Yae Miko Gameplay
Yae Miko’s gameplay centers around her Elemental Skill, Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, which allows her to place Electro turrets on the field. These Sesshou Sakura periodically strike nearby opponents with Electro DMG, and their damage increases when multiple Sakura are active at the same time. This makes Yae Miko a strong off-field Electro Sub-DPS who provides consistent damage while allowing another character to stay on-field.
Her passive talent increases her Sesshou Sakura DMG based on her Elemental Mastery, giving her extra value in reaction-based teams. However, her main build still focuses on CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, and Electro DMG Bonus, since most of her damage comes from her Skill and Burst.
Her Elemental Burst, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, deals AoE Electro DMG and transforms nearby Sesshou Sakura into powerful Tenko Thunderbolts. While her Burst adds strong extra damage, Yae Miko’s main damage source still comes from her Sesshou Sakura, making her Elemental Skill the most important part of her overall performance.
Upcoming Stellar-Conduct Buffs (Version 6.7)
In the upcoming Version 6.7 / Luna VIII update, Yae Miko receives additional buffs through the Stellar-Conduct mechanic. These buffs activate when she enters the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state inside a Polestar Field, giving her new ways to enhance her off-field Electro damage.
The core buff upgrades Yae Miko’s Sesshou Sakura interactions. When there are at least three Sesshou Sakura nearby, using Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura triggers an additional Electro strike based on Yae Miko’s ATK. Under Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, this extra strike becomes stronger and is also considered Stellar-Conduct DMG.
Overall, the Stellar-Conduct buff does not change Yae Miko’s role as an off-field Electro Sub-DPS, but it improves her damage potential in teams that can activate Polestar Field. Players should still focus on CRIT stats, ATK%, Electro DMG Bonus, and weapons or artifacts that strengthen her Sesshou Sakura and Burst damage.
Yae Miko Talent Priority
Yae Miko’s talent priority heavily focuses on her Elemental Skill, since most of her damage comes from her Sesshou Sakura attacks. Her Elemental Burst is also important for stronger burst windows, while her Normal Attack has very low priority in most builds.
Standard Talent Priority
| Talent | Priority |
| Elemental Skill (Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura) | ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Highest) |
| Elemental Burst (Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin) | ★ ★ ★ ★ (High) |
| Normal Attack (Spiritfox Sin-Eater) | ★ ★ (Low) |
Elemental Skill – Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura
Level her Elemental Skill first and take it as high as possible. Yae Miko’s main damage comes from her Sesshou Sakura, which remain on the field and periodically deal Electro DMG to nearby enemies. Since her gameplay revolves around placing these turrets and maintaining consistent off-field Electro pressure, this talent has the biggest impact on her overall DPS.
Elemental Burst – Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin
Level her Elemental Burst second. Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin deals AoE Electro DMG and converts nearby Sesshou Sakura into powerful Tenko Thunderbolts, giving Yae Miko strong burst damage during her rotation. With the Stellar-Conduct buff, her Burst remains valuable because it helps reset Skill charges through her passive, allowing her to quickly rebuild Sesshou Sakura uptime after using her Burst.
Normal Attack – Spiritfox Sin-Eater
Level her Normal Attack last. Yae Miko’s Normal and Charged Attacks can deal Electro DMG, but they are not her main source of damage in most team compositions. Since she is usually played as an off-field Electro Sub-DPS, players should prioritize her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst before investing heavily into her Normal Attack.
Yae Miko Best Weapons
Yae Miko’s best weapon depends on availability and team composition. For Electro Sub-DPS builds, CRIT weapons are ideal. Her signature weapon and other strong 5-star Catalysts provide her best performance, while several 4-star options remain solid alternatives for players without premium weapons.

Yae Miko Best Artifacts & Stats
Yae Miko’s optimal artifact set depends on whether you focus on maximizing her Sesshou Sakura damage or build her around Aggravate, Superconduct, and Stellar-Conduct setups.
- Golden Troupe: The best overall set for Yae Miko in most scenarios. It provides a massive boost to Elemental Skill DMG, perfectly complementing her Sesshou Sakura, which are her main source of damage. Since Yae Miko usually deals damage from off-field, she can make excellent use of this set’s full effect.
- Disenchantment in Deep Shadow: A strong alternative for Stellar-Conduct teams. This set focuses on Superconduct and Stellar-Conduct DMG, making it especially valuable when Yae Miko is used in teams that can activate Polestar Field and take advantage of her updated buff.

Yae Miko Best Team Compositions
Yae Miko works best as an off-field Electro Sub-DPS supported by characters who can improve her Sesshou Sakura damage, enable Electro reactions, or increase her overall team utility. Her most common teams focus on Aggravate, Overloaded, and Electro-Charged setups, while the new Stellar-Conduct buff opens a new team direction built around Polestar Field.
1. Aggravate Team
Aggravate teams are one of Yae Miko’s strongest compositions, allowing her to take advantage of consistent Electro application and Dendro reactions. These teams greatly increase the value of her Sesshou Sakura damage while keeping her flexible as either the main Electro damage dealer or an off-field Sub-DPS.
| Main DPS | Support 1 | Support 2 | Sustain |
Yae Miko (5★) | Nahida (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Zhongli (5★) |
Yae Miko (5★) | Nahida (5★) | Kazuha (5★) | Baizhu (5★) |
Tighnari (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Nahida (5★) | Kuki (4★) |
Alhaitham (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Baizhu (5★) |
2. Overloaded Team
Overloaded teams pair Yae Miko with Pyro characters to trigger frequent Overloaded reactions. These teams work especially well with Chevreuse, who improves Pyro and Electro team performance while helping Yae Miko contribute consistent off-field Electro damage through her Sesshou Sakura.
| Main DPS | Support 1 | Support 2 | Sustain |
Arlecchino (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Durin (5★) | Chevreuse (4★) |
Yoimiya (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Chevreuse (4★) |
Raiden (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Chevreuse (4★) | Bennett (4★) |
3. Electro-Charged Team
Electro-Charged teams focus on constant Electro and Hydro application, allowing Yae Miko to deal steady off-field damage while other teammates drive reactions. These teams are comfortable, flexible, and especially strong when paired with Fischl, Hydro supports, and Anemo units for grouping or resistance shred.
| Main DPS | Support 1 | Support 2 | Sustain |
Yae Miko (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Furina (5★) | Jean (5★) |
Yae Miko (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Kazuha (5★) | Kokomi (5★) |
Tartaglia (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Fischl (4★) | Sucrose (4★) |
4. Stellar-Conduct Team (Version 6.7+)
With the Stellar-Conduct buff, Yae Miko gains a new team direction focused on Polestar Field. In these teams, she works as an off-field Electro Sub-DPS, using her Sesshou Sakura to provide consistent Electro damage while her teammates help trigger Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct and maintain the value of her enhanced Stellar-Conduct interactions.
| Main DPS | Support 1 | Support 2 | Sustain |
Wriothesley (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Sandrone (5★) | Qiqi (5★) |
Wriothesley (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Sandrone (5★) | Nicole (5★) |
Wriothesley (5★) | Yae Miko (5★) | Sandrone (5★) | Escoffier (5★) |
Yae Miko Constellations
Yae Miko is already a complete Electro Sub-DPS at C0, so her constellations are not required to make her work well in Aggravate, Overloaded, Electro-Charged, or Stellar-Conduct teams. Pulling for constellations mainly increases her Sesshou Sakura damage, improves her Energy management, and strengthens her team support value. With the Stellar-Conduct buff, her key constellations gain more value by improving Electro DMG, Stellar-Conduct DMG, Elemental Mastery bonuses, and her enhanced off-field damage windows.
C1 Performance
C1 is now a much stronger early constellation for Yae Miko, especially in Stellar-Conduct teams. It restores Energy when Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin activates Tenko Thunderbolts, making her expensive Burst easier to use. With the new buff, C1 also gives nearby party members a 50% Electro DMG and Stellar-Conduct DMG Bonus for 10s after Yae Miko triggers Superconduct, triggers Stellar-Conduct, or deals Stellar-Conduct DMG. This makes C1 a valuable stopping point for players who want better Burst uptime and stronger team damage.
C2 Performance
C2 is one of Yae Miko’s best constellations for improving her Sesshou Sakura performance. It makes each Sakura start at Level 2, increases their maximum level to 4, and expands their attack range by 60%. With the updated effect, C2 also increases Yae Miko’s and the current active character’s Elemental Mastery by 60 / 90 / 120 / 200 points, depending on the level of the Sesshou Sakura. This makes C2 especially valuable in Aggravate and reaction-based teams, while still improving her general off-field Electro damage.
C4 Performance
C4 gives Yae Miko stronger team support and better personal damage. When Sesshou Sakura lightning hits enemies, all nearby party members gain a 20% Electro DMG Bonus for 5s, while Yae Miko also regenerates 8 Energy. This Energy recovery can trigger once every 5s, helping smooth out her rotation and making her Burst easier to use consistently. The additional 100% Elemental Burst DMG also makes Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin much more impactful during burst windows.
C6 Performance
C6 is Yae Miko’s strongest constellation and gives her the biggest personal damage increase. Her Sesshou Sakura attacks ignore 60% of enemy DEF, greatly improving her off-field DPS. With the Stellar-Conduct buff, C6 becomes even more powerful because Yae Miko’s Stellar-Conduct DMG gains an additional 200% CRIT DMG. This makes her C6 extremely strong in updated Polestar Field teams, giving her a much higher damage ceiling while keeping her core playstyle focused on Sesshou Sakura and off-field Electro pressure.
Conclusion
This comprehensive guide demonstrates Yae Miko’s position as one of the most reliable off-field Electro Sub-DPS characters in Genshin Impact. Her consistent damage through Sesshou Sakura, powerful Tenko Thunderbolts, and strong Electro reaction synergy make her a flexible choice for Aggravate, Overloaded, Electro-Charged, and Stellar-Conduct team compositions. While her Elemental Burst has a high Energy Cost, her off-field damage output and flexible rotations allow her to perform well when supported by the right weapons, artifacts, and teammates.
With the Stellar-Conduct buff, Yae Miko receives important enhancements that improve her value in teams built around Polestar Field. The addition of stronger Sesshou Sakura interactions, ATK-based Electro damage, and extra Stellar-Conduct DMG gives her a higher damage ceiling while keeping her core gameplay focused on Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura, Electro damage, and off-field pressure. These updates help Yae Miko stay relevant in the evolving meta without changing her identity as a powerful Electro Sub-DPS.
