Yoimiya Genshin Impact Build Guide - Best Artifacts, Weapons & Teams
Yoimiya is a 5-star Pyro Bow DPS from Inazuma who specializes in fast single-target Normal Attack damage. This guide covers her best builds, weapons, artifacts, constellations, and team synergies.
Who Is Yoimiya?
Yoimiya is a limited 5-star Pyro Bow character from Inazuma, released in Version 2.0 (August 10, 2021). She is the owner of Naganohara Fireworks and is known for her cheerful personality, festival themes, and extremely fast Pyro-infused Normal Attack damage.
In combat, Yoimiya is a single-target Pyro DPS who deals most of her damage during Niwabi Fire-Dance, which converts her Normal Attacks into Pyro damage. She is especially strong against bosses and enemies that do not require heavy grouping, while her simple attack pattern makes her comfortable to play with shields or interruption resistance.

Skill Mechanics and Talent Priority
Normal Attack: Firework Flare-Up
Performs up to 5 consecutive bow shots.
Charged Attack has two charge levels, but Yoimiya's standard DPS playstyle focuses on Normal Attacks instead of Charged Attacks.
Her strongest damage comes from completing her Normal Attack string while her Elemental Skill is active.
The final hits in her Normal Attack combo have high value, so avoid dodging or cancelling too early when possible.
Elemental Skill: Niwabi Fire-Dance
Cooldown: 18s. Duration: 10s.
Converts Yoimiya's Normal Attack damage into Pyro damage.
Increases the damage of her Normal Attacks while active.
This is the core of Yoimiya's on-field DPS window.
The infusion ends when Yoimiya leaves the field, so finish her attack string before swapping out.
Elemental Burst: Ryuukin Saxifrage
Energy Cost: 60. Cooldown: 15s.
Deals AoE Pyro DMG and marks one enemy with Aurous Blaze.
When a character other than Yoimiya hits an enemy affected by Aurous Blaze, it triggers an explosion.
The Burst can add extra damage and team utility, but it is not the main focus of Yoimiya's build.
Some Shimenawa's Reminiscence rotations skip or delay her Burst because the set consumes Energy.
Passive Talents
Talent Leveling Priority
Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst
Highest Priority: Normal Attack - Yoimiya's main damage source during her Skill window.
Second Priority: Elemental Skill - increases her Pyro-infused Normal Attack damage.
Third Priority: Elemental Burst - useful, but lower impact than her Normal Attack and Skill.
For high investment, crown Yoimiya's Normal Attack first. Her Skill is also worth leveling, while her Burst can stay lower if using Shimenawa's Reminiscence rotations.
Best Artifacts
Main Stats
Substats: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge
Energy Recharge Requirements:
Shimenawa's Reminiscence builds: Energy Recharge is usually low priority because Burst usage is delayed or skipped.
Burst-inclusive rotations: around 120-140% depending on team particles.
With strong off-field Energy generation: lower Energy Recharge is usually acceptable.
Yoimiya values CRIT stats, ATK%, and Elemental Mastery in Vaporize teams. Elemental Mastery becomes less important in Mono Pyro or Overload-focused teams where Vaporize is not the main reaction.
Set Options
Shimenawa's Reminiscence is Yoimiya's most common set because her main damage comes from Pyro Normal Attacks during her Skill. Crimson Witch of Flames remains a strong alternative when Vaporize damage is a major part of the team.
Best Weapons
For most players, Thundering Pulse is Yoimiya's best weapon, Rust is her most reliable 4-star option, and Slingshot is an impressive low-cost weapon when paired with Bennett, Yun Jin, or other strong buffs.
Key Constellations
Recommendation: Yoimiya is fully playable at C0. C2 is her most practical early damage constellation, while C6 is a luxury upgrade for players who want to maximize her Normal Attack damage.
Team Compositions
Yoimiya teams usually want a Hydro applier, a buffer, and either a shielder or strong interruption resistance. Because her best damage comes from completing Normal Attack strings, shields are especially valuable for comfort and consistency.
Premium Vaporize Team
Double Hydro Vaporize Team
Yun Jin Vaporize Team
Overload Team
Mono Pyro Team
Rotation
Vaporize setup: Apply Hydro with Xingqiu or Yelan -> Use shield or support buffs -> Bennett Burst if used -> Yoimiya Skill -> complete Normal Attack strings.
Priority: Protect Yoimiya's Skill window so she can finish her full attack sequence.
Important: Avoid swapping out immediately after using Niwabi Fire-Dance, because Yoimiya loses her Pyro infusion when she leaves the field.
