Healing Bonus

When Yaoyao leaves the field, the additional Yueguis summoned by the Burst are removed.
To trigger the passive of Favonius Lance, you can perform Skill followed by two Normal Attacks in order.
Here are the steps to follow:

Use Yaoyao's Skill to summon Yueguis
Perform two Normal Attacks to trigger the passive of Favonius Lance

SUPPORT:
Yaoyao focuses on healing and applying Dendro with her Elemental Skill and Burst. She can be used in a wide range of team archetypes but note that her Dendro application from her Elemental Skill alone is generally insufficient for Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon teams as a solo Dendro option.
Weapon Choices:

Favonius Lance: This weapon is a good generalist option for Yaoyao, providing Energy Recharge with a useful passive.
Rightful Reward: This weapon performs worse if you are not planning to use Yaoyao's Elemental Burst.
Kitain Cross Spear: This weapon can be better than Favonius Lance in teams where Yaoyao has a significant amount of Bloom ownership.

Artifact Sets:

Deepwood Memories (4): This set is the default option in teams where you care about reducing Dendro resistance and nobody else on the team is using it.
Tenacity of the Millelith (4): This set is a good option in teams where reducing Dendro resistance is not important, such as Yaoyao, Anemo, and two Electro damage dealers (Aggravate).
Instructor (4): Similarly to Tenacity, this set can be a good option in teams where reducing Dendro resistance is not important or if someone else on the team is already using Deepwood Memories. Note that Yaoyao has to trigger a reaction on-field to provide the 4pc bonus. Additionally, your stat potential on this set will be limited as it does not come in 5* rarity.
Ocean-Hued Clam (4): This set is a good option in teams where you on-field Yaoyao and a supportive set is not needed.
Flower of Paradise Lost (4)/Gilded Dreams (4)/EM (2) set mixes: These sets are specifically for Nilou Bloom teams where Yaoyao has a significant amount of Bloom ownership and is built with Elemental Mastery. Note that Ocean-Hued Clam (4) can still be better in these teams, assuming you on-field Yaoyao.

Main Stat and Substat Choices:
In a Bloom team where Yaoyao has a significant amount of Bloom ownership, Elemental Mastery is preferred as a Main Stat on your Goblet and Circlet. Elemental Mastery can also be used on your Sands if an Energy Recharge Sands is not required. Additionally, Elemental Mastery substats become good.

"A radish a day keeps trouble away! ... Oh, this isn't about a radish's medical properties, exactly, but it does have some health benefits, yeah!"

Calls upon "Yuegui: Throwing Mode," a special device created by a certain adeptus to help Yaoyao solve her problems.
This skill will be used differently in Holding Mode.

Hold
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the throw direction.

Yuegui: Throwing Mode
Throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao's Max HP. If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.
Yuegui: Throwing Mode will choose its radish-throw targets.
·If all nearby characters have more than 70% HP remaining, then it will throw the radish at a nearby opponent.
·If nearby characters have 70% or less HP remaining, it will throw a radish at the character with the lowest HP percentage remaining. If no opponents exist nearby, Yuegui will also throw White Jade Radishes at characters if they all have more than 70% HP and less than 100% HP remaining. Otherwise, it will throw radishes into the area at random.

A maximum of 2 instances of Yuegui: Throwing Mode can exist at any one time.

Moonjade Descent

"Eh? Which one of these is actually Yuegui, you ask? Aren't they all Yuegui?"

At the enjoinment of a certain adeptus, Yuegui's full potential can be unleashed in an emergency, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents and entering an (in some sense) unsurpassed Adeptal Legacy state.

Adeptal Legacy
·White Jade Radishes generated will be changed to heal and deal DMG according to this skill. Explosions will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG instead.
·Summons "Yuegui: Jumping Mode" at intervals until their limit has been reached. The behavior of this version of Yuegui is the same as that of "Yuegui: Throwing Mode" in the Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster. A maximum of 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode can exist at any one time.
·Yaoyao's Movement SPD is increased by 15%.
·Yaoyao's Dendro RES will be increased.

The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.

When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will regain HP every 1s based on 0.8% of Yaoyao's Max HP. This effect lasts 5s.

·Restores HP for the active character based on 7.5% of Yaoyao's Max HP.

Every Yuegui: Throwing Mode can throw out a maximum of 2 Mega Radishes.
