Yaoyao is a Dendro Spear user whose design was revealed in Genshin Impact's beta back in 2020. She is going to debut in the upcoming Genshin Impact 3.4 patch, the very first patch of 2023. Apparently, Yaoyao is the long awaited Dendro healer for Bloom teams. She is going to use a polearm and will be a great unit to combo with Nilou and Nahida.

Nagadus Emerald
Nagadus Emerald is the ascension stone for all Dendro characters. Yaoyao is not an exception.
Players can get them by doing the following:
- Defeating Jadeplume Terrorshrooms or Dendro Hypostasis
- Nagadus Emerald can be randomly obtained from Chests, Daily Commissions, and Events.
- Players can convert other types of gemstone into Nagadus Emerald using Dust of Azoth, or merge lesser emeralds into higher tier ones, at a rate of 3:1.
Quelled Creeper
Quelled Creeper is a drop from the Dendro Hypostasis, a new world boss introduced in Genshin Impact 3.2. It is the last Hypostasis to be added to the game. The Dendro Hypostasis drops 2-3 pieces of these materials once it is defeated for the cost of 40 resins.
The Dendro Hypostasis is a Normal Boss challenge found in Land of Lower Setekh, Sumeru.
Yuejun Chili
Jueyun Chilis are a Local Specialty found in various areas of Liyue. Players can gather it from all over the region - just follow the below map at least 2 times to gather enough chili for fully ascending Yaoyao.
Slime Secretions
Slime Condensate, Slime Secretions, and Slime Concentrate are all dropped by Slimes, which are all over the place in Mondstadt and Liyue. There are just so many of them players can just randomly roam around without having to follow any paths.

Daka's Bell
The boss material for Yaoyao can be farmed from Scaramouche, the 3.2 weekly boss. Players will need to defeat him 18 times to max Alhaitham's talents.
Mirror of Mushin and Puppet Strings can be converted into Daka's Bell using Dream Solvent.
How strong is Yaoyao?
Gameplay
Yaoyao is a pretty straightforward character. Her Skill summons a pet that throws bombs to heal allies and damage enemies. Her Burst also summons a version of that pet, which does the same thing.
Yaoyao Gameplay
This allows Yaoyao to be a top-tier Dendro support, who can also heal. This pretty much removes the weakness of a Bloom/Hyperbloom lineup, which is the self-damage from Dendro Cores explosion.
Constellation
- C1: When White Jade Radishes explode, active characters within their AoE will gain 15% Dendro DMG Bonus for 8s and have 15 Stamina restored to them. This form of Stamina Restoration can only be triggered every 5s.
- C2: While affected by the Adeptal Legacy state caused by Moonjade Descent, if White Jade Radish explosions damage opponents, 3 Energy will be restored to Yaoyao. This form of Energy regeneration can occur once every 0.8s.
Yaoyao's constellations are also amazing - her C1 gives 15% Dendro damage bonus for teammates on top of stamina regeneration. On-field characters who use Charged Attacks like Alhaitham should be able to make use of this.
Her C2 regenerates energy massively, allowing Yaoyao to get her 80 energy cost Burst up more frequently.
