Genshin Impact Yae Miko build
As the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine and owner of Yae Publishing House, Genshin Impact’s Yae Miko‘s elegant and beautiful appearance belies an intelligent and cunning personality fitting of her kitsune heritage. She has nestled herself deeply into the lore of Teyvat and Inazuma, and we can’t wait to take this lovely fox lady out for a spin.
If you want to keep up to date with upcoming characters, check out our Genshin Impact next banner and Genshin Impact update guides. We’ve also got a handy list of Genshin Impact codes to keep your wallet lined with freemos, and a Genshin Impact event guide so you can keep track of what’s happening in Teyvat.

When’s the next Genshin Yae Miko banner?
You can pull Yae Miko on the current Genshin Impact banner, Everbloom Violet. Her banner runs concurrently with Genshin Childe‘s, and features four-stars Layla, Heizou, and Thoma.
What’s the best Genshin Yae Miko build?
Yae Miko wields an electro vision and a catalyst. She is capable of providing both constant damage off-field and high burst damage on-field, but suffers from a lack of invincibility frames and a skill/burst rotation that requires patience, timing, and a bit of skill.
However, with some TLC and some investment in her build, she makes for a great sub-DPS and electro applicator, especially in aggravate teams alongside a dendro character.
What is the best Genshin Yae Miko weapon?
Alongside Yae Miko, Mihoyo has released her signature, five-star catalyst called ‘Kagura’s Verity’, which is available on the weapon banner running concurrently with our favourite fox lady.
We predict that the Skyward Atlas and Lost Prayer to Sacred Winds catalysts will be suitable replacements if you can’t get your hands on Kagura’s Verity.
| Weapon | Effect |
| Kagura’s Verity | Yae Miko gains the Kagura Dance effect when using an elemental skill, causing the skill damage of the character wielding this weapon to increase by 12% for 16 seconds. Max three stacks. She gains a 12% elemental damage bonus when she has three stacks |
| Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds | Increases movement speed by 10%. When in battle, she gains an 8% elemental damage bonus every four seconds. Max four stacks. Lasts until she falls or leaves combat |
What are the best Genshin Yae Miko artifacts?
Unfortunately, Yae Miko doesn’t have a signature set that perfectly fits her kit. This means that her best artifacts are mostly two-piece combinations that offer flat stat increases.
Generally, a four piece Emblem of Severed Fate set is a good shout to ensure you can burst during every rotation. If that’s not your goal, then you can combine two pieces of Thundering Fury with any two-piece attack set to increase her personal damage. We’ve put Gladiator’s Finale in the table below as it is highly accessible, and more likely that you’ll get two pieces with good stats and sub-stats.
| Artifact set | Effect |
| Emblem of Severed Fate | Two equipped: energy recharge +20% Four equipped: increases elemental bust damage by 25% of energy recharge. You can obtain a maximum of 75% bonus damage in this way |
| Thundering Fury | Two equipped: Increases electro damage by 15% Four equipped: Increases damage caused by overload, electro-charged, and superconduct by 40%. Triggering these effects also decreases elemental skill cooldown by one second. This can only occur once every 0.8 seconds |
| Gladiator’s Finale | Two equipped: Increases attack by 18% Four equipped: If the wielder of this artifact set uses a sword, claymore, or polearm, their normal attack damage is increased by 35% |
Artifact stats and sub-stats
When it comes to stats and sub-stats, you want to balance energy recharge and Yae’s personal damage. If you’ve got an electro battery like Genshin Impact’s Fischl on her team, you should aim for 140-160% energy recharge to burst every rotation, and 140% energy recharge to burst every other rotation.
For a team that doesn’t have an electro battery, you’ll need over 200% energy recharge if you’re hoping to burst every rotation, or 140-170% energy recharge to burst every other rotation.
With that in mind, here are some of the best stats to focus on with Yae Miko’s artifacts.
Main stats
- Goblet – electro damage bonus
- Circlet – crit rate or damage (try to maintain a 1:2 rate to damage ratio)
- Sands – attack% or energy recharge
Sub-stats
- Energy recharge
- Crit rate/crit damage
- Attack%
- Attack
