As the festivities reignite in Genshin Impact, Yoimiya, graces the game once more. Yoimiya's kit lies in her capacity for swift and concentrated damage dealing, excelling particularly in single-target combat scenarios. Equipping her with the right weapon is crucial to unlocking her full potential on the battlefield. Here's a comprehensive rundown of the best weapons for Yoimiya in Genshin Impact 4.3.
Choosing the Perfect Weapon for Yoimiya
Selecting a bow for Yoimiya hinges on augmenting her damage-dealing capabilities, focusing on key statistics:
Normal Attack Damage: Vital for scaling her elemental skill.
Attack: Boosts damage output.
Critical Rate & Critical Damage: Essential for a strong DPS unit.
Thundering Pulse (Five Star)
Yoimiya's signature weapon, Thundering Pulse, stands out as the paramount choice. Its synergy with Shimenawa’s Reminiscence artifact set enhances her base attack and critical damage rate. The "Rule By Thunder"ability gives buffs based on Thunder Emblem stacks, acquired through attacks and skills.
Rust (Four Star)
Despite being a four-star bow, Rust competes admirably with five-star options due to its significant normal attack damage increase. Only compensating with a minor reduction in charged attack damage, a less crucial aspect of Yoimiya's arsenal.
Skyward Harp (Five Star)
Offering a large boost to crit damage and crit rate, Skyward Harp complements Yoimiya's playstyle. With refined ranks, its passive amplifies her damage potential.
Polar Star (Five Star)
Enhancing elemental skill and burst damage, Polar Star's Ashen Nightstar stacks grant escalating attack boosts. Its critical rate contributes to a well-rounded damage-dealing arsenal.
Aqua Simulacra (Five Star)
Featuring high crit damage, Aqua Simulacra empowers Yoimiya's close-range attacks, boosting damage dealt when enemies are nearby. The health bonus and damage increase ensure sustained combat.
Striking a balance between primary statistics—normal attack damage, attack, critical rate, and critical damage—is imperative in building Yoimiya. While five-star bows offer unmatched potential, several four-star options, especially Rust, stand tall. It also provides remarkable synergy with her combat style without relying on chance-based acquisition from event wishes.
