C0 Yaoyao is ACTUALLY USEFUL! 4★ Weapon Showcase! Genshin Impact

[@nothingsjim]

Yaoyao feels like a 4-star Dendro Kokomi. -Stationary Elemental Skill that heals and apply elements. -Burst that turns her into team healer that requires some field time. Currently using 4-piece Deepwood Memory on her as support for my other Dendro unit. Very solid character.

[@kevindragneel285]

Kokomi is still superior kit wise. But Yao Yao is incredible. She hugely benefits from being dendro so her burst isnt useless in spread or Nilou bloom. Also shes a 4 star unlike Kokomi whos a limited 5 star.

Yao Yao has a peculiar special ICD where she doesn't have a hit rule, but has a time rule of once per 1.5-2.5s ish(?) app limit. What makes it weird is it's shared with the Skill, Burst, and Passive, so no matter how many radishes she throws out, the app is constant.

it's not shared E is 2.5 Q is 1~1.5

[@kale1287]

[@user-sd7ms3sy9q]

@@kale1287 Its literally not shared. Q and E have separate ICD. There is no such thing as "lowering the time rule", thats just not how ICD works. The E radishes have "Elemental_Art" attenuationtag and the Q radishes have "Elemental_Burst" attenuationtag, different attenuationtags mean separate ICD.

[@saaaaaaaaalt838]

I quite like double dendro double electro with Yaoyao and Nahida. Dendro resonance gives an extra 100EM and you don't have to finagle with trying to swirl electro before dendro removes it.

I havent tried this but I think Ill gove it a go. Always used kazu but totally feel your pain trying to always swirl electro depending on the fight.

im so happy her kit and materials are in the first part of the game. Just made it to inazuma so im like over a year away from sumeru. I think it was a brilliant idea they made her material in Liyue as you can use MC for more dps and her for your support. This is good for everyone :D

[@lindalin1518]

The way you made Yaoyao dash around during burst to throw more radishes is so cute 😂❤

[@Chris-sk6px]

It's such a breath of fresh air to see a flexible character after the tremendously limiting Faruzan, or heck, the entire 4* Sumeru squad for that matter, and oddly enough it happens to be a Liyue character, those feeble scholars sure talk big, but don't bite much.

[@nikk-named]

I feel like the entirety of Sumeru has been focussing on nicht supports. Gorou, for example, would technically fit into the same category. It's kind of surprising they seemingly dedicated an entire region to it, but it makes sense that the era would at one point come where they add them. They can't make every character universal, and having some that are good in the special teams they're dedicated to makes sense. Lorewise, having Sumeru, the region of wisdom and scholars, who usually specialise in one field, be the region of nonflexible characters does make a bit of sense as well.

[@BiBiren]

Faruzan and Sara is kinda inconvenient as a niche supports compared to Gorou. To Sara, who wants to waste time having to CA first? Or Faruzan who has energy problem, and also has to CA to earn that energy. Meanwhile Gorou just pop E and Q then leaves, even the Q follows the character.
