Yae Miko's Normal, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, and Burst

Yae Miko is an Electro damage dealer who deals both constant damage off-field and burst damage.

Her normal attack summons kitsune spirits, initiating a maximum of 3 attack sequences that deal Electro damage. On the other hand, Yae's charged attack consumes a certain amount of her Stamina to deal Area of Effect (AoE) Electro damage.


Elemental Skill: Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura

Miko's Elemental Skill allows her to leave behind Sesshou Sakura that deals continuous Electro damage. When there are other Seshhou Sakura nearby, their level will increase, increasing the damage dealt by the lightning strikes. There are three levels for Sesshou Sakura.


Burst: Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin

When Yae Miko unleashes her Elemental Burst, Sesshou Sakura on the field will be destroyed, transforming into Tenko Thunderbolts dealing AoE Electro damage. Each Sesshou Sakura will create one Tenko Thunderbolt.


Yae Miko had garnered a lot of attention ever since her appearance when Inazuma was first released. Next week, players can finally wish for her in the Everbloom Violet banner in version 2.5.
