Yaoyao is one of the most anticipated characters in Genshin Impact and was officially confirmed to be a Dendro healer and polearm unit.

She was initially teased by MiHoyo back in 2021 and fans have been eagerly waiting for her release. She is yet to make an official appearance and this year's Lantern Rite event will be the first time that fans will get to interact with her.

2) Yun Jin

Yun Jin is a Geo polearm support unit that can buff normal Attack Damage with her skills. Her gameplay makes her a great support unit for any DPS unit that deals damage with Normal Attacks such as Yoimiya.

3) Xinyan

Like the previous two characters, Xinyan also hails from Liyue and is one of the only two Pyro Claymore characters in Genshin Impact. With sufficient investment, she can become a decent sub-DPS character.
