Yae Miko is a 5-star Electro character that wields a catalyst weapon. She is the shrine maiden (Guuji) of the Grand Narukami Shrine and also the Editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House in Inazuma region.

Miko is a powerful yokai who excels as an Off-Field Electro Sub-DPS. Her Elemental Skill, which summons fox-like totems called Sesshou Sakura, provides continuous Electro application, making it perfect for reaction-based teams such as Stellar-Conduct or Overload. Her Elemental Burst also deals an decent chunk of damage, but comes with an expensive Energy cost.

What Kind of Character Is Yae Miko?

Yae Miko is an Electro Off-Field DPS whose main appeal is her Electro damage contribution through the Sesshou Sakura that her Skill summons.. She has a variety of team options to choose from, but she is typically going to be favored in Overload, Electro or Lunar-Charged, Dendro-related teams and, following the buffs, in Stellar-Conduct teams as well.

Her place in the meta previously wasn't very good, since there are a lot of other Sub-DPS characters who can fill her niches, often with similar or better results. However, the introduction of Stellar-Conduct gave her the ability to contest for a spot alongside the top meta teams.

Roles & Playstyle Of Yae Miko and Her Strengths and Weakness

Electro Off-Field Sub-DPS

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

Yae Miko is usually considered a Sub-DPS since she can deal damage from an Off-Field position once you deploy her Skill three times. After her buffs, Miko's best use-case is now in in Stellar-Conduct teams (Electro and Cryo) alongside Sandrone, but she can still be played in an Electrocharged (Hydro and Electro), Overload (Electro and Pyro) and Aggravate or Spread (Dendro and Electro) comps.

Pros and Cons of Off-Field Sub-DPS Yae Miko

Pros
- Easy to play.
- Random targeting makes her viable in both single- and multi-target scenarios.
- Her Burst can be used every other rotation instead of every rotation, so Energy Recharge doesn't have to be a heavy focus on her Artifacts.
Cons
- Her Skill setup is time-consuming, and she can be interrupted mid-animation.
- Fischl can deal comparable damage in non-Stellar-Conduct teams, with less field-time commitment.
- Miko's Burst deals a lot of damage, but the high Energy Cost makes it hard to have it up consistently without sacrificing offensive stats on her Artifacts.

Best Build for Yae Miko

Yae Miko's usual best comps involve her being deployed as an Off-Field Sub-DPS. She will want to be supplied with the typical damage stats, like CRIT, to maximize her DPS contribution. See below for our top recommendations.

110-130% (with another Electro teammate)
200%~ (without another Electro teammate)

When used as an Off-Field Sub-DPS, Miko needs high Energy Recharge% to Burst consistently. The required ER depends on other Electro teammates and Favonius weapon users. Without either, her ER needs tend to be really high. You can also prioritize Skill damage instead and only Burst when it's available every other rotation or completely ignore it.

Stellar-Conduct Yae Miko will always prefer to have the Deep Shadow set.

Best Weapon for Yae Miko

Yae Miko naturally favors offensive catalysts due to being a damage-type character. CRIT and DMG% weapons are preferable, but you can make do with ones that offer ATK%. See below for our top recommendations:

- A close second option for Miko across a lot of her team setups thanks to the amount of CRIT value it provides.

- Miko still has use for ATK% buffs regardless of comp, but its especially good in her Stellar-Conduct teams.

- Both will result in about the same performance.
- Lost Prayer can make reaching the desired CRIT Ratio easier, but the passive isn't very strong for Miko.
- Atlas gives easy access to a modest ATK% and DMG% buff but has no CRIT, so you will need to rely on your Artifact rolls.
6thA Thousand Floating DreamsA Thousand Floating DreamsGet from Limited Banner
- This weapon are decent for teams that focus on heavily EM-based reactions like Aggravate and Hyperbloom, due to the Elemental Mastery buff.
- Going to be less desirable in other team comps.
- EM isn't a high priority for Stellar-Conduct teams so the passive isn't very impactful.
- A decent option if you have it, but not worth the pulls if you want to get it solely for Miko.
7thThe WidsithThe Widsith
Solar PearlSolar Pearl
Get from Banners
- CRIT main stats can help reach the ideal CRIT Ratio easier.
- 4-star options that can be good on Miko if you have them and no other limited 5-star option.
- Miko can make use of all of Widsith's buffs, but the uptime is always an issue with it.
- Solar Pearl requires you to do a Normal Attack (after skill and before Burst).
- The Widsith should be her strongest 4-star option even in Stellar-Conduct teams (despite Stellar-Conduct DMG not being buffed by DMG% buffs).
- Both are best at Refinement Level 5 (R5).

Her Signature Weapon is designed to have everything her kit wants, so it is always going to be her best option. The alternative premium options will still be competitive with each other, however, so use whichever you have, keeping in mind to balance her CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG at a 1:2 ratio if possible.

Golden Troupe (Skill DMG)
Thundering Fury (Electro DMG%)
Emblem of Severed Fate (ER).
- 2-piece sets with very good sub-stats can be as good as 4-piece sets with mediocre stat lineups.
- Stellar-Conduct teams would prefer ATK% sets over other 2-piece effects.

Focus On Offensive Stats

To use Yae Miko's Elemental Burst frequently, you would need to build enough Energy Recharge% (ER). Consistent uptime is hard if she's the only Electro on the team, so consider your teammates. Burst adds to total DPS, but if you find getting enough ER a problem, then you can instead focus on her Elemental Skill, either casting her Burst every other rotation or skipping it entirely.

This allows you more room for damage-increasing stats such as CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG and ATK%.

- With the introduction of Stellar-Conduct and Miko's related Stellar-Conduct buffs, this setup is her best-performing team in terms of damage output.
- Sandrone is the only character that can enable Stellar-Conduct and subsequently the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state, so she is required for Miko to deal Stellar-Conduct DMG.
- Qiqi is another buffed character that grants a sizeable Stellar-Conduct DMG% increase.
- Escoffier is here to contribute her personal damage and a bit of Cryo RES shred.

The only way for Yae Miko to make use of her buffs related to the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct is in a team with Sandrone, who is the sole Stellar Linchpin character as of the current version of the game.

Fortunately, it seems that Miko's buffs were designed to make her one of the better Electro Sub-DPS choices to pair alongside Sandrone, so synergy and strong performance have been guaranteed until better alternatives for either are released.

Best Teams for Yae Miko

Team Rotation of Yae Miko and Combos

Basic Team Rotation for Off-Field Yae Miko

Basic Rotation For Off-Field Yae Miko
1. Use Elemental Skill x3, you can also Normal Attack once or twice after
2. Swap to other off-field supports
3. Do the main combo of your On-Field DPS
4. Use Miko's Elemental Burst (optional).
5. Repeat from Step 1.

In general, you want to use Yae Miko's Skill three times at the start of the rotation so that the time she consumes by doing doesn't waste the buff durations of other supports, which are meant for your on-field DPS to maximize by being the last character you swap into.

When to Use Yae Miko's Burst?

Bursting every rotation is fine but optional, especially if she is the only Electro character in the party. Miko's high-energy cost Burst requires a lot of Energy Recharge (ER) for full uptime or another Electro character that can generate a lot of Energy for her, like Fischl.

Giving Miko a lot of ER can get in the way of other desirable stats such as CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, so its considered optimal in a lot of cases to just skip using her Burst.

Basics of Using Yae Miko (Beginner Guide)

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

Skill-Based Electro Sub-DPS

Yae Miko is an Electro Off-Field character who is designed to deal the majority of her damage through her Skill. Her ability to be viable in different Electro reaction-based teams comes from her lacking any real restriction apart from the need to press her Elemental Skill three times, which deploys three fox-like objects called Sesshou Sakura.

Stellar-Conduct Synergy

While she can be flexed into multiple comps, the buffs she received for Stellar-Conduct have made Stellar-Conduct teams her preferred setup from a meta standpoint, since its current performance is competitive damage-wise.

Deploy Sesshou Sakura Through Skill

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

Yae Miko's Skill has three charges, and it deploys one Sesshou Sakura per charge. The first Sesshou Sakura is considered to be at Level 1 after summoning, with each subsequent Sesshou Sakura raising the level, up to Level 3.

These deployables have a small AoE around each lightning strike they summon.

Yae Miko Genshin ImpactNote!The Stellar-Conduct buffs also gave Miko's Skill an extra 10 seconds to the duration. This helps make it feel a little comfier to use alongside a DPS that wants to be on the field for some time.

Use Up All Three Charges of Her Skill

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

Yae Miko's Skill has some setup to deal with before it can deal damage. It isn't worth it to stop below three Sesshou Sakura due to the reduced damage output, so it is always better to use up all her Skill charges for better DPS. Ensure that you are outside of harm's way while activating Yae Miko's Skill, because she can easily be staggered mid-animation.

Yae Miko Genshin ImpactNote!Having 3 Sesshou Sakura on the field now lets them deal an additional lightning strike after using her Skill again. This effect is enabled once you finish her Witch's Revelation quest.

Elemental Burst Can be Used Every Other Rotation

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

Her Burst is a good amount of damage, but it comes with a high Energy cost that is difficult to always have available without a lot of Energy Recharge on her Artifacts. Building around her Burst might make you have less offensive stats, like CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, so it's fine to either activate her Burst every other rotation or skip it entirely.

Radiance: Stellar-Conduct State Effects

Yae Miko Genshin Impact

▲ The Polestar Field is denoted by the blue border around a small star-like structure on the ground.

When a team with a Stellar Linchpin holder deals Stellar-Conduct by applying Electro and Cryo on an enemy, a Polestar Field is created. Standing inside this field activates the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state for everyone in the party.

After completing her Witch's Revelation quest, the Sesshou Sakura will be able to deal Stellar-Conduct damage while in the mentioned state. Any subsequent Stellar-Conduct triggered also enhances the next attack from the Sesshou Sakura.

Elemental Skill, Burst and Abilities Guide for Yae Miko

How To Use Yae Miko?

Elemental Skill Is Her Main Source of Damage

Basic Rotation of Yae Miko
1. Use her Elemental Skill 3 times. Try to create a triangle with her Sakura to increase the damage.
2. Swap to other supports with shorter ability durations.
3. Swap to your On-Field DPS to execute their damage combo.
4. Repeat from step 1.

Yae Miko is an Off-Field character that is more damage-focused than supportive. She deals most of her DPS through her Skill, which puts down a deployable called a Sesshou Sakura on the field. Miko's Skill can be used at the very start thanks to the Sakura's relatively long duration.

Each Sakura summoned equals 1 Level, with each level above it having more damage. When all three are summoned, this is considered 'Level 3'. Because of this, it is ideal to ensure you use all three charges of her Elemental Skill to get the most DPS.

Sesshou Sakura Targets Enemies at Random

Due to her Sesshou Sakura having random targeting, Miko has a natural advantage against multi-target content, but she performs well enough against bosses or smaller groups regardless. The Sesshou Sakura are also able to hit enemies that burrow underground, like the Setekh Wenut.

Yae MikoNote!Miko's Witch's Revelation buffs grant a sizeable amount of quality-of-life and damage-increasing changes to her Skill.

High Energy Cost Elemental Burst

Great Secret Art: Tenko KenshinGreat Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin - Summons a lightning strike.
- Deals AoE Electro DMG.
- Active Sesshou Sakuras create Tenko Thunderbolts.
Tenko Thunderbolt
- Deals AoE Electro DMG.

Miko's Elemental Burst summons large Electro lightning strikes. The number of strikes depends on how many Sesshou Sakura were on the field before activating her Burst.

At its core, Miko's Burst should contribute a decent amount to the total team DPS. However, its main drawback is the high Energy cost, so she’ll need plenty of Energy Recharge% or Electro teammates to use it consistently.

Because of the Energy requirement and long cooldown, you might typically forego using it or opt into activating the ability every other rotation instead, since overinvesting in Energy Recharge% can cut into offensive stats like CRIT and ATK%.

Yae Miko Genshin ImpactNote! Before her buffs, Miko's Burst would have destroyed her active Sesshou Sakura. This is no longer the case.

Polestar Field Genshin Impact
When Stellar-Conduct is triggered, the surrounding area will transform into a Polestar Field for a short period of time, and when inside a Polestar Field, certain characters will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state, which grants various skill buffs.

Miko is one of the few Electro characters that received direct kit adjustments that align her with the new Stellar-Conduct reaction and its subsequent teams through the Witch's Revelation system.

After finishing the quest, Miko will receive a new passive alongside other abilities and ▼constellation changes. This passive is one of the primary reasons why Miko can contribute almost as much DPS as Sandrone in the premium Stellar-Conduct team.

Should You Pull for Yae Miko's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Choice Depends on Preference

Signature VS Constellations
C1 > KaguraKagura's Verity > C2

Get Miko's C1 for Free

The introduction of the 'To Temper Thyself & Journey Far' system that grants you a single free Constellation of certain characters gave everyone the chance to receive Yae Miko's C1 for free after eight (8) weeks' worth of activities.

Before her adjustments, this Constellation was unremarkable, but because it now grants a 50% Stellar-Conduct DMG% Bonus, it's one of the first things you should consider obtaining if you want Miko to perform at her best in a Stellar-Conduct team.

Kagura's Verity Is an Improvement Over the Alternatives

Additionally, getting her Signature Weapon becomes a more valuable choice as a means of increasing Miko's damage if your account only has her 4-star catalyst options, such as The Widsith.

The added Stellar-Conduct DMG% buff also made it above and beyond other options in terms of her personal damage for Stellar-Conduct teams. So if you want to maximize Miko's DPS potential, her weapon becomes the more appealing choice.

C2 Is a Good Stopping Point

Since Miko's damage is primarily dealt through her Sesshou Sakura, it goes without saying that increasing its max level from three to four should result in a noticeable damage boost. This Constellation also compounds an Elemental Mastery buff for the active character depending on the current level of the Sesshou Sakura.

If you would rather increase Miko's overall team value, C2 would be more favorable over her Signature Weapon.

Recommendation If You Have Limited CRIT Catalyst
C1 > C2 > KaguraKagura's Verity

The difference between Kagura's Verity and the other 5-star catalysts, such as the Reliquary of Truth in terms of performance isn't very drastic, but other catalysts will still be far less potent. But these weapons can still allow Miko to function well as a Sub-DPS, and are good reasons to skip getting Kagura's Verity in favor of Constellations.

Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin (Elemental Burst)

Effect
Legends of "kitsunetsuki," or the manifestation of a kitsune's might, are common in Inazuma's folktales. One that particularly captures the imagination is that of the Sky Kitsune, said to cause lightning to fall down upon the foes of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Summons a lightning strike, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
When this is cast, Yae Miko will transform nearby Sesshou Sakura into Tenko Thunderbolts that descend from the skies, dealing AoE Electro DMG. Each Sesshou Sakura within range transforms into one Tenko Thunderbolt.

do you think that two piece golden troupe two piece gilded dreams will work

Anonymous 39

Yea, Nahida’s weapon is good with Gilded since you can go att% on goblet sands and Sub DPS builds (Fischl beats it barely at c4). Only situation it’s bad in is Yae hyper with Benny, Sara, flex/battery. Just remember her turrets proc aggravate every three hits.

Anonymous 38

She should be an S DPS after Dendro tbh.

Anonymous 37

Would nahida's weapon be any good for miko if someone were to accidentally pull one without nahida?
