Genshin Impact Yanfei Guide: Best Build & Team – December 2023

Yanfei is Liyue Harbor’s top legal expert, completely versed in every area of the law, often known as the “law that walks.” She also shares a mysterious relationship with another new Genshin Impact character, Eula.

She, like Ganyu, is partially lit and generates scarlet seals that reduce her stamina consumption when she uses conventional attacks or her elemental talent and elemental burst. You may check out her full powers below.

The scarlet seals may be utilized to improve the area of effect and damage output of her charged attack, so while Yanfei’s numbers aren’t very impressive, pairing her with shield characters such as Diona and Zhongli will help you get the most out of her. Let’s start with the greatest Genshin Impact Yanfei build.

Yanfei’s Attack

Normal Attack

Fireballs up to three times the amount of Pyro damage. When Yanfei’s normal attacks strike an opponent, they bestow a single Scarlet Seal on her. Yanfei is limited to three Scarlet Seals. The duration of the current Scarlet Seals is refreshed each time this effect is triggered. Each Scarlet Seal consumes less stamina for Yanfei. When she departs the field, the seals vanish.

Charged Attack

After a brief casting time, this attack consumes stamina and all Scarlet Seals before providing AOE Pyro damage to opponents. The AOE and damage of this charged strike will grow in proportion to the quantity of Scarlet Seals consumed.

Plunging Attack

Using Pyro’s power, Yanfei dives towards the ground, inflicting damage on all opponents in her route. When it collides with the ground, it deals AOE Pyro damage.

Yanfei’s Abilities

Yanfei is a Pryo catalyst user who uses a stack system like Eula. Her abilities are entirely focused on helping her in acquiring Scarlet Seals. Each of these reduces her stamina consumption and makes her more difficult to interrupt. This system allows her cast more charged attacks akin to the way Klee performs.

Yanfei’s actions inflict AOE Pyro damage, giving her an excellent secondary DPS or sub-DPS for elemental activations. Both abilities provide her Scarlet Seals, which aid in her replenishment and rain down charged attacks.

Signed Edict (Elemental Skill)

• Invokes a burst of flames that does AOE Pyro damage. Yanfei gains the maximum number of Scarlet Seals from opponents struck by flames.

Done Deal (Elemental Burst)

• Triggers a spray of powerful flames that rush at adjacent opponents, causing AOE Pryo damage, awarding Yanfei the maximum number of Scarlet Seals, and endowing her with Brilliance.
• The following are the effects of brilliance:
  • At predetermined times, bestows a Scarlet Seal on Yanfei.
  • Yanfei’s charged attacks now have a greater damage output.
• Yanfei’s Brilliance will wear off if she flees the battlefield or is killed in battle.

Ascension 1 – Xiezhi’s Eye (Passive 1)

• When Yanfei’s charged attacks land a critical hit, she deals an additional instance of AOE Pyro damage equal to 80% of the attack’s damage. This is considered charged attack damage.

Ascension 4 – Proviso (Passive 2)

• Each Scarlet Seal consumed by Yanfei via heavy hits boosts Yanfei’s Pyro damage by 5% for six seconds. The effect is not cumulative.

Unlocked Encyclopedic Expertise (Passive 3)

• The mini-map shows the location of adjacent resources that are specific to Liyue.
