Yae Miko is one of the best Electro Sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact. While she may seem a bit difficult to build, she provides immense usefulness when it comes to triggering elemental reactions. All you have to do to make the most out of her is use her Elemental Skill thrice to summon three totems on the field that deal Electro DMG at certain intervals. Afterward, you can switch to your other units without worrying about the Electro application.
How to Play Yae Miko
As mentioned above, Yae Miko’s combo is quite simple. Here’s how it works:
- Upon taking the field, use Yae Miko’s Elemental Skill thrice to place three Sesshou Sakura totems on the field. Make sure to place them strategically to cover the area.
- Switch to your DPS and begin dealing damage while Yae’s totems rain down thunderbolts upon enemies.
Should you pull Yae Miko?
Yes, Yae Miko can be a valuable addition to your account if you are looking for a reliable Electro Sub-DPS character. However, if you already own units like Raiden Shogun and Ineffa, it may not be worth it to go for Yae as well since all three focus on doing the same thing.
