Best weapons for Yoimiya in Genshin Impact
Yoimiya is a Pyro DPS character who uses a bow and has numerous viable options for players to use. Here are some weapons that you can use on Yoimiya:
- Best 5-star weapon: Thundering Pulse – The Thundering Pulse is her best 5-star weapon and is one of the strongest bows in the game. This weapon directly increases Normal Attack DMG which is the best stat for Yoimiya, as most of her damage comes from her Normal Attacks empowered by her Elemental Skill.
- Best 4-star weapon: Rust – The Rust is like a budget version of the Thundering Pulse, increasing her ATK while also increasing her Normal Attack DMG. At higher refinements, this weapon can even outperform some 5-star alternatives.
- Best free-to-play weapon: Hamayumi – This weapon increases your Normal Attack DMG the least, but is the best option for free-to-play players without access to Rust or Thundering Pulse. If you are using the Shimenawa’s Reminiscence artifact set, then use the Prototype Crescent instead.
