Update 1.5 for Genshin Impact has added new playable characters to the game. Among them is Yan Fei, the four-star fire magician (Pyro). In this guide, we will tell you everything you need to know about this heroine.

How to get Yan Fei

You can summon the heroine with the help of a temporary prayer "Mountains and markets". In addition to Yan Fei, with a high chance you can summon the five-star hero Zhong Li, the four-star Diona and Noelle, as well as 17 previously available characters.

Yan Fei's active talents

• Seal of approval (normal attack). A spell that deals fire damage. For each hit on an enemy, you will receive one Crimson Seal. The charged attack deals a powerful blow to the area in front of your character, but it expends stamina and all crimson seals. The more you have, the higher the damage. In addition, you can cast this spell while in the air. In this case, you will also inflict area damage.
• Signed Decree (Elemental Skill). An attack that attacks all opponents that are near your target. If you successfully hit an enemy, you will receive 3 Crimson Seals.
• Hand (explosion of the elements). A stream of fire that inflicts huge damage on all enemies in the affected area. When you hit an enemy, you will replenish the supply of crimson seals to the maximum and your heroine will be given the effect of "Shine" for 15 seconds. Thanks to it, the damage from charged attacks will increase and you will receive one seal per second. If you change characters and die, the effect will disappear.

Note that the crimson seals available for use float in the air next to Yan Fei

Best weapon and artifact build for Yan Fei

Yan Fei is a heroine who relies on strong fire magic. You need to pump first of all the attack, the mastery of the elements, the bonus to fire damage, as well as the chance of critical damage and its power.

As a weapon, it is better to use the Sky Atlas, which has a 12% bonus to elemental damage and a 50% chance to deal 160% additional damage after hitting an enemy with a normal attack. An alternative option is to equip the Prayer to the Holy Winds, which increases elemental damage by 8% every 4 seconds, and also increases movement speed. Both weapons can be obtained through prayers.

From artifacts, it is worth taking the Wandering Ensemble set, which increases elemental mastery by 80 units and increases the power of charged attacks by 35% when using a catalyst. An alternative option is the Burning Scarlet Witch, which increases fire damage by 15% and improves Burning efficiency by 40%, and using an elemental skill increases the bonuses of a set of items by 50% for 10 seconds. Also look out for the Blood Knight with his 25% physical damage increase and a 50% bonus to charged attacks after defeating an opponent.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Yan Fei

Benefits:

• high damage;
• permanent application of the effect of burning to opponents;
• the ability to frequently use charged attacks;
• high combat dynamics (using seals that reduce stamina costs);
• the presence of a shield (if there is a constellation "Security letter");
• simplifying the search for resources on the map, thanks to the "Encyclopedic knowledge" skill.

Disadvantages:

• Low level of health and protection.
• Inability to use Yan Fei as a support hero.

How to play as Yan Fei. What heroes work well on a team with Yan Fei

In battles, the main focus is on charged attacks. They will consume crimson seals, so their supply must be constantly replenished. Optimal tactics for fighting for Yan Fei:

1. Use Basic Attacks and Elemental Skill (Signed Decree) to charge the Elemental Blast (Hand).
2. Apply a Charged Attack and use up the Crimson Seals.
3. Activate elemental ability (Signed Decree).
4. Use charged attack.
5. Apply Elemental Blast (Hand).
6. Re-activate elemental skill (Signed Decree).
7. Apply charged attack again.

Thus, if you alternate charged attacks, elemental skills and elemental explosions, you will inflict maximum damage on the enemy. Due to the fact that Yan Fei constantly sets fire to opponents, you can supplement her with heroes, for example, with ice (Cryo) and water (Hydro) elements. In this case, you will be able to induce the vaping and melting reactions. In addition, you need support heroes who can apply shields. For example, thanks to the heroes with the element of earth (Geo), you will be able to cause the effect of crystallization. Thanks to her, crystals will appear on the battlefield, with the help of which you can defend against enemy attacks. Ideally, your team should look like this:

• Yan Fei;
• Gan Yu, Rosary or Qiqi (Cryo characters);
• Mona, Tartaglia or Barbara (Hydro Characters);
• Zhong Li, Albedo or Ning Guang (Geo Characters).

If you do not have exactly these heroes, you can replace them with similar ones.
