Meet Yoimiya: The Pyro DPS Queen You Might Be Sleeping On
Yoimiya owns Naganohara Fireworks. She’s a Main DPS Pyro character in Genshin Impact. She lights up the battlefield with her energy. Let’s explore why she deserves a slot on your team.
Yoimiya: More Than Just a Smiling Face
Let’s learn more about Yoimiya beyond the glitter and her grin.
- Full Name: Naganohara Yoimiya.
- Role: Main DPS. She inflicts damage while enemies flee.
- Element: Pyro.
- Age: She’s likely 21 or 22. Young yet responsible in leading a fireworks business.
- Dialect: Speaks with a Kansai dialect.
- Origin Speculation: Possible connection to Kitsune Saiguu, a notable Inazuman figure.
Is Yoimiya Actually… Good? Spoiler: Yes.
Let’s see if Yoimiya is worth your Primogems. In a meta filled with Hu Tao and Xiangling, she often gets overlooked.
- Fully Functional at C0: No need for constellations. She shines right from the start.
- Constellations? Nice, But Not Essential: They enhance her, but they’re not a must.
- Easy to Build: Plenty of artifacts and weapons suit her well.
- Artifact Flexibility: Different artifact sets work for her, depending on your style.
- Underrated Queen: Compared to Hu Tao and Xiangling, she’s different but not weak.
- Not a “Must-Pull” for Meta Chasers: There may be “better” options, but enjoyment matters most.
- Playstyle Matters: Love her style? Pull for her! Enjoyment beats meta battles.
- Yoimiya vs. Hu Tao: The Damage Discourse: Hu Tao does more damage. Yet, every character can clear the Abyss.
- DPS Role Breakdown: Normal Attack Superstar: Yoimiya shines as a damage dealer with her Elemental Skill.
- Burst Damage? Possible, But…: Burst damage isn’t her strength; it’s better to focus on normal attacks.
Building Yoimiya: From Sparkler to Firework Show
Ready to build Yoimiya? Here’s how to do it:
Scaling Stats: What Makes Yoimiya Go Boom?
- ATK%: Stack ATK high for best damage!
- CRIT Rate/DMG: Keep a 1:2 ratio of Crit Rate to Crit DMG.
- Pyro DMG Bonus: It boosts her Pyro damage significantly.
- Elemental Skill Talent Level: Level this up to increase her normal attack damage multiplier.
Artifacts: Dress to Impress (and Explode)
- Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (4-piece): Ideal set. Massive ATK buff, but be cautious of energy drain.
- Crimson Witch of Flames (4-piece): Best for reaction-heavy teams, boosts reactions nicely.
- 2pc Crimson Witch + 2pc Shimenawa/Gladiators: Good overall option; pairs well with many teams.
Artifact Mainstats: The Holy Trinity
- Sands: ATK% – No surprise here.
- Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus – Amplify that fire!
- Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit DMG – Balance is crucial.
Weapons: From Sparklers to Rocket Launchers
- Thundering Pulse (5-star): Perfect for Yoimiya. Best-in-slot.
- Skyward Harp (5-star): Another excellent option with great Crit Rate substat.
- Rust (4-star): Budget option that performs surprisingly well.
- R3 Rust vs. 5-stars: R3 Rust can outperform most R1 5-star bows.
- R1 Rust vs. Other 4-stars: R1 Rust still shines against other 4-star bows.
- Slingshot (3-star): Surprisingly effective with Bennett for ATK buffs.
Energy Recharge (ER): Less is More (Usually)
- Low ER Needs (~110%): Yoimiya’s burst isn’t core to her damage.
- Burst Every Other Rotation: Its usage every other turn is often enough.
- Burst Usage Strategy: Use when available or skip entirely if using Shimenawa’s.
- Energy for Shimenawa’s: Ensure at least 15 Energy for Skill use with 4pc Shimenawa’s.
Talents: Normal Attacks Reign Supreme
- Normal Attacks = Pyro Mayhem: Yoimiya turns normal attacks into Pyro damage for 10 seconds.
Team Synergy: Lighting Up Teyvat Together
Yoimiya is strong solo, but she shines brighter with the right team. Here’s who to pair her with:
Best Supports: Who to Bring to the Party?
- Beidou: Great synergy! Beidou offers damage and shields at C1.
Shielders: Safety First, Explosions Second
- Zhongli: Strongest shield in the game keeps Yoimiya safe while she attacks.
- Diona, Thoma, Noelle: Great alternatives if Zhongli isn’t available.
Overload Teams: Fast Attacks, Big Explosions
- Yoimiya + Overload = Profit: Her rapid attacks trigger Overload reactions easily.
- Fischl (Cons Recommended): Excellent pairing for greatest Electro application, especially with constellations.
Recommended Teammates: The Dream Team
- Xingqiu (Sometimes): Best with Hu Tao, but consider your team composition.
- Sucrose/Kazuha: Elemental grouping works well. Kazuha is premium if you have him.
