Healing Bonus

The extra Yuegui from Yaoyao's Burst despawn upon her swap.
With Favonius Lance, execute Skill then two Normal Attacks to proc the Energy Recharge passive.

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.
