Yaoyao

Dendro healer and off-field applicator

Released Jan 18, 2023

Yaoyao’s Yuegui throws White Jade Radishes that damage nearby opponents and heal nearby characters, with targeting affected by party HP. Her burst provides a brief period of stronger teamwide healing and additional radishes, but its benefits end when she leaves the field.

Yaoyao GUIDE

Understand Yaoyao

Useful when…

  • Combining Dendro damage with character healing.
  • Applying Dendro while Yaoyao stays off field using her skill.
  • Using a short on-field burst window to heal nearby party members.
  • Avoiding startling Crystalflies and certain other animals while exploring.

Yuegui targeting and healing

Raphanus Sky Cluster creates up to two Throwing Mode Yuegui for 10 seconds. Radishes explode on contact with a character or opponent, or after their five-second duration; each explosion deals Dendro damage and heals characters in its area based on Yaoyao’s Max HP. If nearby characters are all above 70% HP, Yuegui targets an opponent. At 70% HP or below, it targets the character with the lowest HP percentage. If no opponents are nearby, Yuegui targets characters when all are above 70% but below 100% HP; otherwise, it throws radishes randomly. Holding the skill lets you aim the throw.

Burst window

Moonjade Descent deals Dendro damage, then creates a five-second Adeptal Legacy state. Its radishes use the burst’s damage and healing values, heal all nearby party members, and count their Dendro damage as Elemental Burst damage. It summons up to three Jumping Mode Yuegui, increases Yaoyao’s movement speed by 15% and Dendro resistance, and lets her throw radishes while sprinting, running, or jumping once every 0.6 seconds. Leaving the field ends the state and clears remaining Jumping Mode Yuegui.

Talent focus and limits

Skill levels matter when recurring off-field radish healing and damage are her main contribution. Burst levels matter when you use its emergency healing window; Normal Attack levels are less central for a support role. Her passive lets active characters in radish explosions regain HP each second for five seconds. The burst costs 80 Energy, and leaving the field during Adeptal Legacy ends the state and clears remaining Jumping Mode Yuegui.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Skill healing and damage can function while Yaoyao is off field; the burst’s added radishes require her to remain on field.
  • The burst combines healing with more Dendro damage but costs 80 Energy.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting the skill to target an opponent when an ally has 70% HP or less.
  • Leaving the field during Adeptal Legacy and ending the state early.
  • Assuming the burst’s 80 Energy cost is negligible.

Raphanus Sky Cluster · Elemental skill

Calls upon "Yuegui: Throwing Mode," a special device created by a certain adeptus to help Yaoyao solve her problems.
This skill will be used differently in Holding Mode.

Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the throw direction.

Yuegui: Throwing Mode
Throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao's Max HP. If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.
Yuegui: Throwing Mode will choose its radish-throw targets.
·If all nearby characters have more than 70% HP remaining, then it will throw the radish at a nearby opponent.
·If nearby characters have 70% or less HP remaining, it will throw a radish at the character with the lowest HP percentage remaining. If no opponents exist nearby, Yuegui will also throw White Jade Radishes at characters if they all have more than 70% HP and less than 100% HP remaining. Otherwise, it will throw radishes into the area at random.

A maximum of 2 instances of Yuegui: Throwing Mode can exist at any one time.

Moonjade Descent · Elemental burst

At the enjoinment of a certain adeptus, Yuegui's full potential can be unleashed in an emergency, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents and entering an (in some sense) unsurpassed Adeptal Legacy state.

Adeptal Legacy
·White Jade Radishes generated will be changed to heal and deal DMG according to this skill. Explosions will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG instead.
·Summons "Yuegui: Jumping Mode" at intervals until their limit has been reached. The behavior of this version of Yuegui is the same as that of "Yuegui: Throwing Mode" in the Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster. A maximum of 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode can exist at any one time.
·Yaoyao's Movement SPD is increased by 15%.
·Yaoyao's Dendro RES will be increased.

The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.

While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao will constantly throw White Jade Radishes at nearby opponents when she is sprinting, jumping, or running. She can throw 1 White Jade Radish this way once every 0.6s.

In Others' Shoes

When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will regain HP every 1s based on 0.8% of Yaoyao's Max HP. This effect lasts 5s.

Tailing on Tiptoes

When Yaoyao is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them.
