Below you can see the best team composition for Yaoyao with Main DPS and 2 Sub DPS characters. Also, we have included alternative characters for each role that go well with Yaoyao too.
Choose the Sub-DPS based on the Main DPS that you are gonna use. Characters that react well with Dendro or Dendro characters can work well as a main DPS with a Dendro healer.
Yaoyao can be an off-field Dendro and healer. Cyno works well with any off-field Dendro because he needs reactions. Fischl is for energy regeneration of the party, off-field damage and triggering Quicken reactions. Nahida for Elemental Resonance and deals Dendro DMG to them while triggering elemental reactions.
Good characters for this comp: Kamisato Ayato, Tighnari, Keqing, Yelan, Nilou, Raiden Shogun, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Collei.

Toss ‘N’ Turn Spear
Normal Attack
Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Raphanus Sky Cluster
Elemental Skill
Calls upon “Yuegui: Throwing Mode,” a special device created by a certain adeptus to help Yaoyao solve her problems. This skill will be used differently in Holding Mode.
Hold:
Enters Aiming Mode to adjust the throw direction.
Yuegui: Throwing Mode
Throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao’s Max HP. If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.
Yuegui: Throwing Mode will choose its radish-throw targets.
If all nearby characters have more than 70% HP remaining, then it will throw the radish at a nearby opponent.
If nearby characters have 70% or less HP remaining, it will throw a radish at the character with the lowest HP percentage remaining. If no opponents exist nearby, Yuegui will throw White Jade Radishes at characters even if they all have more than 70% HP remaining.
A maximum of 2 instances Yuegui: Throwing Mode can exist at any one time.
Moonjade Descent
Elemental Burst
At the enjoinment of a certain adeptus, Yuegui’s full potential can be unleashed in an emergency, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents and entering an (in some sense) unsurpassed Adeptal Legacy state.
Adeptal Legacy
White Jade Radishes generated will be changed to heal and deal DMG according to this skill. Explosions will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG instead.
Summons “Yuegui: Jumping Mode” at intervals until their limit has been reached. The behavior of this version of Yuegui is the same as that of “Yuegui: Throwing Mode” in the Elemental Skill, Raphanus Sky Cluster. A maximum of 3 Yuegui: Jumping Mode can exist at any one time.
Yaoyao’s Movement SPD is increased by 15%.
Yaoyao’s Dendro RES will be increased.
The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.
