Yao Jiayin Skill Analysis
Yao Jiayin has a very rich skill system. She can not only cause ice damage to the enemy, but also help teammates improve their elemental proficiency and create conditions for teammates’ output. When releasing skills, she can react quickly and deal high-frequency elemental damage.
1. Elemental Combat Skill: Frost and Snow Dance
Yao Jiayin’s elemental combat skill “Frost and Snow Dance” can release an ice element attack forward and cause damage to enemies on the path. If the enemy is hit, Yao Jiayin will provide a certain elemental proficiency improvement for the surrounding teammates, and it will last for a period of time. The high-frequency output of this skill can be well matched with the elemental reactions of other characters, especially fire, water, and thunder elements, to improve the overall output efficiency.
2. Elemental Burst: Ice Spirit Brilliance
Yao Jiayin’s elemental burst “Ice Spirit Brilliance” can release a powerful ice element attack in a short period of time, causing a large range of ice element damage while also providing a certain amount of ice element damage bonus to teammates. This skill can greatly improve the output capacity of the team, especially suitable for use in dungeons and world bosses.
3. Talent priority
Yao Jiayin’s talent priority should focus on improving her elemental combat skills and elemental burst. These two skills are her core output and support skills, which can significantly improve her performance in battle. Normal attack skills are not her main output method, so they can be skipped appropriately.
Recommended talent priority: elemental combat skills > elemental burst > normal attack.
Best weapon selection
As a magic weapon character, Yao Jiayin’s weapon selection is very critical. The ideal weapon can improve her elemental mastery, critical strike rate and ice element damage, thereby maximizing her output and support capabilities. The following are several weapons recommended for her:
1. Thousand Nights Floating Dream (five-star weapon)
As a five-star magic weapon, “Thousand Nights Floating Dream” provides a bonus to elemental mastery, which is very suitable for Yao Jiayin to use. Its passive skill can increase the attack power of teammates and increase elemental mastery, which makes Yao Jiayin’s support role in the team particularly prominent. She can use this weapon to provide powerful buffs to teammates and increase her own output capabilities.
Weapon highlights:
Increases elemental mastery, allowing Yao Jiayin to better trigger elemental reactions.
Passive skills provide elemental buffs to teammates and improve the overall output of the team.
2. Sacrifice Fragment (four-star weapon)
Sacrifice Fragment is a very cost-effective four-star magic weapon. Its passive skill can reset the skill cooldown after Yao Jiayin releases elemental combat skills, allowing her to use elemental combat skills more frequently, thereby providing more elemental mastery bonuses to teammates.
Weapon
Reset the cooldown of elemental combat skills, allowing Yao Jiayin to provide buffs more frequently.
