How to Play Yaoyao

Last updated:

Overview

Yaoyao's skill deploys Yuegui that throws radishes healing allies and applying Dendro to enemies. Her burst deploys multiple Yuegui with faster throws. Healing scales with HP%. She can wear Deepwood for RES shred or Gilded Dreams for EM. Low energy cost (80) with manageable ER needs.

How to Play

Cast skill for persistent Yuegui healing and Dendro, burst for enhanced Yuegui deployment. Stay on-field during burst for maximum radish throws, or swap off-field for skill-only healing. Yaoyao works best in Bloom teams needing both Dendro and healing.

Optimal Rotation

Yaoyao Skill, Xingqiu Skill/Burst, Kuki Skill/Burst, Kuki on-field, Yaoyao Burst (if healing needed). In Spread: Nahida Skill, Fischl Skill, Yaoyao Skill, Alhaitham on-field combo.

F2P Options

Moonpiercer or Kitain Cross Spear are craftable. Yaoyao is a 4★ from Liyue, C0 enables Bloom teams without Nahida. Deepwood 4pc makes her a budget Deepwood wearer. HP% sands and circlet for healing.

Common Mistakes

Building EM over HP% when using Yaoyao primarily as a healer. Not maintaining Yuegui uptime, skill radishes heal and apply Dendro passively. Using Yaoyao as Main DPS, she's a healer/support. Running Yaoyao when Nahida is available in the same role, Nahida is strictly better for Dendro application.
