Is Yanfei worth building?

Yanfei is a clean, comfortable 4-star Pyro DPS, especially good for newer players who want a safe ranged carry. Her power isn't top-tier and leans heavily on chaining charged attacks, but paired into a Vaporize team with Xingqiu her damage is very consistent. What she needs most is a Hydro unit to trigger Vaporize and Bennett for the ATK buff. For the weapon, the craftable 4-star Mappa Mare is a solid free pick; farm Crimson Witch of Flames and prioritize CRIT, then a Pyro DMG goblet.

Each Scarlet Seal will decrease Yanfei's Stamina consumption and will disappear when she leaves the field.

Opponents hit by the flames will grant Yanfei the maximum number of Scarlet Seals.

Apart from their legal uses, Yanfei's seals also come with her customized additional terms and conditions. Well, it's not as if the Ministry of Civil Affairs can change the laws of nature.
