Yohimiya is finally available thanks to the new Tapestry of Golden Flames banner by Genshin impact. Getting a five-star character requires a lot of luck and a big investment of Intertwined Fates, so before wasting resources you might want to learn more about the fighting style and the most efficient sets for the character.
Yoimiya, the "queen of the summer festival", specializes in the use of the bow and the element Pyro. Her fighting style revolves around the use of flaming arrows and special abilities based on fireworks, a peculiarity that among other things sets her apart from the rest of the cast of miYoHo's action RPG. In this Genshin Impact guide we will explain everything you need to know about the Tapestry of Gold Flames banner, the best skills and builds for Yoimiya.
The Tapestry of Gold Flames banner: how to get Yoimiya
The only way to get Yoimiya is thanks to the banner Tapestry of Golden Flames, which will be available on Genshin Impact until Tuesday 31 August. Being an event banner, to express the "wishes" you will have to use the Intertwined Fates, obtainable above all by purchasing them with your hard-earned Primogems.
Yoimiya isn't the only character available with the banner. In total there are 6 5-star rarity characters and 16 4-star rarity characters, including the other new addition to Tapestry of Golden Flames, the ninja Sayu. Fortunately, the chances of getting Yoimiya, Diona and Xinyan will be higher for the duration of the event.
If you are aiming for Yoimiya it is good to know the gacha mechanics of Genshin Impact. The first time you get a 5-star character from the banner, there is a 50% chance that this is Yoimiya. Otherwise, the chances will rise to 100% with the next 5-star reward.
The odds of get an item of the highest rarity they are only 0,6% for each "wish", but luckily Genshin Impact has a mechanic designed not to make it too tedious to obtain characters, called "pity". Specifically, if you don't receive a five-star item within 89 attempts, the 100th will have a XNUMX% chance of being a reward of the highest rarity. This hidden counter obviously resets after obtaining a five-star character or weapon.
In practice: if you are unlucky and you will not be able to win even a 5-star character with wishes, with the ninetieth attempt you will have a 50% chance of getting Yoimiya. In the worst case, then you will get 100% the character with no more than 180 attempts. Of course there are many, but this is the most catastrophic of scenarios.
Combat skills, passives and constellations
As previously mentioned, getting the protagonist of a banner is not easy, so maybe you want to get an idea of the Yoimiya's skill before spending large amounts of Interwined Fates.
Yoimiya is armed with a bow and uses the Pyro element. Her abilities are based on the fireworks with which she sets enemy lines on fire. Her fighting style aims to both deal massive damage and create advantageous situations in co-op or when switching characters.
Here is an overview of the fighting talents by Yoimiya:
- Firework Flare-Up: Yoimiya's standard attack. He shoots up to five arrows consecutively without aiming. Press and hold the dedicated key or the aiming key to switch to the charged attack. While aiming, different effects will also activate depending on how long you wait before firing. With the level 1 charge, the hit receives elemental properties and will inflict Pyro damage on the unfortunate player. Upon reaching level 2 charge, Yoimiya generates up to three additional flaming bolts that will also hit enemies near your target. Finally, the attack from above deals area damage on impact.
- Elemental Skill - Niwabi Fire-Dance: Upon activating this ability, Yoimiya surrounds himself with gunpowder for several seconds. While the effect is active, all standard attacks become fiery hits that deal increased and Pyro element damage. Conversely, the Charged Attack's Level 2 charge no longer generates additional bolts. In practice, the best way to take advantage of this skill is to launch a series of very fast standard attacks.
- Elemental Burst - Ryuukin Saxifrage: with his special move Yoimiya hurls a giant firework at opponents, inflicting massive damage to the Pyro element area. Not only that, one of the unfortunates is branded with the "Aurous Blaze". Any attack made by another party member on an enemy with this altered status triggers an explosion, dealing Pyro elemental area damage. The Aurous Blaze will switch to another enemy if the one originally marked is defeated before the effect wears off. At least two seconds must pass between an explosion.
Here are the bonuses given by passive talents by Yoimiya:
- Tricks of the Trouble-Maker: While the effect of Niwabi Fire-Dance is active, normal attacks gain a 2% Pyro damage bonus for each hit scored. This effect lasts for 3 seconds and can be stacked up to ten times. To put it very simply, once the ability is activated the more attacks you hit, the more they hurt. A simple but very effective passive.
- Summer Night's Dawn: Upon activating Ryuukin Saxifrage, party members (excluding Yoimiya) receive a 10% boost to the attack stat for 15 seconds. Add to this an extra 1% depending on how many Tricks of the Trouble-Maker bonuses you have accumulated, for a maximum of 20%. To make the most of this passive, we recommend using Yoimiya's elemental ability before Elemental Burst, thus maximizing damage.
- Blazing Match: when Yoimiya creates decorations, ornaments and furnishing objects some of the necessary materials will not be used.
Finally, below we have listed the Constellation bonus:
- Agate Ryukin: Aurous Blaze's effect is extended by 4 seconds. When an enemy is defeated by it, Yoimiya's attack is increased by 20% for 20 seconds
- A Procession of Bonfires: When Yoimiya critically hits with Pyro damage, she gains a 25% bonus to elemental damage.
- Trickster's Flare: Increase the level of Niwabi Fire-Dance by 3, the maximum level of the upgrade is 15.
- Pyrotechnic ProfessionalNiwabi Fire-Dance's cooldown is reduced by 1,2 seconds when Aurous Blaze causes an explosion.
- A Summer Festival's Eve: Increases Ryukin Saxifrage's level by 3, the maximum upgrade level is 15.
- Naganohara Meteor Swarm: When Niwabi Fire-Dance's effect is active, Yomiya's standard attacks have a 40% chance to create an extra flaming arrow that deals half the damage.
The best builds for Yoimiya
While it has some support features, our tip for the build by Yoimiya is to aim to make it the main Pyro-type DPS of your team, perhaps alongside characters whose element has a good synergy with fire, such as Bennett and Xingqiu.
As for the equipment, the best choice is the Thundering Pulse, the new five-star rarity arc introduced with Genshin Impact update 2.0 and obtainable in the Epitome Invocation banner. This weapon offers a substantial critical damage bonus and a 20% boost to attack. In addition, the special effect of the bow allows you to accumulate Thunder Emblems, which increase the attack by 12/24/40%. If you have not yet obtained this weapon, alternatively we recommend the Skyward Arp (5 stars) or the Rust (4 stars).
For the Artifacts we recommend four pieces for the "Shimenawa's Reminiscense". With the two-piece bonus, you'll get a luscious 18% boost to attack. The four-piece bonus consumes 15 energy points to increase normal, charged, and top attacks by 50% for ten seconds. Alternatively, you can use two. pieces with Gladiator's Finale and Witch of Flames to increase Attack by 18% and Pyro damage by 15%.
