Recommended Team Compositions

Here Yanfei’s best team comp:

 Vaporize Comp

Yanfei — Xingqiu — Yelan— Zhongli

Vaporize Yanfei relies heavily on a core off-field Hydro applicator like Xingqiu or Yelan to enable her to Vaporize her Attacks. 

Xingqiu is one of only two characters who can enable Yanfei to repeatedly and consistently Vaporize her Attacks with Yelan being the other character who can enable Yanfei to Vaporize consistently. Both Xingqiu and Yelan struggle with Energy which can be solved by running the two together as they provide Hydro particles to one another. Z

Zhongli provides much required strong shield for increased survivability and interruption resistance as her casting time is pretty high allowing Yanfei to execute the combos easily.

Conclusion: Key Points for Best Yanfei Builds

The key things to focus on for building the best Yanfei in Genshin Impact are:

• Use Lost Prayer to the Sacred Wind (or The Widsith for a 4-star option)
• Farm a 4-pc Crimson Witch of Flames or 4-pc Wanderer’s Troupe set
• Look for CRIT Rate, Pyro Damage, and ATK%.
• Vaporize-focused team comps are best (Yelani and Xingqui core)
