Best Genshin Impact Yae Miko build for DPS
Alternatives:Skyward Atlas, The Widsith, Favonius Codex
The obvious choice for Yae Miko’s weapon isKagura’s Verity, a 5-star Catalyst that was released alongside Yae Miko. It’s currently obtainable on the Weapon Event Wish banner and increases CRIT Rate, a stat that’s useful to have for Yae Miko’s Burst. In addition, it also provides a hefty boost to Elemental Skill DMG and Elemental DMG Bonus upon using an Elemental Skill, which is useful in creating a well-rounded build.
Unfortunately, having just released, Kagura’s Verity is quite the difficult weapon to obtain. If you’re unable to get your hands on the coveted Catalyst,Skyward Atlasis another great 5-star option. This versatile weapon increases Elemental DMG Bonus and has a random chance to deal massive amounts of ATK DMG to opponents upon using Normal Attacks. Be warned, though: this weapon is only useful if you’re using Yae Miko’s Normal Attacks frequently.
For players without 5-star weapons,The Widsithis a stellar option. This nifty Catalyst gives players taking the field a randomly selected boost to either Elemental Mastery, ATK, or Elemental DMG. All of these stats are excellent additions to Yae Miko’s kit, so it’s only fitting that The Widsith would work well alongside Yae. Finally, we’d also recommend theFavonius Codex, another great 4-star weapon that you’re likely to already have in your inventory. Upon getting a CRIT hit, this Catalyst has a chance to generate Elemental Particles that regenerate Energy. Nice!
Alternatives:Gladiator’s Finale, Emblem of Severed Fate
Since Yae Miko is a Catalyst user, all of her attacks involve Electro, so you’ll likely want to employ some Electro-boosting artifacts in her build. Thundering Fury is perfect for this — it grants a 15% Electro DMG bonus to its user. Using a 4-piece Thundering Fury set for Yae Miko works as well and will boost the damage done by Elemental Reactions, though if you’re using Yae Miko as a main DPS, you’re less likely to rely on Elemental Reactions, so we’d recommend combining a2-piece Thundering Fury set with a 2-piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence set, which will increase ATK by 18%.
Alternatively, you could employ theGladiator’s Finaleset instead of Shimenawa’s Reminiscence — these two have the same effect as 2-piece sets.Emblem of Severed Fatealso works well with Yae Miko, as it increases Energy Recharge by 20% and allows you to utilize Yae’s Burst more often. Regardless of which Artifacts you’re using, here are the stats and substats we’d recommend:
Yae Miko’sElemental SkillandElemental Burstare both impressively powerful moves that you’ll want to keep at relatively even levels. If Yae Miko is your main DPS, you’ll likely want to prioritize her Skill and follow with herNormal Attack, as you’ll be heavily relying on both of these for damage. Otherwise, prioritizing Yae’s Burst is a great idea, as this is arguably her best Talent and can absolutely destroy enemies if paired with good Artifacts and a strong Catalyst. Here’s what the rest of Yae Miko’s Talents have in store:
5* alternative:Raiden Shogun instead of Fischl
Keeping Yae Miko on a team with another Electro character will grant you the Electro Elemental Resonance bonus, which decreases the amount of time Hydro will affect your team. In addition, Elemental Reactions will generate Electro Elemental Particles, which help recharge Yae Miko’s useful Burst.Raiden Shogunis a great teammate for Yae Miko, though another Electro character likeFischlcould work wonders as well. In addition, pairing Yae Miko with a Hydro character (such asBarbara, who can also provide some solid heals for your team) will help deal massive amounts of damage through Elemental Reactions. If you’re really into using Elemental Reactions to deal damage, these can even be amplified with the help of a crowd control-oriented Anemo character such asSucroseorVenti.
To fully ascend Yae Miko, you’ll need:
Looking to round up these materials? You’ll be able to earn Vajrada Amethyst by defeating bosses like the Electro Hypostasis. Sea Ganoderma can be found in water throughout Inazuma. Finally, you’ll be able to fight Coral Defenders for their Dragonheir’s False Fins, while Nobushi and Kairagi will drop Handguards. You’ll also need quite a lot of Mora — we’ve listed all the best ways to get Mora in ourMora guide. Happy farming!

To triple crown Yae Miko’s talents, you’ll need to collect all of these materials three times over. Good luck! As always, you’ll be able to earn Handguards by defeating Nobushi and Kairagi. Light books are available at Violet Court on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The last step toward farming for Yae Miko’s Talents will be gathering The Meaning of Aeons, which can be earned through the End of the Oneiric Euthymia Trounce Domain.
Since she’s a limited 5-star character, Yae Miko’s Constellations are going to be pretty costly, so we’d only recommend wishing for the following if you’ve got some serious Primogems saved up or if you’re willing to spend actual money. That being said, Yae Miko’s best Constellation is definitelyConstellation 6, which allows her Elemental Skill to ignore an impressive 60% of an opponent’s DEF. A much easier Constellation to wish for isConstellation 1, which provides an immense boost to her very important Energy stat. Here’s what the rest of her Constellations offer:
