Naganohara Yoimiya is a 5-star Pyro archer in Genshin Impact. She is the daughter of the Naganohara family, which is known for their fireworks. It is said that the Naganohara can make fireworks the exact same way as they previously did, as long as the customer keeps the order slip.

Yoimiya believes that fireworks can bring back memories, so they can be used to relive those moments. Because of her love for fireworks, players will notice that Yoimiya's combat skills are heavily influenced by it. Being born into the fireworks business also makes her a talented pyrotechnician. So, it only makes sense that her vision is Pyro.

Updated on May 30, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: Ever since the release of Yoimiya, more content has been added to Genshin Impact. Although her best weapon and artifacts set remain the same, there are still new teams she can join that require a different approach to Yoimiya’s build. Not only that, but there are also new Bows and artifact sets that deserve a mention to give more variety to her best builds in Genshin Impact.

Yoimiya Best Artifact In Genshin Impact

yoimiya-best-artifact-in-genshin-impact

To inflict the absolute most DMG possible, players should build Yoimiya with artifacts that can enhance the DMG of her Normal attacks, like the Shimenawa's Reminiscence set. This set is made for Yoimiya since her Elemental Burst isn't stable at dealing damage. Yoimiya can sacrifice a portion of her energy in order to insanely buff her next portion of Normal attacks.

Players can also build Yoimiya with the Crimson Witch of Flames set, although players have to pair her with Hydro units like Xingqiu and Yelan in Genshin Impact. The Crimson set will buff all her Pyro reactions, on top of increasing her Pyro DMG.

In a mono-Pyro team comp, players can go for Echoes of an Offering or Lavawalker. Finally, Marechaussee Hunter and Retracing Bolide are also decent options when building Yoimiya. Both sets are situational and require certain teammates to meet their requirements. Marechaussee Hunter works when Yoimiya is teaming with Furina, while Retracing Bolide buffs Yoimiya’s DMG when she’s paired with a good shield user in Genshin Impact.

Yoimiya Best Weapon In Genshin Impact

As a pure DPS in Genshin Impact, Yoimiya needs a weapon that will take her DMG to the next level and add as much power as possible to her shots. Without a doubt, Thundering Pulse can achieve that since it’s her Signature weapon. Not only that, but Yoimiya can also easily unlock all Thundering Pulse’s passive stacks if she has the Shimenawa's Reminiscence set, which will immediately give her access to a great Normal attack DMG buff.

Aqua Simulacra is an amazing alternative to any Bow user in Genshin Impact who wants to maximize their DMG. It’s a standard DMG-dealing Bow that grants its wielder a whopping 88% Crit DMG with an easy-to-obtain 20% extra DMG from Aqua’s passive. Another 5-star option is Polar Star—a decent weapon for Yoimiya as a Crit Rate stat stick. However, Yoimiya will have to hit a charged attack before she enters her Elemental Skill’s state to unlock the Bow’s full potential. Speaking of stat sticks, Amos’ Bow and Skyward Harp are still a decent option before going to the 4-star weapons in Genshin Impact.

Ineffa provides damage bonuses for Lunar-Charged reaction in Genshin Impact, so including Hydro characters in Ineffa team comps is highly recommended.

For 4-star Bows, go for Rust, especially at R5. While it’s a popular weapon for Yoimiya, it isn’t quite as competitive with the 5-star Bows. However, because of how much Normal attack DMG it gives to Yoimiya, it’s one of her best Bows in Genshin Impact. Slingshot is very similar with its high Crit Rate and the 60% DMG increase, but it still suffers from a very low Base ATK as a 3-star weapon.

Finally, as a last resort, players can opt to build Yoimiya with Prototype Crescent, The Viridescent Hunt, and the rest of the 4-star offensive Bows. They all have a very similar DMG output, so it’s fine to use them until Yoimiya gets a better Bow in Genshin Impact.

Yoimiya Talent Priority In Genshin Impact

yoimiya-best-talents-in-genshin-impact

Yoimiya's talent priority in Genshin Impact is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. Yoimiya’s Elemental Skill increases her Normal Attack DMG, but since the basic multiplier is from Normal Attack, it must be prioritized over Skill. Meanwhile, considering Yoimiya’s Elemental Burst is somewhat unstable, it can be upgraded last. Just make sure not to ignore her Burst talent as it’s still a good source of damage.

Yoimiya Talent Level Recommendation

  • Normal Attack: 10
  • Elemental Skill: 9 to 10
  • Elemental Burst: 8 to 10
