Yaoyao is the first Dendro healer to come toGenshin Impact. The Disciple of Streetward Rambler hails from Liyue and wields the Polearm in combat (though she doesn’t use it, really). Yaoyao depends on her Elemental Skill and Burst to fulfill her purpose on the field.
As a Dendrohealer inGenshin Impact, Yaoyao has the potential to be a valuable asset to many team compositions, or even have one that revolves around her. Of course, for any player planning to pull for Yaoyao, this article will evaluate the importance of having her around.

Is It Worth Pulling For Yaoyao In Genshin Impact?
Yes, it is worth pulling for Yaoyao inGenshin Impact. While she suffers from low DMG, she still can offer so much to her team, especially carrying the burden of wielding 4pc of Deepwood Memories. Not only that, but her Dendro application amplifies the usefulness of Deepwood Memories and grants her the ability to perfectly shred enemies’ resistance.
Yaoyao Is A Healer
While she’s notthe best healer inGenshin Impact, Yaoyao is a reliable one, especially during her Burst. Her healing scales with HP, which is good since she gets more HP% from her ascension bonus. Players can also fully build her as a healer by maximizing the amount of HP she can get by giving her Black Tassel and building her on 4-Maiden Beloved. Healer Yaoyao can be a valuable asset in Nilou team compositions since she can cure the desperate need for Kokomi to be in those teams.
Yaoyao Is Clunky With A Good Dendro Application
Most of Yaoyao’s thrown Radishes are random, therefore, players have to run around hoping for the best during Yaoyao’s Burst duration. But this feature is actually positive since random targeting helps to make sure Yaoyao’s Dendro application is reaching all enemies faster.
That decent Dendro application helps Yaoyao rank higher thanother DendroGenshin Impactcharacters like Colleior Traveler since her Dendro isn’t bound by melee or skill positions.

Yaoyao Can Fit In Both Quicken And Bloom Team Comps
Because of her ability to easeDendro reactions inGenshin Impact, Yaoyao is flexible enough to fit in many team compositions. For example, her small duration of applying Dendro off-field can greatly benefit units like Cyno who suffers from not having a reliable Dendro unit that can follow up with his selfish time on the field, which makes her viable for any Quicken team.
When it comes to Nilou teams, they suffer from the Dendro-Hydro restriction, which forces players to play Kokomi or watch their characters fall to the Dendro cores. Now, Yaoyao is another healer to join the roster, adding more Dendro applications and the healing they need. She can still participate in Hyperbloom and Burgeon, but it’s not as recommended.

Yaoyao Strengths And Weaknesses
