Yanfei is a legal genius of great renown from Liyue, and a catalyst wielder. She also has the mixed blood of an 'illuminated beast', making Yanfei half-human and potentially half-god, like Ganyu.
Yanfei Abilities
Normal attacks: Seal of Approval
- Normal attack: Shoots fireballs that deal three counts of Pyro damage. Normal attacks generate Scarlet Seals upon hitting enemies. Yanfei can hold up to three Scarlet Seals, and obtaining a new Scarlet Seal increases how long the others remain active. Scarlet Seals decrease Yanfei’s stamina consumption
- Charged attack: Deals AoE Pyro damage by consuming stamina and all active Scarlet Seals. More Scarlet Seals increase the attack’s range and power.
- Plunging attack: Yanfei dives down and deals AoE Pyro damage to all nearby enemies.
Elemental Skill: Signed Edict
Yanfei blisters enemies with an AoE Pyro attack. If the attack connects, it grants Yanfei three Scarlet Seals immediately.
Elemental Burst: Done Deal
Yanfei sends a spurt of flames after nearby enemies, dealing AoE Pyro damage, granting three Scarlet Seals, and applying the Brilliance status to her. Brilliance gives Yanfei a Scarlet Seal at regular intervals and boosts the power of her charged attack.
Passives
- Encyclopaedia Expertise: Shows nearby Liyue resources on the mini-map.
- Proviso: Consuming a Scarlet Seal increases Yanfei’s Pyro damage by 5% for six seconds, though the effect does not stack.
- Xiezhi’s Eye: Critical hits from Yanfei’s charged attack deal extra Pyro AoE damage equal to 80% of Yanfei’s attack, and it counts as charged attack damage.
Constellations
- The Law Knows No Kindness: During a charged attack, each active Scarlet Seal reduces the required stamina by 10% and increases Yanfei’s resistance to interruption.
- Right of Final Interpretation: Increases Yanfei’s charged critical rate by 20% against enemies with less than 50% HP.
- Samadhi Fire-Forged: Increases Signed Edict’s level by three with a maximum level of 15.

Yanfei build
Yanfei is a DPS character who draws the most of her strength from charged attacks which, in turn, build on her normal attacks.
Weapon
Solar Pearl
Solar Pearl is a four-star catalyst. Solar Pearl’s secondary stat increases the user’s critical rate by 6-27%, but the passive ability is the special part. Using normal or charged attacks with Solar Pearl increases Elemental Skill and Burst power by 20-40% for six seconds, and using Elemental Skill or Burst increases normal and charged power by the same amount for six seconds.
Royal Grimoire
Royal Grimoire is a four-star catalyst. Royal Grimoire’s secondary is a standard attack boost of 6-27%, but the passive increases the user’s critical rate by 8-16% with every successful attack and stacks up to five times. It’s not as hefty a build as the first one. You’ll be using Yanfei’s normal and charged attacks frequently, though, so augmenting their critical rate makes sense.
Artifacts
Martial Artist
Normal and charged attack increase by 15% with the two-piece bonus. With the four-piece bonus, using an Elemental Skill increases the attack power of both by 25% for eight seconds. Martial Artist Artifacts are drops in the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula Domain.
Crimson Witch of Flames
The two-piece bonus increases Pyro damage by 15%. The four-piece bonus raises Overload and Burning damage by 40% and Vaporize and Melt damage by 15%. If you use an Elemental Skill, it raises Pyro damage by a further 50% for ten seconds and stacks three times.
Version 1.5 "Beneath the Light of Jadeite" Trailer | Genshin Impact
Moonlight falls on the branches as a dragon's roar rises from deep beneath the roots. A drop of sun may trickle in, but a heart of stone is not easily moved.
Deals are sealed with scarlet flames and ice-cold vengeance floods forth in waves. But far from the fight is a realm of serenity, where a gentle melody forever plays.
