YAOYAO GUIDE: How to Play, Best Artifact & Weapon Builds, Team Comps | Genshin Impact 3.4

The fact that she heals everyone at the same time just my running makes her amazing imo.

[@DiamonDust]

It’s also adorable

[@r.edgewood613]

she heals really fast during her burst. And heals the entire team. she’s pretty awesome!

[@shinespider]

It's adorable that they implemented the child model's silly run animation into the actual kit.

[@joshhaworth2155]

[@Christian-qt6tw]

The team healing does it for me. I always wanted an off field team healer for those annoying corrosion enemies.

[@jeshu5073]

ikr heaing characters has become a chore due to all the characters only healing on field characters

[@ghostwithknife416]

I'm offended on behalf of Barbara.

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

Only problem is she only heals the on-field person so technically your entire team would still be dying

[@ghostwithknife416]

@@Sinovian Noelle has Gorou and White blind, she has abandoned pacifism FOR THE FREEDOM OF MONSTADT.

[@Sinovian]

@@ghostwithknife416 Almost. Barbara has to be on field for the group heals. Same for Noelle and Jean. Both can do team heals, but need to be on field, and in the case of Jean her off field heal is single target. Kuki and Bennet are both single target but off field. So off field AND team healing is pretty unique. Technically Gorru c4 and Sayu would count though! (Edit for clarity based on others comments)

[@ymyzki]

Being the first dendro healer surely opens up a lot of team comps. Can't wait for Baizhu if he's really a healer ☺️

[@Fringewonder]

Can't wait as well

[@yujinanyeongzz6925]

OMG imagine Baizhu being a dendro poisoner but also heals cuz he is a doctor. That would be nice.

[@ALL_IN_OR_NOTHING]

the only dendro wont kill you while doing bloom

[@AceSama..]

Many content creators have pre access to some newer game content and characters. So they can prepare guides early and able to post it as soon as the update is live.

[@JohnCivor]

Mihoyo creates a exclusive CC server so that they can test out the incoming characters and make guides for them and that's why seconds the server opens they literally have a guide ready to post on their channel.

[@JaxxBaxRaxor]

To me it seems that Yaoyao is going to compete with Diona for the best post-launch 4 star. Great healing and good Dendro application means she will be an excellent choice for many teams. At the very least she seems far superior to Collei and Dendro Traveler. I will be getting Yaoyao from the Latern Rite event and see how she will do with my Burgeon team.

[@michielmanders9766]

Not sure what you mean by post launch, maybe I'm missing something. But I would find it hard to argue that Diona is better than Bennet, Xinqiu, Kuki, Sucrose, Xiangling, Beidou, or even Gorou within his niche. Diona is just above average, but not even in contention for best four star.

[@a.j.cookie9735]

@@michielmanders9766 Post-launch typically means characters who weren’t available in the game’s first version (aka version 1.0). For example out of the characters you mentioned Bennett, Xingqiu, Xiangling and Sucrose and Beidou are all launch characters (aka available since version 1.0). On the other hand, Diona, Gorou and Kuki are considered Post-launch characters since they weren’t available in the game from the debut.

[@charmizarrk]

YaoYao, Diona, Rosaria, Yanfei and Heizou are the only Post-Launch 4-star that are above average upon release, Characters like Thoma, Sayu and Shinobu are now above average after thier release at a certain niche While Gorou and Yun Jin are above average upon release on thier certain niche But i do believe the best Post release 4-star is either Diona,YaoYao or Rosaria

[@abutterfly1351]

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Genshin, but this is one of the first characters where I legitimately need a guide on what to build on her. It seems like she's so flexible as a Dendro healer that her weapon, artifact set bonuses, and even artifact stats can vastly vary depending on what you have and what you aspire to do. Thanks for the guide!

Smart of you to upload the Yaoyao guide before Alhaitham's - get ahead of the curve

[@MrDarksol]

As long as I have another black tassel on hand I should be good in wanting to get this cute little thing. And after checking over the characters that are part of the lantern event and seeing how am I in terms of constellations, yeah it's pretty much low for most of them and even if the others are getting close to it, it only leads to a increase in whatever their skill or burst goes up to. So I may get Yao Yao after all. Other than that it's good that she definitely feels free to play right out the Box and you don't have to do that much in order to make her good. Only downside is of course the artifact grind but otherwise she's good. Great job Sevy and off to Al's showcase!

[@mismismism]

I can't wait to get her with lantern rite. I limited myself to 20 single pulls and got Yunjin and Alhaitham, cannot risk wasting primos on Xinyan. I'm so glad the event is happening.

[@phoenixlau]

I've been trying to get that Keqing/Fischl aggravate team up to par with my other floor 12 teams, but the Dendro Traveler / Collei slot has been making it an uphill task. With Yaoyao functioning as both dendro and healer, the dendro slot is still about the same damage, but now I can upgrade healer Sucrose to Kazuha for more offense.

[@John_II]

Been playing around with : Childe, Raiden Shogun, Kazuha and Yao Yao. It's a really good hyper bloom team, with has a healer, and is decent for exploration. Basically, you're throwing the bunny out, applying hydro with Childe, then electro with Raiden (and vice versa). Kazuha is for crowd control and persistent swirl of electro or hydro depending on who is on cool down. Not going to lie, it worked better than I thought it would. Sure Yao Yao is not the best Dendro applicator, but at least she heals.

[@callmeandoru2627]

Ngl yaoyao is probably one of the best supports rn. Dendro teams are really good especially in abyss but with bloom teams its easy to die since the cores also dmg you but with yaoyao you can apply dendro for bloom and also heal in the meantime. I will admit she is the best 4 star hoyoverse released after sumeru. Faruzan is really good too but at c1 yaoyao is better and more useful to more elements.
