Genshin Impact 2.8: Best artifact, weapon, and team comps for Yoimiya

Yoimiya has returned to feature banners in Genshin Impact's current version of 2.8, right after the rate-up banner of Kazuha, Klee, and Shikanoin Heizou. Yoimiya has proven herself worthy of being called one of the best Pyro bow-users in Genshin Impact.

She is an excellent main DPS with a massive damage output against single-target enemies through her normal attacks. Before going through the best artifacts, weapons, and team comps, here is a quick rundown of her abilities:

• Elemental Skill - Infuses her normal attacks with Pyro to deal increased Pyro DMG.
• Elemental Burst - Jumps into the air to deal AoE Pyro damage and marks one enemy with Aurora Blaze. Aurora Blaze will cause marked enemies to explode when party members attack it.
• A1 Passive - During her Elemental Skill, her passive increases her normal attack's Pyro attack.
• A4 Passive - When her Elemental Burst is cast, all party members excluding her receive a 10% increase in ATK.

Best artifacts

Here are some of the best artifact sets that fans can farm for Yoimiya:

• Shimenawa's Reminiscence
• Crimson Witch of Flames

The Shimenawa artifact set provides more attacks and increases Yoimiya's normal attacks when Elemental Skill is the case. However, casting Elemental Skill also foregoes 15 Energy Costs which will decrease the uptime on her Elemental Burst. Similarly, the Crimson set is the best set to build Yoimiya for vape or overload teams.

Yoimiya is extremely flexible with her team compositions. As the main DPS, she shines the brightest as the star of the show, looking for off-field supports that will maximize her single-target potential and utilize her capabilities as a normal attack DPS.

• Vaporize Teams: Xingiqu or Yelan
• Overload Teams: Fischl or Beidou
• Yunjin NA Carry: Yunjin + Flex spots

These are the most sought after team comps for Yoimiya, where the vacant spots can be filled with flex characters such as Zhongli, Raiden, Venti, or support characters such as Kazuha or Bennett.
