Yanfei converts Normal Attacks into Scarlet Seals and spends those seals on stronger, wider Charged Attacks. Her skill and burst grant maximum seals; her burst also boosts Charged Attack damage while she remains on field.

Yanfei GUIDE
Understand Yanfei
Useful when…
On-field Pyro damage built around Charged Attacks.
Reducing Charged Attack stamina consumption by building Scarlet Seals first.
Finding nearby Liyue-exclusive resources during exploration.
Scarlet Seals and abilities
Each Normal Attack hit grants one Scarlet Seal, up to three, and refreshes the duration of seals already held. Each seal reduces stamina consumption, but all seals disappear when Yanfei leaves the field. Her Charged Attack consumes every seal; its damage and area increase with the number spent. Signed Edict deals AoE Pyro damage and grants maximum seals on hitting opponents. Done Deal also grants maximum seals, then provides Brilliance for 15 seconds: it periodically grants a seal and increases Charged Attack damage. Brilliance ends if Yanfei leaves the field or falls.
Talent focus and passives
Normal Attack talent levels support Yanfei’s on-field Charged Attack pattern. Invest in her burst when you regularly use its Charged Attack bonus, and in her skill when its AoE hit and quick seal setup matter. Proviso grants 5% Pyro DMG Bonus per seal consumed for six seconds; another Charged Attack during that window replaces the previous effect. Blazing Eye adds AoE Pyro damage equal to 80% of her ATK when a Charged Attack crits.
Field time and exploration
Leaving the field clears Yanfei’s seals and ends Brilliance, interrupting her seal-centered pattern. A Charged Attack consumes the whole seal stack, and still costs stamina even when seals reduce that cost. Her passive reveals nearby resources unique to Liyue on the mini-map.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Her seal loop rewards staying on field, while swapping clears seals and ends her burst state.
Charged Attacks consume stamina even when seals reduce the cost.
Common mistakes to avoid
Switching Yanfei out and expecting her seals or Brilliance to persist.
Using Charged Attacks at low seal counts when a larger seal stack is available.
Treating her seal-based stamina reduction as eliminating Charged Attack stamina cost.
Effects and reference details
Seal of Approval · Normal attack
Normal Attack Shoots fireballs that deal up to three counts of Pyro DMG. When Yanfei's Normal Attacks hit enemies, they will grant her a single Scarlet Seal. Yanfei may possess a maximum of 3 Scarlet Seals, and each time this effect is triggered, the duration of currently possessed Scarlet Seals will refresh. Each Scarlet Seal will decrease Yanfei's Stamina consumption and will disappear when she leaves the field.
Charged Attack Consumes Stamina and all Scarlet Seals before dealing AoE Pyro DMG to opponents after a short casting time. This Charged Attack's AoE and DMG will increase according to the amount of Scarlet Seals consumed.
Plunging Attack Gathering the power of Pyro, Yanfei plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Pyro DMG upon impact with the ground.
