Complete Genshin Impact Yae Miko build guide

Yae Miko specializes in dealing off-field Electro damage, which scales off her attack stat. It is recommended to also build Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and Energy Recharge for optimal performance.

It is also advisable to invest in Elemental Mastery stats if you wish to use Yae Miko in Dendro-based team compositions.

When selecting her artifact set pieces, here are the main stats you should look for:

Sands	Goblet	Circlet
ATK% / ER / EM	Electro DMG Bonus	Crit Rate / Crit DMG

For her substats, here are the recommended ones:

Crit Rate
Crit DMG
ATK%
Energy Recharge
Elemental Mastery

Yae Miko talent priority guide

The greatest asset of Yae Miko's kit is her Elemental Skill, Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, which can periodically apply Electro on enemies off-field. As such, it is recommended to level up this talent at the earliest.

Let's take a look at her talent priorities:

Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attacks

With new elemental reactions involving Dendro such as Aggravate and Hyperbloom, Yae Miko has a wide range of artifact sets to choose from in Genshin Impact's 4.4 update. Here is a list of the best sets that players can farm for her:

4-piece Thundering Fury
4-piece Gilded Dreams

Yae Miko can take tons of advantage of the four-piece set bonus provided by both of these sets. A four-piece set of Thundering Fury increases Electro damage and impact caused by Electro-based reactions. Additionally, it also reduces the cooldown of her Elemental Skill.

Meanwhile, a four-piece set of Gilded Dreams is optimal for her in Dendro reaction-based teams. The artifact set offers additional Elemental Mastery through set bonus effects. The collection also provides ATK and EM buff to the whole party.

If you do not have access to 4-piece of the aforementioned sets, you can build Yae Miko with the following two-piece sets:

Gladiator's Finale/Shimenawa Reminiscence - ATK Buff
Emblem of Severed Fate - Energy Recharge
Thundering Fury - Electro DMG Bonus
Noblesse Oblige - Increase Elemental Burst DMG

All of these artifact sets are viable for Yae Miko in Genshin Impact, and players can mix and match any two for their two-piece set bonus effects. The build can also depend on artifacts that they have already farmed in the past.
