Cover-Credits:
The second half of Version 4.3 of Genshin Impact is only a few days away. And players must once again debate whether they want to spend their hard-earned primogems. The second half of 4.3 will feature two rerun banners in Yoimiya and Raiden Shogun. The question looms: is it worth pulling for Yoimiya, or are there better alternatives? Let’s dive into the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.
Why You Should Pull for Yoimiya
1. Unique Playstyle and Design:
Despite being a bow user, Yoimiya's playstyle is fast-paced normal attacks, distinguishing her from other bow characters.
She excels at dealing single-target damage, making her a formidable main DPS choice.
Her character design might be appealing to players who appreciate her aesthetic and personality.
2. Effective Against Flying Enemies:
Yoimiya proves to be valuable against airborne enemies like the Aeonblight Drake, showcasing her versatility.
3. Flexible Team Compositions:
Yoimiya can fit into various team compositions. Including mono-Pyro, Vaporize, Overload, and even Burning setups.
If you already have Normal Attack buffers or a max refine Rust bow, she becomes an even stronger choice.
4. Synergies with Elemental Reactions:
Yoimiya's Pyro application can trigger powerful Elemental Reactions, such as Vaporize with characters like Xingqiu or Yelan.
Why You Should NOT Pull for Yoimiya:
1. Limited Party Options:
Optimal party setups for Yoimiya often need more characters, making her less self-sufficient compared to some alternatives.
She benefits from having a shielder to mitigate interruptions during attacks, potentially restricting team compositions.
2. Matchup Limitations:
Yoimiya may face challenges against many targets, impacting her effectiveness in situations that need more crowd control.
While excelling in single-target damage, she might struggle in scenarios with many opponents.
3. Preference and Future Plans:
If you don't resonate with Yoimiya's character design or playstyle, it might be wiser to save Primogems for characters aligning with your preferences.
If you're anticipating future 5-star characters or have a particular interest in Yae Miko, saving for those banners could be more strategic.
