How do I get the best artifact set for a physical DPS Yoimiya build?

Building a Firepower: Yoimiya’s Physical DPS Journey

Yoimiya, the cheerful firework queen, is a fantastic physical damage dealer when built correctly. You’ll want to focus on maximizing her physical damage output, and that starts with finding the right artifact set.

The Core: Crimson Witch of Flames

While you might think "Fire" doesn’t belong with "Physical," hear me out. Crimson Witch of Flames is the best choice for Yoimiya’s physical build. Here’s why:

• 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Pyro damage by 15%. This may seem counterintuitive, but it actually boosts your physical damage. Yoimiya deals physical damage with her Normal Attacks, which are boosted by her Pyro damage.
• 4-Piece Bonus: Increases your Pyro damage by 50% when you hit an enemy with a Pyro attack. This includes her Elemental Skill, "Nishinogami Fire-Dance." This constant boost to your Pyro damage translates into higher physical damage throughout the fight.

Additional Boost: Pale Flame

Pale Flame is a great additional set to use with Crimson Witch. The key is the 2-Piece Bonus, which increases your Physical Damage by 25%. This is a direct boost to your damage output, making it a perfect pairing.

The Power of Substats

While the artifact sets give you the base, the true power comes from the Substats. You’ll want to prioritize:

• Physical Damage Bonus: This is the bread and butter of your physical Yoimiya build. The more, the better!
• Attack: This increases the base damage output of all your attacks, including physical damage.
• Critical Rate/Damage: These stats are crucial for maximizing the damage of each hit. Aim for a balance, as Critical Rate ensures your hits land at the highest potential.

Go for the Gold: Artifact Farming

You’ll need to farm the Crimson Witch of Flames set from the Domain of Guyun in Liyue. It might take time, but patience is key! And don’t forget to farm Pale Flame as well, which drops from Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern, also in Liyue.

Weapon Choices: Forging Power

For your weapon, you have a few excellent options:

• The Unforged: A 5-star claymore with high base attack and Crit Rate.
• Snow-Tombed Starsilver: A 4-star claymore with good base attack and a strong passive that increases physical damage based on enemy HP.
• Serpent Spine: A 4-star claymore that increases attack based on health.

The Importance of Team Synergy

Yoimiya’s physical build shines with support characters who can boost her damage, provide energy recharge, and offer elemental reactions. Consider using:

• Bennett: His ultimate boosts attack and provides Pyro damage, amplifying both your physical and Pyro damage.
• Rosaria: She provides physical damage bonus and can freeze enemies, allowing Yoimiya to attack without interruptions.
• Kazuha: He provides elemental damage bonus, and his Swirl reaction can further boost Yoimiya’s damage.

Building Yoimiya: A Gradual Journey

Remember, building a character like Yoimiya is a process. You might not get the perfect artifacts immediately. Focus on gradual improvement, farming for better substats and enhancing your artifacts as you go. With time and dedication, you’ll build a formidable Yoimiya capable of unleashing incredible physical damage!
