Genshin Impact Yaoyao Build Guide: Best Polearm Weapons, Artifacts, Teams, Talent Priority, Materials
Yaoyao is easiest to build when you decide the job first, then let weapons, artifacts, and teammates serve that job. For most accounts, Yaoyao works best as Dendro healer for Bloom, Quicken, and general sustain teams, so this guide focuses on practical gear choices, talent priority, team structure, rotation comfort, and the materials you should expect before committing resin.
Quick answer: Build Yaoyao around Dendro healer for Bloom, Quicken, and general sustain teams. Prioritize skill > burst > normal attack, use 4pc Deepwood Memories when needed as the first artifact target when it fits the team, and pick weapons from the recommended list only after the rotation has enough energy and survivability.
Yaoyao's role, element, weapon type, and talent names give the guide its baseline; the build advice below turns that profile into practical choices for current accounts.
Yaoyao Role And Build Snapshot
Yaoyao should be treated as Dendro healer for Bloom, Quicken, and general sustain teams. That one decision controls the artifact set, main stats, weapon value, and whether the team needs a battery, healer, shield, or stronger off-field application.
| Build choice | Recommended setup | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Main role | Dendro healer for Bloom, Quicken, and general sustain teams | Use this to decide field time and team order. |
| Artifact direction | 4pc Deepwood Memories when needed, 4pc Tenacity for support uptime, 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam for healing damage, or 2pc HP/healing sets | Choose the set that supports the role before min-maxing substats. |
| Main stats | HP or ER sands, HP goblet, Healing Bonus or HP circlet; EM only when she owns reactions | Fix energy, scaling stat, and survival before showcase CRIT. |
| Talent order | Skill > Burst > Normal Attack | Level what the rotation actually uses. |
Best Weapons For Yaoyao
Yaoyao Weapon Choices By Role
| Icon | Recommendation | Use case |
|---|---|---|
 | Favonius Lance 4-Star, Energy Recharge | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
 | Black Tassel 3-Star, HP Percentage | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
 | Moonpiercer 4-Star, Elemental Mastery | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
 | Rightful Reward 4-Star, HP Percentage | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
 | Kitain Cross Spear 4-Star, Elemental Mastery | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
 | Prototype Starglitter 4-Star, Energy Recharge | Use when its sub-stat or passive supports the rotation. |
When choosing between weapons, test the second rotation rather than only the first burst window. If Yaoyao loses Burst uptime or the support passive misses the main damage window, a lower-rarity weapon with the right stat can be the better build.
Best Artifacts And Stats For Yaoyao

Rotation note: place Skill for Dendro and healing, use Burst for emergency team healing or Bloom-heavy windows, then swap back before she steals too much field time. The GIFs above are useful for checking timing, range, and animation commitment before you decide how much field time Yaoyao should take.
