Weapons
CRIT DMG
High CRIT Rate from the weapon effect helps reach the skewed 3:4 ratio while also boosting ATK, making it a straightforward stat stick for reaction damage.
CRIT DMG
Provides CRIT DMG and enhances Normal and Charged Attacks, letting each Vaporize hit harder, especially when weaving charged attacks.
CRIT Rate
Offers CRIT Rate and a skill-triggered ATK buff, matching the frequent Skill casts to keep Vaporize damage consistent.
CRIT DMG
Adds Elemental Mastery and a reaction-boosting effect, making it a strong four-star option for increasing Vaporize multipliers.
CRIT DMG
Grants ATK% and elemental damage bonus, providing a reliable all-around boost without complicating rotation timings.
Elemental Mastery
Pushes Elemental Mastery extremely high and further amplifies damage after triggering reactions, turning every Vaporize hit into a nuke.
Elemental Mastery
Gives Energy Recharge and a burst damage bonus, helping maintain Burst uptime for continuous hydro-applied windows.
ATK%
A craftable with ATK% and a skill-boost effect after casting Skill, ideal for rhythm-based rotations that favor quick skill spam.
CRIT DMG
Randomly provides Elemental Mastery, ATK%, or elemental damage, occasionally spiking Vaporize damage; best when swapped in for short bursts.
CRIT DMG
Delivers a balanced ATK% and CRIT DMG boost, serving as a decent free-to-play fallback that still improves base damage.
Artifacts
Increases Pyro damage and boosts Vaporize by 15%. Using Skill adds a stacking 7.5% Pyro bonus, rewarding frequent skill casts.
Provides up to 230 Elemental Mastery or 14% ATK depending on party elements, scaling reaction damage substantially in a reaction-focused team.
Adds 80 Elemental Mastery and boosts Charged Attack damage by 35%, ideal if the rotation relies on heavy charged attack hits.
Increases Pyro damage and boosts Vaporize by 15%. Using Skill adds a stacking 7.5% Pyro bonus, rewarding frequent skill casts.
Raises CRIT Rate by up to 36% when HP changes, especially potent with a Hydro teammate or self-HP drain, helping hit the skewed CRIT target easily.

Recommended Primary Stats
Yanfei's A4 triggers extra
Yanfei Pyro DPS calculations assume Bennett. She is a Charged Attack damage dealer using a stack mechanic to increase Charged Attack damage. Typically N2C is the optimal combo, especially during Burst. With two Hydro characters, this enables consistent Vaporize. With only one Hydro, N3C may be better.
Thanks to Speify for calculations!
Weapon choices:
Reliquary of Truth: Assume passive gives 80 Elemental Mastery.
Dawning Frost: Calculated with passive always active. At [R5], performs as well as Tome of the Eternal Flow.
Tome of the Eternal Flow, Surf's Up, and Cashflow Supervision: Calculated with reliable stacking (e.g., with Furina). Without reliable stacking, they perform worse than Flowing Purity [R5].
Flowing Purity: Calculated with BoL cleared. Loses significant value without a consistent healer.
The Widsith: At [R5], performs as well as Cashflow Supervision.
Starcaller's Watch: Ranks similarly to A Thousand Floating Dreams if Yanfei is [C4+].
Artifact sets:
Marechaussee Hunter (4): BiS set when used with Furina.
Artifact substat priority:
Some teams prioritize Energy Recharge over Elemental Mastery to enable Burst every rotation. Otherwise, Energy Recharge can be ignored.
SHIELD SUPPORT
This playstyle uses Yanfei as a primary shielder via her 4th Constellation. Due to needing Burst off cooldown, this build has high Energy Recharge requirements.
