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.

- 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

For Yae Miko's rise to 90 level 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.

Best builds for Yae Miko
Main role Yae - sub dd (sometimes it can act as dd). She is revolver character - enters the field, placing totems, and goes into the pocket (deals damage while out of the field), allowing other characters to hit electro status.
Variant of the game with charged attacks possible, but will require effort and practice, as animations pretty kitsune attacks long and you will need to learn how to interrupt them (with the help of 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 crits (Sarah C6) attack power (Bennett, Sarah) energy recovery (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 (desc):
- Crete. damage%,
- Crete. chance%,
- Attack Power%/ Elemental Mastery,
- Energy recovery%.
Optimal characteristic values:
- ATK: from 1800-2000 units.
- Chance of crit and crit. damage: ratio 1:2 (70 ksh and 140 ku) and above.
- Elemental Mastery: 100-150 units. (the rest can be obtained from supports)
- Energy recovery: from 120-150%.

Good stats, but the passive effect requires constant presence on the battlefield. More suitable for the main dd. |
4 | Dreams of a thousand nights | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Basic Attack 44-542 Elemental Mastery 58-265 |
These effects can stack up to 3 times. In addition, the MC 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 Attack Power: 10,8% ~ 49,6% | Increases shield strength by 20%~40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%~8% within 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 | The Widsith | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 Crete. damage: 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 | Sun 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.

At R5, increases Cherry Blossoms and Elemental Explosion by 40%. Suitable for any role. |
8 | Eye of Oath | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 44 ~ 565 Attack Power: 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. |

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 replenishment | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 42 ~ 510 Energy recovery: 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 Consciousness | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Base damage: 41 ~ 454 Attack Power: 12% ~ 55,1% | On hit with a Light or Charged Attack, there is a 50% chance to launch an Eye of Mind that deals 240%~360% attack power damage. 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 | A spear | 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 | Two-handed sword | More suitable if you take Yae as the main dd. |
Sarah | 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. |
Tignari | 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. |
Collei | 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. |
Heizo | 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. |
Zhong Li | Geo | A spear | 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 Dragon Slayer Epic. Her elemental blast can make Yae's ult even stronger. |
Ayato | Hydro | One handed sword | 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. |
Eimia | 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. |

How to play as Yae Miko
Elemental Skill Yae Miko deals damage over time upon activation. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to arrange all sakura branches at once where the battle is to take place. Also the skill has low rollback time and a built-in dash, which allows you to effectively dodge enemies while saving energy.
Totems are best placed approximately at an equal distance from each other - it is most convenient triangle-shapedso that they are all active and deal maximum damage.
Ulta is activated only when they are standing on the battlefield all 3 sakura branches, since it is quite expensive, and the damage directly depends on each branch. After the explosion of the elements, we immediately update all the totems so as not to lose damage.
If Yae Miko is a main damage dealer and most of the time is on the field, use charged attacks, interrupting their animation jump.
No it is recommended to use jerk, due to the high consumption of stamina.
Rotation Features
Miko rotations are quite simple:
1. Activate status/pocket/Jae buffs from supports.
2. Switch to Guji and spread all totems.
3. Switch to sub dd/attack with Yae's charged attacks.
Don't forget to refresh totems periodically
4. Use ultimate skill Yae.
5. Repeat the rotation from the first step.
Сonclusion
Yae Miko is a very interesting Electro Catalyst. She can easily perform in any dd role: main dd, secondary dd, burst in the revolver group. Her skills are enough understandable and simple, which makes her a hero suitable for beginners. A potentially large damage and great variety of builds makes Yae desirable for experienced players as well.
