Yanfei is a Genshin Impact unit that focuses on her Charged Attack to deal damage. Although her attacks are much smoother compared to similar characters like Ningguang, the Law Advisor suffers from a lot of issues in her kit. For example, she's squishy, easily loses stamina when using her Charged Attack, and her Elemental Skill grants too little Energy to feed her Elemental Burst.
Luckily, some of these problems can be solved by getting Yanfei's constellations in Genshin Impact.

Are Yanfei’s Constellations Worth It In Genshin Impact?
Although all of Yanfei’s abilities boost her Charged Attacks in one way or another, she still suffers from her Stamina. Her constellations give her better Stamina management, yet, she still can’t reach a 5-star level of DPS. However, in the CN Meta, her C4 is the star of all her abilities since it grants her a decent shield that lasts long and can be obtained by just using her Elemental Burst.
C1 – The Law Knows No Kindness
- Effect: When Yanfei uses her Charged Attack, each existing Scarlet Seal additionally reduces the stamina cost of this Charged Attack by 10% and increases resistance against interruption during its release.
- Importance: Priority
C1 Yanfei improves her ability to cast Charged Attacks more frequently by lowering her Stamina requirements. It is important to have this constellation for any players wishing to use her as a Main DPS.
C2 – Right of Final Interpretation
- Effect: Increases Yanfei's Charged Attack Crit Rate by 20% against enemies below 50% HP.
- Importance: Low
Yanfei can be used as a shielder or Main DPS. In both cases, the character's C2 doesn’t offer any real benefit to her gameplay. If she is built on DPS, then she must have enough Crit Rate to always proc her attacks, and if she is built to be a shielder, she doesn’t need Crit Rate at all.
C4 – Supreme Amnesty
- Effect: When Elemental Burst is used, creates a shield that absorbs up to 45% of Yanfei's Max HP for 15s. This shield absorbs Pyro DMG 250% more effectively.
- Importance: Priority
C4 Yanfei’s effect is one of the best constellations in Genshin Impact. It transforms her from a simple character with a specific role into a diverse character that can offer so much to her team. This constellation can add up to 93% ATK to her team while shielding them. That can be done by building her with 4-Noblesse Oblige (+20% ATK), giving her Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers Catalyst (+48% ATK), and making her one-half of the Pyro Resonance (+25% ATK).
C6 – Extra Clause
- Effect: Increases the maximum number of Scarlet Seals by 1.
- Importance: Priority
Just like her first constellation, C6 Yanfei’s effect adds another Scarlet Seal, which will increase her Charged Attack damage and decrease her Stamina consumption by an extra 15%. This is highly important to maximize Yanfei’s damage.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
