Strengths & Weakness Of Yaoyao

Strengths
- Off-Field Dendro Healer allowing her to perform 2 roles at once. - Decent healing that is enough to keep all of the members alive. - Does not need Elemental Burst to heal.
Weakness
- Elemental Burst cost is very high. - Elemental Burst requires Yaoyao to be on-field which is most of the time a DPS loss if Yaoyao has full HP, it also prioritize attacking enemies instead of healing the off-field characters. - Healing is pretty single target and is not that good at Coop.

Best	Rightful Reward	HP 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Decent HP Stat Stick. - Gives energy after healing making it an amazing weapon for Yaoyao.
1st	Black Tassel	HP 46.9% (Lvl. 90) - Great HP Stat Stick. - Effect is not that useful but can easily be refined because it is a 3 star weapon.
2nd	Staff Of Homa	CRIT DMG 66.2% (Lvl. 90) - Increases HP by 20% increasing the healing. - Its ability to increase ATK and CRIT Stats also allows the increase of DMG. - There are many characters that wants this weapon, however.
3rd	Favonius Lance	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - Great only because it provides additional energy for the team. - Does not help in increasing heals but increases up-time of Elemental Burst.

For Healer focused build, weapon that increases HP are preferred. As a stat stick, Black Tassel is the preferred weapon because of its amazing HP Stats. If you do not have HP weapons, ER weapons works great as well.

Yaoyao Dendro Reaction Weapons

	Weapon	Details
Best	Moonpiercer	Elemental Mastery 110 (Lvl. 90) - Great weapon for Dendro characters since it increases ATK and EM. - Free-to-Play but the recipe can only be obtained on later games.

3rd	Dragon's Bane	Elemental Mastery 221 (Lvl. 90) - Highest EM Sub-Stat for 4 Star Polearm. - Ability limits the teams you can use.

Elemental Burst Disappears Once Yaoyao Is Off-Field
