Yae Miko's abilities as per Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks

The above tweet showcases how quickly Yae Miko can activate all three charges of her Elemental Skill and then her Elemental Burst. All of the action takes place in nearly five seconds while covering a respectable amount of distance.

Players hoping to see a whole rotation against an enemy are in luck, as several video leaks of Yae Miko's kit in Genshin Impact 2.5 already exist. The one down below is a demonstration against a single Hilichurl.

Some leakers have stated that her Elemental Burst's thunderbolts can repeatedly strike large enemies. An example comes from a well-reputed leaker, Ubatcha1. They said that a Ruin Guard is too small to be hit twice, but large enemies like a Primo Geovishap can be hit twice by it.

It's also worth noting that she can pass through enemies by using her Elemental Skill.

Other Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks on Yae Miko's abilities

Her regular attacks are also part of various Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks. Her Normal Attacks are fairly unique for a Catalyst user in that they can hit multiple enemies at once. It also has a decently long range for a Normal Attack.

Likewise, Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks also cover her Charged Attacks. They have an impressive range, and players can also cancel the animation by jumping or dashing. The above video demonstrates her canceling several Charged Attacks near the beginning, and the attack still has remarkable range afterward.

The last ability worth mentioning is her Plunged Attack. It's not exceptional by any means, but it does include her having a tail during the execution. The animations are still subject to change, as everything here is still a part of Genshin Impact 2.5 beta.
