Skill Kit Details & Leveling Priority

Yae Miko skill kit revolves mainly around her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst, allowing her to deal Electro damage to enemies even when she is completely off-field, making her an excellent Sub-DPS or Elemental Enabler in many different team comps.

Elemental Skill: Grants her 3 charges of Sesshou Sakura to use with low Cooldown. When used, Yae Miko will dash forward, dealing Electro damage to enemies in her way and leaving behind a Sesshou Sakura Totem, with up to 3 of these totems allowed on field at the same time. These totems will periodically deal Electro damage to enemies on the field, even when Yae Miko is switched off-field.

Elemental burst: Allows her to deal a massive burst of Electro damage towards the enemies. If there are Sesshou Sakura Totems on the field, the amount of Elemental Burst Blasts she deals will increase, from 1 up to 3 additional instances of damage.

Ascension Talents: Allows her to massively reduce her Elemental Skill Cooldown when she uses her Elemental Burst, with each additional damage blast resetting the cooldown of her skill charge, allowing her to put down her totems again right away. Additionally, the higher Yae Miko’s Elemental Mastery stat is, the more powerful the damage from these Totems will become

• In terms of skill leveling, players should level up Yae Miko’s Skill & Elemental Burst to improve her overall damage output and gameplay rotation. If players are aiming for a Sub-DPS or Main DPS Yae Miko Build, leveling up her Normal Attacks are also recommended.
