Should You Pull?YES

Yun Jin is a 4-star Geo user from Genshin Impact who utilizes a Polearm and specializes in enhancing teammate's Normal Attack damage. Opening Flourish deals a simple Geo DMG strike. Yun Jin is worth pulling if you want Opening Flourish on the account. Yun Jin's best Geo Support showings still ask for a coherent team, not a random four-slot fill.

She also has a defensive Elemental Skill, Opening Flourish. This Elemental Skill can parry attacks and provided a limited shield to Yun Jin.

Strengths

  • Opening Flourish deals a simple Geo DMG strike.
  • Cliffbreaker's Banner deals AoE Geo DMG and grants a buff to all allies Normal Attacks based on Yun Jin's current DEF.
  • Does the Support job with clear Geo identity rather than vague flex value.
  • Posts B-tier Spiral Abyss and B in Imaginary Theater on our content ratings strip.

Weaknesses

  • Without key constellations, some of the kit's advertised comfort is missing.
  • Yun Jin's best Geo Support showings still ask for a coherent team, not a random four-slot fill.

Talent Priority

1
Elemental BurstPriority: Max (10)

For Yun Jin, Elemental Burst is the kit's main payoff — level this first toward 10.

2
Elemental SkillPriority: High (8-10)

On Yun Jin, Elemental Skill is the second stop — take it to 8–10 once the primary talent is online.

3
Normal AttackPriority: Low (1-6)

Park Yun Jin's Normal Attack last (or skip). Resources are better spent on Skill/Burst breakpoints.

This Noelle Hypercarry team combination uses Yun Jin and Bennett's buffing abilities to focus on Noelle's primary attack with her Claymore. The synergy here between Yun Jin and Noelle's large, slow, AoE attacks is almost perfect with 30 attacks available between each rotation. We have added Fischl supporting off-field DMG with her Electro attacks.
