Best Weapons For DPS Yanfei

Just like any other 4-star character in Genshin Impact, Yanfei is overshadowed by almost all 5-star characters. Yet, if built right, she can operate as the main DPS in her team composition. For that to happen, it is important to use the right weapon on her.

Lost Prayer To The Sacred Winds

Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 33. 1% Crit Rate R1 Effect: Increases Movement SPD by 10%. When in battle, gain an 8% Elemental DMG Bonus every 4s. Max 4 stacks. Lasts until the character falls or leaves combat.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds is one of the best Catalysts in Genshin Impact. The Catalyst works perfectly on any main DPS, enhancing the wielder’s Elemental DMG as long as the character remains on the field. Of course, the 33% Crit Rate massive addition gives players flexibility in building Yanfei’s artifacts, giving her more stats in her Crit DMG.

Skyward Atlas

Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 33. 1% ATK% R1 Effect: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favor of the clouds, which actively seek out nearby opponents to attack for 15s, dealing 160% ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 30s.

Skyward Atlas is a weapon that gives raw power to its user and flexibility to play any role. As Yanfei will play as the Main DPS, she can easily utilize the weapon’s passive that gradually deals Physical DMG.

The Widsith

Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 55. 1% Crit DMG R5 Effect: When a character takes the field, they will gain a random theme song for 10s. This can only occur once every 30s. Recitative: ATK is increased by 120%. Aria: Increases all Elemental DMG by 96%. Interlude: Elemental Mastery is increased by 480.

When playing Yanfei to trigger Melt or Vaporize, The Widsith is the best 4-star Catalyst she can use, especially if it was on R5. No matter which song plays when Yanfei joins the field, it is going to insanely boost her damage. Even though The Widsith’s passive effect lasts for 10 seconds, the 55% Crit DMG is enough to carry Yanfei’s damage.

Solar Pearl

Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 27. 6% Crit Rate R1 Effect: Normal Attack hits increase Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 20% for 6s. Likewise, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 6s.

Solar Pearl is generally an amazing Catalyst in Genshin Impact. The weapon will boost Yanfei’s Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Burst.

Although Yanfei’s main feature is her Charged Attack, she still needs to use all the other abilities to boost her Charged Attacks. So all in all, Solar Pearl can still be useful with Yanfei, especially with the 27% Crit Rate addition.

Best Weapons For Support Yanfei

Yanfei can only operate as a Support when she gets her fourth Constellation. C4 Yanfei gets a powerful shield every time she uses her Burst. Being a Pyro character allows her to trigger the Pyro Resonance in her team composition, boosting the team’s ATK by 25%. She can also have 4-Noblesse Oblige for a further 20% ATK increase.

Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers

Primary Stat: 401 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 35. 2% HP% R5 Effect: When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their ATK increased by 48% for 10s. This effect can only occur once every 20s.

Since Yanfei’s shield scale with her total HP, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the perfect choice for that game style. Not only that, the weapon has one of the best passives in Genshin impact, adding 48% ATK to the next character coming after. This means Yanfei grants that character a total of 93% ATK from all her other buffs combined.

Favonius Codex

Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 45. 9% Energy Recharge% R5 Effect: CRIT hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.

As usual, Favonius weapons are great for any Support in Genshin Impact. The 45% Energy Recharge addition with the ability to grant Elemental Particles every few seconds is enough to help Yanfei fulfill her supportive role.

Prototype Amber

Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 41. 3% HP% R5 Effect: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 6 Energy every 2s for 6s. All party members will regenerate 6% HP every 2s for this duration.

Prototype Amber is not the best Forgeable Genshin Impact weapon for Yanfei, yet, it can help her and her team in many aspects. Players should only use this Catalyst if there aren’t any Favonius or Thrilling Tales available. Prototype adds 41% HP to Yanfei, which can improve her shielding. It can regenerate her Energy to regain her Burst faster and slightly heal her team on each Burst.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
