Yae isn’t just a regular shrine maiden, but is actually a descendant of Kitsune lineage, and serves the Electro archon in a similar way to how the Adeptus served Morax. In this build guide, we’ll go through her abilities, and what materials you’re going to need to stock up on to ascend her.

And that’s our Genshin Impact Yae Miko guide. If you’re planning to wish on any of the upcoming reruns in version 2.4, we have lists for both Zhongli materials and Ganyu materials. They’re the two reruns for the pre-Yae patch you may have picked up by now. For other potential new character reveals, the Kamisato Ayato release date may be of interest.

How to get Yae Miko in Genshin Impact

Yae, as a 5-Star unit, doesn’t appear often in Genshin Impact. Players wanting to pull for her will need to wait for her banner to get a rerun. Thankfully, during the second half of Version 3.2, she is getting her long-awaited first rerun, alongside Tartaglia.

Yae Miko’s banner will run from November 18 – December 7, 2022.

What are Yae Miko’s abilities

Yae’s kit focuses on the attack more than defence or support and makes her a quick and devastating Electro unit. You’ll need to use a good Catalyst weapon to keep up with her skills.

What are Yae Miko’s Constellations?

Every time you get a copy of a character, you’ll get an item called their Stella Fortuna – this will
unlock a Constellation: a new talent for the character. Here are Yae Miko’s:

What are the Yae Miko Ascension materials?

To begin, Yae will need the Vajrada Amethyst set of gems for her Ascension. These can be found as drops from Electro bosses like the Electro Hypostasis and Thunder Manifestation.

The local speciality item that Yae needs are Sea Ganoderma plants, found all over the coasts of Inazuma. You can also grow these in your Serenitea Pot. Next up are the overworld enemy drops – for this, you’ll need the Old, Kageuchi, and Famed Handguards. A lot of Inazuma characters need these – especially ones who are rerunning soon – so you’ll need to prioritise who to use them on!
