely easy to play (spam NA) |
Cons:
| Has little energy generation | Charged Attack is extremely buggy | Burst is useless as main DPS |
|---|---|---|
| Enemies can dodge NA/it can miss | Somewhat reliant on constellations to be optimal | Literally can’t do anything vs shields unless E is up |
PSA #1: Yoimiya has a lot of ways you can build her team, which is one of her strong suites since they’re all very viable. Below will just be an example of a standard Melt/Vape comp, but all the way below (at PSA #2) I’ll list in detail what characters work for which artifacts you’re running!
- Can spread Cryo procs surprisingly effectively, letting Yoimiya get free melt proc’s + Ayaka is a super solid sub DPS/burst DPS option
- Her E will apply Cryo + knock up enemies making it easy for Yoimiya to use E and NA spam
- Use Ayaka Q and then swap to Yoimiya + E and NA spam is also an amazing way to EM nuke enemies
- CAN BE REPLACED BY KEQING FOR HER Q IF 4X TF OR ROSARIA FOR EASIER MELT PROCS
- Amazing Hydro off-field DPS that also provides tankiness + minor heals with his E
- Xingqiu Q works amazingly when paired with Yoimiya E. You’ll have a reverse Vape proc, but it’s still really good (since his Q lands first)
- Extremely cheap to build + you can now have basically 100% Q uptime with 4x Emblem
- CAN BE REPLACED BY FISCHL IF 4x TF OR XIANGLING IF YOU WANT PYRO RESONANCE
- Her E spreads Cryo fast and fairly spammable + it provides a strong shield letting Yoimiya sustain
- Her Q is a giant AoE Cryo field that also heals. Free Melt procs all around
- If run with Ayaka or Rosaria, you’re essentially guaranteeing CRIT% for Yoimiya due to Cryo resonance
- CAN BE REPLACED WITH BENNETT FOR ATK BUFF OR BEIDOU FOR 4X TF
PSA #2: So here’s the breakdown per artifact build you’re running for your Yoimiya below! I won’t go into one for 4x Shime since it’s practically just spam every off-field enabler you have (i.e. Fischl + Xingqiu + Bennett = win)
4x Thundering Fury (basically a mono-Electro comp + Yoimiya)
- Fishcl – Her E is basically free energy + Electro procs that will guarantee consistent Overloaded procs
- Beidou – Solid sub DPS option when Yoimiya E is down + her Q can be a great off-field enabler via her Electro proc chains. Even stronger if you have C2!
- Keqing – Amazing burst DPS option + Keqing can also spam her E to spread Electro for free. Also can be taken vice-versa with Yoimiya filling as the burst DPS if you want Keqing main DPS
- If you need heals/sustain – Bennett or Jean can be a great substitute, as the ATK buff from Bennett + the massive heal procs can keep her alive while Jean can spread either Pyro or Electro around via Swirl!
4x Crimson Witch of Flames (focused on Melt/Vapo comp)
- Rosaria – Amazing low E CD that can spread Cryo AoE very well + her Q can be used off-field
- Mona – Taunt that mass spreads Hydro pairs well with Yoimiya E and Q. Her Q when paired with Yoimiya’s E is also lethal
- Xiangling – Mainly just for assisted burst DPS, but also provides Pyro resonance. Guoba can do some serious damage
- Sucrose – Massive AoE + EM mule that can really elevate the Melt/Vapo damage output. Realistically any Anemo with 4x Viridescent Venerer can also take her spot tho
4x Retracing Bolide
- Zhongli – I mean self-explanatory. Strongest shield in the game + amazing burst DPS that’s giga tanky
- Diona – Second strongest shield + she can provide Cryo procs for Melt
- Beidou – If you don’t want Melt, Beidou fits in well with her Q for Overloaded
- Noelle – Seen as the “poor man’s shielder,” but her shield can actually tank a lot if you just funnel DEF like a madlad
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BELOW! I’ll try my best to respond as I know some players may not have ANY of the characters mentioned.
Hope this helped. Bye.
What’s your opinion on mono-pyro Yoimiya? Ex: Yoimiya, Kazuha, Xiangling, Bennet
Not the worst thing, but seriously undermines Yoimiya’s ability to consistently proc reaction damage. I highly recommend running someone like Raiden/Fishcl for the Firecracker team comp, Xingqiu for Vapo, or any off-field Support to help bolster her DPS output!
Between Yelan and Xingqiu, who do you think is the best to pair with Yoimiya?
Personally I prefer Yelan since her projectiles are a bit better. However Xingqiu is a lot easier to build (or rather he can accumulate ER% a lot better due to Sword options).
I got mina c1 and i am asking if the vapo buff is high enough to use her instead of xingqui
You won’t have nearly as much consistent DPS compared to using Xingqiu, but your burst option is there. So it’s really up to your playstyle.
If you prefer fast and constant, then Xingqiu will be better. If you enjoy setup and rotation, then Mona will be more fitting.
What do you think about Yoimiya, Kokomi, Sucrose and Bennett?
It works, but I would maybe try to get an off-field Enabler (like Fishcl, Yelan, Yae, Raiden, or Xingqiu) to help bolster Yoimiya’s DPS. While she can be run for a rotation/buff comp, she’s much better at consistent DPS.
I don’t have most of the characters and am wondering if Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Zhongli works, please let me know
It works perfectly fine. If you’re not having issues with positioning or getting interrupted, then you can honestly sub out Zhongli for an Anemo AoE too (or an EM mule)
I’m sorry for the late reply but I recently just got Venti and I’m not really having issues with positioning or all that, so, can Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Venti, and Bennett work?
Yeah, works perfectly fine. Just keep in mind that Xingqiu E can miss on enemies in Venti’s Q, so make sure you E enemies on the ground first if you need energy. Otherwise, zero problems with that setup!
Does Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Venti and Bennett work?
Works perfectly fine. Just make sure that you’re using Bennett’s Q before Venti’s Q to maximize damage.
