Naganohara Yoimiya, the spirited fireworks enthusiast of Inazuma, is seeing her rerun Banner in Genshin Impact, and many players are likely wondering what the best build for this 5-Star Pyro character is. Yoimiya is considered to be one of the most accessible units to play, as she’s able to deal decent damage to single targets from a distance with her Bow. Accordingly, fans will need to provide her with a weapon and Artifact Set that bolsters her ability to execute Normal Attacks, which is the primary source of her DPS. Continue reading to learn what equipment is best for a Yoimiya DPS build in Genshin Impact. 

How To Build Yoimiya In Genshin Impact

Starting with Yoimiya’s weapon, there’s no doubt that Thundering Pulse, the featured 5-Star Bow of the current Weapon Banner, is the best choice for her build in Genshin Impact. The main appeal of this weapon is its ability to enhance Normal Attack DMG, which is the stat that determines Yoimiya’s damage output in combat.

Those who are less lucky with pulling the Thundering Pulse for Yoimiya can replace this Bow with Rust, an excellent 4-Star choice. This weapon also bolsters Normal Attack DMG, albeit at the cost of Charged Attack DMG loss. Alternatively, the Prototype Crescent is the best free-to-play option since it can be crafted at a forge. However, this Bow relies on the player’s ability to land shots on an enemy’s weak points, which might be a challenge for a unit whose kit is focused on auto-attack damage. Nevertheless, it is a sound option for a Yoimiya DPS build compared to other Bows in Genshin Impact.

Next, the best Artifact Set for a Yoimiya DPS build in Genshin Impact is Shimenawa’s Reminiscence. At two pieces, this set offers a bonus ATK %, and at four, the Shimenawa Artifacts increase the Yoimiya’s Normal Attack DMG by 50% for a 10-second duration. This buff is triggered whenever she has 15 or more Energy when casting an Elemental Skill. This effect is a massive boost to Niwabi Fire-Dance, allowing her to dish out significantly more damage to single targets. The main drawback is the Elemental Skill’s Cooldown of 18 seconds, meaning that players cannot receive Shimenawa’s buff that often. To get the Shimenawa’s Reminiscence Artifact Set in Genshin Impact, Travelers must clear the Momiji-Dyed Court, a Domain located on Yashiori Island, Inazuma. The only requirement to unlock this Domain is Adventure Rank 30 or higher.

Genshin Impact is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android.
