VAPORIZE DPS Build

Weapons

1
Reliquary of Truth
Reliquary of Truth

CRIT DMG

Highest ceiling here — a CRIT substat plus a damage-boosting passive means every Vaporize Charged Attack lands harder. Take it if the passive condition fits your rotation.

2
Tome of the Eternal Flow
Tome of the Eternal Flow

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat plus an HP-scaling passive that also lifts Charged Attack damage; the HP trigger fires naturally in any team that takes chip damage.

3
Cashflow Supervision
Cashflow Supervision

CRIT Rate

Bundles flat ATK with Charged Attack DMG in one passive that activates whenever current HP changes — easy uptime in healing or HP-draining comps.

4
Vivid Notions
Vivid Notions

CRIT DMG

Heavy ATK stacking behind a CRIT-friendly substat, which takes pressure off artifacts while you chase the 3:4 ratio.

5
Surf's Up
Surf's Up

CRIT DMG

Consistent filler: the passive adds damage every rotation without HP, Energy, or team-composition requirements.

6
A Thousand Floating Dreams
A Thousand Floating Dreams

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat multiplies Vaporize damage directly, and the passive shares more Elemental Mastery with the team. Best reaction-focused pick.

7
Starcaller's Watch
Starcaller's Watch

Elemental Mastery

High base ATK with a passive that scales damage over the course of a fight — a middle ground between raw stats and reaction damage.

8
Flowing Purity
Flowing PurityR5

ATK%

Craftable: ATK% substat and an Elemental DMG bonus gated behind Skill use, which you already cast every rotation, so uptime is effectively permanent.

9
The Widsith
The Widsith

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat with a random buff — the Elemental Mastery roll is the jackpot for Vaporize, and the ATK roll is still usable.

10
Dawning Frost
Dawning Frost

CRIT DMG

CRIT-oriented stat line; worth running if its passive condition lines up with your rotation better than the pure ATK options.

Artifacts

4pc adds <pyro>Pyro</pyro> DMG and a flat boost to Vaporize multipliers, plus Skill cooldown relief — the reaction-specific ceiling for this build.

Elemental Mastery 2pc plus an ATK bonus converted from EM; with two same-aligned allies the 4pc buff stays up almost permanently.

2pc Elemental Mastery plus a clean +35% Charged Attack DMG on 4pc — the most direct buff to a Charged-Attack-only rotation.

4pc adds <pyro>Pyro</pyro> DMG and a flat boost to Vaporize multipliers, plus Skill cooldown relief — the reaction-specific ceiling for this build.

4pc stacks toward +36% CRIT Rate while HP changes — the easiest route to a functioning 3:4 ratio without perfect CRIT Rate substats.

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Yanfei's A4 requires a CRIT Hit to trigger, so aim for a CRIT Ratio of 3:4 or 3:5 rather than the usual 1:2.

DPS — calculations assume Bennett.
Yanfei is a Charged Attack DPS whose normal-attack stacks raise Charged Attack damage.
N2C maximizes damage, especially during her Burst state.
Two Hydro units → consistent Vaporize; with only one, N3C may be better.
Calculations by Speify.

Weapons:
Reliquary of Truth: assumes 80 Elemental Mastery from the passive.
Dawning Frost: passive always active; [R5] matches Tome of the Eternal Flow.
Tome of the Eternal Flow / Surf's Up / Cashflow Supervision: calculated with reliable stacking (e.g. Furina); without it they trail Flowing Purity [R5].
Flowing Purity: assumes Bond of Life cleared; loses value without a consistent healer.
The Widsith [R5]: matches Cashflow Supervision.
Starcaller's Watch: similar to A Thousand Floating Dreams at [C4+].

Artifacts:
Marechaussee Hunter (4): BiS with Furina.
Substats: take Energy Recharge over Elemental Mastery only if it secures a Burst each rotation; otherwise ignore ER.

SHIELD SUPPORT: built around her [C4] shield; bursting off cooldown means high energy needs.
