To understand what teams would work with Yae Miko and her team rotation, you need to familiarize yourself with her abilities. Her Elemental Skill summons three totems, and it is her bread and butter. They provide consistent off-field damage and allow you to make full use of her Elemental Burst.

Yae Miko’s Elemental Burst damage depends on how many totems are spawned when it is cast. Her ascension talent also reset her skill cooldown to deploy totems right after the Burst quickly.

Generally, Yae Miko can fit in multiple team archetypes due to the nature of her Elemental Skill. To get the most out of her, you should try to pair her with another Electro character that has good synergy with her. Here are your best options in this regard:

  • Raiden Shogun
  • Fischl

Both of them are great at being Yae Miko's battery and also provide a decent amount of personal damage. Here are others who have great synergy character with her:

  • Bennett
  • Kazuha
  • Kujou Sara
  • Nahida
  • Tighnari
  • Xingqiu
  • Yelan

Since her kit doesn't snapshot, you want to have any off-field units that provide ATK, EM, or Damage% buffs.

There are different combos you can run in Yae Miko teams. Here is a quick overview:

  1. EEE > Swap > Q > EEE
  2. N2CJ / N2CD
  3. N1CJ / N1CD
  4. N1E
  5. N1EEN1E

For an off-field Yae Miko, the first combo will be her standard cast combo. Before returning to her, make sure to rotate through other units as much as you can to utilize the starting totems as much as possible.

The second, third, and fifth combo are helpful for on-field Yae Miko in Genshin Impact. The N1E can be used to squeeze out an extra Aggravate or to proc passives. This combo can also cancel the N1 attack animation extremely early and easily.

Overall, every Yae Miko team will start their rotation with her to spawn all her totems. Switch to other units to utilize their kit or apply any buffs/debuffs.
