Genshin Impact has brought one of the best Pyro DPS in the game, Yoimiya, back to character event banners in version 4.3. This is her fifth rerun, and many players have obtained her from her rate-up banner.

All DPS characters excel at dealing damage to their opponents, and players can unlock multiple constellations or get the signature weapon to unlock the character's full potential.

The same applies to Yoimiya, but it's not possible unless one whales in Genshin Impact. The best alternative that F2P and low spenders have is adding support characters that help characters like Yoimiya deal massive damage.

The following article will list some of the best support characters players should use in Yoimiya's team in Genshin Impact.

Best support characters to use for Yoimiya in Genshin Impact

1) Bennett

Bennett is one of the best support characters in-game. Despite being a 4-star, Bennett has an excellent kit that allows him to increase active character attack and heal them at the same time.

With Yoimiya and Bennett in the same party, Yoimiya will always have an attack buff from Bennett's burst. Similarly, they will also activate Pyro resonance, increasing the entire party's ATK by 25%.


2) Yun Jin

Since her debut, Yun Jin has become a must-have support character for every character that uses NA (normal attack) as the primary source of damage. Her kit allows her to buff other characters' NA damage in Genshin Impact.

She is pretty easy to build as well. Her stats are based on her total DEF. Although she can provide a shield for party members, she can tank damage with her Elemental Skill. Lastly, her utility improves when more of her constellations are unlocked.


3) Xingqiu

The Hydro Swordsman is yet another 4-star that every player must have on their roster. Famous for his fast Hydro application, Xingqiu works harmoniously with any Pyro DPS character that is part of a vaporize team.

Yoimiya and Xingqiu have exceptional synergy in Genshin Impact where she can vaporize her first, third, and last attack due to the ICD (Internal Cooldown). Xingqiu can provide a small amount of healing to the active character with his Elemental Skill.

4) Fischl

While Yoimiya and Xingqiu pair up to vaporize enemies, Yoimiya pairs up with Fischl when it is time to overload them. Popular for her off-field support, Fischl is a fast Electro enabler thanks to her Elemental Skill.

With a decent build, Fischl can have 100% uptime on her Elemental Skill for Yoimiya to keep causing reactions and dealing huge damage to all enemies. With multiple constellations, the fire rate of Fischl's raven significantly increases to where it can almost match Yoimiya's rapid-fire rate.


5) Zhongli

Even though Yoimiya packs a punch with her Elemental Skill, she is fragile and can easily be interrupted during her attacks. Hence, it is recommended to have a character in her party that can provide shields.

When talking about shields, there is only one person that comes to mind, and that is the former Geo Archon. Zhongli has the strongest shield that is based on his total health. Additionally, Zhongli can shred the enemy's resistance which will help Yoimiya deal more damage.


6) Yelan

While Yelan functions similarly to Xingqiu in Genshin Impact, her damage is considerably more. Alongside Yoimiya, the duo can deal massive amounts of damage when paired together. Players can consistently trigger vaporize and clear mobs after mobs with ease.

Yelan's Elemental Skill is also a very good aspect of her kit that can help fill the downtime of Yoimiya's Skill during rotations.
