Yae Miko is an off-screen under-DPS character that places up to three totems. Each totem can destroy an enemy with Electro DMG. As a Catalyst Carrier, Yae Miko gives you some decent options to maximize her damage.
- Best 5 Star Weapon: He Kagura’s Truth is Yae Miko’s signature. Boosts his ATK up to 608 and his Crit DMG up to 66.2%. These are great stats, but more importantly, the passive directly buffs your Elemental Ability DMG by 12%, as well as an overall bonus of 12% Elemental DMG. These stat boosts complement Yae Miko’s playstyle, making her a great fit for her.
- Best 4-Star Weapon: He sun bead is a 4-star weapon available in the Battle Pass. Although you have to shell out money to equip this weapon, you will be rewarded with a 510 ATK bonus and a 27.6% boost to Yae Miko’s critical rate. The Sun Pearl increases her elemental ability and elemental burst by 20% respectively after performing a normal attack, which accounts for the majority of Yae Miko’s damage.
- Best Free Weapon: He Ancho is Yae Miko’s best free option. This weapon can be fired from all banners, making it easy to obtain for most players. Plus, it provides tons of useful buffs like Elemental Mastery and Crit DMG, and is a great backup option if you don’t have the weapons above.

- He Searing Fury 4 Pieces is one of Yae Miko’s best sets, thanks to the Electro DMG buff and increased damage from her Catalytic Reactions. Alternatively, you can also choose to just use a 2 Piece Searing Fury together and combine it with a +18% ATK established.
- He 4 Piece Separate Fate Emblem this is the best Yae Miko set if you want to increase her Elemental Burst DMG. While Yae Miko’s main utility is in her elemental ability, her elemental blast is still worth investing in, which makes this artifact set valuable to her.

Yae Miko’s top teams take advantage of elemental reactions. Yae Miko can act as her primary damage dealer, but she’ll likely use Yae Miko as a sub-DPS for different teams.
- Yae Miko / Nahida / Traveler Dendro / Kuki Shinobu: This team focuses on using the Aggravation reaction to deal heavy damage. Nahida, Yae Miko, and Dendro Traveler all coexist to deal heavy damage, while Kuki Shinobu offers some durability.
- Yae Miko/Raiden Shogun/Bennett/Kazuha: This team can create Overcharge Reactions and is one of the best teams for Raiden Shogun as a Hypercharger character.
