Genshin Impact: Yoimiya’s Skills
Before we get into the best Yoimiya build section for artifacts, first let’s take a look at her skills. Yoimiya specializes in using her fireworks alongside her bow to deal heavy damage to enemies. Here is a breakdown of her skills and abilities.
- Normal Attack: Performs a set of 5 attacks dealing physical damage
- Skill: Infuses her normal attack with Pyro, converting the physical damage into fire damage
- Elemental Burst: Deals Pyro damage to a small area, marking each target she hits. Her teammates can trigger an explosion when they hit the marked enemies.
- Charged Attack: Deals Pyro damage to enemies. When she fires a second arrow, she generates 3 smaller arrows, which auto locks and targets nearby enemies.
Yoimiya’s entire kit revolves around her normal attacks. For talent upgrade priority:
- Normal Attack -> Skill -> Ultimate
You can ignore leveling up her ultimate as you will not use it often because of reasons which will be explored below.
Genshin Impact: Yoimiya’s Constellations
If you are someone thinking about spending your precious Primogems on the constellations of the owner of Naganohara Fireworks, you can skip them. They do not provide any strong DPS increase or much needed Quality of Life changes. Here is a breakdown of her constellations. Do note, Constellation 3 and 5 are excluded as they provide a +3 level to her skill and ultimate respectively.
- Constellation 1: Increases the duration of the mark after Yoimiya’s elemental burst hits an opponent. When you defeat an opponent with this mark, her attack is increased by 20%
- Constellation 2: If Yoimiya scores a crit hit, she gains a 25% increase in her Pyro damage for 6 seconds.
- Constellation 4: Decreases the cooldown of her skill by 1.2 seconds when the enemies marked with her elemental burst triggers an explosion.
- Constellation 6: Yoimiya’s normal attacks have a 50% chance of firing a smaller arrow that deals 60% of her attack as damage.
Now let us get into the best Yoimiya build section, starting with her level-up materials.

Now let us dive into her best artifact sets and stats you should be aiming for.
Yoimiya’s best artifacts
Now for the bread and butter for this best Yoimiya build guide, let us review some of her Artifact sets. Yoimiya has 2 best-in-slot artifact sets that you can farm. Besides that, we will also provide a few 2-piece set alternatives if you lack a complete 4-piece set.
- Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: This is her best artifact set in Genshin Impact. This set increases her normal attack damage by 50% for 10 seconds at the cost of 15 energy points.
- Crimson Witch of Flames: This is her second best option. Crimson Witch provides you with Pyro damage bonus and increased damage when you trigger melt or vaporize.
- If you lack a 4 piece set, you can opt for any 2 attack sets and 2 Crimson Witch for Yoimiya. Though in the long run, a 4 piece set will allow you to dish out more damage.
For artifact stats focus on the following
- 1:2 Crit Rate to Crit Damage ratio. Try to target a 65+ Crit rate build as her attacks not crit hitting means a major damage loss.
- Attack sands
- Pyro Damage goblet
- Crit rate or Crit damage head-piece as per your requirements.
Best Weapon options
A best Yoimiya build guide is incomplete without reviewing some of the weapons for her. She is quite flexible with her weapon options. But you will generally need a weapon with either crit or attack sub-stats. Here are a few 5-star as well as 4-star options for her
- Thundering Pulse: Her signature 5-star weapon. The weapon increases her attack and normal attack damage.
- Polar Star: Another great weapon that gives both crit rate and a nice attack bonus.
- Skyward Harp: Is an excellent stat stick thanks to its high attack and the ability to give both Crit Rate and Damage.
- Rust: This is her best 4-star option as it increases normal attack damage. At high refinement, the Rust can rival a r1 Thundering Pulse
For free-to-play or f2p options, she only has one bow suited for her
- Hamayumi: The craftable Inzuma bow in Genshin Impact is the best free-to-play option for Yoimiya as it can increase normal attack damage.
Best Yoimiya guide: Teammates and character synergy
Now to finish this best Yoimiya guide, let us have a look at the characters she has a good synergy with and form a squad for her. She excels at various team comps. Here are a few team suggestions including both 5-star and 4-star characters including a free-to-play one.
- Vaporize: Yelan, Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Zhongli/Bennet
- National: Yoimiya, Bennet, Xiangling, Xingqiu
- Melt/Reverse Melt/Freeze Melt: Yoimiya, Kokomi, Xingqiu, Layla/Diona.
- Hypercarry: Yoimiya, Bennet, Yunjin, Zhongli
- Free-to-play: Yoimiya, Xingqiu, Barbara, Xiangling
Keep in mind if Yoimiya gets staggered during her combo, she might miss out on dealing a huge chunk of damage. So a shielder is recommended in her team.
Genshin Impact is currently hosting the annual Lantern Rite festival to commemorate the New Year celebration in China. Version 4.4 will gift players a free 4-star character selector, a skin for Xingqiu, and 13 Intertwined Fates among other things.
