Yaoyao
Who is Yaoyao?
Yaoyao is a 4★ Dendro Polearm healer who debuted in Version 3.4. She is a disciple of the Adeptus Streetward Rambler (Madame Ping) and the first playable Dendro character in the game. Her Elemental Skill summons Yuegui, a yellow rabbit-like Adeptus device that throws White Jade Radishes — healing party members when they are hurt and dealing Dendro damage to enemies. She is one of the best affordable Dendro healers for Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Quicken teams. Source: https://keqingmains.com/yaoyao/
Kit Summary
Standard polearm strikes; rarely prioritised.
Summons Yuegui who automatically throws White Jade Radishes: radishes thrown at hurt party members heal based on Yaoyao's Max HP; radishes that hit enemies deal Dendro damage. Yuegui stays on field for 6 seconds and re-casts while Yaoyao is off-field.
Yaoyao enters a charged state — she releases radishes at enemies and team members simultaneously while running, with greatly increased healing and Dendro application for 5 seconds.

Kitain Cross Spear (craftable from Inazuma forge) is excellent in Nilou Bloom for its EM and Energy self-restoration.
Black Tassel (3★, available from shops) gives the highest HP% secondary of any 3-star and works for pure healing focus.
She does not need high constellation investment — C0 is fully functional. Build toward HP% main stats and ER substats. Source: https://keqingmains.com/yaoyao/
