Yae Miko abilities

Yae Miko is a five-star Electro Catalyst user. Her abilities, passive talents, and constellations are listed below.

Normal Attack: Spiritfox Sin-Eater

  • Normal attack: Summons forth kitsune spirits, initiating a maximum of three attacks that deal Electro damage.
  • Charged attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to deal AoE Electro damage after a short casting time.
  • Plunging attack: Plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path with thunderous might. Deals AoE Electro damage upon impact with the ground.

ELEMENTAL SKILL: Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura

Moves swiftly, leaving a Sesshou Sakura behind.

Sesshou Sakura:

• Periodically strikes one nearby opponent with lightning, dealing Electro damage
• When there are other Sesshou Sakura nearby, their level will increase,  boosting the damage dealt by their attacks

A maximum of three Sesshou Sakura can exist simultaneously. The initial level of each sakura starts at one, the highest level each sakura can reach is three.

ELEMENTAL BURST: Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin

Lightning plummets down, dealing AoE Electro damage. When she uses this skill, Yae Miko unseals nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Sky Kitsune Thunderbolts, dealing AoE Electro damage. Each Sesshou Sakura destroyed this way creates one descending thunderbolt.

Yae Miko passive talents

  • Meditations of a Wild Kitsune: When Yae Miko crafts character talent materials, she has a 25% chance to create an extra talent material from the same region of a random type. The rarity of this material will be the same as the materials consumed during crafting.
  • The Shrine’s Sacred Shade: Other nearby party members can decrease the cooldown of Yae Miko’s Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura. Hitting opponents with Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst damage decreases it by one second. This can occur once every 1.8 seconds.
  • Enlightened Blessing: Every point of Elemental Mastery Yae Miko possesses will increase Sesshou Sakura damage by 0.15%.

Yae Miko constellations
