Do you like radishes? If not, Yao Yao will quickly fix that, because she uses only this vegetable in battle. She heals with it, and she also maims with it, so sooner or later you will also love radishes.
And to make this happen faster, we will tell you how to build Yao Yao and what artifacts and weapons are suitable for her.
Genshin Impact Hero Description
This girl is not just a child. She is Madam Ping’s junior who studied with Xiangling and Gan Yu. Yao Yao is helpful and inquisitive, and many people in Liyue Harbor know and love her. The Guardian of Clouds gave her a rabbit protector named Yuegui, who, although he looks like a cute toy, can fight.
In fact, this is what Yao Yao uses in battle. The rabbit throws radishes at enemies, inflicting the Dendro status on them, and heals allies.
How to get Yao Yao
Since Dendro Girl is a 4★ character, you can get her from any banner. But remember that if the drop rate is increased for Yao Yao, she will drop from the banner more often. Also, like other characters from Liyue, you can choose to take her in the Sea Lanterns event.
Advantages and disadvantages
| pros | Minuses |
| · Quite versatile and will fit into many squads not only as a healer, but also as a Dendro applicator if there is no Nahida.
· Increases her HP when elevated, enhancing her healing abilities. · Easy to assemble due to a fairly good selection of weapons. · After receiving the first constellation, he can buff allies with Dendro damage and stamina during the ult. · Makes it easier to catch butterflies and other small animals, as it does not scare them away while it is in the squad. |
· Quite an expensive ult, which requires 80 energy to activate, because of this it requires high energy regeneration.
· As a support DD, he plays worse than as a healer, since the damage of his skills depends on the attack power. · The heal is “ticking”, meaning it takes time to heal and is tied to the area where the radish hits. · Only works in squads where a Dendro character is needed, in others it can disrupt reactions. |
Talents and abilities
Basic skills
| Skill name | Purpose | Skill Description |
| Spinning Spear | Normal attack | Strikes enemies with a spear, performing a 4-hit combo. |
| Charged attack | Consumes some stamina and dashes forward, hitting all enemies in the way. | |
| Attack in the fall | Spins with the spear and falls to the ground, dealing physical damage in an area. | |
| Heavenly Cluster of Radish | Elemental Skill (E) | Summons Throwing Yuegui, who throws radishes at enemies and heals allies. Long press to choose the direction the helper rabbit will appear.
Throwing Yuegui : Throws a White Jade Radish at enemies that explodes on impact, dealing damage to enemies. If the Radish hits a character, their HP is restored based on Yao Yao’s Max HP. If the radish does not reach the enemy, it remains on the ground and will explode upon contact with it, or when the skill’s duration expires. The target for throwing radish is selected according to the following points: · if nearby allies have 70% HP or less, Yuegui will throw it at the character first; · If the characters’ HP is above 70%, then the enemies will be the priority for the throw. There can be no more than 2 Yueguis on the field at the same time. |
| Descent of the Moon Jasper | Elemental Burst (Ulta) | Releases the power of Yuegui and enters the state of the Adept’s Legacy.
Legacy of the Adepts : White Jade Radish is strengthened and deals more damage to Dendro when it explodes. Jumping Yaegui are periodically summoned to the battlefield until their number reaches 3. Jumping Yaegui works exactly like Throwing Yaegui. Yao Yao’s movement speed is increased by 15%, and her resistance to Dendro damage is also increased. If Yao Yao leaves the battle, the Disciples’ Legacy is broken. |
Passive Talents

What weapon to install
Spear of Favonius
The best option for Yao Yao, even though the spear does not give her HP. The thing is that with this weapon she will be able to gain the ult faster not only for herself, but also for her allies. The only requirement is to gain more critical hit chance, but this can be done in the secondary characteristics of artifacts.

At level 90, the spear provides 565 attack power and 30.8% energy regeneration. The passive works as follows: the wearer’s critical attacks have a 60-100% chance to create spheres that restore 6 units of energy. The effect occurs once every 12-16 seconds.

Dialogue of the Desert Sages
This spear could only be obtained during the Alchemy Breakthrough event. If you played at that time and picked up the weapon, feel free to put it on Yao Yao. At maximum level, the Caduceus will give 510 attack power and 41.3% HP.

Passively, the character will restore 8-16 units of energy each time he heals allies. The effect is activated once every 10 seconds and works even when the wearer is not on the battlefield.
Just reward
If there is no previous option, but you want a spear specifically for HP, you can craft a Fair Reward in the forge. For pumping up to 90 levels, we will get 565 attack power and 27.6% HP.

The passive works like this: when HP is restored, the wearer receives 8-16 units of energy. The effect is triggered once every 10 seconds and is activated even if the character is “in the pocket”.
Piercing the Moon
Another craftable option, but this time we get Elemental Mastery, which is important for Dendro characters. In addition, this spear allows Yao Yao to buff allies. At level 90, the stats are as follows: 565 attack power, 110 elemental mastery.

When any elemental reaction is triggered with Dendro, a Revival Leaf will appear on the field for 10 seconds. The character who picks it up can gain 16-32% of attack power for 12 seconds. The leaf can appear once every 20 seconds.
Black brush
For the “cheap and cheerful” type, there’s always the Black Brush. This weapon is easy to obtain, easy to level up, and gives pretty good stats for Yao Yao. At max level, we get: 354 attack power, 46.9% HP.

The passive is pretty useless here: damage to slimes increases by 40-80%. Nothing else…
Best Artifact Sets
Song of the Past
Top 1 among all sets on Yao Yao – Song of Old Times. Two parts of the set provide 15% bonus healing, and 4 parts, when healing allies for 6 seconds, create a bonus Striving, which records all received healing (even excess). After the Striving expires, Tides of Old Times appear.

Waves of Old Times increases all attacks of the active character by 8% of the recorded healing. The bonus is received by any ally and lasts for 10 seconds or 5 hits.
Sea color clam
Another good set is the Sea Dye Clam. Two pieces also provide a 15% healing bonus, and four pieces create a Bubble when healing allies, which records all healing received.

After the healing is complete, the Bubble explodes, dealing damage equal to 90% of the recorded healing. This effect can occur once every 3.5 seconds.

Millelite’s Resilience
Well, the third option that can be put on Yao Yao is Millelite’s Fortitude. In addition, the set will also buff allies in the end.

Two parts of the set give 20% HP, which is useful for healing allies. And 4 parts, when hit by E, increase the squad’s attack by 20% and shield strength by 30% for 3 seconds. The effect occurs once every 0.5 seconds.
