Advantages and disadvantages of Yae Miko
Advantages:
- The default electro infusion (catalyst) allows you to play effectively from both Dendro and Hydro reactions.
- Has a high base attack power.
- As the character ascends, the chance of a critical hit increases, which makes it easier to balance the stats.
- It can be in the position of both a secondary damage dealer and a main damage dealer.
- Huge burst damage from the ult.
- The elemental skill deals damage even when the character is not on the battlefield and has a fast cooldown (4 seconds).
- Doesn't need full sets, allowing you to assemble a very strong character from good 2+2 artifacts.
- Good mobility.
Prominent deficiencies:
- High energy costs for the explosion of the elements. Yae Miko has one of the highest ult cost - 90 units. Therefore, for a comfortable game, she needs one more Electro in the team, which will act as a battery (energy source).
- The biggest problem of the character as a main damage dealer can be the long animation of normal attacks, which will reduce the overall dps.
- Requires proper placement and keeping the distance between the totems.
- Needs strong supports.
Leveling Yae Miko

To level up Yae Miko to 90 you will need:
- Amethyst Vajrada -drops from world bosses (Electro hypostasis, Ancient Geowishap, Thunder Manifestation, Flock of Vishaps of the Deep), weekly bosses - Terror of the Storm, Magatsu mitake Narukami no Mikoto (Raiden), Childe. Crafted on an alchemy table using Nitrogen Dust.
- Sea Ganoderma - Inazuma specialty.

- Dragonheir’s False Fin - drops from the world boss Bathysmal Vishap Herd.
- Must.
Talents

- Guide to Light is a talent enhancement material that can be obtained from violet hall (Available Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday).
- Handguards - fall from nobushi and kairagi.

Best builds for Yae Miko
Yae's primary role is as a sub DPS (she can also occasionally act as a DPS). She's a revolver character —she enters the field, placing totems, and then retreats to the back of the field (dealing damage while off the field), allowing other characters to target Electro.
The charged attack option is possible, but it will require effort and practice, as Kitsune's attack animations are quite long and you will need to learn how to interrupt them (with a jump/dash).
Yae Miko has three build options:
- Playing with Escalation/Growth: played like revolver teams, where each member of the squad deals damage. Or there is a second DD that takes up enough time on the field for Miko to freely renew totems and drop her ult. Quite expensive to build, but very effective.
- Game via Charged: Hydro and Electro sub dd are used, all heroes hit out of pocket, imposing a huge number of statuses. An Anemo character can be present in the team, acting as a blow-up of all elements, reducing the resistance of enemies / distributing elemental mastery useful for Yae Miko. Works well as opposed to single targets, and against groups of enemies.
- Classic with Crits: in this case, you need to pick up supports capable of distributing the necessary additional crit (Sarah C6) attack power (Bennett, Sarah) energy recharge (Raiden, Fischl) and ult damage increase (Raiden) because it allows you to maximize pure (own) damage with elemental skill and ult.Works best against single targets.
In all build options, Yae Miko's personal damage is important. Therefore, in artifacts we are looking for:
Top stats:
- hours - Attack Power% (in rare cases MS),
- goblet - Electro damage%,
- crown - Crete. chance% / Crit. damage%.
Useful lower stats (in descending order) :
- Crit. damage%,
- Crete. chance%,
- Attack Power%/ Elemental Mastery,
- Energy recovery%.
Recommended values:
- ATK: 1800-2000 and more.
- Crit Rate and Crit Damage: ratio 1:2 (70 rate and 140 dmg) and more.
- Elemental Mastery: 100-150 units. (the rest can be obtained from supports)
- Energy recharge: 120-150% and more.
Best Weapons
Guji Yae's best weapon is undoubtedly her signature 5-star catalyst, Kagura's Truth . This tome increases the damage of an elemental skill by 12%~24% for 16 seconds. Stacks up to 3 times. At 3 stacks, it provides a 12%~24% elemental damage bonus. It has good base damage, critical damage, and its passive effect significantly increases the elemental skill and elemental damage bonus.
| 2 |  Skyward Atlas | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 48 ~ 674 ATK: 7,2% ~ 33,1% | Gives a bonus elemental damage 12 %~24 %. Once every 30 sec.

| 3 |  Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 46 ~ 608 Crit Chance: 7,2% ~ 33,1% | Increases movement speed by 10%. While the character is on the field every 4 seconds. increases the elemental damage bonus by 8%~16 % (max. 4 stacks). Stacks are reset if the character leaves the battlefield. Good stats, but the passive effect requires constant presence on the battlefield. More suitable for the main dd. |
| 4 |  A Thousand Floating Dreams | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Basic attack 44-542 Elemental Mastery 58-265 |
These effects can stack up to 3 times. In addition, the EM of all heroes nearby (except for the character equipped with a catalyst) is increased by +40 points. If other party members also have this weapon, the effect stacks. |
| 5 |  Memory of Dust | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 46 ~ 608 ATK: 10,8% ~ 49,6% | Increases shield durability by 20 %~40 %. On hit, increases attack power by 4%~8% for 8 sec. The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds. In addition, while protected by a shield, the attack power bonus of this effect is increased by 100%. Gives a huge amount of attack power, which will be useful for Yae. However, it requires a shield for the passive effect to work. |
| 6 |
| ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 CRIT DMG: 12% ~ 55,1% | When switching to a character for 10 seconds. a random theme song plays. Can occur once every 30 seconds. Recitative: Increases attack power by 60 %~120 %; Aria: Increases elemental damage by 48 %~96 %; Interlude: Increases Elemental Mastery by 240~480. Considered a very strong catalyst for any damage dealt. Despite the randomness of the buffs, depending on the playstyle, all of its effects will be useful in one way or another. |
| 7 |  Solar Pearl | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 Crit Chance: 6% ~ 27,6% | If the hero hits the enemy with a charged or normal attack, the damage of the ultimate and elemental skill is increased by 20% ~ 40% within 6 seconds. Hits by an elemental burst and E, on the contrary, increase the damage from normal attacks by the same values for 6 seconds. Universal Catalyst for Yae Miko. At R5, increases Cherry Blossoms and Elemental Explosion by 40%. Suitable for any role. |
| 8 |
| ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 44 ~ 565 ATK: 6 ~ 27,6% | Using an elemental skill increases energy recovery by 24%~48% for 10 seconds. Yae uses her elemental skill quite often and the cooldown time of sakura is only 4 seconds, so she can maintain a stable energy recovery bonus, which will allow her to often press her ult. |
| 9 |  Blackcliff Agate | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 CRIT DMG: 12% ~ 55,1% | When killing enemies, increases attack power by 12 %~24 % up to a maximum of 3 stacks. The effect lasts 30 seconds. On R5 and with 3 stacks, a very powerful weapon, but you can only get stacks with a lot of enemies. |

Can stack up to 2 times. Quite a good crafting weapon, subject to the game from reactions. It will go well in a team with Dendro. |
| 11 |  Hakushin Ring | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 44 ~ 565 Energy recharge: 6,7% ~ 30,6% | When a character equipped with this weapon triggers an Electro element reaction, all nearby party members whose element matches this reaction receive a 10% damage bonus to their element for 6 seconds. Elemental damage bonuses gained this way do not stack. The catalyst is extremely situational and only works in units through elemental reactions. However, it does its job quite well and increases the elemental damage of the characters that participate in these reactions. Suitable for sup-dd Yae and will show itself well in revolver units. |
| 12 |  Fruit of Fulfillment | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 Energy recharge: 10% ~ 45,9% | When triggering an elemental reaction, the Growth and Wake buff appears, which increases elemental mastery by 24-36 points, but reduces attack power by 5%. The effect stacks up to 5 times. The counter works no more than 1 time in 0,3 seconds. If no elemental reactions are triggered within 6 seconds, 1 level of the buff is lost. The effect works even if the character with the catalyst is not on the battlefield. Another crafting catalyst, but from Sumeru. Gives a lot of energy recovery and mastery of the elements, thanks to which it will complement the squad well through reactions. It is best used in Dendro units, particularly through Vegetation, where Elemental Mastery directly affects damage. In Stimulation, it will also be good, but in this case, crits and attack power are also important, which the weapon cannot give. |
| 13 |  Eye of Perception | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 41 ~ 454 ATK: 12% ~ 55,1% | On hit with a normal or Charged Attack, there is a 50% chance to launch a Bolt of Perception that deals damage equal to 240 %~360 % of attack power. It can bounce from enemy to enemy up to 4 times. May occur once per 12~8 sec. Not the strongest option. But if all of the above weapons are missing and Yae takes the position of the main damage dealer, it can be used as an alternative. |

Squad Composition for Yae Miko
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
 Raiden |  Electro |  Polearm | Raiden will flood energy and increase ult. Yes, and Yae herself has an expensive elemental explosion, which goes well with the mechanics of Raiden. |
 Fischl |  Electro |  Bow | If Raiden is not, Fischl is a great partner. She has good damage, and fills her energy perfectly. |
 Bay Doe |  Electro |  Claymore | More suitable if you take Yae as the main dd. |
 Sara |  Electro |  Bow | Has a good buff to Attack Power. But without c2 it is inconvenient to use. But on c6 it has a powerful buff on the crit power for Electro. |
|  Dendro |  Bow | The main DD in the squad through Stimulation. Under passive totem damage, Yae Miko activates the Growth reaction, dealing increased damage to Dendro. |
|  Dendro |  Bow | Deals additional damage from Dendro reactions, grants Dendro status. At C4, increases Elemental Mastery by 60. |
 Dendro Traveler |  Dendro |  One-handed sword | The best F2P Dendro app. It also increases Elemental Mastery with a passive talent. Easy to get C6. |
 Nahida |  Dendro |  Catalyst: | Buffs damage from all Dendro reactions. Distributes a large amount of "strong" Dendro status for 25 seconds. Can increase Elemental Mastery up to 200 points. |
 Kazuha |  Anemo |  One-Handed Sword | In addition to being an Anemo support, he also does a lot of elemental damage. In addition, it has good control. |
 Sucrose |  Anemo |  Catalyst: | Cheaper version of Kazuha. It gives more energy, and instead of an elemental attack, floods elemental mastery, which will be useful when playing through reactions. |
 Heizou |  Anemo |  Catalyst: | Cuts resistances and is also a team driver, great for Yae's mechanic. Can act as a sub dd |
 Venti |  Anemo |  Bow | Has the strongest screed in the game. Fills with energy. Like any anemo support can cut resistances. |
 Zhongli |  Geo |  Polearm | Powerful shield and control. |
 Albedo |  Geo |  One-Handed Sword | It is easier to collect it, since arts need protection, and the best weapon is either an event 4⭐️ sword, or a 3⭐️ sword in general. Among the shortcomings can be called the fact that the bosses easily destroy the flower. |
 Xingqiu |  Hydro |  One-Handed Sword | Perfect as a secondary damage dealer if you take Yae as your main damage dealer. And as a partner in other roles, it’s also not bad, because it can cause good damage. |
 Mona |  Hydro |  Catalyst: | Maintains Hydro status on enemies and can wear the Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. Her elemental burst can make Yae's ult even stronger. |
|
|
| AoE hydro damage, increasing the damage of normal attacks of any character who is within the range of the ult. |
 Tartaglia |  Hydro |  Bow | It is quite possible to play with Yae Miko through reaction charged. |
 Kokomi |  Hydro |  Catalyst: | Distributes Hydro status and heals. |
 Bennett |  Pyro |  One-Handed Sword | Bennett's attack power buff is the strongest in the game. In addition, he has a heel. |
 Yoimiya |  Pyro |  Bow | Yae will provide a sea of Electro status for Eimiya. The archer herself plays well through the Overload reaction thanks to ranged attacks. |
 Yanfei |  Pyro |  Catalyst: | The case is the same as with Emiya. |
Team Samples
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
 Yae Miko |  Tighnari |  Fischl |  Zhongli | Command through the Aggravation and Growth reactions:
|
 Yae Miko |  Fischl |  Collei | Dendro MC | Command via Escalation:
|
 Yae Miko | Nahida |  Raiden  Dori |
| Squad through Escalation and Vegetation:
|
 Yae Miko |
| Dendro MC |
| Hyperbloom Team:
|
|  Yae Miko |  Kazuha |
| The emphasis of the team in the burst damage of Yae Miko in the Emblem. Raiden / Fischl pump up energy, and also impose a status to inflate Kazuha. Bennett heals and floods the attack. |
Bay Doe |  Yae Miko |  Raiden |
| A great option for a full-electro pack. Raiden buffs Fischl/Beidou allies' ultimates to pump up energy, and also impose a status to inflate Kazuha. |
 Yae Miko |
|  Yun Jin |
| Yae as the main dd. Yun Jin buffs the damage of normal attacks. Xing Qiu / Ye Lan - Hydro applicator and extra damage. Zhong Li - shield and reduce the elemental resistance of enemies. |
 Yae Miko |  Xingqiu |  Yelan |
| Strong revolver team from Charged. Stable hydro status from Xing Qiu and Ye Lan, Electro from Yae and Fischl. A promising unit with good damage. |
 Yae Miko |  Xingqiu | Yelan |  Heizou  Sucrose | Stable hydro status from Xing Qiu and Ye Lan, blowing and shearing of resists from Heizo and Sucrose + ms filling from Sucrose. |
 Yae Miko |  Xingqiu |
|  Fischl | An interesting bundle via Charged. Yae Miko acts as a main damage dealer, Xing Qiu applies a status, Ayato deals AoE ult hydro damage, increasing the damage of Miko's normal attacks, Fischl helps maintain Electro, pumps up Yae's energy. |
 Yae Miko | Raiden |  Mona |
| Group through reaction Charged. Yae and Raiden pair well, buffing and boosting each other's ults. Mona pairs well with both and bestows Hydro status. Kokomi or Barbara complete the group with healing and close the resonance. |
 Yae Miko |  Bay Doe |  Kazuha |
| Kazuha accelerates Electro damage. Xing Qiu/Ye Lan give a lot of Hydro status. Yae and Bei Dou pump each other's energy, dealing damage. |
 Yae Miko |  Sara |  Heizou |  Kokomi | Kokomi in this unit acts as a healer and reactor. She is the same, since Yae is quite mobile and has a lot of healing, so shielders are not required in this case. Sarah gives a bonus to attack power and pumps up energy. Heizo cuts resistances and is also the team's driver |
 Yoimiya |  Yae Miko |  Albedo |  Zhongli | Slightly modified Eimiya unit. Just replace Fischl with Yae. Naturally, the squad plays through Overload. But this is actually not the best option, since Eimiya is about dps, not about burst. |
 Yanfei |  Yae Miko |  Albedo |  Zhongli | Alternate unit with Yan Fei through Overload, where she acts as the main damage dealer. Given that the range of her attacks is quite large, there should be no problems. |
 Bay Doe |  Yae Miko |  Albedo |  Zhongli | Yae and Bei Dou pump each other's energy, dealing damage. Albedo deals ms with ult, Zhong personal shield and closes geo resonance |
 Tartaglia |  Fischl |  Yae Miko |  Bennett | Reaction Game Charged. Yae and Fischl pump each other's ults. Bennet heals and gives a buff to attack power. |
How to play Yae Miko
Yae Miko's elemental skill deals damage over time after activation. Therefore, it's a good idea to place all of her Sakura branches in the area where the battle will take place. The skill also has a low cooldown and a built-in dash, allowing you to effectively evade enemies while conserving energy.
It's best to place totems at roughly equal distances from each other - preferably in a triangle shape - so that they are all active and deal maximum damage.
We only activate the ultimate when all three Sakura branches are on the battlefield , as it's quite expensive and the damage output is directly dependent on each branch. After the elemental explosion, we immediately refresh all totems to avoid losing damage.
If Yae Miko is the main DD and is on the field most of the time, use charged attacks, interrupting their animation with a jump.
It is not recommended to use the dash due to the high stamina consumption.
Rotation Features
Miko rotations are quite simple:
1. Activate status/pocket/Jae buffs from supports.
2. Switch to Guji and place all the totems.
3. Switch to sub dd/attack with Yae's charged attacks.
Don't forget to refresh totems periodically
4. Use Yae's ultimate skill.
5. Repeat the rotation from the first step.
Сonclusion
Yae Miko is a very interesting Electro Catalyst. She can easily fill any damage-dealing role : main damage dealer, secondary damage dealer, or burst hero in a Revolver group. Her skills are quite straightforward and simple , making her suitable for beginners. Her high damage potential and wide build variability make Yae a desirable hero for experienced players as well.
We hope our Yae Miko build helped you understand how to build this hero. If anything remains unclear, please ask in the comments. Keep an eye on the Genshin Impact section of our website.
