Craftable Energy Recharge spear that boosts Burst healing after using Skill. Complements her cycle.
Elemental Mastery
Provides Energy Recharge and team Elemental Mastery after triggering Burning/Quickened reactions. Supportive but requires reaction setup.
Elemental Mastery

Artifacts
4pc shreds Dendro RES by 30% when Skill or Burst hits, enabling Spread/Aggravate teams. Healing remains strong.
2pc increases HP, boosting healing. 4pc buffs party ATK by 20% and shields strength (if any) when Skill hits. Consistent uptime.
4pc grants 120 Elemental Mastery to whole team after triggering a reaction. Excellent for reaction-heavy comps; only 4-star set but low investment.
4pc converts healing into physical bubble damage, adding off-field DPS. Works well with Yaoyao's high healing output.
4pc increases healing effectiveness by 20%, and Skill/Burst heal further boosts party healing received. Pure healing focus.
2pc from Maiden Beloved for +15% Healing Bonus. Combine with 2pc HP set for balanced healing stats.
4pc increases Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon damage by 40% and further by 10% per stack. Ideal in Dendro reaction cores if she triggers.
4pc grants Elemental Mastery or ATK based on team composition. Boosts reaction damage but does not improve healing.
2pc provides +80 Elemental Mastery. Best combined with another 2pc EM or 2pc ER/HP for reaction support.

The extra Yuegui from Yaoyao's
With Favonius Lance, execute
SUPPORT: Yaoyao focuses on healing and applying Dendro with her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst. Her Elemental Skill alone provides insufficient Dendro application for Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon teams as a solo Dendro option.
Weapon Choices:
- Favonius Lance: A good generalist option providing Energy Recharge with a useful passive.
- Rightful Reward: Performs worse if not using her Elemental Burst.
- Kitain Cross Spear: Can surpass Favonius Lance in teams where she has significant Bloom ownership.
Artifact Sets:
- Deepwood Memories (4): Default when reducing Dendro resistance is needed and no one else holds it.
- Tenacity of the Millelith (4): Good when reducing Dendro resistance is unimportant, e.g., Yaoyao, Anemo, two Electro damage dealers (Aggravate).
- Instructor (4): Similarly useful if another teammate already carries Deepwood Memories. Note: Yaoyao must trigger a reaction on-field for the 4pc bonus; limited to 4★ stats.
- Ocean-Hued Clam (4): Ideal when on-fielding Yaoyao and a supportive set is unnecessary.
- Flower of Paradise Lost (4) / Gilded Dreams (4) / Elemental Mastery (2) mixes: Specifically for Nilou Bloom teams where she has high Bloom ownership and built with Elemental Mastery. However, Ocean-Hued Clam (4) may still outperform when on-fielding.
Main Stat and Substat Choices:
In Bloom teams with significant ownership, prioritize Elemental Mastery on Goblet and Circlet. Sands can use Elemental Mastery if Energy Recharge is not needed. Elemental Mastery substats become valuable.
