Best Genshin Impact Yanfei build: Recommended Artifacts, and weapons for DPS role

sportskeeda.com:

Yanfei is a fairly one-note DPS character in Genshin Impact who has a simple build for players to try and obtain.

She is a 4-star Pyro Catalyst user with a penchant for Normal and Charged Attacks. Her kit is largely selfish, with many effects that vanish if she leaves the field. That said, there are still a few good weapons and artifacts for Yanfei mains to consider.

Some good P2W weapons for her include:

Some good F2P weapons for her include:

Ideal artifact sets for her consist of:

Given the simplicity of her kit, the following artifact stats will almost always be ideal for Yanfei:

The two main artifacts for her are a 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames or a 4-piece Wanderer's Troupe. A 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames set boosts her Pyro DMG by 15%, with the secondary effect of:

Wanderer's Troupe boosts Yanfei's Elemental Mastery by 80, with the 4-piece effect being:

Both artifact sets are good for her, so it will primarily boil down to which artifact stats are better. Crimson Witch of Flames is better if the player wants to focus on reactions, whereas Wanderer's Troupe is better for general use.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Skyward Atlas, and Solar Pearl are what some players would consider "P2W" weapons. The first two are 5-star Catalysts, so most F2P players wouldn't be able to get Constellations for them. Solar Pearl requires the player to buy the Gnostic Hymn with real-life money, making it unobtainable for true F2P players.

Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds boosts the user's CRIT Rate by 33.1%, which is the highest CRIT Rate substat for a Catalyst weapon (not counting the Royal Grimoire's situational effect). The Movement SPD bonus is niche, but the four stacks of 8~16% Elemental DMG Bonus are terrific.
