Yoimiya skill
Active Skills
- Normal Attack (Pyrotechnic Flame) : Chains up to 5 consecutive shots
- Charged Attack : Performs a more accurate aimed shot and inflicts more damage. While aiming, flames come to concentrate on the bolt of the arrow before being fired during the attack. The effect varies depending on the number of charges:
- 1 Charge: Fires a flaming arrow that deals Pyro damage.
- 2 Charges: Generates up to 3 Seeker Arrows based on charge time, which are released on aimed shot. Arrows follow nearby enemies, and deal Pyro damage when they hit.
- Diving attack : Shoots a shower of arrows from the air and dives to the ground, dealing area damage on impact.
- “Niwabi” fire dance : Yoimiya brandishes a sparkler, surrounding himself with a field of saltpetre.
- Niwabi Enshou: For the duration of this ability, arrows fired during Yoimiya's normal attack are flaming arrows, dealing more damage, and whose damage is converted to Pyro damage. During this period, the second charge level of its normal Pyroblast attack does not generate seeker arrows. The effect ends when Yoimiya leaves the battlefield.
- Saxifrage Ryuukin : Yoimiya soars into the air with his original creation, the "Ryuukin Saxifrage" and fires flaming rockets full of surprises, which inflict area Pyro damage, and mark an enemy with a "Ryuukin Flame".
- Ryuukin Flame: Normal, Charged, and Dipping Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts of all team characters (except Yoimiya) generate an explosion when hitting an enemy marked with a Ryuukin Flame, dealing Pyro damage of area. When an enemy marked with a Ryuukin Flame is defeated before the effect ends, the effect is transferred to a nearby enemy who inherits the remaining duration. It is possible to generate an explosion every 2 seconds max. When Yoimiya is defeated, the effect of the Ryuukin Flames generated by her abilities ends.
Passive Skills
- Sleight of hand : While "Niwabi" Fire Dance is active, Yoimiya's normal attacks increase his Pyro damage bonus by 2%. This effect lasts 3 seconds and can stack up to 10 times.
- Dawn of a summer night : When Yoimiya releases Saxifrage Ryuukin, the attack of all other characters in the team (except Yoimiya) increases by 10% for 15 seconds. In addition, each stack of the passive skill "Sleight of Hand" that Yoimiya possesses when executing Golden Saxifrage increases this attack bonus by 1%.
- Maximum profitability : Yoimiya has a 100% chance to recover some of the materials used by crafting decorations, amenities, or landscape decorations.
Constellation
- Agate Ryuukin : Extends the duration of the Ryuukin Flame generated by Saxifrage Ryuukin by 4 seconds. Additionally, when an enemy affected by Flame Ryuukin is defeated during the duration of the effect, Yoimiya's attack increases by 20% for 20 seconds.
- bonfire procession : When the Pyro damage inflicted by Yoimiya results in a critical hit, the latter gains a 6% Pyro damage bonus for 25 seconds. This effect also applies when Yoimiya is part of the team, but not deployed.
- Ingenious flames : Skill level “Niwabi” Fire Dance +3.
- Pyrotechnics pro : Reduces the cooldown of Fire Dance "Niwabi" by 1,2 seconds when Yoimiya's Ryuukin Flame triggers an explosion.
- Night of a summer festival : Level d'aptitude Saxifrage Ryuukin +3.
- Nagonahara meteor shower : While "Niwabi" Fire Dance is active, Yoimiya's normal attacks have a 50% chance to unleash an additional flaming arrow that deals 60% of the original damage. This damage is considered normal attack damage.
How to play Yoimiya
Yoimiya is a character who will be played mainly in DPS given the nature of his abilities, and in particular with using his charged shot when his elemental skill is not active (to get elemental particles). With the Dance of Fire, Yoimiya's normal attack is then very reinforced, and this is where it will be necessary to chain the basic attacks, leaving out the charge.
Her Dance disappears when another character comes into play. A use that brings her a little closer to Hu Tao, and which does not allow her to fit into teams that advocate alternation between characters.
Yoimiya's main weakness remains above all the competition she encounters with all the other Pyro characters in the game. If she remains a good level 5-star character, there are other more effective Pyro characters, which will not prevent her obviously not to be fun to play and powerful with the right artifacts.
With whom to play Yoimiya?
We prefer to play Yoimiya in compositions where she can chain elemental reactions, especially when her normal attacks inflict Pyro damage. To do this, favor characters whose skills allow them to inflict elemental damage over time. Here is a list of characters that work well with Yoimiya:
- fischl
- Beidou
- Winds
- Sucrose
- Kazuha
- Xingquiu
- Bennett
Best Yoimiya Gear
Which weapon for Yoimiya?
- Thunder Pulse (5★) : Unsurprisingly, the 5-star arc that arrives at the same time as the character is naturally a good choice. With its critical damage boost and especially a passive that considerably increases the attack, Yoimiya will be able to do a lot of damage with it.
- Arch of Amos (5★) : The passive playing on the charge and normal attack bonus suits Yoimiya well, in addition to the attack bonus;
- rusty bow (4★) : A very good choice especially for his passive, given that Yoimiya does a lot of normal attack (the loss on the charged attack is not really a problem).
- Peaceful Moon (4★) : A bow available to everyone that increases attack. Less useful than Rusty Bow due to its effect which only favors the charged attack, but it can be useful while waiting for a better bow.
Best set for Yoimiya
Witch of Burning Flames : The most obvious choice for all Pyro damage focused characters, especially on elemental damage based teams. Can be played in two as well as in four pieces. :
Gladiator Curtain : An obvious choice to complete the first set, given that offense is favored as a stat on Yoimiya.- tangle flower : Again, can be played in 2 or 4 pieces. In 2 pieces to be combined with one of the other sets, but also in 4 pieces to do damage in a team that generates elemental reactions.
Which main stats to prioritize over accessories?
hourglass : Attack %
Cut : Pyro damage
Headdress/Crown : Critical Damage > Critical Rate
Which sub-stats first for Yoimiya?
- Attack %
- critical rate
- Critical damage
- Basic mastery
