Yae Miko kit
Yae Miko is a 5-Star Electro character who uses a catalyst, and keeping in mind that all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, here's a summary of Yae Miko's kit in Genshin Impact:
- Element: Electro.
- Rarity: 5-Star.
- Weapon: Catalyst.
- Normal Attack: Spiritfox Sin-Eater.
- Elemental Skill: Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura.
- Elemental Burst: Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin.
- Passive one: The Shrine's Sacred Shade - When casting her Elemental Burst, each Sesshou Sakura destroyed resets the cooldown for one charge of Yae Miko's Elemental Skill.
- Passive two: Enlightened Blessing - Every point of Elemental Mastery Yae Miko possesses will increase Sesshou Sakura Damage by 0.15%.
- Passive three: Meditations of a Yako - You have a 25% chance to get one regional Character Talent Material (base material excluded) when crafting. The rarity is that of the base material.
Yae Miko Normal Attack - Spiritfox Sin-Eater
Yae Miko summons forth kitsune spirits, initiating a maximum of three attacks that deal Electro Damage, if tapping the normal attack button. Holding it down instead makes Yae Miko consume a certain amount of stamina to deal AOE Electro Damage after a short casting time.
As with most plunging attacks, Yae Miko plunges from mid-air and strikes the ground below for AOE (area of effect) Electro damage on impact.
Yae Miko Elemental Skill - Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura
Yae Miko moves swiftly, leaving a Sesshou Sakura behind.
Sesshou Sakura
Sesshou Sakura has the following properties:
- Periodically strikes one nearby opponent with lightning, dealing Electro Damage.
- When there are other Sesshou Sakura nearby, their level will increase, boosting the damage dealt by these lightning strikes.
This skill has three charges, and a maximum of three Sesshou Sakura can exist simultaneously. The initial level of each Sesshou Sakura is one, and the initial highest level each sakura can reach is three. If a new Sesshou Sakura is created too close to an existing one, the existing one will be destroyed.
Yae Miko Elemental Burst - Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin
Yae Miko summons a lightning strike, dealing AOE Electro Damage. When she uses this skill, Yae Miko will unseal nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Tenko Thunderbolts that descend from the skies, dealing AOE Electro Damage. Each Sesshou Sakura destroyed in this way will create one Tenko Thunderbolt.
Yae Miko Talent materials
To get the most out of using Yae Miko, you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.
