Overview

Outline

Yaoyao is a 4-star playable Polearm Dendro character in Genshin Impact.

She was Xiangling's junior disciple under the same martial arts master, but has since become an assistant for Ganyu.

Talents

• Normal Attack: Toss 'N' Turn Spear

1. Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.
2. Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
3. Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

• Elemental Skill: Raphanus Sky Cluster

Calls upon "Yuegui: Throwing Mode," a special device created by a certain adeptus to help Yaoyao solve her problems.

This skill will be used differently in Holding Mode.

Hold: Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the throw direction.

Yuegui: Throwing Mode

Throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao's Max HP. If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.

Yuegui: Throwing Mode will choose its radish-throw targets.

1. If all nearby characters have more than 70% HP remaining, then it will throw the radish at a nearby opponent.
2. If nearby characters have 70% or less HP remaining, it will throw a radish at the character with the lowest HP percentage remaining. If no opponents exist nearby, Yuegui will throw White Jade Radishes at characters even if they all have more than 70% HP remaining.

A maximum of 2 instances Yuegui: Throwing Mode can exist at any one time.

• Elemental Burst: Moonjade Descent

At the enjoinment of a certain adeptus, Yuegui's full potential can be unleashed in an emergency, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents and entering an (in some sense) unsurpassed Adeptal Legacy state.

Adeptal Legacy

1. White Jade Radishes generated will be changed to heal and deal DMG according to this skill. Explosions will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG instead.
2. Summons "Yuegui: Jumping Mode" at intervals until their limit has been reached. The behavior of this version of Yuegui is the same as that of "Yuegui: Throwing Mode" in the Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster. A maximum of 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode can exist at any one time.
3. Yaoyao's Movement SPD is increased by 15%.
4. Yaoyao's Dendro RES will be increased.

The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.

• 1st Ascension Passive: Starscatter

While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao will constantly throw White Jade Radishes at nearby opponents when she is sprinting, jumping, or running. She can throw 1 White Jade Radish this way once every 0.6s.

• 4th Ascension Passive: In Others' Shoes

When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will regain HP every 1s based on 0.8% of Yaoyao's Max HP. This effect lasts 5s.

• Utility Passive: Tailing on Tiptoes

When Yaoyao is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them.

Check the "Other" sub-category of the "Living Beings / Wildlife" section in the Archive for creatures this skill works on.

Constellation

• Level 1: Adeptus' Tutelage

When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will gain 15% Dendro DMG Bonus for 8s and have 15 Stamina restored to them. This form of Stamina Restoration can only be triggered every 5s.

• Level 2: Innocent

While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent, if White Jade Radish explosions damage opponents, 3 Energy will be restored to Yaoyao. This form of Energy regeneration can occur once every 0.8s.

• Level 3: Loyal and Kind

Increases the Level of Raphanus Sky Cluster by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

• Level 4: Winsome

After using Raphanus Sky Cluster or Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao's Elemental Mastery will be increased based on 0.3% of her Max HP for 8s. The maximum Elemental Mastery she can gain this way is 120.

• Level 5: Compassionate

Increases the Level of Moonjade Descent by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

• Level 6: Beneficent

For every 2 White Jade Radishes Yuegui: Throwing Mode throws out, it will also throw a Mega Radish that will have a larger AoE than the standard White Jade Radish and have the following effects upon exploding:

1. Deals AoE Dendro DMG based on 75% of Yaoyao's ATK.
2. Restores HP for the active character based on 7.5% of Yaoyao's Max HP.

Every Yuegei: Throwing Mode can throw out a maximum of 2 Mega Radishes.

Personality

Whenever The Crux stocks up at Liyue Harbor, she often goes on board to play with them until they set sail. However, this has also caused problems as someone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs tasked Ganyu with trying to ensure she doesn't sneak onto their ship. She also has taken a liking to seafood, neglecting fruits and vegetables in her diet.

Character Mentions

• Qiqi (Genshin Impact)

Cute. Like a nice little finch.

• Ganyu (Genshin Impact)

Yaoyao... Someone I know at the Ministry of Civil Affairs tasked me with keeping an eye on her in the city, making sure she doesn't try and sneak aboard the Crux... Oh, you want to know what the Ministry of Civil Affairs does? ...Who knows, am I right!? Heh... Who knows what they do? ...Not me...

• Xiangling

Hee-hee, I'm proud to call her my junior! She hasn't swung by the Wanmin Restaurant in ages, though. Maybe master is trying to protect her from me or something... Last time we hung out, I was about to dig into some fresh raw octopus from the Sea of Clouds, but not only did she stop me from eating it, she sent master to tell me off too! Ugh... Honestly, sometimes it feels like I'm the one who gets treated like the junior...

• Beidou (Genshin Impact)

Yaoyao always comes on board to play when we're in the harbor. Trouble is, when it's time for her to go she gives you the puppy eyes, and no one has the heart to send her away... Means we're always cutting it quite close by the time we manage to set sail.

• Ningguang

I presume you mean the girl whom Ganyu has taken under her wing. Do not worry, I have no plans to make this matter public. I am content to extend some leniency to the odd bit of mischievous maneuvering by that boat captain. One thing, though — Yaoyao seems to have become somewhat enamored with seafood lately. You should try to convince her to include some more fruits and vegetables in her diet.
