Best weapon for Yanfei, calculated
Cashflow Supervision tops the weapon calc for Yanfei at 44,747 average damage on Charged Attack. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each catalyst equipped on a Lv90 Yanfei at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Yanfei calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.

Yanfei build questions, answered
What does Yanfei scale off?
Yanfei's Charged Attack scales off total ATK — character base ATK plus weapon base ATK, then (1 + ATK%) and flat ATK on top. A weapon’s base ATK line therefore feeds this character directly.
What stat does Yanfei get from ascension?
Yanfei's ascension substat is DMG Bonus. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Yanfei?
Ranked by computed Charged Attack damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, Cashflow Supervision is the strongest catalyst for Yanfei at 44,747 average damage per hit. The The Widsith used by this page's preset panel averages 32,310, 27.8% behind it.
What artifacts should Yanfei use?
Crimson Witch of Flames (4) is the set this calculator presets Yanfei with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Yanfei do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Yanfei's largest single hit averages 32,310 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Yanfei's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Yanfei still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
