Genshin Impact: Yaoyao leak says she is a healer

Genshin Impact - Yaoyao leak - healer polearm

With her in-game model supposedly leaked back in the 1.0 patch of Genshin Impact, it has definitely been a long time since fans began expecting Yaoyao to become playable. However, the long wait might soon be over in the coming patches, as a Yaoyao leak previously mentioned her being released in Version 3.4.

For older players, it can be recalled that Yaoyao was Xiangling’s junior disciple under the same martial arts master, Madame Ping. But while Xiangling is undeniably one of the best 4-star Pyro characters in Genshin Impact, not much is known about Yaoyao except that she is supposedly a 4-star Dendro Character.

Recently, leaks suggest what she can do on the battlefield, with one Yaoyao leak saying that she can heal.

New Yaoyao leak says she can heal

This Yaoyao leak was shared by leaker Project Celestia on Twitter, saying that her Elemental Burst can heal the entire party based on her HP. Aside from this, the leaker mentioned that Yaoyao’s Elemental Skill and Burst have similar placement mechanics to Itto’s Elemental Skill, where he summons Ushi.

[Data] [Yaoyao]
Her skill is coded as “Turnip” and her burst is coded as “Rabbit”.
Both her skill and her burst reference the same throwing mechanics as Itto’s Ushi (likely placeholder). Her burst, currently, heals all party members based on her max HP. #ProjectCelestia

Based on the leak, Yaoyao does scream Dendro. As for her weapon, it has long been rumored that she was going to be a catalyst user. However, newer leaks say that she will be a polearm user instead. One of those who shared this information was leaker SaveYourPrimos, saying:

(Speculation) It appears a number of things were updated in this most recent leaked build (about a month old), including Yaoyao’s switch from Catalyst to Polearm and Alhaitham’s release timeline.

While this Yaoyao leak of her wielding the polearm can be considered mere speculation, it does make sense. Again, just like Xiangling, Yaoyao was taught martial arts by Madame Ping.

Still, these details have not been officially confirmed yet. As Project Celestia added in their tweet, “this is exceptionally early and very much subject to change.”
