Yaoyao acts more as an emergency quickheal button. Her healing is deceptively high despite the small numbers. It's also best to weave in normal attacks during burst when using her with Yelan/Xingqiu to proc blooms more. She's arguably the better Kokomi in Nilou comp
@@idlealpaca7953like running both tbh. In a double hydro double dendro comp, the hydro characters have most ownership of the blooms. What Yaoyao allows is Kokomi to run full EM without losing the comfort of healing for the active character. Yaoyao honestly does kind of struggle as the sole healer sometimes, at least in my experience.
@Jack Wrath fun fact: if you copy and paste the same thing multiple times in a youtube comment section, theres a chance (gets higher every comment thats pasted) that you'll get priviligies such as commenting on videos revoked.
She’s an incredible healer, (if you build her with HP, which you should be doing) she generates a great amount of dendro particles, esp with fav lance, and you can get dendro resonance with her. That’s pretty much all you should be using her for.
she's actually a really good healer, but I do think that mihoyo held up on making her super amazing because baizhu will problably be also a healer and he's most likely a 5 star unit
one thing to note is that around 9:57 when he swaps to just using nahida instead, there was a NOTICEABLE drop in team HP. yaoyao isn’t meant to do damage. she’s a replacement for kokomi and barbara (or prototype amber nahida) in nilou teams. i also enjoy her in overworld as well. and as someone else said, her burst is more of an emergency heal, like barbara’s. because all you need is nahida or another dendro get get those blooms, now you can take a hydro character that does much more damage, as there are many options-ayato, childe, xingqiu, yelan… she also can apply dendro when, say, collei and dendro traveler are on cooldown, or if the enemies go out of their range. in that aspect, sort of supplementing teams and helping with option diversity, she’s an amazing unit even at c0. in addition, kuki has her issue of lowering her hp when she activates her skill that can lead to getting accidentally oneshot if you aren’t careful in abyss, so she’s also a good support in aggravate/spread teams. personally i run her on black tassel to aid in healing, and with another dendro unit am not having trouble getting her burst up when i want it, but i haven’t tried in abyss.
Well if it means anything at least Kuki actually benefits from being under half HP and with constellations she benefits from dropping below 25% hp as well But yes everything you said here is correct (although at C6 Kuki will no longer get one shot and she'll actually revive herself on 1hp which is very helpful)
My level 80 C1 Yaoyao runs 30k HP with lvl 5 talents, threw her into Alhaitham's team in the Abyss and she actually kept me alive and healthy the whole time. 4p Deepwood with HP%/HP%/crit rate and fav lance. I wasn't expecting much but I actually ended up liking her a lot.
man idk, your yaoyao has got wayyyyy much more potential than wtv's showcased here, she is actually a great healer and a decent 4 star since suneru (esp when u compare to dori candace etc)
@@JM_Tushe well, i highkey forgot who the other 4stars were when I typed that, but if we're to compare the rest, collei is usable but her dendro application isnt really long enough for the sumeru 5 stars we have (aka cyno & nilou) + not much support capabilities other than an elegy holder + everyone more or less will get nahida one day so... then thrs faruzan who's constellation locked w huge er issues before c6, and thrs no guarantee to get her even if u pull 120 times on the banner (aka me...) layla kinda mid tbh when thrs a diona who additionally provides energy + heals for comfort, i mean yes layla's shield may be strong but i have zhongli who also does 100k burst dmg, so id much rather have the extra dmg... for my account at least, only yaoyao is worth building at c0 since kokomi refuses to come home and idw to build barbara just for bloom purposes
@@traquine i think collei might be better off compared to dendro trav (where she also falls short both in dmg and burst AOE and length) than nahida, esp since both collei and dendro trav are free units; i see a lot of people talking about faruzans ER issues which i dont .. really get? maybe im just not that good at seeing an issue but i use her and she has her burst up before even bennett, oftentimes (220 er and fav) but yes layla, dori and candace.. and even collei, who mostly has value because shes one of few dendros rn.. hard to use
She heals arround 1-2K for balancing reasons, since in her burst you want her to move arround, she shoots too many bullets, which essentially will heal your entire party in top time
Moga, you should make a video dedicated to raising weapons. I always notice you don’t have a lot raised and it can limit your character’s usage, so maybe consider raising some of them lol
Yaoyao is exactly what current abyss wants. Not only is she a dendro healer, but she heals her entire team while she's on field. Single target healing is a NIGHTMARE with the rifthounds on floor 12.
She can heal A LOT more. You don't even have a healing bonus circlet on her lol. Mine is level 70 with level 6 talents, 2 piece tenacity HP/HP/Healing + black tassel, and heals 1632 + 425 on her E, over 20,000 HP to each party member on her burst. At level 90 with higher talents she's probably an amazing healer. I hope you'll try her out with a better build in the god mode, even if the artifact set isn't deepwood :)
@@sadiesnodgrass2390 Don't, build her with HP%/HP%/Healing bonus with ER focusing and Favonius lance. You wouldn't need that much healing and her burst is more important. Make her at least lv 80
She actually heals a lot. You should really raise a black tassel for Zhongli, Candace and her to use. Also she consolidates a lot of teams since dendro and healer. I really like her and I think she's very useful. Currently using her in my Fischl Kazuha Keqing team
For the record, the bunnies from her burst disappearing after switching to another character is very useful for her c1, in which when the bunnies disappear, +15% dendro dmg bonus to all
Yaoyao is not meant to boost teams that already have healers, its more like the last missing piece in a cyno team which badly needed both a healer and a dendro applicator. She has been on my cyno team since she came out and i can only say she is worth running there
"i dont think she's gonna be doing much damage regardless of what i give her" oh, boy Also, as a sidenote: Nearby party members has always referred to everyone in the party. otherwise, it would say "active characters" or smth
Idk if it's just my impression, but lately the raising mode videos have been kind of off the point. Idk if Moga has the time to research deeply into the character builds and best playstyles and then he ends up showcasing them wrong or not their full potential, I feel bad to say that but it seems like an obligation for him, not something that he is enjoying
i feel you tbh, he hasn't been showcasing them the right way recently and its been kinda frustrating because then he labels them as "meh", which isn't good at all because of how his influence can affect viewers' thoughts on those characters.
I've honestly been loving using Yaoyao in Raiden Hyperbloom. Her Dendro application is enough (she's so much better in multi-target scenarios though) and her healing is incredible. Literally used her (Lv. 70/70, Lv. 1 Talents) with a Lv. 50 DMC in a Raiden Hyperbloom team to clear Floor 12 and it's like my team barely got a scratch after
I have my yaoyao on a 2pc deepwood 2pc tenacity with favonius lance and at lvl70 she has over 30k hp, and I actually really like her as a cyno support as she can consistently apply dendro for a period while he is in burst form
Hp yaoyao is amazing on a bloom team and she just applies a ton of dendro when on burst mode, I use her on my budget nilou bloom team, with xingqiu, collei and obviously nilou
I just like having an alternative to Shinobu. Although I really like Shinobu, only healing the on field characters and HP management (especially in abyss) are not really enjoyable. On top of that, Yaoyao ist just very adorable ^^
She's a competent healer in Nilou bloom and even keeps me alive against the wolves in 12-3-2. Level 90 and 1-7-6 You just need to build her to 90 and her healing is good enough. Also there's no need to build EM on her for bloom since she's not triggering much Same for Nahida you don't need to build lost paradise on her for bloom(doesn't trigger alot to justify it). Deepwood set is much better as you can reliably shred dendro resistance
One of my favorite teams to use with her (assuming someone hasn't recommended this already) is Yaoyao, Yelan, Xingqiu, and Shinobu. Shinobu has around 800+ EM while Yaoyao has a lot of ER and HP. The rotation being her skill, Yelan's burst and skill, XQ's burst and skill, Kuki's skill (and burst if possible), and Yaoyao's burst and skill. I've been having fun with this team, so I thought it would be a nice idea to try for her god mode. Ofc there's probably better teams and you don't have to take the suggestion.
Ah, I just love seeing ppl build a character as a sub-dps and expect them to be a good support/healer. But no, seriously dude. If you want her to be decent in a certain team, you gotta build her for it and not just throw on one set and expect her to be a jack of all trades. For a healer build even tenacity would have been better (because her skill procs often), but for best healing you'd give her 2p/2p healing sets with hp. She goes well in aggravate teams as an emergency healer, I hear. In bloom comps she def needs EM, like the paradise lost or gilded, and your whale-ish Nahida is much better off with that aggressive deepwood.
I feel like the reason why her burst duration is so short is because it's like a Barbara burst but over the course of 5 seconds. High, team wide healing in a short amount of time. I just treat Yaoyao and Barbara's bursts as panic buttons. In the unlikely event that she ever gets buffed, I would like to see her burst bunnies stay on field for the same duration as the skill and give her standard icd. Personally, I think it would be far more interesting if her a4 passive had higher scaling, like even 1.2% would be good, and healed based on the target's max hp so that she can somewhat keep up with Zhongli, Nilou and Yelan's massive health pools.
I think after dendro arrive, we casual player literally have to watch decent guide on how to build the character. Their kit seems simple but theres a lot of nuance like yaoyao or alhaitham. If you only look at yaoyao healing number it would look really small compare to bennet or kokomi but after learn where she can be slot. she really great on nilou or aggravate keqing. She really help outheal the bloom damage so we dont have to run kokomi + barbara, just her + kokomi is enough. Alhaitham also same, if you dont learn his combo or really understand his mirror mechanic you will find his CD really long with short uptime then find his damage really bad
@@purfuo if you don't want xiao or alhaitham you should not be doing that. Just get her free from lantern right and wait till she's on a banner you want to pull on
@@joeltoomer3332 Ah no, I want/already have Xiao. Im just going for his weapon this time around! I wouldn't mind pulling him and skipping his weapon for YaoYao and himself, so it's okay.
I gave my Yaoyao the Moonpiercer as a weapon because I'm ruthlessly dedicated to aesthetics and it looks perfect on her and honestly in this game that's a tactic.
Your thumbnails are getting SS tier !! Thank you for not sticking to the usual Genshin content creator: big generic words (ex. AMAZING, AWESOME, CRAZY), a picture of your jaw dropped, and big crit fishing damage numbers.
yaoyao's E and Q have special ICD like collei where she doesn't have the 3 hit rule but does have the 2.5 second rule, and every 2 seconds she can generate 1 dendro particle making her a decent battery for on field dendro DPS, her healing has faster ticks than others so its actually not that low plus even if shes targeting an enemy, her radishes have a small aoe so if you were meele, you can still get the heal. her Q is meant to be like barbaras where its an emergency heal, and her Q also has the same special ICD as her E too. her best teams is being the dendro applier for aggravate, while in nilou bloom you still want another dendro. a popular team suggestion for nilou yaoyao bloom is nilou candace (collei nahida or dmc) and yaoyao and yaoyao being the bloom trigger as she can trigger bloom with candace hydro infusing her NA and her E and Q, she does want ER sometimes however if you dont care about her burst you dont really need it. her best sets is deepwood and tenacity however 4p instructor is a good but niche option due to it being stuck as a 4 star.
she heals a lot, you just dont know how to build her correctly (and im noticing this on your recent other characer videos too that you kinda dont know what you are doing and judge the character based on that)
I mean she clearly isn't made to be a dps nor the main dendro applicator but a healer. I don't know why wouldn't you try her with full hp build instead. That video seems very lackluster.
So I actually gave my C1 yaoyao maidens 4pc hp/hp/healingbonus with black tassel (i dont have homa lol) and the heals aren't bad at all. plus, few characters give dendro dmg bonus/have the potential to give that. its nice for my Tighnari once he puts down the little taunt field and finishes his three shots you can just run around as yaoyao without being stomped and heal the whole rotation while making a few particles. hope this helps!
Heyo moga i actually dont play genshin anymore but watching your vids always feels like a quick escape into it like your vids are just so nice to watch haha
heals Def based off health so honestly with proper artifacts and such it'll work great. For instance rn I raised her to lv 60 and her bunnies are doing 1200 with 25k health so far
Just recently came back to playing Genshin, did some pulls on Kazuha and get C2 YaoYao... and she is amazing! Yae Miko, Fishl, Nahida, Yaoyao is must try team comp! You don't even need to base attack, just spam skills and bursts to kill basically anything in your way!
hi Moga, you can try this team for bloom (her best scenario) Yaoyao with full EM, Nilou, Nahida and Candace. You need to make all the seeds with Yaoyao and Candace ult, it's kinda weird but it works very very well! Also, you don't need Yaoyao with dragon's bane, you can put some favonius for extra ER. Unitarget with this team it's so shit lmao, but with multitarget it's so good. Starts with Nahida E and ult, Nilou next with her elemental skill, Candace elemental skill and ult (try Candace with favonius as well) and then Yaoyao with ult and elemental skill, run and jump with some basic attacks. c:
my highest YaoYao crits consecutive 18k dendro green attack. in my team using xingqiu wlll make more dendro seed, using Raiden will activate those seed for attack. and lastly sucrose for increasing em. using 4 piece hp artifact. compare to Jean burst, YaoYao burst offer faster healing plus her damage are quite good. what I always do, sucrose skill - throwing doll - xingqiu skill and then her burst - Raiden skill and burst - sucrose skill plus burst - lastly YaoYao burst as my last attack.
I think aside from having to stay on field during her burst, she seems pretty good. Even then, maybe there are some teams where that's not even too big of an issue just because of downtime in the rest of the rotation? Overall I'd say a good 4pc Deepwood user in aggravate/spread teams (especially so with Nahida) and could be pretty good in co-op since you wouldn't be switching characters as often, but aside from that she's just okay. Not great, but certainly not bad imo
My suggestions: Yao Yao heals are not bad at fully raised and she helps keep 2 teams ( that I can think of ) alive.(variants to those teams exist yes yes): Nilou bloom with Kokomi/Barbara | nahida | Yao Yao - since Kokomi is full EM yao yao is there to help with healing and a bit of dendro application on enemy. Cyno | Yelan/XQ | Nahida | yao yao - cyno on EM sands can proc both aggrevate and hyperbloom and since you don’t want to dodge a lot and lose damage - she helps keep him alive AND carry deepwood/NO for the team. When in danger - use burst and run for it (hehe)
This raising was definitely a bit unfair to Yaoyao imo. You did a split build on her, brought her only to 70(something that impacts non atk scaling characters much more harshly than their atk scaling peers), and questioned her low healing. Black tassel has an HP sub stat and is only a three star polearm, you lose the fav utility, but with no reason to have crit rate, triple HP will be the only build left. Bring her to level 80 1/8/8 and you have a pretty rock solid healer with little needed investment.
You have to keep in mind that comparing her to Nahida is fine but also consider that the other options are Dendro traveler or Collei. Which are abysmally worse Edit: I take back what I said about DMC. I’m sorry for what I said. Please don’t attack me.
I'd disagree about Dendro Traveler, everyone appreciated them before Nahida came out. Now that she's out doesn't mean DMC is bad, it's still perfectly viable.
Dendro Traveler ain't worse. It's mostly the most reliable standard baseline for a Dendro Support. I can agree with comparing Yaoyao to Collei but to Dendro MC it depends on what your team utility needs. And Dendro Traveler will never be a worse character overall, only personal damage is lacking on him/her but the rest are from decent to really good.
I've personally been having some fun with yaoyao in my nilou teams. I run nilou yelan alhaitham and yaoyao, Yaoyao on clam set and alhaitham on deepwood (I was gonna go for gilded but I got such good deepwood pieces that I just gave up and went with it). Yaoyao can actually heal quite a lot, she was healing for like 17k with my burst talent only being at level 1 which is pretty nice. She can get clam off pretty easily as well. The main thing with yaoyao is just managing ur usage of her, she's more of an emergency quickswap if u need healing thru her burst. Outside of that her skill should be enough to have some reasonable amounts of healing if you build her around it. I use clam on her to make sure I'm not missing out on any damage when I do use her burst, and she can stack it pretty well too. Personally I'm happy with this unit since i don't own kokomi or nahida 👍
I took my Lv 70 C0 Yaoyao to Abyss 12 first Half und she did very well keeping my Yae Tighnari Team alive. Thats all i want right now and she delivered. 2 Pc MIllelith, 2 Pc Gilded full HP, Circlet is Healing Bonus.
I think she’s pretty good at what she does. She’s no Kokomi, but she certainly does everything you need her to, even at C0. Admittedly, she does require a lot of field time, which can suck for your overall DPS, but I expect people will warm up to that over time, like they did for Kokomi. I definitely like her more than Alhaitham, which is saying something cuz I’m a Keqing main. They really took Keqing’s kit and decided “let’s make this more complicated and give it significantly more cooldown on everything. So yeah, definitely getting her from Lantern Rite, just so I can avoid the Al and Xiao banners.
Yao Yao is awesome paired with Raiden!!.. By deploying Raiden’s Elemental skill first it passively adds to Yao Yao’s Elemental burst (and skill) making every bunny apply Dendro damage and Electro damage in the form of Aggravate, Quicken and Spread with every hit!!!!.. as well as healing all the team!!!.. She goes from being a 6 out of 10, to an 8!!.. So she isn’t too bad and is worth having as an option!!!
She carried me in abyss floor12 2nd team, it was a bloom team I don't have Kokomi nor Nahida and she did their job smoothly with 37k hp / 4pc flower set

Makes sense since Qiqi was in the first art with Yaoyao 3 years ago.
She's a competent healer in Nilou bloom and even keeps me alive against the wolves in 12-3-2. Level 90 and 1-7-6
You just need to build her to 90 and her healing is good enough.
Also there's no need to build EM on her for bloom since she's not triggering much
Same for Nahida you don't need to build lost paradise on her for bloom(doesn't trigger alot to justify it). Deepwood set is much better as you can reliably shred dendro resistance
@Jack Wrath no one cares
Is lost paradise 4 pcs good for Nahida?
@@ml4756 Nahida is best kept on deepwood as she is the best character to maintain the Deepwood shred
One of my favorite teams to use with her (assuming someone hasn't recommended this already) is Yaoyao, Yelan, Xingqiu, and Shinobu. Shinobu has around 800+ EM while Yaoyao has a lot of ER and HP. The rotation being her skill, Yelan's burst and skill, XQ's burst and skill, Kuki's skill (and burst if possible), and Yaoyao's burst and skill. I've been having fun with this team, so I thought it would be a nice idea to try for her god mode. Ofc there's probably better teams and you don't have to take the suggestion.
Notification gang
Yerrr
lol yea
Present
Not from notification, simply refreshing feed.
Here :)
"i thought the abilities would be completely different from what the description said"
Remember she's meant to be on field. Her healing plus Dendro res is great.
Ah, I just love seeing ppl build a character as a sub-dps and expect them to be a good support/healer. But no, seriously dude. If you want her to be decent in a certain team, you gotta build her for it and not just throw on one set and expect her to be a jack of all trades. For a healer build even tenacity would have been better (because her skill procs often), but for best healing you'd give her 2p/2p healing sets with hp. She goes well in aggravate teams as an emergency healer, I hear.
In bloom comps she def needs EM, like the paradise lost or gilded, and your whale-ish Nahida is much better off with that aggressive deepwood.
I can't believe how inaccurate moga was with this review
Yaoyao actually turned out to be great and I'm hyped to get her in 3.7
moga pls, give us the god mode traveler of each element...
Your collection of 5 Stars shocked the hell outta me!
always appreciate these raised videos man! thanks so much for your work
Bruh I literally invited Yao Yao and got favonius in one pull after leveling her
I feel like the reason why her burst duration is so short is because it's like a Barbara burst but over the course of 5 seconds. High, team wide healing in a short amount of time. I just treat Yaoyao and Barbara's bursts as panic buttons.
In the unlikely event that she ever gets buffed, I would like to see her burst bunnies stay on field for the same duration as the skill and give her standard icd. Personally, I think it would be far more interesting if her a4 passive had higher scaling, like even 1.2% would be good, and healed based on the target's max hp so that she can somewhat keep up with Zhongli, Nilou and Yelan's massive health pools.
I'd recommend trying her in a 2 dendro 2 electro team, she can battery an insane amount of dendro particles and consistently reduce def with deepwood
I think after dendro arrive, we casual player literally have to watch decent guide on how to build the character. Their kit seems simple but theres a lot of nuance like yaoyao or alhaitham. If you only look at yaoyao healing number it would look really small compare to bennet or kokomi but after learn where she can be slot. she really great on nilou or aggravate keqing. She really help outheal the bloom damage so we dont have to run kokomi + barbara, just her + kokomi is enough. Alhaitham also same, if you dont learn his combo or really understand his mirror mechanic you will find his CD really long with short uptime then find his damage really bad
Did you expect her healing and damage to be good without leveling her talents?
Yaoyao is honestly so cute! Im definitely going to risk a few ten pulls out of my saved primos for her ❤️
Don’t want her for free tomorrow?
@@UzumakiD_luffy i want some constellations
if your saving for someone i recommend you not to pull for her just get her from the event
@@purfuo if you don't want xiao or alhaitham you should not be doing that. Just get her free from lantern right and wait till she's on a banner you want to pull on
@@joeltoomer3332 Ah no, I want/already have Xiao. Im just going for his weapon this time around! I wouldn't mind pulling him and skipping his weapon for YaoYao and himself, so it's okay.
Fun thing,, her basics remind you of martial arts because she was trained by madame Ping, just like Xiangling!
I gave my Yaoyao the Moonpiercer as a weapon because I'm ruthlessly dedicated to aesthetics and it looks perfect on her and honestly in this game that's a tactic.
Lmao same here
I’m actually so disappointed in moga’s character showcases.. cuz they don’t actually showcase the character properly :/
Your thumbnails are getting SS tier !!
Thank you for not sticking to the usual Genshin content creator: big generic words (ex. AMAZING, AWESOME, CRAZY), a picture of your jaw dropped, and big crit fishing damage numbers.
yaoyao's E and Q have special ICD like collei where she doesn't have the 3 hit rule but does have the 2.5 second rule, and every 2 seconds she can generate 1 dendro particle making her a decent battery for on field dendro DPS, her healing has faster ticks than others so its actually not that low plus even if shes targeting an enemy, her radishes have a small aoe so if you were meele, you can still get the heal. her Q is meant to be like barbaras where its an emergency heal, and her Q also has the same special ICD as her E too. her best teams is being the dendro applier for aggravate, while in nilou bloom you still want another dendro. a popular team suggestion for nilou yaoyao bloom is nilou candace (collei nahida or dmc) and yaoyao and yaoyao being the bloom trigger as she can trigger bloom with candace hydro infusing her NA and her E and Q, she does want ER sometimes however if you dont care about her burst you dont really need it. her best sets is deepwood and tenacity however 4p instructor is a good but niche option due to it being stuck as a 4 star.
she heals a lot, you just dont know how to build her correctly (and im noticing this on your recent other characer videos too that you kinda dont know what you are doing and judge the character based on that)
one of the best 4* on the game, she's actually my favorite 4* bcoz of the heal and her being a dendro😄
I mean she clearly isn't made to be a dps nor the main dendro applicator but a healer. I don't know why wouldn't you try her with full hp build instead. That video seems very lackluster.
2:12 but still, if you are going for Nilou team, you want to be extremely close, so it doesn't really matter
4:29 blackpole beign her BiS: ☠️
Tilted there at the end? That laugh says it all.
I was waiting for this video lol, since you said you were excited for her!
dragons bane is definitely really good for her imo
True
I love Yaoyao so much, she is so perfect for my Keqing team! :)
So I actually gave my C1 yaoyao maidens 4pc hp/hp/healingbonus with black tassel (i dont have homa lol) and the heals aren't bad at all. plus, few characters give dendro dmg bonus/have the potential to give that. its nice for my Tighnari once he puts down the little taunt field and finishes his three shots you can just run around as yaoyao without being stomped and heal the whole rotation while making a few particles. hope this helps!
Heyo moga i actually dont play genshin anymore but watching your vids always feels like a quick escape into it like your vids are just so nice to watch haha
Wait.... Her kuki and Barbara is an actual team. That's an hilarious amount of healing 😂
heals Def based off health so honestly with proper artifacts and such it'll work great. For instance rn I raised her to lv 60 and her bunnies are doing 1200 with 25k health so far
I'm using her in my Nilou team alongside with Lumine and Xingqiu. And she works amazing
Do you think this team with good build can work?
(Tighnari, keqing, fischl, yaoyao)
@@hymm0 of course, Yao Yao in a quick swap team is good as well
The amount of disappointment in his voice 😂😭😂 yao yao didn't do anything she's just being cute 😭😭
Just recently came back to playing Genshin, did some pulls on Kazuha and get C2 YaoYao... and she is amazing! Yae Miko, Fishl, Nahida, Yaoyao is must try team comp! You don't even need to base attack, just spam skills and bursts to kill basically anything in your way!
You can use ayato, nilou, yaoyao and denero traveler she is op as a healer
And i am using R5 dragon bane on her
just imagine if we had a hp% substat spear ... like .. idk lets say "Black tassel"???
Whats makes her really good is her dendro application!!
I've been enjoying her alot in Hyperbloom raiden.
My Yaoyao is not even built at all cuz All i need is her skill to make dendro core.
hi Moga, you can try this team for bloom (her best scenario) Yaoyao with full EM, Nilou, Nahida and Candace.
You need to make all the seeds with Yaoyao and Candace ult, it's kinda weird but it works very very well! Also, you don't need Yaoyao with dragon's bane, you can put some favonius for extra ER.
Unitarget with this team it's so shit lmao, but with multitarget it's so good.
Starts with Nahida E and ult, Nilou next with her elemental skill, Candace elemental skill and ult (try Candace with favonius as well) and then Yaoyao with ult and elemental skill, run and jump with some basic attacks. c:
my highest YaoYao crits consecutive 18k dendro green attack. in my team using xingqiu wlll make more dendro seed, using Raiden will activate those seed for attack. and lastly sucrose for increasing em. using 4 piece hp artifact. compare to Jean burst, YaoYao burst offer faster healing plus her damage are quite good. what I always do, sucrose skill - throwing doll - xingqiu skill and then her burst - Raiden skill and burst - sucrose skill plus burst - lastly YaoYao burst as my last attack.
He even dissed yaoyao by giving her no thumbnail 🗿
Moga is underestimating yaoyao a lot
I think aside from having to stay on field during her burst, she seems pretty good. Even then, maybe there are some teams where that's not even too big of an issue just because of downtime in the rest of the rotation?
Overall I'd say a good 4pc Deepwood user in aggravate/spread teams (especially so with Nahida) and could be pretty good in co-op since you wouldn't be switching characters as often, but aside from that she's just okay. Not great, but certainly not bad imo
Thank you for including the artifact pain at the end. VERY relatable.
My suggestions:
Yao Yao heals are not bad at fully raised and she helps keep 2 teams ( that I can think of ) alive.(variants to those teams exist yes yes):
Nilou bloom with Kokomi/Barbara | nahida | Yao Yao - since Kokomi is full EM yao yao is there to help with healing and a bit of dendro application on enemy.
Cyno | Yelan/XQ | Nahida | yao yao - cyno on EM sands can proc both aggrevate and hyperbloom and since you don’t want to dodge a lot and lose damage - she helps keep him alive AND carry deepwood/NO for the team.
When in danger - use burst and run for it (hehe)
i think whats happening is when u stop jumping or sprinting they disappear
learned new stuff from your video, thank you very much!
This raising was definitely a bit unfair to Yaoyao imo. You did a split build on her, brought her only to 70(something that impacts non atk scaling characters much more harshly than their atk scaling peers), and questioned her low healing. Black tassel has an HP sub stat and is only a three star polearm, you lose the fav utility, but with no reason to have crit rate, triple HP will be the only build left. Bring her to level 80 1/8/8 and you have a pretty rock solid healer with little needed investment.
I use her as a driver in a team of Beidou / Fischl / Kazuha and it works great. No need for deepwood there so she's on a full healing ER set.
he said “nilou does have 71k hp” so casually. 💀
You absolutely deserved those rolls for putting FoPL on Nahida bro
why would you want crit damage on the bloom set anyway? nahida has fixed ratio in her c2
I'm early today, your content is keeping me up at 2pm. (My sleep schedule sucks) Love your content though it makes my day!
I want to build her, but with baizhu coming in 3.6 i'm just going to wait for his release since YaoYao might be powercreeped by him
You have to keep in mind that comparing her to Nahida is fine but also consider that the other options are Dendro traveler or Collei. Which are abysmally worse
Edit: I take back what I said about DMC. I’m sorry for what I said. Please don’t attack me.
I'd disagree about Dendro Traveler, everyone appreciated them before Nahida came out. Now that she's out doesn't mean DMC is bad, it's still perfectly viable.
DMC is still pretty good. They just have high requirements
Whale mindset
dendro mc is pretty good if you stack him/her with tons of ER, i wouldnt call it worse
Dendro Traveler ain't worse. It's mostly the most reliable standard baseline for a Dendro Support. I can agree with comparing Yaoyao to Collei but to Dendro MC it depends on what your team utility needs.
And Dendro Traveler will never be a worse character overall, only personal damage is lacking on him/her but the rest are from decent to really good.
A healing bonus mask would make her heal more than a HP mask
I've personally been having some fun with yaoyao in my nilou teams.
I run nilou yelan alhaitham and yaoyao,
Yaoyao on clam set and alhaitham on deepwood (I was gonna go for gilded but I got such good deepwood pieces that I just gave up and went with it). Yaoyao can actually heal quite a lot, she was healing for like 17k with my burst talent only being at level 1 which is pretty nice. She can get clam off pretty easily as well.
The main thing with yaoyao is just managing ur usage of her, she's more of an emergency quickswap if u need healing thru her burst. Outside of that her skill should be enough to have some reasonable amounts of healing if you build her around it. I use clam on her to make sure I'm not missing out on any damage when I do use her burst, and she can stack it pretty well too.
Personally I'm happy with this unit since i don't own kokomi or nahida 👍
Hi Moga, just wanted to thank you for all your videos! They have been a welcome break from life stuff for me...keep doing you! 😁👋
I took my Lv 70 C0 Yaoyao to Abyss 12 first Half und she did very well keeping my Yae Tighnari Team alive. Thats all i want right now and she delivered. 2 Pc MIllelith, 2 Pc Gilded full HP, Circlet is Healing Bonus.
Not me already satisfied with my lvl70 Yaoyao with lvl4 talents 💀
I think she’s pretty good at what she does. She’s no Kokomi, but she certainly does everything you need her to, even at C0. Admittedly, she does require a lot of field time, which can suck for your overall DPS, but I expect people will warm up to that over time, like they did for Kokomi.
I definitely like her more than Alhaitham, which is saying something cuz I’m a Keqing main. They really took Keqing’s kit and decided “let’s make this more complicated and give it significantly more cooldown on everything. So yeah, definitely getting her from Lantern Rite, just so I can avoid the Al and Xiao banners.
I use her as a pure healer in my quicken team and she does great there. Her burst healing is so fast
Ii want to put her in a quicken team with nahida and yae and her as the driver should I give her deepwood or tenacity
@@BelanTatakae deepwood
black tassel for sure with this one
*Moga trying to convey his artifact pain*
Me: Yk... you can just switch for a 4p flower of paradise instead of a 5 peace one-
Yao Yao is awesome paired with Raiden!!.. By deploying Raiden’s Elemental skill first it passively adds to Yao Yao’s Elemental burst (and skill) making every bunny apply Dendro damage and Electro damage in the form of Aggravate, Quicken and Spread with every hit!!!!.. as well as healing all the team!!!.. She goes from being a 6 out of 10, to an 8!!.. So she isn’t too bad and is worth having as an option!!!
She carried me in abyss floor12 2nd team, it was a bloom team I don't have Kokomi nor Nahida and she did their job smoothly with 37k hp / 4pc flower set
The only way I can think of Yaoyao having two bunnies on the field is maybe Thundering Fury or Gambler coupled with anemo resonance.
Nice sidekick while building alhaitham
She applies 4 instances of Dendro in her skill and generates 5 particles, which is extremely high, comparative to Raiden’s average in 10 seconds
