Yun Jin, the Geo-wielding opera singer, will give players some great options for non-healing support role fillers in their parties in Genshin Impact. The Polearm user can create a powerful shield that will allow her to survive intense damage stages from hard-hitting enemies.

But more importantly, her Elemental Burst will add additional damage to her allies’ attacks based on her DEF. Yun Jin’s primary role is as a buffer for her team, as the role to buff Normal Attack DMG is relatively rare and unique to Yun Jin. Resultingly, Yun Jin’s role in the game is somewhat niche. However, her niche is powerful and especially strong for those who best take advantage of her strengths.

Weapons

Yun Jin’s primary strength is her Elemental Burst and the buff she provides. As a result, we’ll want to make sure that Yun Jin can reliably use her Elemental Burst after every rotation. You should choose a weapon best based on her needs as a support character.

• The Engulfing Lightning polearm provides a very high amount of Energy Recharge. The biggest drawback is the offensive passive is wasted on Yun Jin, who lacks overall damage. The Engulfing Lightning is generally best used somewhere else, but in the event that you have a spare of this weapon lying around, you can go ahead and use this weapon for Yun Jin.
• The Favonius Lance is generally the best all-around Energy Recharge weapon. The passive allows you to funnel Energy Particles to your other characters, while it also provides a good amount of Energy Recharge for Yun Jin herself.

Artifacts

Yun Jin’s best artifact set is hands down the Husk of Opulent Dreams. This will increase Yun Jin’s Defense, which in turn, will increase the strength of her Normal Attack DMG buff.

• The 4-piece Husk of Opulent Dreams is her best set, but her 4-piece passive is less important. If you are lacking Energy Recharge, then you can consider subbing in a 2-piece Emblem of Severed Fate.
• If you have enough DEF, the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige is a more general ATK buff for her teammates, making this a potentially superior option based on your stats.

Best teams for Yun Jin

Yun Jin’s buffs will work best with characters that rely on dealing Normal Attack DMG. The clear winner here is Yoimiya, whose entire kit revolves around her empowering her Normal Attacks.

• Yoimiya + Yun Jin + Xingqiu/Yelan + Zhongli: The benefits of this team are the Normal Attack DMG buff from Yun Jin, the Hydro application from Xingqiu or Yelan, and the shield from Zhongli. Consider swapping out Zhongli for both Xingqiu and Yelan.
• Ayato + Yun Jin + Kazuha + Xingqiu/Yelan: Ayato is another character who scales well with Yun Jin’s buffs, as his Elemental Skill counts as Normal Attack DMG.
