Name: Yae Miko
Vision: Electro
Birthday: June 27
Constellation: Divina Vulpes
Titles: Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Astute Amusement
Yae Miko, a highly anticipated character in Genshin Impact, captivates with her enigmatic persona, strong connections to the Raiden Shogun, and a unique kit. Understanding her abilities is key to maximizing her potential.
Yae Miko’s Elemental Skill, Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, allows for a short dash and leaves a Sesshou Sakura at her landing spot. This Sakura deals Electro DMG to enemies within its range, with a maximum of three on the field simultaneously. Her co-op teammates share this limitation.
Her Burst, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, summons a powerful lightning bolt in front of her. If Sesshou Sakura is active, additional bolts are summoned (one per Sakura, up to three). This combination makes her excel in the Sub-DPS role. This efficient rotation maximizes her damage potential.
Genshin Impact Yae Miko Builds
Sub-DPS
To maximize Yae Miko’s damage, consider the 4-piece Thundering Fury set. For a general ATK boost, a combination of Thundering Fury and any ATK +18% set provides an excellent foundation. Thundering Fury significantly enhances damage through reactions, and also offers a cooldown reduction, though this is less critical due to Yae Miko’s short cool-downs.
Alternatively, the Emblem of Severed Fate set offers a robust solution. Its Energy Recharge bonus addresses Yae Miko’s energy needs, while contributing to her overall damage. Some players may find this setup even superior to Thundering Fury, or even prefer a combination of both for maximum utility.
Key Stats: ATK%, Energy Recharge, Electro DMG Bonus, Crit Rate/DMG
Supporting Stats: Crit DMG/Rate, Energy Recharge, ATK, Elemental Mastery
Support-Oriented
Yae Miko can effectively support the team with either the Tenacity of the Millileth or Noblesse Oblige sets. The Millileth set emphasizes team support by boosting party HP, which is helpful but not as critical for Yae Miko’s role. The Noblesse Oblige set is more relevant, prioritizing ATK boost to augment damage output while using her Burst. This build leans heavily on maximizing her Burst damage given its energy cost.

The Oathsworn Eye, an event catalyst, is another viable option, though it’s currently unavailable. Future events may introduce additional suitable weapons.
