Yanfei, the 4-star Pyro Catalyst user, is the child of an adeptus father and human mother that serves as a legal advisor for Liyue residences. Her main strength is her Scarlet Seals, which can be unleashed to deal massive Pyro damages. Here’s one of the best Yanfei builds that you can try for your Genshin Impact team.

YouTuber Gacha Gamer has made a pretty detailed Genshin Impact video regarding Yanfei’s build. But if you prefer a text guide or don’t have time to watch the almost-9-minutes long video, you can read the key takeaways below.

In the Genshin Impact video above, Gacha Gamer points out that managing her Scarlet Seals will be extremely important since it buffs her Charged Attacks and lessens stamina consumption. Build up the Scarlet Seals from Normal Attacks or one Burst, then time it right to unleash them all with Yanfei’s Charged Attack.

  • Wanderer’s Troupe:
  • 2-pieces: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.

Getting a Wanderer’s Troupe full set would be optimal to boost her Charged Attacks. But if you can’t, use 2-pieces of Noblesse Oblige and Crimson Witch of Flames for a nice addition to your damage output. 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale can be mixed-and-matched if you’re looking to add raw damages, but it’s not really your best option. Get full Lavawalkers if you intend to power up her Pyro damages.

Gacha Gamer also added to always look for Crit Rate/Damage, Attack, and Energy Recharge substats instead of just playing around with full sets all the time. Go with Attack bonus for Sands, Pyro Damage for Goblet, and Crit Rate or Damage for Circlet.

For Constellations, C2 Right of Final Interpretation is an obvious pick since it buffs up your Charged Attack. And C6 Extra Clause will help you eat less stamina and deal more damage from Charged Attacks. C4 Supreme Amnesty is “fascinating” since it can give you a pretty huge shield for an additional defensive option but is not a priority.
