BEST 4-STAR IN A LONG TIME! Complete F2P Yaoyao Build Guide [Best Teams, Weapons, Artifacts] Genshin

[@Braxophone]

For clarity on her burst and field time: Yaoyao heals a LOT in a short time. Sometimes you may only need to keep her on field (during burst) enough to proc fav and feed particles to someone like Alhaitham. Most of the time you don't really need the full 5 seconds. Alhaitham pulls when I'm back home Sunday, twitch.tv/braxophone twitter.com/braxophone Technically Yaoyao targeting isn't random, it won't hit the same enemy twice in a row unless there's only one enemy to hit. Might as well be random tho

[@smileybones9172]

I'll be running Yaoyao alongside Raiden and Alhaitham in a spread team, so her energy won't be an issue.

I am actually very happy that she is perfectly functional at base. Because I am completely skipping this banner and getting a free copy of her doing the lantern rite event. I have been waiting a whole freaking year to get my hands on Hu Tao And I am not going to pass up this opportunity.

[@MAVRIL-06]

Same same

[@joshernsteen2066]

She is also very obviously MUCH MORE effective at the Dragonspine multi-player team up event quest as the only person who had a Level 90 Hu Tau, with the Staff of Homa probably max level as well, caused ALMOST ALL OF THE DAMAGE to the enemy as well completely finishing it off in literally almost a few seconds as well. The artifacts were probably all maxed out, but still I prove my point here that she DEFINITELY MAKES A DIFFERENCE for the event duration as well. The damage results on the screen made it SO EMBARRASSING to be looking at that we felt like we had no choice but to pull for the character the next time that she came around, probably the other people did to as well for security reasons as well to their accounts as well.

[@chngdm]

i just honestly love her design and kit so much. looking at her is pure joy! i will build her as a Deepwood support for Alhaitham c:

[@LAVERDADTEDUELE]

i don't know how much being a father has weaved my emotions, but OMG YAOYAO IS SOOOO CUUUTEEEEE 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍!!!!!!!!

[@fancymustache3793]

To be fair atleast in nilou teams you actually WANT yaoyao to be on the field atleast for her full burst duration because not only does she have a lot of health she can tank all the bountiful core damage better than the rest of the party while healing everybody and keeping the bloom factory going. Fun fact: If you pair her with candace she can be a driver for the team during her burst and you wont be losing much damage considering nilou's passives and candace's passive. Pairing the both together with yaoyao has all 3 of them benefit from the hydro resonance greatly and with nahida providing the missing dendro application off-field and an EM boost Yaoyao can be a great driver for the team

[@Braxophone]

It can go either way on the field time. I realize now I left out my note about Candace, but it's a fun way to incorporate her into a good team!

[@fancymustache3793]

@@Braxophone I mean it probably wont be competetive meta wise but it certainly works well and building a crap ton of HP is actually a good thing in the team especially if yaoyao is c4 then she can get a lot just from her teammates (aka hydro resonance, candace's buff, and nilou)

[@nat6lbg440]

I am using Yaoyao Fischl Kazuha Keqing, it's amazing!!! I missed having a healer in overworld and abyss. Compared to Nahida, you have less range for applying Dendro and shorter duration. However, there is no long ass burst animations aside from Keqing so it's very fast and fluid. Being able to set up faster really compensate Yaoyao lack of damage. I have the same results with Nahida and Yaoyao in abyss but there is healing with Yaoyao.

[@vanillabeans4205]

When I paired her with Kuki, Xingqiu, and Dendro Traveler in a hyperbloom comp, the continuous healing from Yaoyao & Kuki and dendro cores generated was beyond what I anticipated. Not only are enemies dying quicker, it's become basically a "lifesteal" kind of combat which I've never done usually. Note: I don't have Kokomi, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Yelan, Yae, or any other characters that could apply an element better because my pull luck sucks.

[@bigbabydoodle]

Ive been waiting for YaoYao for too long and she doesnt disappoint

[@ChrisWhiton]

You may have convinced me to try and build her. I've been waiting for a certain pharmacist to be my dendro healer but after getting some "leaks" that he's damage support, I'm starting to look into other things. Thanks for the video :)

[@an-emo4373]

Thanks for you help, you continue to make such decent and accurate guides that help a lot of people white still making it entertaining and informative. Continue doing great things!

[@Himekocchi]

Finally someone understanding her potential. The moment I tested her out in Trial I knew she was at least an S tier healer And immediately started raising her. Great even at c0, which is extremely rare for a 4* unit. Put 4 piece deepwood on her, you can build 4PC gilded on Nahida in that case and she would actually be better than Kokomi in Nilou bloom teams. that's how good she is!

[@sappy.3xe]

I waited for Yaoyao for so long. Glad that she didn’t disappoint haha. I was rolling more for her than for Xiao. Luckily I got her c5 and will acquire her c6 via the event! :D I will double crown her as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

I believe that there a cutscene(s?) involving your character name being involved in some way, so maybe how you raise Yao Yao could maybe possibly backfire on you as well. Yao Yao did mention that she DID NOT want to be a potential burden to the traveler as well. I am just guessing here but the cutscene might be intentionally blocked by the daily commission with the father asking for Almond Tofu to make her daughter take her medicine as well. The daily commission doss infact take place in Liyue as well. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon even has text change for mention of Chansey versus actually acquiring and selecting it to be your main Pokemon as well. Mihiyo probably already saved the footage of the cutscenes mentioning it simply only because the people who ACTUALLY made the game play style knew/knows exactly what they are talking about as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Probably Yao Yao will join up inside of the game upon meeting her AFTER THE PATCH that allows her to enter the game as well. You would still probably have to do SOMETHING with her as well before she leaves you as well. I am just guessing here but, considering that the text absolutely explained itself as well; among the fact that believed that the Mihiyo rep even mentioned that there was more than one way to get added into your game, including doing stuff that you might not want to do as well. I believe that even the father of the child even mentioned something about possibly looking for the child for a bit and then changing her manually into her pajamas and other clothes, even back to back to back, if she insists on it, when it accidentally slipped out of his mouth as well. He also mentioned something related to that if you cannot look after a child, then you reallly should not be adventuring with the adventures guild as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

What I manually experienced already first hand definitely kind of proves that point already as those cutscenes ONLY could have taken place when they WERE NOT added into the game to be playable as well. I would also assume that Mihiyo intentionally programmed the game based on the fact that they knew that people who found it before anyone should have at least found a stable source of income/at least had some money to spend on the game. They did mention that they were all grateful they actually did not have any real jobs themselves in what they were writing up about the content as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Anyone playing the game now likely will not sway their viewpoint of the game already, considering that they did already mention that they would use the content that they recieved about the content being written about the sooner the better as well. There is definitely ways to get money safely on the side, no ads required as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

I believe that he mentioned something about absolutely careful about the person who is going to playing the game in raising/using a character that he swore he saw going around Liyie from time to time as well. He is also probably a little bit aware of what of probably other things about your journey/the game upon reasonable usuage as well. I believe that he even mentioned that he knew something about the 5th and 6th regions as well to tell when and if the timing was right as well. It could just only be the content that the Mihiyo employees were reading about that immediately surprised them as well. However the content I was specifically looking at did apparently require a login with further ability to see what the content was actually even there on the page as well.

[@choufleur96]

you've absolutely convinced me to build her. So far I've got her on Fav, for artifacts I've got 2pc healing 2 pc ER, HP/HP/HB but that will probably change as I keep farming gilded dreams, so I can put deepwood on yaoyao and gilded on al haitham (for now he's got 4pc gilded but this might be a DPS loss since he scales so well with EM). I'm planning to use her with al haitham in aggravate or hyperbloom teams, and mayyyyybe with nilou bloom if I desperately need kokomi elsewhere but I'm p happy with my bloom team otherwise.... Hadn't thought of Keqing though! Thanks for an excellent guide, and so many different team comp ideas.

[@Zed1261]

great video! everyone I talked too says to use her burst and keep her on field, but I agree its not worth keeping her up on field for the bunny and extra raddish when you can have someone on field that does damage bc even her short heal time is still lots of heals

[@Blakeblaze]

u'd run her onfield in a Nilou bloom team because she can apply dendro by just moving and takes essentially 50% less dmg from the bloom self dmg.

[@andreaissys828]

Leading up to the update I did my best to prepare for Yaoyao. Some of it worked out, some of it didn’t- but I found that the aranara craftable moonpiercer works really well with Yaoyao. The effect even triggers off field. I throw her bunny out, and switch to Shinobu (which is a great combo) and the reaction ends up with a leaf spawning on the ground. It’s pretty useful! I’m going to be trying her in more teams, but she’s really fun with electro and Pyro too, not just bloom related ones. I tried using her with Candace, but it just feels kinda. Clunky

[@zippo718]

How is 2 healers on a team a great combo?

[@andreaissys828]

@@zippo718 I’ve found that combined their healing is rather effective rather quickly, to the point that I can feed a suspicious steak to a fully built level 90 character and get them to full HP before Shinobus skill is finished. When running around in overworld- it’s more than sufficient to keep the party at full health at all times, as well as good application of elements and reactions. I can swap to a completely different character and have the benefits of both going as well- which is convenient. If I’m exploring and need to light a Dendro monument, I’ve found it’s fairly quick to put a bunny down, then immediately switch to Shinobu and use her skill. The health it takes for her to use immediately switches from random directions to target you directly- stand next to the monument and it’ll light. This also applies in combat, stand close and both will apply and or react. In addition- combination of Dendro, electro and Pyro on an opponent leads to some fun reactions as well, fairly even spread. Overload, burning, spread and aggravate. Especially if I’m running a squishier Pyro, the overload knocks things back and stops me from being staggered. Neither my Shinobu or Yaoyao are fully built even- but they work pretty effectively together despite that. I’m still working on them- but they’re a pretty fun team already. Mostly been using them with Yoimiya and Kazuha so far. Hope this answers your question alright! :)

[@MoroFullmetal]

Thanks for the video! Yao Yao is my new fave character!

[@workinprogress8978]

I use Black Tassel with an ER sands. I use it in a hyperbloom team with Yelan and Kuki and it works great, with her getting her burst every rotation. That being said, Yelan uses Fav bow, so your point about ER still stands.

You should be able to combine together the materials to form the other ones that need for the other characters depending on how much of them that you have, and based on where you acquire the material from obviously.

[@bhushan_88]

Her C2 is really good QoL buff. You can focus on only HP%/Healing bonus without worrying about ER.

[@vht1]

that c2 is very situational. if the bunny targets ur active character and they are far from the enemy, her c2 has no value. its a good cons but isnt a guarantee like thomas c4

[@Eyelash85]

I dont understand why content creators are suggesting a ER polearm, if her best polearm offers around 31% ER (and the Favonious Lance require her to have enough crit rate) and the sands offers 62% ER. Another issue is to recommend a sands artifact with EM, when the Dragons' Bane offers 220 EM (+33 EM than the artifact). Her more efficient set (Deepwood Memories) should be: HP/ Att/ ER/ HP%/ HP% So, Yaoyao with the Dragons' Bane and a ER sands artifact is more efficient in general. The downside of the Dragons' Bane is its low ass attack, but the attack difference amongst 4 stars polearms would not affect Yaoyao.

[@sentryion3106]

Fav lance provides more than just the 31% sub stat. The extra neutral particle contributes a lot to her really high energy cost. Let’s face it Yao Yao isn’t gonna do much damage so better focus on healing and healing uptime

[@torbjornlindholmes2401]

Agree with this. I use HP/Att/ER/HP%/HealingBonus with BlackTassel. I'd rather have 46% HP than 30something% ER. I also use 2pc ocean clam with 2pc ToTM. More than enough ER and nobody dies. My burst is ready before CD expires. Yaoyao is too good.

[@mallowss8336]

I've been really enjoying using her lately, especially in Raiden Hyperbloom. I usually use Raiden, Xingqiu, DMC, and Zhongli (for pretection) but I found that Yaoyao works soo much better here than Zhongli. Dendro resonance provides quite a good EM boost and Yaoyao just gives so much healing and dendro application overall (I even found it hard for my Xingqiu to keep up with the Dendro in multi-target situations). The only one missing in this team is Nahida really. If I can get Nahida this would easily be my best team (it already kinda is but Nahida would make it soooo much better). Also hope to use her in Nilou bloom once I get Nahida.

I'd say he'll be good since he's from Liyue, but he's a dude and we all know how Hoyo is with male characters. they are "average/mid"

[@dentangaji6161]

Imagine if they hold Baizhu release until the year of the snake.

[@ymw1107]

Unless they are support, then they are straight up broken/best character in the game

I NEED to know where you got the background music from at the very start of the video - Introduction part. I clicked on your video right as I watched this other video called "Life is too short" which has a hard hitting description and some hard hitting comments. And it felt TOOO damm eerie when the music didn't change when I clicked on your video. I thought my mind didn't want to move on from that last video so I was just hearing things!

[@JN-jx7nx]

has anyone noticed that most of the recent playable characters r good if they're from liyue (yelan, yaoyao, yunjin...)? While sumeru has so many questionable players aside from nahida

[@vixen.9787]

I wouldn't say sumeru characters are questionable, really. They're actually really good in their specific niches but some of them are only good in said niche.

[@backpackpepelon3867]

I mean, sumeru represents India and middle east, and China hate both of them. So yeah, its not that weird tbh.

[@ymw1107]

Nilou and alhaitham is really good. In fact, counting nahida, most of the 5 star releases in sumeru had been decent to good, probably bcuz of how broken dendro reaction is. The only questionable ones are the 4 stars and prob cyno atm, so that's really not alot.

[@Rapiers-and-flowers]

Fr the only good characters that are coming from sumeru are Nahida, Layla and Alhaitham. Everyone else is either: -Mid (Dori, Candace and Collei) -Decent (Tighnari and Scaramouche) -Good but they need to used in a specific way (Nilou) - C6 reliant (Faruzan) -Or they're just Cyno

I was litterally about to quit the game because my ganyu melt and raiden hyper carry both NEED baby boo Bennett🤬 😏BUT THEN YAO YAO SO CLUTCH aggravate and heal!!!! This was the most god sensed character for me in spiral cause I did NOT wanna build Mona or Lisa lmao

[@navalhabr]

YaoYao is absolute PERFECT with Raiden. I'm impressed.

[@joshernsteen2066]

@@navalhabr Yao Yao Is LIKELY DEFINITELY NOT AVAILABLE to be even accessible prior to the version firmware where she can be acquired from as well, considering that even Paimon INSIDE out game even mentioned something along the lines of the timong not being correct upon doing the specific action being done inside of the game during that particular time; and Paimon was even PUSHING us AWAY from doing it as well!!!!

[@joshernsteen2066]

Also she might have been referenced inside OUR GAME possibly as a character who LIKELY WOULD HAVE joined up inside the game if th me firmware was ALREADY accessible and completed(?) by that particular point in time already as well. The game already is very strict on stuff NOT GETTING OUT until the timing is correct as well; if the game is built in in text references to the information being mentioned as well. Paimon also mentioned something very similar INSIDE of our game as well!!!

[@joshernsteen2066]

I believe that the text mentioning the NPC saying something related to the "there is a strange wanderer over by Wolfendeer" is referencing to the cutscenes involving the wine event NOT BEING fully completed by the game standards, as the staff I was communicating with way, way back even directly mentioned to me that they were already curious to see how the general public will handle them as well. I was communicating with them after I somehow watched the full unvoiced autoplay file of the event file as well. Definitely the content looks like it was partially done in the modern era as well, though the content in question likely could not have even been brought up to their attention/even noticed by myself by that point in time as well. Probably the employees who are looking at it now, is probably thinking something somewhat similar to what I wrote up as well.

[@joshernsteen2066]

Miyiho likely had other files probably likely either already made already or are probably adding in the voices to them as per needed to be done, as they already clearly showed that the fishing cutscene was ALREADY PROGRAMMED into the game really early on based on the voice file being used for the cutscene when Paimon talks to the character inside of the game as well.

[@BasaltZ]

Pulled for kazuha 100 pulls on the banner got yaoyao to c5 and now i have her skyward spear 😂

[@wascourge9817]

Instructor with yaoyao might not be the best idea. Because of a little quirk with how the 4 piece set works, she has to be on the field while a reaction triggers in order to get the buff

[@xMORHUHNx]

>Idealy she is not on field anyways Wait for Brax discover Yaoyao carry in Nilou team

And here i tought she sucked 😅 pulled her yesterday, but am a new player, had Barbara, but already replaced her for yaoyao, my main is alhatheim

[@nightday2030]

Best budget unit to keep up with Dendro harmful reactions. Put her in Nilou's team, even at low level she can keep up with both corrosion and bloom damage. Just make sure stack HP on her.

[@ZanyMr.Crowzz]

Liyue 4 stars are honestly built different, they're all very good(in my opinion)

[@ZanyMr.Crowzz]

@4RoryVT how is this statement ironic?? Sorry, I genuinely don't understand💀

[@ZanyMr.Crowzz]

@4RoryVT oh I see, thank you for explaining

[@theashianz3562]

Ask Xinyan

[@ZanyMr.Crowzz]

@The Ashianz Xinyan can be a support or dps depending on how you build her, she can also kinda mix like Noelle, her shield is based off her def and her cons suggest that she's supposed to be played as a physical dps, you put 2 piece pale flame and 2 piece husk you can buff her sheild and dmg, you can also just go full physical dps with her

[@Modie]

I mean, personally, I wouldn't say she is strong. She is a dedicated healer and like a year before, this would have been a detriment. See just Kuki Shinobu as an example. The difference is her timing. She is a healer in an element that needs a healer more than any other at this point and she has other Dendro units to work with. If she would have been released instead of Collei for example, people wouldn't have been so positive, because she wouldn't have been applying Dendro enough to build new teams around that element. But because Nilou and Nahida (and to some extent Al Haitham) exist, she has roles to fill. I mean, just look at it this way: If Kuki had been released after the Dendro update, people would have been foaming how broken she is.

[@lucianojadur]

She is just a dedicated Nilou-team support. Outside of that scope, is just another energy greedy healer, may work but she isn't BiS in any other comp compared to other healers.

[@joeltoomer3332]

@@lucianojadur she's not energy greedy at all what? You can literally just use her skill and that's it cause she's heals and deals damage with her skill alone. Her burst is only used in case of emergencies

[@Modie]

@@lucianojadur My main problem with her as a Nilou support is that she doesn't even work that well there. The problem with Nilou teams is their restrictive nature and the fact that it is a transformative reaction. Which is why you want a 1 to 3 ratio. And as was said, three Dendro is kind of bad because them Nilou would need to run EM which defeats the purpose. So you normally want to run 3 Hydro and 1 Dendro, but if the Dendro one is now also your Healer that scales off HP you either have to sacrifice damage again (which defeats the whole point of the 1-3 ratio) or a reduced healing and the question is if that is enough. Even Barbara has it better in this case, because when you run 3 Hydro she will get the energy. I guess the only way would be to run 2-2, use Nilou's on-field skill (so her off-field skill doesn't steal reactions) and then an EM Hydro character while Yaoyao and another Dendro character provide the Dendro. But I don't even know which Hydro would be best in that case. My fear is that XQ applies Hydro too fast to proc the reaction. Point for me is that if you have Nahida, a 1-3 option would still be better. She might be an idea if you don't have Nahida. But again, then you have to find the perfect character that you can build on EM and which doesn't provide too much Hydro so that it can proc the reactions.

[@lucianojadur]

@@Modie I agree. That’s - to some extent- another problem I find on Nilou, that she’s kinda reliant on her signature weapon since it provides some EM besides the HP boost, so your comps become a little bit more flexible. 2 dendro-2 hydro is very rgn reliant as to stack tons of EM on an intended trigger, so yes, in a full f2p team you need to stack as much EM as possible in every other character than Nilou, thus diminishing the healer’s healing capabilities (since as of today, all of them allowed heals based on hp). But she still better than anything for that comp, imo. Outside Nilou’s teams Yaoyao is just another 4* who makes her work and that’s it.

[@lucianojadur]

@@joeltoomer3332 that’s why I meant outside of Nilou’s scope. With Nilou you barely need her burst (although it’s good to proc it if you can), but in other teams it may become necessary if you need an insane healing for all party members quickly and/or to apply dendro while her skill is on cd. If she had 100% uptime on her skill that would be a different story.

[@goaty0318]

Do you think a Candace, Nahida, Thoma, Yaoyao burgeon team would be any good.
