What is the best Genshin Impact Yun Jin build?
Yun Jin is a geo support character that wields a polearm, making her the second polearm character with geo vision. We recommend using her in a team with a pyro character as the main DPS, so that you can take advantage of vaporize.
Which weapon should you use?
As Yun Jin is a fairly new character, our recommendations for the best weapon may change over time. For now, feel free to use either of the weapons mentioned below.
| Weapon | Effect |
| Staff of Homa | Yun Jin’s HP is increased by 20%, and she gains an attack bonus based on 0.8% of her max HP. When her HP falls below 50%, this attack bonus is increased by an additional 1% of max HP |
| Favonius Lance | Critical hits have a 60% chance to generate a small number of elemental particles. This regenerates six energy for Yun Jin. It can only occur once every 12 seconds |
Which artifact set should you use?
Much like her weapon choice, these sets may change over time while we get used to using Yun Jin. For now, we recommend a full set of Husk of Opulent Dreams artifacts. For an easier to find set, feel free to use the Martial Artist set.
| Artifact set | Effect |
| Husk of Opulent Dreams | Two equipped: increases defence by 30% Four equipped: Yun Jin gains the curiosity effect in the following conditions:
Curiosity can stack up to four times, each providing a 6% defence and a 6% geo damage bonus. When six seconds pass without gaining a stack, one stack is lost |
| Martial Artist | Two equipped: increases normal and charged attack damage by 15% Four equipped: after you use an elemental skill, normal and charged attack damage is increased by 25% for eight seconds |
