Here's what we know about Yao Yao in Genshin Impact, including leaked abilities and an estimated release date.

Release date for Yao Yao in Genshin Impact

Yao Yao does not yet have a set release date for Genshin Impact. However, there are two key updates that could change this.

With leaks pointing to an early release of Dendro in update 2.4 , Yao Yao may be one of the first characters added with this item. Sumeru is expected to be released in update 3.0 , which will expand the Dendro cohort.

In the meantime, stay tuned for news about the release date of Yao Yao in early 2022 .

Yao Yao's abilities in Genshin Impact

Yao Yao may be one of the first Dendro Genshin Impact characters, with a character having plant vision in his play model.

However, her powers remain relatively obscure. There are no data or leaks in this department yet, but if she uses Dendro, she will be able to manipulate the battlefield like no one else (yet) in Genshin.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there is a lot of speculation that Yao Yao will be a polearm (spear) user.

This is based on speculation about Yao Yao's upbringing along with Xiang Ling and Madame Ping's tutelage. Both girls studied under the chef, and Yao Yao would probably follow Xiang Ling and become a spear user too.

Yao Yao's story in Genshin Impact

We don't know much about Yao Yao from Genshin Impact's main story. She is a former chef who gave up a life in the kitchen to become Gan Yu's assistant ⁠ instead... well, according to the adepts, she was only told to "keep an eye on [Yao Yao]".

She roams Li Yue Harbor, befriending Bei Dou ⁠—often jumping on her ship to play when it docks. As we mentioned earlier, she was also taught by Madame Ping along with Xiang Ling and is a pretty good cook.

We will update this article as more Yao Yao leaks come to Genshin Impact.
