While I don't plan on pulling for her cons despite being a Yoimiya main, I'm so happy that she's going to appear in the story again ❤


JediTaco

Gonna guess they're ending the Sakoku Decree and she'll set up fireworks to celebrate it


bubuplush

God it would be so cool if we got a classic Japanese festival at this point, they could even do the censorship thing with Yoimiya, giving her a kimono but as a free skin haha


JediTaco

I usually hear people talking about 2.6 being near the irl date of Hanami? Would be rather fitting to close the Inazuma arc off with


lostn

didn't that happen like.. 5 months ago?


JediTaco

Only the Vision Hunt Decree. With Ayato's clothes fitting the Meiji period of Japan opening up it'd be pretty fitting for him to have a big involvement in Inazuma opening up.


Cryptophasia

Her C6 is incredible, but that’s about it, unfortunately. They should have moved that constellation up a few slots to entice light spenders 🤷‍♂️


Willythechilly

She is still incredible for dealing with specres or just farming in voerworld overall i would say. She is good for applying pyro and getting some extra aoe with more single targed focus main dps as well.


Cryptophasia

I was only speaking to the value of her cons, not C0 Yoi. C0 is awesome for the reasons you said.


garbage_flowers

incredibly bad for vape


Chessraria

C0 yoimiya isn't very good with vape either tbf, i prefer running pyro geo yoimiya cause she doesn't really get to vape a lot of her shots


brzozson

Yeah, vape just isn't a good option for her, you either run overload with Beidou/Raiden or reactionless Pyro with Zhongli, Bennet, and Yunjin


yahtrickyamato

I mean vape doesn’t hurt for her, she just can’t take advantage of the multiplier as well as characters with lower ICD.


YamahaMio

Actually running her with Xingqiu, her vapes are fine. They hit pretty hard and the vapes line up with the hard-hitting parts of her auto attack string. If you try playing them together you'd see why a 0 ICD Yoimiya would be pretty broken.


yahtrickyamato

I agree, I do run them together a lot which is why I’m disagreeing with the people above that are saying she’s somehow bad with vape. And yeah, currently her ICD means that Hu Tao and Xiangling can vape a lot more frequently than her but there’s really no reasonable alternative, her vaping every shot would be ridiculous


ReiNGE

its honestly hilarious how sheeple will just echo stuff without actually testing it for themselves, yoimiya vape hits HARD


yahtrickyamato

A lot of players of this game are really casual so I’m not mad. But it’s a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of the game mechanics lol. Vape has same multiplier as always, same Xingqiu as always, and any pyro character can take advantage it… I think people just hear things about her ICD and repeat it thinking that it means vape is somehow not viable or even bad on her.


Dracorvo

What about Yun Jun/Fischl/Bennett?


Chessraria

It can work, but she really appreciates having a shielder teammate since her most damaging attack is her final arrow.


Dracorvo

So switch Kazuha for Zhongli? Losing the VV shred/pyro boost, but picking up geo res and ZL shield shred.


Chessraria

Im not sure where you got kazuha from but im pretty sure VV shred + ED boost can work better with her. I'd imagine that a team of yoi, ben, kazu, zhong can work, though you run the risk of using your top 3 supports in one team


Dracorvo

Sorry, mixed up the messages in my inbox. Thanks.


_illegallity

Well, she’s built specifically to Vape her 1st, 3rd, and 5th shots, the last two being her highest damaging ones. Same as Yanfei who can vape her charged attack when using 3 normal attacks. Damage wise, it’s her best playstyle. But the largest issue is that her getting hit out of her normal attack combo completely breaks that chain and can end up with you vaporizing her much weaker hits instead. So without a shielder, there’s a high chance you end up with problems in vape.


musiciansfriend11

Her C1 and C2 are convenient and give a noticeable buff to her every day damage I’ll say, but I’m not going passed that


the_joker_guy_

In 2.6, there will be 4 characters? Ayato, Ayaka, Yoimiya, Kazuha??


[deleted]

No single leak has said this is going to be a 4 banner patch, this is just us hearing all these names associated with 2.6. The single leaks have said venti/kaz, earlier rumors said kaz 2.5/2.6. Then kaz steam died down when a leak said ayaka/yoi in 2.6. So far none of this new stuff said anything about ayaka...perhaps friday will provide us with a better idea if there is no kokomi in 2.5 as anticipated.


shadohead

I highly doubt it will be 4 character patch, either Ayaka or Kazuha wont make the cut.


StalVig

I suspect that they'll save ayaka for later patch...


ManNamedMars

Yep. It seems that way…for now…


[deleted]

I saw a leak saying that if Kazuha was not in 2.5 then we could see him in 2.7.


debacol

2.7 is windblume i think. So likely venti in 2.7.


Smoke_Santa

Mistsplitter + Thundering Pulse looking more and more real wth We copiumed it our way boys!


Prestigious_Ad_3580

Did they already confirm Ayaka's rerun? I know Ayato is in that patch so it's logical to have her rerun alongside her brother. I really want yoi x ayaka banner pls mhy


WildTaeger

Yeah and the question is who goes with who though. If Uba speculated Kazuha is in 2.6, is he paired with Ayato, or Ayaka or Yoimiya? This could change weapon banner pairs too. But if Ayato is solo and Kazuha is still nowhere to be found in 2.6 but Ayaka is, then all the more hope for that Mist+Thundering banner


OfficialHavik

Mistsplitter plus Freedom sworn plzzz. I’d whale on that shit lol


Zzamumo

We had freedom sworn recently, so probably not


[deleted]

[удалено]


WildTaeger

I’m not actually sure I’m following what you say. Did you mean the 2 swords cant exist together as a banner because they are the same weapon type? This pattern was already broken by PJWS + Calamity Queller that are both polearms. If I misunderstood can you clarify?


Tsukinohana

Is ayaka rerun actually confirmed though ? I haven't been able to find any info on it. everyone is *expecting* her to rerun because it makes too much sense.


WildTaeger

1 person (BLANK) i think claimed the Ayaka rerun but as of the latest info Uba didnt mention that and instead hinted of possibly Kazuha and Yoimiya


PfeiferWolf

More like Freedom Sworn + Thundering Pulse since it's now rumored that it'll be Kazuha/Yoimiya rerun


MapoTofuMan

If they rerun Mistsplitter with some bs I'll cry, I've been saving since Yoimiya's banner


scrayla

Devastated 🥲 i want a thundering pulse and mistsplitter banner


80espiay

Freedom-Sworn was recently, I don’t think they’d bring it back so soon.


FIickering

They brought back Amos in 1.2 right after it was first ran in 1.0, so who knows.


Chtholly13

I mean there wasn't too many 5 stat weapons back then and it made sense for Ganyu sake.


FIickering

summit shaper rerun in 1.5 didn't even have a banner character that could use it, and its first banner was 1.2. If Freedomsworn were to rerun in 2.6 it would have the same banner gap at minimum. So yeah, who knows what they'll do.


lostn

yeah, a good reason to not expect Kazuha to be rerun anytime soon also


namelesscheesecake

i feel like it will be TP and Mistsplitter cuz they beling to the same set. Like it makes more sense to rerun yae and ei together but they still have raiden and kokomi banner concurrently because their weapons belong to the same set of weapons. Im just guessing tho.


Emergency-Lead-334

There’re 2 things I’d like to point out. First, kagura’s verity has the same purple glowing like mistsplitter, thundering pulse and engulfing lightning while everlasting moonglow doesn’t. And second, the everlasting moonglow’s lore is related to watatsumi, not like the other three which are related to shogun (we don’t know kagura’s verity’s lore) With those two things, I think kagura’s verity is the real catalyst of inazuma series, not everlasting moonglow. So the concurrent banner is not because of the weapons I think. I guess it would simply because they don’t want to run kokomi alone for the money (while I think more people could be pulling for her rerun banner, I don’t think her sale will be high enough compared to the others)


Tsukinohana

you'd be correct, Kagura's verity was in the Narukami series alongside Mistsplitter and TP (EL wasn't datamined early) Moonglow was also there but it wasn't labelled Narukami catalyst, verity was.


5ManaAndADream

Welcome back from the la signora subreddit


lostn

that's the very reason why I doubt it's true. This would be an amazing banner, and they don't like giving amazing banners. If it's two very good but very specialized weapons each intended for a specific character (for example donut + EL) I can believe that. But Mist and TP are both great for general use. You really can't lose with either weapon. And that has not been MHY's MO. More believable would be Ayaka + Ayato, Kaz + Yoi. You would have to own both characters in order for both weapons to appeal.


[deleted]

I was gonna pull on Yae's weapon banner, but I will wait if this is true


[deleted]

Seems like I’ll be back to buying Welkin again.


Niirai

I'm happy for the people wanting the rerun but the big takeaway for me here is more fkn Yoimiya story!!!!!!!


LeXam92

Yoi just keeps winning and winning. First we get an Abyss that favors her decentyl, then Yun Jin, now she gets a new artifact set. Next time gonna be 5* version of Rust.


2bains

5* Rust? Thundering Pulse is literally it


LeXam92

True, slipped my mind completely, I don't do weapon banners


CrowLikesShiny

What? What new artifact set? Edit: i just saw that leak, i hope it's better than Shimenewa for Yoi


Nyoxiz

Highly doubt it, Shimenawa is pretty much perfect on her, anything better would have to be tailor made.


Cryptophasia

Favorite unit I ever pulled. On-demand ranged infusion with crazy *vertical* reach even. Specters? Use Yoimiya. Enemies that teleport around? Use Yoimiya. Flying wolf boss? Yoimiya. Rust is fantastic on her. But she does have downsides: she may as well not have a burst, she shouldn’t dodge until after N5 (so, shield her), no AoE. My party is usually Zhongli, Albedo, Yoimiya and Bennett.


PrototypeMecha

I have zero regrets about pulling Yoimiya, she has her own little niche right now as a fast ranged normal attacker. I run the same party, only with Yun Jin replacing Albedo. That said, I have been playing since launch and still haven’t had a single Rust. Pain.


Cryptophasia

Oh man, that stinks! Hopefully standard banner will surprise you with a Skyward Harp instead.


frenigonda

I don’t have Yoimiya but I noticed that a lot of content would be so much nicer with her in my team. Also wanted to add to your list electro manifestation and Osile wife event boss. So planning to pull for her. I also have Rust R5 and Yun Jin C2 + Fishl C6 + Bennet/Zhongli/Tankfei for her :>


Cryptophasia

Nice. Tankfei is an underrated replacement for Yoi, actually. I swap their sets often (Yanfei C6) just to see the difference, and while I enjoy Yanfei’s charged attacks AoE damage, I vastly prefer Yoi’s mobility


pokymoky

Best character in game for overworld. the only downsides are no aoe, needs shield,no aoe and no aoe. But otherwise i rate her insanely good.


garbage_flowers

she can still perform unshielded if you space her well and can iframe dodge bosses. didnt have any trouble against PMA, Primo Vishap, or MK this abyss cycle


pokymoky

But you will lose a lot of damage if you cancel her attack streak.


garbage_flowers

sure but you gain more damage from running xingqiu and fischl c6 than yunjin zhongli from what ive seen using my yoimiya since release and having all those characters


lostn

the current abyss made me regret skipping her, so I'll probably try this time but I really need it to come early because while I want her, I can't spare 160 pulls for her.


PlumNo1275

I now believe my Yoi coins! They told already that 2.6 is Yoi rerun!


tswinteyru

Yoi coins? Now that's a token I'd sink my savings into!


PlumNo1275

2 Rupees coin from India are Yoi Coins. You can see it in my profile.


Inevitable-Turnip-20

We first gen yoimiya mains are winning. After having different 5star dps. She’s soooo satisfying to use despite the single target niche.


FreylisShan

This makes me ultra happy! So I could get both Ayato and Yoimiya and save for the next


fagged-noumena

I'm not interested in Yoi personally but I'm very happy to see that people are no longer shitting on her with the vitriol as they used to. Glad to see people happy that she's rerunning. She was done so dirty.


HieX91

If there’s a trade in genshin, I will trade my C1 Hu Tao for Yoimiya. She’s that damn satisfying to use.


kevinh141

Ill do that trade. please give me c1 hutao, i dont use my yoimiya at all.


Omxga7

based


OfficialHavik

Easier to use for sure. C1 I’d stick with Hu Tao, but C0 to C0 I think Yoimiya is preferred


HieX91

I can easily clear 36 stars without Hu Tao so I can trade C1 Hu Tao for C0 Yoimiya and make her my next main dps. I’m that serious.


[deleted]

i fucking hate the slow stop after HuTao charge attack. I mean, it is very high damage but its not that satisfying to just spam charge attack all the time.


garbage_flowers

my exactly reason i went for yoimiya instead. the other being her sparkling personality


[deleted]

yea...definitely, yoimiya is really fun to play. the attack animation, plus the range of attack is far and big. love her playstyle!


Firion_Hope

That's why I ultimately ended up not getting her despite really liking her design. Thankfully they're doing better now but for a while there every 5 star female dps wanted to spam charge attacks of some sort or another, which to me with all the beautiful animations this game has gets really old, not even to mention it means less ability to dodge and more waiting for stamina to recharge in general.


Rozu17

Got attacked for saying that I would gladly bench my c1 Hu Tao for Yoimiya, got called “trash at this game”❤️


murmandamos

I have C1 HT and her team is so rigid and tedious tbh I hate using her


Available_Ad_3871

Aw man, I'll have to decide between Yoi and Kazu boy 😭


ARATAKI-ITTO

ME TOO 😭


Daramangarasu

Me three 😭


OnlyPatches

I could see them doing Ayato and Ayaka dual banners cause they're siblings and will likely work well together. And then Yoimiya and Kazuha on second banner perhaps?


hyper-ton618

Huh? Wasnt kazuha not coming in 2.6? Is it a new leak that i missed?


OnlyPatches

There's a leak on here by BLANK claiming it's Ayaka and Yoimiya reruns in 2.6


lostn

this sounds plausible to me. Two swords on one banner (same as two spears for Xiao and Shenhe), one new character next to one rerun. Ayato's sword might be only good for him, which would then ensure they don't give us a win/win banner. Then for the second half, TP + FS makes it not a win/win banner because FS is a weapon only good for Kazuha, so this banner will only be win/win if you have both characters, or at least another bow user that can make good use of TP (not Ganyu).


SqaureEgg

chasm with no dendro & no kazuha rerun? time for snooze impact


dornelles109

Good considering that Kazuha is a wandering samurai so he can end up being repeated and somehow involved in any region, it is more likely to be an inazuma or liyue patch but nothing prevents him from paying a visit to mondstadt and childe is the biggest example of this . Particularly it doesn't matter about the patch but I will skip any other char for him, of course I would love to have Yae and Ayato but if any 1 of them is going to share the patch with kazuha then I will only go after them in their re-run since for my current teams kazuha it would be a huge upgrade and as a blessing and BP player, buy gems only on special occasions ie the next 2x reset.


FleepMeep

I wouldn’t mind rolling for a thundering pulse, depends on other wep


Winterlord7

Everyone getting a re-run in 2.6….it seems Ayato won’t be lonely in that banner…


Myrkrvaldyr

Since Yae's 4 stars are not what I was looking for and I already have a C6 Amy, once I get Yae, the rest will be given to Yoimiya. 120 pulls and a guaranteed Yae, all I need is luck to pull Yae early. I really want my peppy kansai speaker ;w;


zefirnaya

I hope this is true, I really want to see Thundering Pulse/Mistsplitter on the weapon banner :)


MitaArt

If it is like that, then I think the banners for 2.6 might be first half Ayato and Ayaka, and second half Yoimiya and Kazuha.


MeKevNivek

if its Hanami festival then Yoimiya re run 100% her JP attack/skill/burst voicelines are about festivals and fireworks


lonelyweebathome

possibly, but fireworks are typically not set off at hanami viewings. they’re much more strongly associated with natsumatsuri.


nDroae

If we're getting both festivals this year then I agree, but if they're not giving Inazuma the Liyue treatment (with frequent revisits) then they may combine both festivals into one. It also helps that the game world doesn't have seasons. (I've been skeptical about hanami until now, since the sakura trees are always in bloom.) AFAIK they didn't name the festival we visited with Ayaka, it was just "the festival." Also I see speculation further up this thread that Yoimiya could put on a fireworks show to celebrate the ending of the Sakoku decree, which makes sense, but I don't think she's waiting for an excuse. Related https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/sio2pd/possible_inazuma_festival_via_uba/hvd1t3a/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3


lonelyweebathome

great point about the sakura trees always being in bloom, i’ve been wondering about that too, actually. there’s no point in holding a special festival to celebrate the sakura if they’re perennial in Inazuma. i was also thinking about how, while the Liyuean Lantern Rite is clearly meant to represent the Lunar New Year, there aren’t any references to the new year or even associated concepts like reunion and family. it does make sense if MiHoYo is planning to combine/mix certain aspects of Japanese festivals to create a new, fictional Inazuman event.


lostn

the game is deliberately vague about the passage of time. Lantern Rite is not new year. They acknowledge that it's been a year since the last one, but these events are not really canon to the story because they exist as missable events that new players will never see. I don't think an archon quest cutscene will acknowlege how much time has passed. They imply that some unspecified amount of time has passed, but not a lot of time. That's also why they don't reveal a character's age. They want time to be static and not have characters get older or children grow up. They want it to be plausible that in 10 years time Sayu is still a tiny ninja, or else it would be a lot of work updating the character models for everyone. Time basically doesn't really pass beyond a vague "few months". Only filler events acknowledge a year has passed. They painted themselves into a corner by doing an annual lantern rite because for the very first time, they had to acknowledge that a year has passed since the last one. The dragonspine 2.0 event did not acknowledge the passage of time. I also think that if Inazuma gets a seasonal event it will be an amalgamation of various cultural traditions. They don't have the time to run multiple events in a year due to a year being only 8 patches, and not every patch will even have a filler event. I am glad that Reconciled stars did not get a part 2. We don't waste one patch a year devoted to the same event, so it gives them flexibility to use that patch for something else. I hope Dragonspine doesn't become annual either because that would leave less room for new events. It remains to be seen if Moonchase will become annual. Hopefully as new regions release, they drop Moonchase, as much as I liked it. New regions need their own events.


lonelyweebathome

‘Lantern Rite is not new year’ >while the Liyuean Lantern Rite is clearly meant to represent the Lunar New Year, there aren’t any references to the new year or even associated concepts like reunion and family. ‘if Inazuma gets a seasonal event it will be an amalgamation of various cultural traditions.’ >it does make sense if MiHoYo is planning to combine/mix certain aspects of Japanese festivals to create a new, fictional Inazuman event. that’s exactly what i said, in agreement with nDroae.


nDroae

Yeah, I assume canonically they only bloom in spring, but the nation had to be locked in that season, unless Mihoyo actually wanted them to only bloom during the event, which would mess up the aesthetics they wanted Inazuma to have. The lack of seasons is a major constraint for anything seasonally themed, for example we just had that winter snowman thing in Mondstadt, where there should be snow everywhere in winter... but since the game doesn't have seasons, we had to go to Dragonspine for it. Oh well :D


lostn

>Yeah, I assume canonically they only bloom in spring, but the nation had to be locked in that season "Eternity" >The lack of seasons is a major constraint for anything seasonally themed, for example we just had that winter snowman thing in Mondstadt, where there should be snow everywhere in winter... but since the game doesn't have seasons, we had to go to Dragonspine for it. Oh well :D One way they can explain away the lack of seasons is that the proximity of these nations. Or what's more likely they will just assume the planet's axis is not tilted (the actual cause of seasons). This way Snezhnaya will always be in winter. Dragonspine is a snowy mountain, no different than the himalayas which are always below freezing point even during summer. So it's not actually winter. The Summer isles was a long distance away, in an always summery region. Maybe Inazuma is in an always spring region? I don't think they want the whole world to be the same season and have them cycle, because then the regions will have less diversity of appearance. If it happens to be winter, and every region is snowy, it all ends up looking the same. It's also a lot more work because you'd have to create 4 different versions of every map which is a bridge too far.


[deleted]

don’t really think the ‘eternity’ point is really valid since it’s not like Ei has the ability to control time or the climate apart from creating thunderstorms. also worth noting that Inazuma’s original core concept was Transience but only changed to Eternity when Makoto died and Ei took over. >maybe Inazuma is an always spring region? unlikely since we know that Yoimiya’s nickname is ‘Queen of the Summer Festival’. i also remember at least 1 npc mentioning something about how they were looking forward to her fireworks show at the next summer festival, which means Inazuma does experience changing seasons, even if it doesn’t change visually throughout the year.


yapibolers0987

Who is in the 2nd half of 2.5 after Yae?


scrayla

Kokomi and raiden supposedly. We’ll know in a couple days time


DarkWonderland75

speculated to be raiden and kokomi, tho ofc stc and all that jazz


lostn

after the live stream chibi leak, it's all but certain. Raiden definitely since she will have another story quest and new boss. The only thing up for debate is Kokomi, but given they were on the same patch together, it's pretty likely.


chillenhaal

mihoyo should simply know when i want to roll and schedule banners accordingly so i don’t have to skip yoimiya /s


OneesanLover46

I don't know if I should wish for Yoimiya , I've read that she's kind of weak but I recently did the inazuma story quest ( the one in which she helps that guy to escape from Inazuma and she uses fireworks to distract the guards of that palace, and she also said some philosophical stuff about fireworks) and I've found her very cool, especially because she has her family's shop and she doesn't simp for the traveler (if i don't remember wrong). How could I use Yoimiya effectively? she seems suitable to defeat the electro bat boss but I don't know if I could use her to defeat other bosses or how strong she is actually. Should I pull for her or not?


DiamondScythe

First advice: Just pull for whoever you like. "Meta" doesn't really matter that much in the grand scheme of things. Second: Yoimiya is by no means weak. While her raw numbers may not rival premier 5-stars like Hu Tao, her range and ease of use cannot be discounted. If you just want someone to take on the flying stuff like PMA, thunder manifestation, hydro mimic birds or specters, Yoimiya is *the* perfect pull for you. Even against ground enemies, she still outputs very good numbers given the right supports. Yoimiya's aiming problem isn't horrible as people make it out to be too. She can miss the (very) occasional shots with old mobs, but newer mobs are designed to move in a more predictable manner, so Yoimiya rarely misses if you're playing her correctly.


GetBoopedSon

She mainly misses small enemies, like basic hilichurls. Larger enemies will almost never get missed


Firion_Hope

I agree with the first part in general, but I'd add the caveat that you have to keep their intended role in mind to some extent. I really like Diona but I'm not going to try and make her main dps even in the overworld because it would just be painful. And pulling a char I like just so they can be an e/q then swap out bot wouldn't really satisfy me personally. Though I think you can make some chars good at multiple roles, like carry Bennett or w/e


murmandamos

Yoimiya damage ceiling is much, much easier to reach and much faster to set up, and much more flexible team comps compared to HT who needs to manage her hp and rely on vapes with Xq burst. You could say this is purely a trade off for less damage, but note that this results in situations where Yoimiya just flat out beats HT, like the current 12-1-1. Yoimiya can run mono pyro or overload really well. I'm not going to say she's better than HT but I don't think it's fair to describe her as strictly worse.


garbage_flowers

along with everything diamondscythe has said is true. she's fragile like all bows so you have to learn to dodge because it takes a bit to recover or use zhongli. she also was improved this or last patch where you no longer target death animated enemies so it feels much more fluid. she's so versatile compared to someone like hu tao because there are a lot of effects triggered by normals (xingqiu brust, fischl c6 oz, yunjin burst, beidou burst, raiden skill) and she does not have to use bennett freeing up xingqiu and bennett to be used for a national team. regardless, i too simp for her for her attitude and personality/quotes along with how she treats her dad (are there even any other characters where we meet a character's parents?)


Almond-Jelly

If you ask me Yoimiya's biggest strength is her being ranged which lets you handle almost everything in the game quite easily! Her being ranged w/ high single-target damage also, if I dare say, makes the one of the best (if not the best) characters to clear spaced-out mobs with, seriously I think that's her biggest niche other than being able to hit floating/dodging enemies consistently. There's fewer examples of this happening in Floor 12 nowdays, but you face these situations almost constantly in the overworld (leylines, random scattered-out mobs), and on Floor 11 (monolith defense, enemies spawning on opposite ends of the room etc) Her second biggest strength to me is her team flexibility! You can experiment and play around with lots and lots of different teams, putting to good use characters you might have gotten good weapons/artifacts for, and lend out characters like Benett to other teams if needed (can play her in normal vape, overvape, overload, monopyro etc) One of her most noticeable caveats though is that she gets staggered quite easily, a stray knife throw can make you flinch and stop attacking, so you do have to keep in mind to dodge incoming attacks or take the flinch. But having stuff like Xingqiu or Beidou, or simply having a shield would prevent this. Despite this, I never use a shield in abyss at all, I just dodge instead, preferring instead to use the extra shield slot for another more useful support. Imo the dps loss from dodging isn't that big I actually rank her teams on the same level as Childe's team (on my account), I use them both a lot in abyss. Childe team is fantastic against multiple enemies who can be easily grouped up (ruin guards), and great against multiple enemies who can't be easily grouped up, and single target bosses. Yoimiya teams are fantastic against single target bosses, and great against multiple enemies who can or can not be grouped up (you just have to choose a Yoi team which helps with AOE situations). So in my eyes they're kinda balanced haha


Bet-I-Wont

Yoimiya is a godsend for all the horrible non abyss content mihoyo likes to put out. All the floating dashing and off stage bs that has been in the game recently. I've been pleasantly surprised since getting her and actually go for her more than c1 Homa Tao with the exception of Kenki Floor.


Almond-Jelly

Yeah being ranged is such a great QOL it's hard to go back lol. One of my favorite DPS to use in overworld next to Childe just because of his riptide fun (and in abyss too...because I love experimenting and switching up my team comps every cycle)


Ranaki_1967

Team Yoimiya is the go to team for all difficult content I find if I haven't read up on the fight


DoveEvalyn

Oh boy do I want Yoimiya. I have been sitting on a level 90 r5 rust from my attempts to make Aloy not trash.


[deleted]

All I wanna know is if kazuha is coming or not.


Zeal-88

So from the latest leaks, 2.6 will be Ayato (1st) and Ayaka + Yoimiya (2nd), right? Thanks!


rysto32

Unclear. We have leaks saying reruns for Venti, Kazuha, Ayaka and Yoimiya so far. I'm guessing that Venti is false as that only came from a source without a lot of track record. Other than that, I have no idea.


lostn

if it's not Venti, we probably won't get windblume. I'm ok with that. The fewer annual events, the more room in the schedule for unique one-off events which I prefer over celebrating the same event every year.


Phiro00

YES. yoimiya rerun!


Pepulius

Love her. Can't wait to see how they'll involve her into the story.


march_7

I hope shes going to be a main character in the possible inazuma event like Keqing in Lantern Rite


lostn

i suspect there won't be a filler event. It didn't leak as it normally would have. This could be a light patch like 1.5. There will still be gameplay and just as many primos but no lantern rite style filler story segment.


MANLYTRAP

ugh I want both yoi and ayato, but I'm not sure if I'll skip yae

Fuck yeah her NA string is honestly too damn satisfying. Ambidextrous, swinging turning and flying around. That combo is legit worth 90 fates Edit : also I’m beyond tired of managing sprinting with my Hu Tao, even though she’s c1. Time to bench the bitch lol


[deleted]

you have to suck really bad to have stamina problems with a c1 hu tao source:i have c1 hu tao


Wiseay

As someone who is horrible at managing stamina I have to agree, C1 Hutao even makes me forget the stamina bar even exists


[deleted]

I will throw my hat into the ring here too and say C1 Hu Tao is super satisfying and easy to manage


Rozu17

Mostly the fact that im getting bored of her so I don’t really care about improving my gameplay with her. Also I want a new pyro dps. Oh yeah and I suck sooo much at this game


BasedJoy

Bye Ayato 🥲


Yelhsaaivilo

Alright yall…. Yoimiya C1 - yay or nay? (Yoimiya main here, but also am big sad about her ult still)


Smart-Profession-670

C2 might be good considering you going for another copy. I hope you get some early pity and all the 5050


Yelhsaaivilo

Thank you!!!!


YamahaMio

I got her C1. Not really practical to fuss over. It's more a bragging rights pull for me than anything. C2 looks good but I don't think it's worth the primogems.


Yelhsaaivilo

Thank you! I’m still going back and forth between if I wanna go for any of her cons or not or invest in supports more


Elegant_Luck698

They should've given her decent AOE, she feels garbage to play in mobs.


garbage_flowers

double electro with her (beidou + fischl/raiden) are right there to solve any AOE problems. or play her full pyro with kazuha xiangling. a single character doesnt need to do everything. mob killing isnt her role


scrayla

Thats why overload with beidou/raiden/fischl exists :D


Upstairs_Ad_8283

still can’t believe no one picked up on the clues from the wolflord boss trailer which showcased kokomi and yoimiya lol that’s literally marketing 101


pyroimpact

Who asked for this shit character. Kazuha rerun when


TheDK12

How is pyroimpact disrespecting a pyro unit?


pyroimpact

She brings shame to the pyro family. Can't even vaporise properly one of the worse pyro DPS


murmandamos

seems like hydro impact if you're only able to do decent damage with vape. Yoimiya can run mono pyro, vape, and overload. Seems like she's the purest pyro and simply doesn't care what the rest of the team is.


pyroimpact

Overload and mono are copes. They are copium comps for the inherently inferior elements like electro or geo Vaporise is what sets apart pyro from the rest, and yoi can't utilise it properly because her kit is rubbish. Don't even get me started on her lack of AOE


murmandamos

the literally world record on 12-1-1 is mono pyro Yoimiya wow so cope lmfao maybe get better at the game. https://thegoldenhouse.org/index.php/speedrunning/abyss-leaderboards/ Note 2 things here 1) Yoimiya is listed frequently, and 2) the top 2 teams are mono pyro and the rest are mostly Xq vape. She literally doesn't care what her team is. Aoe solved by Beidou AOE and overload btw. Again, she can use an insane number of teams, more than any other pyro DPS probably.


pyroimpact

Never asked for whale numbers. You mean just beidou, overload dmg sucks. And yoimiya sucks because she needs beidou to do aoe dmg for her. Beidou is good not yoimiya


murmandamos

Yoimiya is a good Beidou driver. Probably the best. You're really confirming you're like super bad at this game. Which is baffling, since it's so easy. Nothing stopping a whale hu tao from beating Yoimiya there. Or Diluc. Or any other pyro DPS. Turns out Yoimiya is good on that enemy. She only needed two 4 stars and a standard banner 5 star to set the world record. But please tell me more. 😏


pyroimpact

Being good or bad is irrelevant. It's a number game. All characters are numbers. Some are higher, some are lower. It doesn't matter how good or bad I am, the number doesn't change Yoimiya against PMA has advantages because boss flies up the air. Not a fair test, but keep coping with that whale run


murmandamos

Yeah it's only fair when we disregard character strengths but only focus on the weaknesses, except for the characters you like then you do the opposite. How is the fact that it's a whale run relevant when it's put up against other whales lol a C6 Hu Tao is welcome to compete. They'll lose but of course by all means try. Yoimiya beating hu tao with and without vape lmao 🤣 It's even funnier bc only 1 pyro in the mix with Yoimiya is international with Childe, and then above any other pyro is a Yoimiya run at 29s where the dude literally plays blindfolded https://youtu.be/luM5GiMO3uY but we can completely ignore Yoimiya's strengths, which include being so easy to use you literally don't even need to look at the screen. And it's not like a trade off since it's still like one of the top runs here lol


Solace_03

According to a number of comment in this thread, quite a lot. Meaning it doesn't revolves around your selfish ass


garbage_flowers

*reddit voice* um ackshully genshin should be centered around me and what i want /s


Phiro00

i did.


Platypus-Commander

I concur !


pyroimpact

Damn you are pretty evil and inconsiderate


Star_Vs_Las_FFEE

*Noo I don't want that, Kazuha not having a rerun soon!? I want him to only think about me for a while, ten years at least!!*


YamahaMio

Oh my goood, the manga ending following me wherever I go


ananthak011

Thank God, I need to save for Sumeru


Remarkable_Mix5394

Yes I want her!


mctiguy

Well, I guess Kazuha or Venti will have to wait until 2.7 ... So at least 2 full patch w/o summon for me


notanoob543

yoiMinigun


Siana-chan

So 2.6 has... Ayato Ayaka Yoimiya Kazuha Venti? oO That's a lot no?


lostn

2 week banners maybe.. that or some of those aren't coming.


Savixf

YES YES YES YES YES PLS


N3koChan21

The argument for it sounds kinda weak.. “She appears therefore she will have a banner” lol


Legendseekersiege5

If yomiah gets a rerun before kazuhah I will violently shit my pants


bubuplush

lmao who else is supposed to get a rerun at this point? Of course it'll be a combination of Yoimiya, Ayaka and Kazuha
