The Best Polearm For Yun Jin In Genshin Impact
Yun Jin ultimately requires only two stats to perfectly operate as a Support in Genshin Impact. DEF% to boost her team’s Normal attacks and Energy Recharge% to be able to cast her Elemental Burst more often. She doesn’t need a buff for any of her skills or any kind of support. So, since there are no Polearms with DEF% secondary stats, the only go-to weapon for Yun Jin are the ones with Energy Recharge stats.
Skyward Spine
Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 36. 8% Energy Recharge Effect: Increases CRIT Rate by 8% and increases Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Additionally, Normal and Charged Attacks hits on opponents have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% of ATK as DMG in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every 2s.
Skyward Spine grants Yun Jin around 36% Energy Recharge, which is a good buff. However, other than that, this Polearm doesn’t offer anything else. Yun Jin’s Elemental Burst deals no damage, so relying on Skyward Spine’s high Base ATK just for her Skill is practically useless.
Prototype Starglitter
Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 45. 9% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: After using an Elemental Skill, increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 16% for 12s. Max 2 stacks.
Prototype Starglitter also doesn’t offer anything for Yun Jin’s kit but boosting her Energy Recharge. A 45% increase puts Prototype above Skyward in ranking. Additionally, if players don’t own any ER Polearms, Prototype Starglitter is a F2P forgeable weapon in Genshin Impact.
The Catch
Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 45. 9% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 32% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 12%.
Same with Prototype Starglitter, The Catch provides a decent Energy Recharge boost for Yun Jin with a better passive. The passive is useless for Yun Jin as her Burst deals no damage, but since The Catch is generally a great weapon, getting it for other characters would be a great investment.
Engulfing Lightning
Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 55. 1% Energy Recharge Effect: ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.
In terms of DMG and Energy Recharge enhancement, Engulfing Lightning wins easily over any other Polearm. But, considering there are a lot of other characters that can fully benefit from the massive amount of DMG Engulfing Lightning offers, Yun Jin is a bad choice to wield it.
Favonius Lance
Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK Secondary Stats: 30. 6% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: CRIT Hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
Favonius weapons in Genshin Impact are easy-to-get weapons that fit perfectly in the hands of Supportive characters. Yun Jin isn’t a stranger to this concept, since she too can only operate as a buffer. Favonius Lance grants Yun Jin some Energy Recharge alongside some particles that will regenerate her and her team’s Bursts. The only catch is that players need to have enough Crit Rate on Yun Jin to trigger this effect when she hits an enemy.
