Genshin Impact 4★ Dendro Polearm Sub DPS
Symphonist of Scents is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Yaoyao's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Bloodsoaked Ruins, Lithic Spear and Skyward Spine come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Yaoyao, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Deepwood Memories on Yaoyao, with A Day Carved From Rising Winds and Disenchantment in Deep Shadow behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Dendro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Alhaitham, Xingqiu, Raiden Shogun and Yaoyao, built around Yaoyao: Dendro · Hyperbloom.
Yaoyao's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Symphonist of Scents is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Lithic Spear is the best 4-star alternative.
Deepwood Memories. Its 2-piece bonus is: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%. Its 4-piece bonus is: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro RES will be decreased by 30% for 8s. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is not on the field.
