Yoimiya's version 2.8 rerun banner is coming to Genshin Impact in a few short hours, right after Kazuha, Klee, and Heizou make their departure. Yoimiya is a five-star Pyro bow user who shines as a main DPS thanks to her potentially high single-target damage numbers that come from her strong normal attack. We'll run you through her abilities, best artifacts, weapons, and team comp to give an idea of how to build her when she arrives.

Since the bulk of Yoimiya's damage will come from using her normal attack while Niwabi Fire-Dance is active, raising her ATK, Pyro Damage, and Crit Dmg stats is the way to go here. Crit Rate is also important, but that stat already increases automatically as you level her up. So, you may not need as much Crit Rate on artifacts as you would for many other main DPS characters.
Yoimiya's attack should be as high as possible when going for substats. Crit stats should be chosen depending on what you need more of and how lucky you get with the RNG. Most players will need Crit Dmg over Crit Rate, but artifact farming is known to throw curveballs often. Energy Recharge is also quite important simply because Yoimiya doesn't have a reliable way to gain energy on her own. Finally, the least important stat listed above is Elemental Mastery, as consistent Pyro application can be difficult for her because of oddly-timed attacks.
Yoimiya has a bit of flexibility when it comes to her artifact sets. The first recommended set is Crimson Witch of Flames, which has the perfect two-piece bonus for her.
