Live in the current event? Yale is your ticket to 400+ FREE damage and zero sanity headaches. Let’s break down why this airborne bomber is melting the hardest content right now.
Who Is Yale Oliver?
- Element: Pyro
- Weapon: Catalyst (drops bombs from the sky)
- Rarity: Limited (Nocturnal Echoes only – 3 pulls/week max)
- Playstyle: 100% skill damage, zero crits, must stay airborne for max output
Bottom line: If you love Genshin’s Klee but hate babysitting her, Yale is your grown-up version.
Why He’s Broken Right Now (Echoes of Missteps Event)
- +400 flat damage to all Pyro & Anemo attacks
- Stacks with Yale’s bomb passive (extra 35% skill DMG when 2+ meters off ground)
- Result? Single bomb = 45k+ on floor 1 Immortal Repertoire (shown live)
How to Get Yale (Don’t Sleep on This)
- Unlock Nocturnal Echoes (Account Level 30)
- Farm 3 Echo Shards/week (dailies + events)
- Pull in the limited Yale pool – pity carries over
- Guaranteed in 180 pulls (60 weeks worst case, but most hit early)
Best Weapons (Skip Crit, Go Skill DMG)
| Weapon | Why It Slaps | How to Get |
|---|---|---|
| Wayne Wraith (5★) | +48% Skill DMG, +30% bomb radius | Standard banner |
| Express Duo (4★) | +35% Skill DMG, +20% move speed mid-air | Battle Pass Lvl 51 |
| F2P: Solar Pearl | +28% Skill DMG after normal attack | Pro tip: Helix jump → normal → skill combo |
Crit Rate/DMG = wasted stats. Yale cannot crit (confirmed in patch notes).
Demon Wedge Setup (Copy-Paste This)
Main Slot: Typhen’s Prime Serenity
- +180 ATK
- +2 Sanity/sec
- -15% Sanity cost on skill
Sub Slots:
- Pyro Attack +12%
- Skill DMG +18%
- Sanity on Dodge +3
Total: 0 sanity loss in 20-second rotation (demo’d live)
God-Tier Team Comp (F2P Friendly)
| Slot | Character | Role |
|---|---|---|
| On-Field | Yale | Bomb spam |
| Sub-DPS | Lynn (off-field) | +25% Pyro DMG buff |
| Buffer | Margie (off-field) | +200 ATK team-wide |
| Healer/Shielder | Barbara or Diona | Sanity regen + survival |
Swap Lynn for Psyche if you need swirl for an extra 400 event damage.
Rotation (12-Second Burst Window)
- Margie E → Lynn Q (buffs)
- Helix jump (hold jump + dash mid-air) → Yale 2m+ height
- Skill ×3 → drop 9 bombs
- Ultimate → freeze bombs in air
- Normal attack → detonate all 9 = 250k+ total
Repeat. Zero downtime.
Sanity Management 101
- Skill cost: 8 sanity/base
- Typhen wedge: -15% → 6.8 cost
- Passive regen: +1/sec airborne
- Dodge regen: +3 per dodge → Net positive sanity even when spamming
Proof He Clears Endgame (Live Clear – Floor 1 Immortal Repertoire)
- Yale Lvl 70, Weapon Lvl 80
- No 5★ wedges
- 0 deaths, 0 sanity potions
- Clear time: 1:42
Watch the bombs freeze → detonate → the screen goes BOOM.
Future-Proofing: Will He Fall Off?
- The next patch rumored to have a hydro/electro focus
- Yale is still a top-3 skill DPS thanks to:
- Permanent bomb scaling
- No reliance on crit
- Insane AoE for future abyss-style modes
Verdict: Safe long-term investment.
TL;DR—Should You Pull?
YES.
- Event ends soon (grab the +400 damage while it lasts)
- Only 3 pulls/week – start farming Echo Shards today
- F2P? Express Duo + Typhen wedge = 90% of BIS power
