Optimizing Yoimiya’s DPS Power: The Artifact Hunt
Yoimiya, the "Nichirin" of Genshin Impact, is a fiery Pyro DPS who shines with her powerful charged attacks. But to truly unleash her full potential, you need the right gear – specifically, the best artifacts. Here’s a breakdown of how to find and equip those perfect pieces:
The Core: Crimson Witch of Flames
The Crimson Witch of Flames set is the undisputed king for Yoimiya. It provides a powerful combination of Pyro damage bonuses and a critical rate boost when you unleash your elemental skill. Here’s why it’s so great:
- 2-Piece Bonus: +15% Pyro damage. This directly boosts Yoimiya’s main damage source.
- 4-Piece Bonus: +15% Pyro damage, and your charged attacks gain an additional +50% Pyro damage for 10 seconds after using your elemental skill. This is the key part – it allows you to maximize your DPS during Yoimiya’s active time.
The Sub-Stats: A Powerful Combo
The perfect artifacts are more than just the set bonus, though. You need to pay attention to the sub-stats:
- Critical Rate: A high critical rate ensures your attacks hit harder more often. Aim for 60%-70% or higher.
- Critical Damage: This maximizes the power of your critical hits. Ideally, you want to reach 150% or more.
- Attack%: Increases your base attack, directly impacting the damage output of your charged attacks.
- Elemental Mastery: While not as important as the other stats, a little Elemental Mastery can boost Yoimiya’s damage with Vaporize or Melt reactions.
Building the Ideal Artifact Setup
- Flower and Feather: These are your main stat artifacts, and they always provide Attack%.
- Sands of Eon: Pick Attack% for the best overall damage.
- Goblet of Eonothem: Choose Pyro damage bonus for maximized Pyro damage output.
- Circlet of Logos: Your choice here depends on your overall build:
- Critical Rate: If you’re lacking in critical rate, this is the way to go.
- Critical Damage: If you’ve got a good amount of critical rate, prioritize this for maximum damage potential.
Artifact Farming: A Long Journey
Farming for the perfect artifacts is a long and grueling process. Here’s a strategy to maximize your chances:
- Domain of the Crimson Witch: This domain is the primary source for Crimson Witch of Flames artifacts.
- Focus on Specific Stat Combinations: Don’t waste time on artifacts with useless sub-stats. Look for pieces with Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Attack%, or Elemental Mastery.
- Use Resin Wisely: Only spend your Resin on domains with the artifact sets you need.
- Don’t Get Discouraged: Finding the perfect pieces can take a lot of time, so be patient and persistent.
Extra Tips for Yoimiya’s DPS:
- Weapon Choice: Yoimiya thrives with weapons that boost her attack or critical rate. Consider weapons like Thundering Pulse, Skyward Harp, or Hamayumi.
- Elemental Reactions: While not her primary strength, Vaporize or Melt reactions can significantly boost Yoimiya’s damage. Try pairing her with Hydro or Cryo characters for these reactions.
- Support Characters: Use characters like Bennett and Kazuha to provide attack buffs and increase Yoimiya’s overall damage.
Finding the best artifacts for Yoimiya takes time and dedication. But with a focused approach and a bit of luck, you can unleash her full power and watch her burn through enemies with fiery grace.
