Yoimiya's kit allows her to imbue her Normal Attacks with Pyro via her Elemental Skill. Players can use this ability to deliver Pyro damage and trigger elemental reactions such as Vaporize, Melt, and more.

Similar to most DPS units, Yoimiya's kit scales off her attack and she greatly benefits from Crit Rate and Crit DMG as well. As such, it is recommended to prioritize these stats when building her.

Here are the main stats that players should use for Yoimiya's artifact pieces:

  • Flat ATK

For Yoimiya's talent priorities, it is suggested to level them up in this order:

Normal Attacks = Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst
