Inazuma’s primary firework supplier is Yoimiya, a powerful Pyro Bow character who incorporates her firework knowledge into her impressive Pyro skillset. She is a solid recruit for any Genshin Impact player who is seeking a fiery primary damage dealer for their team, but she does require a specific type of team lineup that makes crafting the best Yoimiya team possible a tough task.
The owner of Naganohara Fireworks is beloved by those in her hometown of Narukami Island and also beloved by the Genshin community for her explosive skillset and personality.

While many players look to characters that wield direct hit damage through polearms or claymores to be their primary damage dealers, those who wield a bow can still be impressive forces on the battlefield with some bow characters even ranking among the best overall characters in Genshin. Yoimiya is certainly a strong candidate and is definitely one of Genshin’s better bow recruits.
Some Genshin characters can function freely and switch between a variety of roles, but Yoimiya is a character who will only really function well within one specific role. She is meant to take a primary damage role, which makes building a roster around her somewhat limited as players will need to construct the entire team based on her skillset.
The best Yoimiya team in Genshin Impact
While Yoimiya must function as the primary damage-dealing unit on any given team, her Pyro element mixes well with most other units, meaning players will still have a wide variety of options despite Yoimiya’s specific role requirements.
Those who play well alongside her are also a fairly solid mix of both four-star and five-star characters which allows players many easily obtainable options.
With the overall structure for a solid Genshin team, plus Yoimiya’s specific abilities in mind, here is a general outline of what the best team for the Pyro Bow character will look like.
- The first team member is Yoimiya, who functions as the primary damage dealer and spends the most time on the battlefield. The bulk of the damage dealt against foes should be coming from her skillset and her Pyro element.
- The second team member functions as the secondary damage dealer and should be able to deal effective damage even when not on the battlefield. The abilities of this character should complement Yoimiya’s and be capable of filling in the time between her skill cooldowns.
- The third team member should be some kind of support character who helps amplify Yoimiya’s abilities, provides strong support for elemental reactions, and bolsters the entire team.
- The fourth and final team member can be either another damage dealer, a healer, or another supporting character. Based on my experience with building powerful teams in Genshin, the best kind of character for this role will vary drastically depending on how the rest of the composition looks.
Best Yoimiya team compositions in Genshin Impact
Because Yoimiya will only perform well when she is the primary damage dealer on a team, the team composition options for her are somewhat limited. Generally, players will want to seek characters who can function well in a variety of roles and who play well with the Pyro element when creating a team for Yoimiya.
With Yoimiya’s specific skillset in mind, here are some of the best Genshin characters who will play well alongside her.
- Five-star Hydro Bow character Yelan
- Four-star Geo Polearm character Yun Jin
- Five-star Geo Polearm character Zhongli
- Four-star Hydro Sword character Xingqiu
- Five-star Electro Polearm character Raiden Shogun
- Four-star Hydro Polearm character Candace
- Five-star Anemo Sword character Kaedehara Kazuha
- Four-star Pyro Sword character Bennett
- Five-star Anemo Bow character Venti
- Four-star Cryo Bow character Diona
- Five-star Geo Sword character Albedo
These characters all have elements that will work well alongside Yoimiya’s Pyro abilities and also function in a way that serves to bolster her skillset while also having powerful skillsets of their own. They can all be mixed and matched in a wide variety of ways so players should experiment until they find the team lineup that is best for their own unique gameplay style.
While this group of characters includes the overall best options for a Yoimiya team, Teyvat is filled with powerful recruits and there are also many others beyond this list who play well with her. The roster of characters is also always expanding which means the best Yoimiya teams will likely change in the future.
Here are five of the best team compositions players can construct for Yoimiya using the previously mentioned characters.
1) Yoimiya, Yelan, Yun Jin, and Zhongli
The team composition is generally regarded by players as one of the best options because every character on this team functions together perfectly.
Yoimiya and Yelan work well together to execute the powerful Vaporize elemental reaction and Yelan functions great as a strong character who synergizes with Yoimiya due to her ability to provide solid Hydro damage and buffs while not active on the battlefield.
Yun Jin is capable of providing a strong normal attack buff that is perfect for amplifying Yoimiya’s already powerful skillset. Lastly, Zhongli functions as an all-around excellent support character able to bolster his team in a variety of ways.
2) Yoimiya, Raiden Shogun, Xingqiu, and Yun Jin
Combining Yoimiya with Raiden Shogun offers players the opportunity to consistently create the powerful Overloaded elemental reaction. Pyro and Electro work well together and Overloaded is capable of dealing with many foes at once. Attaining five-star characters can be rather difficult, and those who like this team lineup but are unable to attain Raiden Shogun could substitute her with Fischl or Beidou for similar but less powerful results.
Yun Jin once more graces the team lineup with Yoimiya due to her unique ability that helps bolster Yoimya’s damage output, but players seeking a different character could also potentially substitute her with Bennett or Zhongli for decent results. Xingqiu helps Yoimiya create the Vaporize elemental reaction and functions as an all-around excellent secondary damage dealer who plays quite well with Yoimiya.
3) Yoimiya, Raiden Shogun, Zhongli, and Yelan
This team lineup is essentially a different version of the previous two teams combined but features some of the best dynamics for amplifying Yoimiya’s skillset.
Because the Raiden Shogun is a character who can freely flow between a variety of roles, she is one of the best choices to join Yoimiya on a team as she is able to amplify her abilities in a variety of ways. Zhongli also joins Yoimiya again for this lineup because he excels as an all-around support character capable of protecting and helping the rest of the team.
Not many secondary damage dealers like Yelan exist. She is one of the few characters that are able to really help Yoimiya shine. Yelan is one of Genshin’s best secondary damage dealers and support characters which makes her an excellent choice alongside Yoimiya.
4) Yoimiya, Candace, Kaedehara Kazuha, and Albedo
This unique composition offers Albedo as the secondary damage dealer. He functions fairly well alongside her and his Geo abilities also help shield the team as a whole with the Crystallize elemental reaction.
Adding Candace to this team composition allows Yoimiya and her to work together to create the Vaporize elemental reaction. Candace is also able to grant a normal attack increase that works great for Yoimiya.
Kazuha excels as both a secondary damage dealer and as a supporting character which makes him an excellent addition to this lineup due to his ability to function in two roles at once. Because Yoimiya mostly excels at dealing damage to singular targets, Kazuha’s ability to round up many opponents at once is also a huge asset alongside her.
His battery-like abilities are also incredibly useful for allowing his teammates to rapidly regenerate energy for their abilities.
5) Yoimiya, Bennett, Venti, and Diona
Players can attain the duo Pyro buff, which will grant an overall 25 percent attack increase, by having Bennett as a supporting character alongside Yoimiya. He will also help heal her and the rest of the team when they are getting low and is overall a superb character.
Using a Cryo character like Diona will allow for the Melt elemental reaction to take place and Diona will also help by healing and shielding her allies. Lastly, Venti works as a powerful crowd-controlling unit that greatly helps solve the issues that may be presented by Yoimiya’s singular target abilities. He will also help create the Swirl elemental reaction, which is another added bonus of this team composition.
Yoimiya’s fourth banner run is part of Genshin’s Version 3.7 update and features the Pyro Bow character with an increased drop rate on her “Tapestry of Golden Flames” banner. Her banner will run from May 24 to around the middle of June.
While Yoimiya is available for players to recruit, some Travelers might also want to consider the other character receiving a rerun with is the five-star Electro Catalyst character Yae Miko. Choosing between these two five-star recruits is a tough task, but regardless of who players pick, they’ll also have a solid chance of obtaining the new four-star character Kirara.
Players hoping to recruit the Inazuman bow character should wish on her soon since after her banner run in Version 3.7 ends it will be some time before she returns as a recruitable character.
