Yanfei is the newest character available to play inGenshin Impactafter the game’s 1.5 version update. A Pyro catalyst user, Yanfei is full of interesting dualities: the daughter of an adeptus father and human mother, she works as a famed legal contractor while secretly dreaming of becoming a rapper! You can obtain Yanfei, a 4-star character, from the Wish system. Since she’s featured in the current “Gentry of Hermitage"banner, your chances of getting Yanfei are much higher—but act fast, because this banner will end May 10, 2025.
Gameplay
Yanfei is a character that both beginners and veterans will enjoy playing as, since her moves are as effective as they are straightforward. As a catalyst user, she deals elemental DMG from a short distance and paves the way for increasingly powerful elemental chains. Yanfei is best utilized for a DPS role, but she’s not a greedy character; follow up her attacks with your Hydro and Cryo party members to wipe out mobs quick.

Constellation
Unlocking Yanfei’s constellation points, similar to other characters, will grant her additional skills and boost her base powers. If you already have Yanfei on your team and want to max out her full potential, use the Wish system to unlock the following advantages.

Best Build for Yanfei
We recommend equipping Yanfei withLost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, since this 5-star book offers a base ATK of 46, increases CRIT rate by 30.2%, and even increases the character’s movement speed.Lost Prayed to the Sacred Windscan only be obtained through the Wish system.
Other recommended weapons for Yanfei include:
When it comes to artifacts, theCrimson Witch of Flamesset is perfect for Yanfei (or any of your other Pyro characters). You can obtain this set in theHidden Palace of Zhou(Wuwang Hill, Liyue). The 2-Piece Bonus increases Pyro DMG by 15%. The 4-Piece Bonus increases Overloaded and Burning damage by 40%, and Vaporize and Melt damage by 15%.
Best Team for Yanfei
Yanfei’s Pyro skills will shine with the help ofHydro, Cryo, and Electroparty members.
Qiqiis a valuable team member to have no matter what, since she dishes out Cryo damage while simultaneously healing the entire party. Use Qiqi’s Cryo attacks on enemies, then switch to Yanfei and hit them with Pyro to inflict the “Melt” status, increasing your overall damage output.
“Overloaded” occurs when Pyro meets Electro.Fischl’selectrifying skills (which are impressive all on their own) will increase Yanfei’s Pyro damage, and the force of this combination can knock your foes back!
We’re recommendingTartagliasince, unlike many of his Hydro counterparts, he can deal a significant amount of damage all by himself.Barbarais another viable option, and much more accessible since she’s F2P. Hydro and Pyro together create “Vaporize,” which also increases elemental damage (switch from Tartaglia to Yanfei if you want to apply that boost to Pyro damage).
