Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks: Yae Miko gets new animations, constellation, and talent revamps

Recent Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks reveal that Yae Miko has undergone some changes. Currently, it's showing that these changes affect her:

While the Elemental Burst and Plunging Attack changes are merely cosmetic, the Constellations and Elemental Skill changes are direct buffs to the character. It's worth noting that all of this information comes from Genshin Impact 2.5 beta and could be subject to change in the future.

Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks: Updates to Yae Miko

As seen above, Yae Miko has received several buffs for her overall kit in the latest Genshin Impact 2.5 beta update. Her Elemental Skill's cooldown has been reduced by five seconds. Since there is no mention of its uptime, its duration may likely remain the usual 14 seconds with this revised four-second cooldown.

Another huge buff is that her small totems are reset upon using her Elemental Burst. This applies to every destroyed totem, which was not present in her original Elemental Skill.

Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura is the name of her Elemental Skill. The new C2 takes the "Sesshou Sakura start at level 2 when created. Max level increased to 4" from the old C6.

The new C6 no longer has that effect and merely buffs the percentage of her Elemental Skill ignoring DEF from 45% to 60%.

Updated animations

There were some minor changes to the animation of her Elemental Burst in the new 2.5 beta. For example, her tails are seen to be more purple now, and the camera angle seems to have been adjusted for the brief intro. It's still largely familiar to those who saw the old version of her Elemental Burst.

Interested players can click on the Streamable link provided if the tweet is copyright struck later.

The above tweet helps display some of the updated changes. The image on the left is the old Elemental Burst, and the one on the right is the new one. Essentially, the new cutscene has a more vibrant shade of purple than before.

The above tweet provides another angle of Yae Miko's purple tails. By comparison, the old tails' color camouflaged more with her general color scheme. Yae Miko could possibly get further changes to her Elemental Burst in the future, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Fortunately, her Elemental Burst wasn't the only thing that changed in the recent update as she now has a tail when performing her Plunging Attack. It's worth noting that her tail is pink here, while it's purple in the Elemental Burst.

Some Genshin Impact players might also notice that her tail suddenly disappears after the plunging attack animation. The person who posted the tweet stated that the animation "likely isn't finished."

The final leaks worth mentioning are that Yae Miko's Normal and Charged Attacks have wide AOE attacks in Genshin Impact. Thus, she can hit multiple enemies with them in a wider range than usual.
