Yanfei shines in long enough fights thanks to his constant generation of Scarlet Seals. It thus takes full advantage of being present in the field, making its Azure Vault Atlas. But it also accommodates less powerful catalysts that can give it another dimension. There Malice (Prototype) is then an effective alternative to offer a little healing to its allies. THE Memories of rituals are also possible to support the Divine Eye of Yanfei.

Despite his low base damage, Yanfei takes advantage of his skills and Scarlet Seals to bolster his assaults. Once level 6 has been reached on his skills, it is therefore time to make choices. To make the most of his unique style of play, it is important to focus on the Burning Seal to boost attack damage. Next comes theEnforcement of sentences to take full advantage of the Brilliance state and the bonuses it offers. THE pact of flames, even if it is very interesting, keeps its usefulness whatever its level.
How to play Yanfei?
Yanfei's goal in Genshin Impact with his build is to capitalize on his Scarlet Seals by staying in the field as long as possible. It is thus possible to reinforce its assaults over the course of the fight, in particular thanks to theEnforcement of sentences. But the pact of flames is also a very important tool to generate seals easily.
Yanfei is a very special character who benefits from his own mechanics. She takes full advantage of it by staying on the field for a long time, but can easily give up her place after exhausting her Shine.
