Yae Miko Guide and Best Builds (2024)

Last updated on Jun 05, 2024 at 11:00by Shikhu

Yae primarily is played as a SubDPS generally focusing on theAggravate reaction but can be played inother reactions as well such as Hyperbloom,Overloaded and Electro-Charged.

Yae has a range of powerful weapon options with her signature weapon, Kagura's Verity generally being her best option. A Thousand Floating Dreams being her second best generally becauseof the passive provided. Some 4-star options include The Widsith and Solar Pearl both of which canbe great options when at R5.

Gilded Dreams is a great artifact set for Yae with itsElemental Mastery and ATK boosting effects. Another great option is Golden Troupe in more single-target focused scenarios.

When focusing on Aggravate, Yae wants to be built withCRIT, ATK % and Elemental Mastery to increase her DMG.

When built as a Hyperbloom DPS, Yae will spend a lot more time on-fielddealing Electro DMG to generate Hyperblooms.As the driver for this reaction, Yae wants to be built with a lot ofElemental Mastery.

This changes her weapon priorities to make A Thousand Floating Dreamsher best option with 4-star stat sticks such as Wandering Evenstar, Sacrificial Fragments and even Magic Guidedecent options for her.

This is a more "general" build you could say, not focusing on any specificDendro reaction like the other 2 builds and therefore doesnot prioritise Elemental Mastery. One example would be when she isused as a SubDPS for Raiden Shogun.

This means that Yae's stats focus more on ATK and CRIT now toincrease her DMG. While Golden Troupe becomes her bestartifact set.

Yae's Energy Recharge requirements can vary based on who is in the party andhow often you use her Elemental Burst. If Yae is the only Electrocharacter on the team for example, you will only want to burst every otherrotation otherwise the Energy Recharge requirements become too high.

Yakan Offering (C1), roughly lowers Yae's EnergyRecharge requirements down by 40% effectively allowing her toburst every rotation in a lot more teams. Playing her on-field can also lower it byroughly 15%.

Yae's gameplay primarily reolves around her Sesshou Sakura,these are the lightning "turrets" which are placed when you use herElemental Skill and deal Electro DMG periodically.You have 3 charges of this Elemental Skill and 3 Sesshou Sakura can be on thefield at any time.

When the Sesshou Sakura are near to eachother, their level will increase.This means that the DMG dealt from their periodic attacks will increase. Tooptimise this, you want to place them in a rough triangle-like formation.Placing them in a line will only allow the middle Sakura to hit level 3.

Yae's Elemental Burst, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshindeals powerful Electro AoE DMG to nearby opponents. Whenusing this skill, any Sesshou Sakura nearby will "unseal".This means they will also deal additional AoE Electro DMG to enemies. WithYae's 1st Ascension The Shrine's Sacred Shade you can thenimmediately re-summon your Sesshou Sakura. This therefore gives thefollowing rotation:

• Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura x3
• Use other character buffs and abilities.
• Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin
• Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura x3

Yae Miko has a wide range of teams she can support with her off-fieldElectro DMG. Her best teams generall beingQuicken related.

The Below teams focus on the Catalyze set ofreactions involving Aggravate and Spread.

With Yae, you generally want 1 more Electro and 1Dendro character paired alongside her with a finalflex position for supportive utility such as Shields and RES Shred.Having the team with more Electro characters allows the team toprimarily focus on the Aggravate reaction.

With Electro characters, Fischl tends to be the best due tohow quickly she can apply Electro, Raiden Shogun instead offersmore AoE DMG as well as functioning as a great battery.Kuki Shinobu instead provides healing alongside her Electroapplication and also opens your team up to different supportive characters suchas Kaedehara Kazuha, Venti andSucrose.

With regards to Dendro characters, you have great options.Nahida offers great personal damage as well as powerfulDendro application. Tighnari and Alhaithamprodive single target and AoE DMG respectively while characters such asBaizhu or Yaoyao provide healing andtherefore allow different supportive characters.

While similar to the previous team comp, this team instead uses 2Dendro characters and therefore has a higheremphasis on Spread reaction DMG. Because youare running 2 Dendro characters, this does mean you want to ensure that 1character is running Deepwood Memories to lower theenemy Dendro RES.

Alhaitham and Tighnari make greatMain DPS options, Nahida is also an option althoughbetter saved to be paired off-field ideally if possible. The finalflex position should either be a healer/shielder if you do not yet have one oranother Electro character if you do. Furinais a great option when paired with Baizhu as he caneasily generate Furina's Fanfare stacks.

In Hyperbloom teams, Yae will be the soleElectro trigger. You generally want 2Hydro characters with Xingqiu andYelan having great Hydro application whileFurina and Sangonomiya Kokomi insteadprovide utility. Nahida has the best Dendroapplication while Baizhu and Yaoyao insteadprovide healing but less Dendro application.

While a less common team composition compared to Raiden Shogun'smore popular teams it can still be effective in combat and can be great incombat which involves multiple waves of enemies. In more Hypercarry focused teams,once Raiden's Burst is over your DMG drops dramatically, Yae helps by providingElectro DMG outside of her Burst window. As with many of Raiden'sother team compositions, characters such as Bennett,Kaedehara Kazuha, Kujou Sara andZhongli tend to be some of her best supports.
