Team Compositions
Yun Jin can act as a great support character to her team. She can give bonus damage to her team while offering Geo Elemental damage.
Yoimiya Support Team
One of the best characters for Yun Jin is Yoimiya. Yoimiya relies heavily on her normal attacks, and Yun Jin can increase Yoimiya’s normal attack damage. Yoimiya will be your main DPS and Xingqiu will be your enabler that can trigger the Vaporize elemental reaction. Yun Jin will be your support and Bennett will be your main healer for your team. Having two Pyro characters in your team will also increase your overall attack.
Geo Resonance
Yun Jin may be a powerful support character due to her bonus damage buff, but she is not primarily a shielder. Pairing her with powerful shielder characters like Zhongli can give her Geo Resonance and protect her allies. Tartaglia will be your main DPS for this team because Yun Jin can increase the overall damage of Tartaglia’s normal attack as well. You can add another support character like Bennett to act as your healer.
Physical Damage Team
Yun Jin is also great with physical damage characters like Eula or Razor. They will act as your main DPS and Yun Jin will be your elemental support. Add characters like Fischl, Kujou Sara, or the Raiden Shogun for some extra Energy Recharge. You can also choose Noelle as your sub DPS and healer instead because she can provide healing and extra defense for your team.
Summary
Yun Jin is a Geo support character that can boost the damage of your other party members due to her elemental burst. Once you unlock her passive, try practicing your timings when it comes to using her elemental skill to get the maximum damage.She compliments characters like Yoimiya and Tartaglia well because they rely heavily on their normal attacks.
