Constellations in Genshin Impact are the best way to increase the power of a certain character. Players can take advantage of them to enhance their favorite character and make it a viable option to tackle some of Genshin Impact’s harder modes, like the Spiral abyss.

As a Pyro unit, Yoimiya doesn’t really hold up to all the advantages Pyro units are usually blessed with. What makes her suffer is the lackluster talents that shape her to be a single target unit that demands a lot of conditions to maximize her DPS. That’s not the case with her Constellations, though, as some of her Constellations can turn her into a worthy Genshin Impact DPS.

Are Yoimiya’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?

For players that want to pull in Yoimiya’s banner, yes her Constellations are worth it. In fact, she can’t fully operate without them. Unlike most Pyro characters in Genshin Impact, Yoimiya’s potential is held by major limitations and her Constellations have the key to unlock them. Without them, she suffers from a long cooldown to her Elemental Skill, where all her damage comes from.

C1 - Agate Ryuukin

• Effect: The Aurous Blaze created by Elemental Burst lasts for an extra 4s. Additionally, when an opponent affected by Aurous Blaze is defeated within its duration, Yoimiya's ATK is increased by 20% for 20s.
• Importance: Low

C1 Yoimiya’s passive effect doesn’t add much to her kit. The reason for that is because her first Constellation buffs her Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact, which is an underwhelming talent. Her Burst will most likely mess up her Elemental Reactions that she counts on to increase her damage overall. Having her Elemental Burst for four extra seconds will hurt her more than benefit her.

C2 - A Procession of Bonfires

• Effect: When Yoimiya's Pyro DMG scores a CRIT Hit, Yoimiya will gain a 25% Pyro DMG Bonus for 6s. This effect can be triggered even when Yoimiya is not the active character.
• Importance: Medium

C2 Yoimiya’s passive effect increases her damage if she landed a Critical hit. While extra damage is good for a DPS, it is not really worth getting two 5-star Genshin Impact constellations for 25% extra Pyro damage.

C4 - Pyrotechnic Professional

• Effect: When Yoimiya's own Elemental Burst triggers an explosion, Elemental Skill's CD is decreased by 1.2.
• Importance: Priority

Paired with her C1 effect, Yoimiya’s fourth Constellation decreases her Elemental Skill cooldown and has the ability to keep it active 100% of the time, which is exactly what she needs to be a decent DPS. Without this Constellation, Yoimiya suffers from a long cooldown on her Skill that will always hurt her damage. The best part of this Constellation is that it can be triggered by other units in Yoimiya’s team compositions in Genshin Impact.

C6 - Naganohara Meteor Swarm

• Effect: In the Elemental Skill's duration, Yoimiya's Normal Attacks have a 50% chance of firing an extra Blazing Arrow that deals 60% of its original DMG. This DMG is considered a Normal Attack DMG.
• Importance: High

C6 Yoimiya’s passive effect unlocks her full power making her a literal machine gun of arrows. It is a very important Constellation to turn Yoimiya into a force to be reckoned with. What’s good about having an extra arrow on almost every arrow fired by Yoimiya is that it refreshes her internal cooldown (ICD) and gives her the capability to trigger more Vaporize and Melt reactions.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
