As strange as it is to admit it, Yaoyao has been looked forward to much longer than Alhaitham. She was teased from the beginning of the game and she’s finally coming home. Hoyoverse obviously had this character in the making for a long time and they will finally release her.
As one of the earliest 4-stars planned back in Genshin’s earliest days, many players hope for her to be as strong as the original 4-star roster including Bennett, Xiangling, Xinqiu and so on. Yaoyao’s constellations have already been leaked and we’re here to take a look at them and their overall value.
Yaoyao’s Constellations in Genshin Impact 3.4
As expected of a support unit, Yaoyao’s constellations focus on improving her support capabilities while covering her ER requirements. Only her C6 has any semblance of DMG boost to her kit but at the end of the day, it’s only a minor buff on paper.
C1. Adeptus’ Tutelage
When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will gain 15% Dendro DMG Bonus for 8s and have 15 Stamina restored to them. This form of Stamina Restoration can only be triggered every 5s.
C2. Innocent
While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent (Q), if White Jade Radish explosions damage opponents, 3 Energy will be restored to Yaoyao. This form of Energy regeneration can occur once every 0.8s.
C3. Loyal and Kind
Increases the Level Of Raphanus Sky Cluster (E) by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4. Winsome
After using Raphanus Sky Cluster or Moonjade Descent, Yaoyao’s Elemental Mastery will be increased based on 0.3% of her Max HP for 8s. The maximum Elemental Mastery she can gain this way is 120.
C5. Compassionate
Increases the Level of Moonjade Descent (Q) by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6. Beneficent
For every 2 White Jade Radishes Yuegui: Throwing Mode throws out, the next throw will also release a Mega Radish that will have a larger AoE than the standard White Jade Radish and have the following effects upon exploding:
- Deals AoE Dendro DMG based on 75% of Yaoyao’s ATK.
- Restores HP for the active character based on 7.5% of Yaoyao’s Max HP.
Every Yuegei: Throwing Mode can throw out a maximum Of 2 Mega Radishes.
Overall Value of Yaoyao’s Constellations
Her constellation’s value will strictly depend on how much value she brings at base form. Even though the scaling numbers have been leaked, her value will be ultimately determined by how good she feels to play when she’s finally released. It will also depend on how well she synergises into the current meta Dendro Teams.
Her healing, damage and energy recharge will all be considered before considering her constellations. Ideally, by taking a look at the leaks alone, we predict that C2 will be a good and safe place to stop as it will allow players to focus on building more HP and not worry about her ER%. Her C1 is obviously meant for DPS or sub-DPS Dendro units like Tighnari, Nahida and even hopefully Alhaitham. Her Stamina Restoration will be helpful to Tighnari and Alhaitham as will both depend on their Charged Attacks for maximum DPS output.
Her C4 and C6, directly or indirectly, add a bit of damage to her kit but we still can’t know for sure by how much. Her C6 also boosts her healing but as always, it’s wise to wait for expert reviews to come in before pulling for any constellations. Her value will depend on how good of a healer and Dendro support she is upon release.
