While I still love Yae Miko and enjoy using her, it's undeniable that her base kit has major issues that are holding her back. Hopefully some of these issues will be resolved with time, indirect buff etc. but I suppose we'll see with time. TOP 5 BEST YAE MIKO TEAMS: ruclips.net/video/1ZzYFWETOEo/видео.html Honest C0 Yae Miko Review: ruclips.net/video/7FtCdIORdIw/видео.html Follow me on TWITTER: 🕊 twitter.com/arkrevnerplays
*Jean* : She refunds 15 energy for herself after using burst.(Character kit) *Venti* : He refunds 15 energy for himself and those characters that corresponds to the element that his burst absorbed.(Character kit) *Yae* : She refunds too... *but it's locked behind C1* . What a clown world
I agree with the hype. Her character in the games storyline is amazing but as a playable character she has a lot of things that easily could've been better. I won't discount her too soon tho, everyone said the same about Kokomi and to a point Yoimiya. And people skipped Kazuha for his lack of hype either. Hoyoverse likes improving things later on in the game to extend playability and longevity. Yae C1 is proof enough that Mihoyo has had plans on her and its implemented on her development.
Personally, I like her kit; we definitely needed another 5 star main dps catalyst that wasn't Klee. But the main issue for me is that they never buff characters who need it unless the entirety of the player base screams at them to do so.
She is amazing dude and I'm not even running her with another Electro. She's the only character I actually spent to pull her full Constellations cause even at Level 70 and R5 Oathworns Eye. I was Taking out Level 90 mobs in Three Gates in under a minute after I memorized her steps for her Elemental Skill, since I did that. It made me pull C6.
i dont see how her C1 is proof that mhy has plans for her. if anything, it shows they plan on doing this with all their characters (create a problem and offer solution in their cons) to grab cash
@@ARMYALEX1869 This is what makes me irritated bro (not you by the way) For years now all games cost money for items, skins, weapons. Etc, etc. Hoyoverse actually made a REAL open world Free 2 Play game. You just gotta farm hard and build the characters you get. This new generation playing Genshin get mad cause us spenders are pulling C6 5 Stars. Like I bust my ass for my money dude and I'm 35 with 2 kids who also spend. And I grew up in a generation where you just bought the console and game. Nowadays kids are so lazy and greedy they want HoyoVerse just to give them entirely everything they developed for free which is their job. Like dude get the hell up and get a job if you want Constellations so bad like everyone else or if you mad young do good in school and do some chores for your parents and maybe they'll bless you with a Google Play Gift Card. I just never seen so much hate from a younger generation in a game cause they have bad luck or don't wanna farm and get better items to boost for free. This been a weight on my shoulders since the first 2 weeks playing Genshin. People in comments on forums or Google Play people saying another Money Grabber. But legit this is 100% F2P you just gotta put the time in and half of them don't even read Item Descriptions, They rather watch a streamer build his own builds and do all the work for them. Just saying this is a HUGE problem in the Open World MMORPGs that have options of spending and extra benefits. These kids, teenagers and young adults need to grow up. Gaming is a legit business. Developers just found a way to pay their bills faster. Don't hate because they were the smart ones
Yae is definitely a character that I really believe the dev team went above and beyond styling her animations and design. Not only that, her lore makes her out to suggest that she is extremely powerful. I think this is also why people are more disappointed, they put such wonderful aesthetics and design into a more sub par unit than expecting, and brings mixed feelings into pulling for her.
She actually isn't that bad if you have c6 Sucrose and Kazuha with her. She hits like a truck under the right team people are just getting mad that most carries now don't benefit from Bennet.
What's depressing is that Mihoyo never fix a character directly unless there's a huge backlash like back then with zhongli. Even with her optimal artifact I don't think she will be much good. Gotta hope grass+electro reaction is worth sth.
Yup, they won't fix shit unless you involve their government (which I still think is a really dumb thing to do). Keqing mains and others should just accept the fact that they will never buff characters in the next ten centuries, lol.
there is no way they can do a direct buff to yae because they did buff zhongl and he is became so op that they are trying to nerf him with these new wolfhounds and anti shield mobs but still zhongli is very useful
I never expected Yae to be the next Ganyu level of power, but I also did not expect her to be so clunky. The main issues I have with her skill are needing to be case 3 times to be usable, no i-frame/super armour, being destroyed and needing to be cast again when she ults, not snap shotting, and only outputtting 5 Electro particles in 15 seconds. I think it can be fixed with either needing to cast only once to place all 3, don't destroy them when casting her ult, or give i-frames. Heck, Fischl is a better meta unit than Yae at this stage.
Did the beta testers not relay all that in feedback? At the very least the thing is not at all game breaking for her. Why not just give it to her? The only thing I can expect is them holding off on a busted artifact set for her. Or that they held back with soon to come Dendro reactions in mind, whatever they are.
My main problem with Yae are her constellations. If c1 and c2 where parts of her kit at c0 and her c1 and c2 were replace by more team supportive type constellations (attack speed, resistance to disruption, etc) it will make Yae feel more valuable.
It's the overhype that did it for me. Like you said - clunky, energy hungry, super-niche or high investment characters aren't necessarily bad at all - heck I regularly use Tohma in Abyss and I don't regret how much I had to invest into him to do that - but the way the community acts so betrayed when they turn out to be that way reveals a lot of really unrealistic expectations. Remember when everyone was calling Tohma "pyro Xingqiu"? Not every character is going to be the next Ganyu, nor should they be! Imagine if every subsequent release was the next Ganyu or Hu Tao, that if every month you had to shell out to get the next main DPS just to keep up with the content and never any new supports or sub-DPSes. No one would be playing this game anymore! Edit since people are getting feisty with me in the replies: I'm not saying that Yae doesn't have issues or that people are wrong to be disappointed, I agree that her lack of s and inability to snapshot were bad decisions and I'm pretty leery of how HYV is currently only pumping out extremely energy hungry characters. Fans having unrealistic expectations in general doesn't make that not true. My original point was only that if every new 5 star was a main DPS hypercarry - as fans seemed to think Yae would be - it would get really boring really fast and we'd have powercreep out the wazoo.
Though I agree with you I also think we should have some expectations or standards for characters. For me I always expect a kit that comes together seamlessly and a decent power level for overworld. And if a character has limited utility or a bit of a clunky kit, their power level should make up for it. This is because not just primogems but also resources are very limited. So if we have to decide between a bunch of characters, I'd rather be undecided amongst a lot of good options rather than a few good ones and a lot of meh ones. I think if Yae's kit was more polished or creative, the backlash would not have been as bad. I adore Thoma so I pulled for him regardless. But I don't have Hu Tao, and his low power level and kit that's clunky outside of his niche means he'll be shelved indefinitely. Especially because I have a built Zhongli, Xinyan and Diona. It just feels like a massive waste of a character when the game has barely scratched the surface when it comes to unique characters.
The people who initially said he was like "pyro Xingqiu" meant it as "hey their skills and bursts are similar". But a lot of people assumed that it meant power level, mostly in the way of pyro application. I still don't understand how people still get so overhyped about damage potential of characters, I just look roughly at how their talents work to see if they interest me.
It's just people like yae people expect her to be good. When she is just a regular mediocre character. The hype just kills it for me Also PLEASE STOP gating people from getting good characters. It would be nice to get another ganyu, or hutao,or a good dps. The current content is hard enough that nobody can just cheese the game even with them. As you can see they are ALREADY making the content harder and harder and dps checking everything yet they arent givinf us characters or option to make up for it. There is no reason for you to be so anti-meta and anti-dmg therefore saying its okay for mihoyo to make characters kit worse and worse and never giving us a good one ever again.
Well this wouldn't have been an issue if they had fixed the 3 problem children to begin with. Bennet, Xiangling and Xingqui shouldn't be as successful as they are and make the game extremely unhealthy.
As someone said “I’d pull for her even if she healed the enemy” I don’t regret my decisions lol. But I wouldn’t complain if they gave her super armor or i-frames on her skill. And if dendro winds up pairing well with electro then I’ll have a yae, raiden, kokomi, (dendro) team to look forward to.
I wouldn't really say i-frames or super armor, using the skill as an evasion tool is an interesting concept, since they did that in the trailer, there should at least be some sort of buff obtained when evading attacks with her skill.
Just a note, having used C0 Hu Tao since her release, and getting her C1 over Homa in the rerun, I actually wanna say that C1 doesn’t really add that much. It makes her a bit more convenient to use, but it hardly adds any damage, and it’s just a “nice to have” rather than a “must have”.
As someone who has a C0 Xiao, C0 Ganyu abd C0 Zhongli in different accounts, CONSTELLATIONS MEAN NOTHING so long as you build them up or find work arounds in each characters play styles
yea, you need preffectly dash cancel to make use that C1 for 1-2 extra charge atk. but its kinda hard for me. thats why i straight go for Homa for surely Damage Increase.
You're totally right about the hype... people pulled for her and spent SO many primos before even seeing if she was a good fit for them. Luckily there are people like you who generously share ur knowledge 💖
@@cosmicjules don't feel so bad. Some people like me pulled for her because we just like her. She's one of my favs so I'm not even disappointed that she's underwhelming.
Leakers called her "The DPS ceiling for electro" so of course people felt very disapointed about her, she is a 5 out 10 character at best, a 5 star fischl with higher dmg but with a lot of clunkyness attached to it, and unlike fischl, yae does not offer anything of value outside of damage (which to be honest even her burst feels underwhelming in terms of damage having 60% of ayaka dmg instead of dealing more dmg than ayaka's burst or at least yae's ult having ayaka's ult multipliers), Yae is pretty much a softer version of the pre-buff Zhongli fiasco, a very hyped character murdered by a clunky kit and bad numbers.
@ShiroChanSensei yae Miko is really underwhelming fischel is good support for electro but yae Miko is supposed to be main DPS but her damage is mid-high at best.
Never take leakers/Beta testers seriously. They are your average casual players if not lesser. They're not theorycrafters. Almost every TC prediction of them has been wrong post release. We can do nothing except wait for her artifact set. I find her decent still. But that could just be the team I'm using around her. Since I'm using Kazuha,Raiden etc. Plus it's nice to have a hands off character while farming mobs.
@ShiroChanSensei lmao xdd 🤣😂bruh i am losing brain cells here what is she ? electro support who needs a battery for herself lmao 🤣 does subpar off field electro dps 🤣🤣 which requires 6s every now and then with 90 burst cost lmao while her cons scream damage . Welp i am dying from ur idiocy
@ShiroChanSensei "clunkiness can be replaced by skill which makes it fun", I disagree with this part. While I have Yae and love her, my main problem with her is her E has NO . And that's not just clunkiness, that's bad gameplay design on Mihoyo part, we can't defend this kind of shitty design. Since there is no fucking reason for her E to have no . Like Ganyu E has , why Yae E doesn't, that makes no sense. It likes Mihoyo purposely criple her, in their "tryhard" attempt to NOT create any power-crept unit. Also most likely in an attempt to force players to cough out money to purchase solutions to her problem, such as her constellations or certain character(s) to pair with her (like Raiden, Zhongli, etc.) ANd why I still enjoy Yae. Well, because I have Zhongli, and with his shield my Yae don't have to deal with the problem of NO on her E. This is not really a "clunkiness can be replaced by skill" in this case, it's more about if you can afford Zhongli or not.
You should add a reason #11: Yae Miko’s turret’s targeting AI can and will often focus other objects or entities such as braziers, stoves, torches, etc., and just simply not even strike an actual enemy, which when combined with the next fact about her Elemental Skill makes it even worse, and that is reason #12: Turrets don’t do any form of AoE damage. I’ve had someone even tell me when you use Yae Miko against Dvalin, her turrets will actually strike the friggin anemogranas instead of the HUMONGOUS FLYING LIZARD.
I think hoyoverse is playing it safe here. They can always release a new artifact set or a dedicated support later if a character is underwhelming but they cannot directly nerf a character after thier releases. So if you already had 2 strong teams for the abyss or just doesn't care about it at all, play whoever you like. It's just a shame because her NA animation is so beautiful but utterly useless . Other than that, she's fine imo.
I don't think the hype behind her was at fault, well the hype wasn't because of the kit, most people pull for character related reasons and they want the character they pulled to be strong.
I was always a little weirded out and confused by people who were hyping up this character for a year and saving everything they obtained over that year for her before she was even a character that could be played.
I'm guilty of your comment 😭 But I dont regret pulling for her despite her issues because electro is my fave element. I literally started saving all my primos after I got Raiden (200 wishes saved with Welkin Moon)
@@ArkRevnerPlays I'm kinda glad that I lost the 50/50 for her, I think I got caught up in the hype right before her release but I played her test run and it's not my personal favorite. But on the bright side I have the next 5 star guaranteed, so I'll be saving for a potential kazuha rerun, whenever that happens
I don't really mind if people are eager for their waifu/husbando, as love doesn't mean meta. And usually these people are willing to work with the flaws, but wouldn't mind buffs/fixes. It's a common phenomenon in gacha games where players get excited for a possible playable character. You can usually find NUMEROUS examples in other games, such as Arknights, Granblue Fantasy, FGO, etc. (tldr: SIMPING) However, people setting up their expectations on her gameplay before her official release is risking themselves getting disappointed. I partly blame leakers here for feeding the hype.
I enjoy playing her, but I _definitely_ want her Normals to do more damage, her E to , and her Burst to recharge a bit better. I don't think any of this would be unbalanced, even all at once. She is just not a great sub-DPS, due to the impossible to avoid field-time issues you raised earlier, so the least they can do it make her a top tier on-field DPS.
She should be a 5☆ version of fischl, sara and beidou, not the exact same as them Given how hard content is with the dps checks and how the other characters perform they could've done that and she still will never powercreep anyone or trivialize the game, so why not?
I think their artifact and character releases are staggered as a business strategy. Sometimes their sales strategy for the first run is waifu/story appeal so they build up maximizing that and neglecting the meta players is no big deal. Then if later indirect buffs boost that character in the meta they can sell the character to a different set of people in the rerun. It also lets them balance characters with new kind of kits based on the data that they'll gather from the abyss. Sometimes they do the opposite. Raiden was already the center of the story a patch before she came out and she also had the Emblem set come out a patch before so we could prefarm... and magically they've only done this once coinciding with the one shop reset. Most likely they will do a similar thing to game sales for the next shop reset, maybe with the dendro archon. Me, I love Yae and her different type of a kit too. She showed up twice in the same 10 pull for me though so I ended up never experiencing the energy problems.
This makes a lot of sense. I was planning to get miko on her rerun but she decided to come home at 24 pity and honestly i am loving her. She is beautiful. I love the playstyle
I didn't get her because of her playstyle & the constellation. The mihoyo company ruined it for me. I really wanted her too but the mihoyo company did her wrong. It a fucking shame
I only got back into the game a few months ago, so I didn’t have the same level of hype as others for this unit. When I looked at her kit, I saw she didn’t fit anywhere, so I waited for release and reviews - and will continue to hold until we hear about Ayato’s kit.
They should make a Hold E option that deploys all three totems in a cone pattern immediately + iFrame. That would make her gameplay immensely more enjoyable and less clunky.
Naw she's a high skill ceiling unit for a reason. She will require a hard team to pull of her damage at her highest dps. C6 Sucrose, Kazuha, Sara/Fischl/Raiden/Lisa and Yae makes her damage monstrous. She will get the added damage from the Sucrose+Kazuha em synergy while also getting fed particles by her battery.
I was honestly SO disappointed when she was released. Her design, personality, involvement in the main storyline, everything about her was so cool. When she was released, however, I wasn’t upset that she wasn’t this op hypercarry that she was hyped to be. I was upset that nothing in her kit made sense! She has a 90 energy cost; her skill is clunky, has to placed in a particular way and is vulnerable to interrupts (even though she’s dashing around literally like Hu Tao does); and then she gets a bonus from EM instead of ER (unlike every other Inazuman Electro character). They also made her skill unable to snapshot. Since the EM rework and the release of weapons like Elegy, the majority of abilities and characters that revolve around EM have been unable to snapshot. In some instances like swirl, it’s cool. Especially if you pulled Elegy. But now it seems like they gotten into the habit of manufacturing these issues to sell you a solution or “benefit”. Constellations like C1 Childe and Hu Tao are a convenience. Yae Miko’s feels like a requirement. That’s why she’s a skip for me now.
i love yae but i have one more problem that wasn't mentioned on the video.. her burst keeps missing targets constantly. if they get knocked back due to overload, there's a jean or ningguangs burst in co-op, she will end up missing the target completely. or only the initial lightning hits the opponent and - worst case scenario - 3 others miss. it's So frustrating especially since i have to wait a long time to cooldown and recharge the burst
it's no different from other character. Raiden's burst can miss on fast moving enemies. Eula can miss her burst if enemies fly or teleported like those wolves, PMA, etc. Ayaka's burst can miss if the enemies are freed from being frozen or against bosses who moves a lot.
@@いざ身雪気 yes, i know. but this is especially frustrating with yae since she locks all 3 (4 with the initial lightning) in one place. she doesn't lock on the enemy but the ground. which means she keeps missing the actual enemies if they move just a little bit. i wasn't talking about fast moving enemies or teleporters, that's a whole different chapter
Until seeing different youtube videos, i didnt even know people didnt like her. I did pull for her and I do like her; I now almost feel "guilty" for liking her/getting her. I have a ganyu too, and I have devoted a lot of resources to Ganyu, but as a F2P I practically ignore 5* constellations. I guess I like yae because she so different from my main carry and she allows me to switch things up. She isnt particularly strong, but I didnt need her to be to be satisfied. Hearing peoples' concerns is eye opening though. It'd be cooler if she was more accessible, but that's a futile request for a limited gacha character. Releasing an artifact set could help, but one could argue that most sets that benefit her would slot into her competition just as easily. Kinda growing bored of people identifying flaws and seeing people in comments brag about how happy they are with the character; lording this over others like a prize... I'm fine with Yae, but I havent been as "happy" as I was with other characters. I will devote more resources to her in the future, as they come, but she's "okay" as she is and that is enough for me
🌸🌺It is not shock to be yielded with respect to Yae Miko, there was no way she could live up to the unrealistic hype which surrounded her and it was bound to be she would not release to satisfactory standard!🌺🌸
I agree, people REALLY over hyped her. I do think there are legitimate issues with her kit, but I doubt she could have met the unrealistic expectations regardless.
Hype is just one aspect of it. But as a DPS, she doesn't even bring the numbers. Either an artifact set will fix her or they held back with soon to come dendro reactions in mind, whatever that is.
Honestly, the 3 dashes ability and the fact that her burst is stronger when all three are out, makes me happy to have her as main dps, bc I feel she needs to stay present for the majority of the time, instead of just be a burst explosion. I get that personal opinion is way less valuable than meta, but I love the way she is (except the constellation part bc as a f2p I can only care about her C0)
honestly i like that her ult costs 90 energy because that means raiden's E increases her burst more than anyone elses, seeing as how yae miko is raidens familiar and best friend this is a nice flavour imo. A lot of other points remain tho.
Yes if you have raiden Not everyone has raiden Pulling another 5☆ cost primos Same as how yae with her constellation and signature weapon is fantastic They are encouraging you to whale and ppl may not like that
@@kittenmimi5326 well many chars get better with signature weapons, esp for yae cause catalysts are bad for now. I have many gripes with yae but needing a battery or her having extra synergy with Raiden isn't one of them. I wouldn't call 2 5stars working well together whale incentive btw. Rather c6 power spike, but Raiden having a c2 power spike was just rare
for me her problem is Energy and The amount of field time she need to recash the tottem. The dmg factor actually fine, and im using Millith set for permanent 20% atk boost for the team. i hope somehow she can place all her tottem in one Hold E.
@@alanea5860 a five star? _seriously_ ? You expect people to just have a 5☆ lying around to support a subdps? Also shogun dmg is burst, e is for electro appli/energy it procs only like 4k lol
@@kittenmimi5326 well shogun is most rolled character in history of genshin = basically most common 5* dont blame me if shes kinda must have to make yae miko work .... its still way cheapet than getting high constelations and no one holds you from using Ei burst as well many 5* need another 5* to be effective ... like xiao + jean or zhongli eula and shenhe
@@alanea5860 errrrr..... if she need another *5 unit to work with, then its another point for me that she becoming the worst, especially just for batery. i have try fischl as batery but you still need certain amount of ER like 130-150 to make her burst viable each rotation. what i talk here is her viabillity as *5 unit.
I wished for her as soon as she came out based on design and won my 50/50. I’m currently playing Hu Tao, Xinqiu, Ganyu and Yae and I can actually say she adds a lot of consistent electro damage to my team. While her burst doesn’t do as much damage as I want I’ll keep building her, because I think every character can be good if you want them to be, with the right build. It really just depends on who you want to play, and in the end, it’s just a game and people can play it however they want. (Really good video though like always!)
wishing this on the next patch Yae miko buff⏫: *Increases yae miko's Aoe on Elemental skill strike. *increases yae miko's Elemental burst Aoe. *When cast Elemental skill She will summon seshu sakura much faster. *increases yae miko's Normal Atk range. *increases yae miko's Normal Atk dmg. *increases yae miko's Elemental skill Range *Yae miko's elemental skill will strike 1.5s instead of 2s *Every strike of seshu sakura will generate a electro particle *Increases yae miko's charge Atk casting much faster. *Whenever yae miko summon a seshu sakura will ignore interuption but will receive dmg. *When yae miko hits an enemy the seshu sakura will prioritize it. Bug⏬: When yae miko cast her Elemental Skill under water she will continue to do her post. Her seshu sakura cannot hit a prioritize thing. Thankyou i hope this will happen✅🛡️
This video pretty much sums up everything that concerns me when using Yae Miko specially the iFrame part during the E skill dash. I got jebaited by this at her trailer.. i thought she could dodge an attack with E skill but nope. She either dies in 2 hits from certain bosses or get knockback and fly away while trying to place 3 totems. Also, good thing you mentioned the C1 and C2 constellations too because I thought about it too. They REALLY hold back her potential to be a great character. (Shes great and fun but very lacking).
We really need to show our disappointment regarding Yae's functionality during the Survey. I recall Mona's Sprint being lowkey buffed some patches ago as it was too slow, so they can solve the E problem with a I Window and quicker animation. After that and her Artifact Set, she is in the sweet spot of a niche yet fun character
I've been extensively playing with my Yae Miko for a week now and the majority of the problems that have been bugging me the most are mechanical issues. When I compare let's say Xiao or Sucrose and you are putting down multiple elemental skills at once. Xiao's elemental skill animation is really fast so the next instance your finger presses the skill button you can immediately perform another one, with Sucrose I believe is the same where you can activate another instance of the elemental skill while the previous one's animation effects haven't even finished yet. With Yae Miko you cannot simply spam the skill button to perform all of them and you need to wait for a certain split second before you can perform the next one. So when you are locked in this animation you cannot dodge away and you end up getting hit and knocked back because there are no s and you can't even dodge in the middle of it. It doesn't help either that her auto attacks are already incredibly slow for a catalyst, paired with that slow skill cast time - If you were trying to solo Raiden Shogun with Yae, your greatest threat to your existence is when Raiden plops down the three electroculi since Yae's autos are so slow it feels like a 50 50 you would die from it exploding or manage to survive just a split second away from death. There are also scenarios you would get stuck on an inclined surface and trying to elemental skill your way out of it won't work and causes you to eat one of your totems which creates annoyances, this is the Ayaka and Mona dash all over again.
I was a bit underwhelmed by Yae Miko, obviously yme being f2p i only got her as C0 but that is because i was expecting her to be a main dps but her scaling is so low, later i realized that she is more of a sub dps and i just didn't care as much after that. So, I've built her with a R5 Widsith and 2 piece thundering fury with 2 piece glad with 81 criit rate an 214 crit dmg with 145 ER but I'm no longer using her, still sticking with my normal ganyu team Edit: I think I should use her still to get that friendship level 10 If u guys have extra primo gems, save it for Raiden banner maybe to get C2 Raiden instead of Yae Miko is what I'd suggest anyone talking about hype, I don't think anyone should dare comparing any character with ganyu, she still is THE BEST DPS in the game, one cant just compare anyone to ganyu, that comparison holds a lot of weight, one mustn't compare mere mortal dps to a ungodly amount of dps that ganyu provides
err no her scaling is very high but you pretty much need raiden to make her viable ( it solves her energy issues + her foxes can proc assisted attacks + shogun increase burst damage)
I was mostly after Thoma constellations since Zhongli didn't run up but got Yae pretty early. Since I went in with the expectation of "Fischl but with a nuke," and happened to have Lost Prayer and good enough artifacts to hit 80/160 crit stats and 170% ER on her she's been pretty nice to have. I generally run her on either my Raiden/Eula team with Diona, or with the C2 Keqing I got from Zhongli's banner in an EC comp and have no issues funding her burst at C0. But I guess that's more just Yae giving a purpose to some 5* debris I had from poor standard banner luck. Just gotta find a home for Skyward Atlas now.
So true! I feel like recent characters are defective and the only way to "fix" them is through obtaining constellations. Unlike 4 star characters, they get better when constellations are unlocked. For 5 stars, they get "fixed".
@Preetish Pratihari you fix her energy ..... but stíll lack - % burst dmg , - assisted attack spammed by foxes - another 5* to utilize her unusually low downtime and getting shogun in upcoming banned is 110% time better than another yae its top tier character fiting in most strong parties
I wanted her since I watch her rol on the story, I heard she would be busted and such but so I heard from Kokomi so I was cautious with my expectations. In the end I think she's kinda like Shenhe, expensive to reach its maximun potential and dependant on full 5* teams. It's like a trend on Hoyoverse lately. I pulled for Yae anyway and I enjoyed her gameplay and design, but I cannot recommend her to a new player nor anyone that only factors the meta aspect of a character on their choice.
Idk how they release a character like yae miko with so much problems and they had mounths to work on her ... they really need to fix her but i dont think they will even care its just so sad 😔
90 energy cost to sell her C1, triple EEE to sell her signature weapon. Instead of making a good catalyst for most character, they can make specific 5 star weapon that is good for specific character. No reason to see why she need to cast totemx3. While 1 would have suffice if they design it like that. Feels like they purposely scuffed her kit.
honestly Im so glad I like her, I saved up primos and money for a few months to get her! My new favourite for sure :) I use her with my Rosaria, Sucrose and Bennett and am having a blast :)
With the Sumeru fast approaching and New Reaction Catalyze is revealed. I do hope this will make Yae Miko shine. If the Catalyze reaction will be the same as Vape and Melt then the Elemental Mastery scaling on her Skill might be put in good use. Cuz I actually questioning why they would put this kind of talent on Yae Miko. So Yeah, I do hope she would perform well in Sumeru Updates cuz of she has Rerun I will pull for her.
The player base overhyped her because of her looks, yes she has at least top 3 best character designs but looks don't make the character break the game and this makes most the community really disappointing because they decide the character whether is good or not before it's even released and is there a better example for this than Kazuha
I regret pulling for Yae not because of the rumor, leaks, or hype, i never expected her to be at Ganyu, Xiao, Hu Tao, Raiden, or Kazuha level. I pulled her because i thought she could replace my already fully invested Fischl. I got tired ranting about how annoying her overall kit is. My overall rate for Yae is 7/10. 7 because i still love the electro element. i could go down more if she wasn’t an electro element. It’s disgusting to see her C1. Her C1 could have been her second passive talent and her current second passive talent can go to C1.
The 90 energy burst holds her back so much. It forces her to be paired with an electro battery. There's inly three though and I doubt anyone uses electro traveler.
reasons you stated that i disagree with: 1. dynamic scaling > snapshot - allows her to make use of kagura's verity passive. - potentially a great 4pc ToM user 2. 90 energy cost - allows her to get huge buff from raiden's E (assuming you have raiden) - majority of her damage comes from her E 3. er issues / constellations - er can be easily fixed with raiden or another electro character + electro resonance - saying that it is mandatory for yae to have another electro sounds like saying xl needs bennett, hu tao needs xq, ayaka needs hydro character. basically i don't think it's a big issue since that's how the game works - c1 is a bonus, makes team rotation and gameplay easier. similar to hu tao c0 vs c1
Yae actually works better (for me) as a main DPS. Her E skill IS her normal attacks. I pair her with Fischl as a battery (I use my Raiden for my National team). It's true that she does need some 5* supports (I have ZL for shield, and Kazuha for elemental buff). As far as artifacts, I just plopped my best unused Glad/Shim artifacts. She clears the Abyss more easily than (and just as fast as) my other 2nd team main DPS (i.e. Eula, and Ayaka before Eula).
Well she said she was a VIP at the end of her story quest. Luxury is what she wants from us, get her signature weapon, constellation, expensive team and all in all if you not give her treatment like Queen she became a troll
I think yae has additional major problems. Whe she cast her burst extra lightning strikes from the consumed totem always Target the same area as the initial burst instead of targeting the enemy hit by the burst. wheather there are enemies or not. So the extra stick frequently attack an empty space. Her burst 90 cost. This is a huge dps lose. And even her E skill target all the targetable physical things like cooking spot, torches and etc.. instead of enemies. Also fighting with witches e skill target her pets instead of witch. All of her auto targets sucks. Theses problem very disappointing. And all the issues arkrevnerplays mention totally true and agreed.. mihoyo need to fix these things. I love her kit , story, personality and playstyle. These things very frustrating.. and constellations argg.....!
Didn't pull for her, simply due to the neglecting attitude Hoyoverse has had towards the game play aspect of the Inazuma characters, making them extremely niche and hard to fit in different teams or replaceable with other 4*star units is probably the worst way to sell a character, this is a game first and story later. I'm relieved and also sad I had to skip her knowing this before-hand.
She is a major letdown. The truth has to be said flat out. If she didn't you wouldn't see many negativity and complaints of her on the internet so that tells you something already of where she belongs and what most people think.
I love Yae, and she is paired with Ei, I just wish her AI Totem Targeting was better, and not attack the berry trees, and the camp fires. Her new play style is different and refreshing.
A big reason for me to stop pulling for her (48 pulls into pity, lost 50/50 so guaranteed pull) was that her skill will actually attack torches, campfires, the bats that fly around the electro fatui, it's a lose of damage, their targeting logic doesn't make sense. I'm F2P so I have to be very selective on who I pull for with my precious primos.
Those myths are already been debunked and tested by a certain RUclipsr. It's not a bug and it works perfectly fine. I've cleared abyss with level 70 yae with all level 6 talents. She's perfectly fine.
@@tanyavondegurechaff6998 I've seen her skill attack the bats flying around the mages, were they able to disprove that? I'm not questioning her usability, it's just that she doesn't have i-frames when casting her skill unlike other characters do, interrupting while casting 3 totems takes time and being interrupted or knocked back eats up more time. I'll most likely pull for her during her rerun, but I need a Kokomi more than a Yae in terms of usability. Also, where's my season 2! And how did Mary Sue survive after getting shot in the throat, you should have aimed for the head!
@@tanyavondegurechaff6998 nah it will target campfires and stuff but i think it prioritises what it would consider "living" first IIRC so it's not really too much an issue but some things have weird priorities or count as "living" such as the wind butterflies like in dvalin fight for example i think.
@@mozzie2729 yes, i do agree with QOL adjustment with her E skills. Like s and her burst should not destroy her totems but refresh it's duration. Go with kokofish they go well with each other. My team consist with Zhongli, Albedo, Kokomi and Yae soo there's that. Shield probably helped a lot with her clunky play style. Me too mate. Me tooo. We could only hope for s2 as well for Yae adjustments. Cheers.
@@halowars400762 that's actually correct, it hits certain object if there's no monster inside it's specific radius but I haven't encountered her E skill hitting butterflies or cicin flies. I'll try to post the link below for his explanation and I completely agree with him. I haven't encountered any problems with her in open world.
I'm really disappointed by amount of people saying "well if she just had her own artifact set" or "well when Dendro comes out in 20 years, it will have a reaction that will save the character". No. Fucking no. Characters should be tested and adjusted. Its not even all numbers issue, its straight up obscenely long animations and wards attacking inanimate objects. There was not a single effort applied to balance and polish - and it never will, because these devs never do anything. Between old characters, and Xinyan and Sara and Kokomi, and now Yae, I'm on my last leg with Mihoyo. To do such a good job artistically and not give a single fuck for quality of life and pleasure of playing, you need to be a special being.
I'm a new player at Genshin. Started just a few days ago. Haven't seen any clips of Yae before, first encountered her in her test mode. I didn't have any expectations at all, I came across the test mode by accident while checking menu items. But I immediately felt Yae was right up my alley. I really like her. And I totally agree with the video, correcting all these points could make her much better. Maybe it's just me, but to me it's perceived as something that just has to be the best. In any role, but without any doubt the best. So when in any role she can be replaced by a cheaper alternative it's sad. But in any case, I'm glad I got her (c6r5 omfg). Even if her mechanics remain unchanged and she doesn't get her artifacts, I plan to continue using her as the main DPS.
I feel like with her kit, if they need to change her they need to lean into the more DPS side of things. More damage on burst to justify the cost, or just bring it down to 60 or 70 energy. Increase that EM scaling for the skill or just flat increase the damage. If her burst stays at 90 cost, make her skills all generate 5 particles. If it goes down to 60-70, they should all generate 3. i-frames for the dash, because as squishy dps she'll need it. More range on normals, much faster normals and charged attacks. Make her use all that field time she needs to her advantage. This would make her an insanely good driver for electro-charged teams, and while it wouldn't make her useable in a lot of other teams, it would make her definitively the best electro sub-dps and a good main dps. You'd still have to build teams around her, but now she's not a weird gray area between sub dps and dps where at low team investment she's not great as either.
Since she is so connected to Ei, it is a bit understandable why her energy burst is so hight. Those 2 have to be in one team which means money for the company. Her constellation one is a substitue for Ei (I know about the existence of Fischl but wanted to stay on the 5 star side of characters)
I already have a well-built Ayaka and Hu Tao. Both of them lead my Abyss team as main dps. I needed like an off-field dps/ subdps and Yae was perfect for me so i pulled and got her in 15 wishes(50/50) which i'm really happy about. I love her sm tho she does need a fix for some bugs and most importantly, her own signature artifacts set. I also heard that a dendro support for her might come out soon so i'll keep my Hopium for that future updates.🦊🌸
I think just like Kokomi, Yae will be buffed via a new artifact set. I'm thinking an artifact set with a 2pc increasing skill damage and 4pc multiplying the skill damage based on the number of skills used. Just my thoughts though..
She's is DEFINITELY a playable character. I only been playing since December 13th 2021. I came into Genshin on the last Raiden Shogun banner. I literally played each of her Constellations for 2 days to see the difference (yes I spent for her C6 because I liked her skills cause they coincide with my play style and she was worth every penny) Right now I have her at: Level 70 Level 90 R5 Oathworns Eye (given for free from Three Realms event) Severed Fate Set Her Attack is at 2,794 right now. Crit Rate 50% (and goes up as she levels) and Crit DMG is at 100%. Since I joined others in co op they couldn't believe her power at only Level 70. Basically this is for LAZY players. If you put the time and care into your characters and build them into your play style instead of being so damn lazy and wanting auto play basically to run it for them. Go back to auto-play mobile games if you cannot take the time and learn her motions and steps for attacks because it's the same distance EVERYTIME. Not to mention I am running her World Level 7. Level 90 Ganyu C1 Level 60 Diluc C0 Level 80 QiQi C0 With this team. I RAN through Three Gates over a 2 day weekend I had off and how I received her FREE!!! R5 4 Star Weapon. If you don't like me because I'm sick of lazy ass gamers wanting everything handed to them instead of grinding hard to build a beast character. Then keep it pushing and find a nice Auto-Play MMORPG in Play Store. ✌️💯 YAE MIKO FOR ARCHON PRESIDENT
There's also that one issue in coop where it's basically ONE Yae Miko with FOUR bodies... what I mean is, we can only have 3 e's on the field, and using an e from another player will override yours.
Most dolphin or new players might not notice this but as a vet, 4-star is also a big reason to decide which banner to pull especially if you are F2P/low spender but already have most 4 star at C6 (while whale will just pull on anything they want so they are a non-factor) Fischl and Diona are great characters but they are really old and most of us have them at C6, while Thoma is only decent on Hu Tao and if you have Zhongli already and doesn't use him in the other chamber cuz of freeze/international/taser then he is not valuable at all, on top of that there is also 50/50 to think about So I end up spending 10k gem on weapon banner instead and luckily got Jade Cutter. I want the catalyst but the sword is just as good and the 4 stars are just what I need while if I pull on Yae the chance of getting her is only half while the 4 star is useless so I might just waste 70 pull on absolutely nothing. I really like her character and overall design but she is just not worth it at this point Maybe on her rerun, esp if she got some buff/artifact and weapon that suits her outside of her BIS 5 star
Personally I like yae I use her with fischl kokomi and Mona and she made my team alot more powerful and she is the first character I'm taking to 90 also because I use her in a team that doesn't use dendro I look for older videos as the newer ones talk about dendro and I'm not using her with dendro and she is one of the few characters i actually used money to get and I'm happy with her performance and i don't mind how much on field time she takes i even enjoy using her normal attacks to trigger the reactions and she even became one of the most powerful characters on my account
The video would be much interesting if instead you points out why Yae is decent at C0, quite good at C2 , and very powerful at c6. Myhoyo don't want any new characters become too op, and ending up speeding up powercreep. I actually find Yae playstyle refreshing, and it is a right direction for a company to diversify playstyle rather than simply making a new characters op. For whatever reason, people like to complain and hate, especially those very vocal on the internet forum.
Yeah ngl we all thought she would out match every single character and that her kit was bewildering but haha... Seems not everything can go your way. But don't get me wrong Yae Miko is a great character and is strong in her own way but Hoyoverse just didn't handle her situation as well as we thought. But let's pray that she will get a buff or a new artifact set.
@@ArkRevnerPlays But could you blame them? It's Yae Miko were talking about. People have been waiting for her since little chibi from 1.5 CN livestream.
Hopefully they fix her. A lot of players especially cn players are angry about how her kit turn out. And she’s an anticipated unit so she should at least be a unit that feels nice to use.
I use her on my overload team with Yoimiya, Thoma and Jean and my Geo mono team with Itto, Albedo and Gorou. In both teams she feels really fun. In the overload team sweeping away small mobs with Thoma and in the geo team where both Goro with elegy and albedo with EM buff both boost Yae's burst when Itto isn't ready. She is def a luxury char and sadly she def needs C1 to be flexible enough to be enjoyable but I'm really enjoying her. If someone had to choose between her and Raiden though I would say Raiden all the way. However you should play this game with characters you like not characters that are meta
One thing Ayato has going for him is he's gonna be hydro, which is huge for reactions even though there's a super limited number of hydro characters, especially since the only hydro dps right now is Childe who's more of an enabler. So I think he'll probably be good still as long as they don't mess up his kit
@@maraisfan4life517 Well yeah every character can be played however you want, but he works best as an enabler. It's the same as how you could run Zhongli as a physical main dps but it wouldn't be the most useful way of playing him. Also I say this as a Childe main who doesn't use him as an enabler either 90% of the time.
Thank you for giving that kind of objective critique that will for sure help players make the good choice, compared to those content creators overhyping her.
When I saw that people started training themselves with Lisa in preparation for Yae Miko's banner, I quickly thought that her skill would take that much time, and boy was I right. She is a squishy version of Lisa who's thirsty for that C2 Lisa constellation that would turn her from a beta to an alpha female. Luckily for me, I've used Lisa plenty enough to find myself comfortable with Yae Miko. It's so funny how similar they are with Lisa's turret burst also hitting miscellaneous objects the same way Yae Miko's is. As long as Yae Miko's long uptime is compensated with tankiness and some durability will the playerbase begin to actually like her. I find myself avoiding her issues by using support characters that I find she would be needing: A taunted to assure that she doesn't get slapped, a battery for her burst, and a resistor such as a shield or a damage reduction forcefield like XQ skill. Funnily enough, Lisa and Yae Miko have a smooth rotation together considering they both play slow unlike other dps characters, whether skill or sub dps.
I agree with a lot of the points you brought up. Yae Miko is a unfriendly character to f2p people like myself. Also, without her own set of artifacts, its hard to get her to the best she can be. Which makes me upset because Yae Miko is a really good character story wise and I think a lot of people would agree with me. But as I said before, its hard to save up primos as it is, and Yae Miko’s constellation is just Hoyoverse reaching into a lot of people pockets. I can understand why she’s not a character for everyone, but overall with the right supports she can be a pretty good dps.
To be honest, I totally agree with you and your opinion. I thought she would be like Raiden who is a great character but I expected so much that I ended up being disappointed. I was waiting for her and when I heard about the complaints my heart shattered. I may be gunrateed for her but after hearing this, I might be pulling for Raiden and Kokomi.
i honestly think most reasons are fine as i personally never thought of her to be meta defining. she'll obviously get better with investment, like all other characters. though i do think her c1 is scummy af. i think her issues go beyond this, not damage issues, but in that she is the buggiest character to date. imagine buying a character and having her freeze your mouse LOL.
For those saying hutao c1 doesn't worth much, read below and hope you realize it. Im using hutao c0 since her release in March 2020, getting her c1 back in Nov over homa is the best thing I ever done cause it change hutao team damage potential. I need to remind you again her c1 only will benefit you in spiral abyss where time is limited. People like Usman here don't know how to differentiate DPS (damage per second) with DA (total damage per atk). Remember doing 100k damage per 2 second is not the same as 100k per 3 second. This is where hutao c1 allow you to make dash cancel instead of jump cancel. You save time you increase your DPS. ANOTHER major thing is you need to remember stamina consumption is not for hutao only but it's shared among 4 character. for hutao c0, when your E ends your stamina usually at 0 since u spam those charge atk, but c1 you will still have enough for others to use for sprint / avoid enemies atk and to cycle back to Hutao again for the next E window. Those extra stamina will save you a lot of time and your DPS increase sigmificantly. Just my 2 cent DPS is useless in overworld, so don't waste time comparing c0 with c1 unless you want to kill those spiral abyss faster. I just laugh when people compare c0 and c1 by doing jump cancel on stationary pattern. 🤣, This is not random baseless comment, I use her for nearly 1 year, and her c1 save me about 30-40 second in spiral abyss compare to c0. Getting homa over dragonsbane won't save me that much time.
For me, Yae is definitely good. It's just the people who expected a little bit too much. I mean it's not bad to be hype for an upcoming character who plays a big role in the archon quest, but there is a saying that says "Lower your expectation to be not disappointed." Edit: Tbh, I think the major problem that Yae is dealing right now is her Energy cost and the ER. I think we should wait for an artifact that is definitely built for her so we can know if she is really bad or above average
It may be over hype but the big problem is that she’s an electro sub-DPS that offers nothing for the team. They should’ve either made her an on-field DPS, a sub-DPS with supportive capabilities, or made her a full support instead. Instead, we got a sub-DPS that can only apply electro, the most meh reactions in this game.
I appreciate the time you took to make this video and I do enjoy watching your videos, I even watch most of them. Though, these kinds of videos don’t sit too well with me. I know it will sound hypocritical since I watched in anyway, but I was hoping for actual major issues. Yaes kit isn’t the best in the game, absolutely, but Mihoyo never said it would be. Her kit was shown before her release. The fact that the auto or charged attacks takes too long, we all saw footage of it before her release. If you don’t like her kit or believe it’s insufficient or even just not good enough, don’t pull for her. I tried her, didn’t like her play style, didn’t pull. “She has things holding her back from being top tier”, every new character can’t be top tier. Every 5* can’t be SS+ tier, they also don’t have to be. You choose what to do with your primos, you could simply choose to not pull for her, but to save up and wait for a character that is. If they keep making the new characters better than the last, it just wouldn’t work. Mihoyo can’t be held responsible because fans had their expectations set too high even though there was no basis to support the rumors or claims. I really like your videos and this comment isn’t specifically targeted towards you but towards the Genshin community as a whole, I really recommend everyone to pull for the characters they like, if that’s their design, VA, kit, dmg numbers etc.. then that’s totally fine. But keep in mind that not all 5* will be a new ganyu or hu tao or xiao.
All fair points. I love playing Yae. I even replaced a pretty decked out C6 fischl with her. But I also saved my primos since 2.3 ended to get her weapon + C3, and will be saving even more for her rerun in an attempt to get C6. Most characters lack a lot of vital gameplay mechanics they can only get in their constellations, but C1 and C2 Yae just feel like they should have been baseline.
@@kittenmimi5326 Weirdly passive aggressive take. Most characters feel incomplete without 1 or 2 constellations. The exceptions are characters like Aloy or Amber who don't get anything with their constellation (or don't have one). I have many 5 stars at C0, and a few at C1 or C2. Lo and behold, the C0's feel weaker than their C6 4 star counterparts. Raiden at C0 was a massive disappointment and I'm not sure why people would use her if they have a C4 or C6 Fischl, but her C2 makes her great. I've learned to not just randomly pull for 5 stars because of this. Because the C0's feel worthless. I save and save so I can get at least C2. And I plan to go back and get C2 of some of my favorite's reruns. As much as people claim that other 5 stars do well at C0 out of the box, I'll have to hard disagree on that. Pretty much every 5 star suffers at C0, and pretty much all of them have a 4 star counterpart that's just straight up better than them at C6.
🌸😹It is not shocking to say the least! One could say that all know that what Ark releases, is always to be scrumptious, thus they preemptively extend their like.😹🌸
Ayaka and ganyu has super strong passives on both their two passives(cryo dmg and CA NA dmg bonus, cryo infusion, and crit rate) . But yae has one the passive that fix the problem of her totem dissapear when burst that this problem should not exist if her designed properly. And the second passive scale based EM which a bit useless because on her every other kit there is not any one of them scale based on EM. So no one really stack EM substats on her and better focused on other sub stats. If you look at raiden she has so many ability and support kind buff included on her E and Q then give more on her passives and her scale with ER works with her signature weapon, artifacts and passives(0.4 %every ER over 100% is very good scaling) . Why yae has nothing add on ability on her E and Q then her pasives even sucks and like its really okay if those passive were not exists. Just look at her passives it's clear that something wrong with her kit design during development. And her potential its money locked, you need C6 sara (60 % cdm) and raiden c6 for decreasing her 22 s to 17 s). Yeah made so many problem and you have to buy the solutions. She tuned very low because of those OP Constellations on other characters
solar pearl really work wonder for her I run her with fischl + elegy (still farming for tenacity) xingqiu + 4 set noblesse yae miko + solar pearl jean + 4set vv this team really work well together, with the main focus on maximizing yae miko's skill dmg not the best of course but I already got enough unit to 36* abyss so yeah for fun only also I have feeling we will have problem with elemental burst in the future so having yae miko is kinda future proofing
Yeah you're right, but in my opinion she is not that underwhelming, because I knew this would happened. Why they're didn't release a set at her lauch..? Because the rotation of a new set is after 3 / 4 update I still enjoy her, but damn she feels clunky... They should give her Super armor.. And please just add Hold E 😭 ( all totem will spawn ) but the cd is 10 second/12 second that would be great imo
I think Yae is an excellent character and one of my favorites but i know she has lots of problems i think what you suggested on the skill as a buff would be amazing. I do hope one day does become a meta defining character with a new artifact set but i enjoy her to bits as is hopefully we get something for her
Nice review about Yae Miko, now I'm convinced I shouldn't pull for her as of now as it is impossible for me to reach for her c1 now 😆. Tbh I don't really mind that some characters having to get constelation upgrade to be comfrortably used, in the end we can only use so much on at a time. I feel like having some really usable is more important than having all characters.
I think you are giving her a little too much credit there at the end. If you say that a c6 fischl will outperform a c 0 miko, to me that means miko is just worse than fischl. I always hated the constelation system since the game launched, and im supprised they didn't put in "elemental skill no longer targets fires or torches" into her c4.
Agree completely. One of the issues I have with her is the fact that she takes so long on field that pairing her with Benny, Xingqiu, Beidou can be complicated, give how the last 2 ults are tied to a character's normal atks, and she takes too much time on Bennys circle. So I'm trying to find a way to pair her with characters that don't take too much field time. I've completed the abyss with Raiden, Fischl, Jean and Yae. It was nice. But now I'm trying her with burst Rosaria, and I like it. I do think she'll be better with characters like that.... But also I am not a tc. Her not snapshotting is terrible too...... Like Diona. I thought getting a c6 Diona would be good for my Yae bc of 200 em but as soon as shr leaves the field, for another character, there goes Dionas buff.... It's a mess. I love Yae still and am getting used to her gameplay and am think it's enjoyable. Of course play style is extremely personal yet it's a fact that, even if you like her, like i do, Fischl is way more comfortable to use.
I personally don't have a problem, since my intent reason of pulling is simply because I want her. And even though I have her at C0 (with her weapon), she feels fine for me personally, since I don't really go that much for meta, and also don't really do the Spiral Abyss. However, the only thing I really felt was missing, was not having Raiden Shogun, since if I did, then there'd be constant damage from both parties, while using Childe and Kazuha for DPS and gathering. I would pull more, but I'm saving for someone.
The Points you made about Yae Miko are Very Sound and thought of. I had different expectations with Yae Miko; I expected her to be the First Electro Healer. But when I saw the leaks, esp her Totems; I expected to create an Entrapment Field similar to the Thunder Manifestation, caging enemies & dealing continious Electro Damage. Then I saw her Burst, I was greatly disappointed, look like a Glorified Sara Burst. And you're right, if You have a well-built Fischl or Beidou (I have a C5 Fischl), You don't Really Need Yae Miko. It would had help if her E had i-frames or super-armor--- But No, maybe HoYoVerse thought it would make her Broken. And Yes, to make her OP you need C6--- Ironic, Raiden has her Major Breaking Constellation at C2. Yae Miko is suffering from the Reverse Kokomi Syndrome; So Hype to Get Her; Post-I-got-her, People aren't So Happy afterwards. As with Kokomi, She had Tremendous & Unfair Hate Towards her because of some Content Creators & Meta-Chads. I was One of the Rare People that Actually Pulled on her; Spent $100 worth to get her & her weapon--- With No Regrets Whatsoever, She Everything I expected; Healer, Tank, Driver, & My 1st Hydro Main DPS. Yes, I treat her as My Main Hydro DPS. I have a Well-Built Heart of the Depth Set; HP%/ATK%/EM/ER Subs on the Flower & Feather. And EM Sands/Hydro Goblet/& Healing Bonus Circlet, long before the Ocean Hued Clam Set--- I regret giving up that Set & farming OHC pieces with not much luck ( Getting Crit Substats 😭 ). With this much Disappointment with Yae Miko now, I wouldn't be Surprise, if out of the blue, announce an artifact set for her in 2.6 or 2.7 😆
i fell in love with genshin a few months ago and somehow i seem to love all the 5 stars with issues or that none of my friends wanted to pull on. yoimiya, kokomi, childe, albedo, now yae miko. i was always excited to pull for them and then i'd read all the negative comments and it would put a damper on my hype and even make me question if i should go for them. i know it's always "just pull them if you like them" and i did! and i do follow the mindset of playing characters i like instead of meta, but it also bothers me that for some reason "my characters" are always flawed and i don't find joy in the designs and playstyles of the meta characters, i didn't pull for raiden, hu tao, itto, ganyu, eula cause i just liked the other banner characters so much more. kazuha will be the first one i love and gonna pull for who has nothing but praise from everyone, istg if there's some form of nerf before his banner i'm gonna lose it. anyways despite my rant, i really liked your video and the way you so objectively explained her flaws. i do agree. when i got her and her weapon i built her with the best artifact pieces i had and she just became my strongest character and i was able to get more stars on abyss and i was really happy with her. but i guess any character can be strong if you've got the right build. anyways i still like her (and all my characters) despite their flaws, and have fun with their kits :)
So i have an idea for a reworked Yae E where if you hold down her skill you would summon all her totems(her dash is still an option though) as for her burst it would still be the same. PS: i thought of an animation for her holding down her E where she would do her idle animation with her gohei but instead just a semi circle there would also be an indicator that all three of her totems would be ready to be summoned it would sort of look like the tomoe crest but with three foxes instead
Tbh, I am not even pulling for dedicated 5 star characters anymore. I pull on a banner if it features at least two 4 star characters that I don't have a C6 on. The 5 star is a nice addition, but since they are now often also doing double banners, chances are high that I at least don't have one of the 5 star characters so I don't need to stop myself in pulling for the 4 stars (because even if I don't pull for a certain 5 star, getting constellations is far less interesting to me than getting a new character).
i would be more thrilled about yae being a healer/support we have no electro healer atm, out of 9 characters (in comparison, water has 2 and a half, out of 5).. even geo have healer(s)!
In the beginning, I was pretty excited for her because of her gorgeous normal attacks and her aesthetic design but she was so overhyped that I couldn't take it. People kept saying she would be the best Electro DPS, Electro Ganyu, etc, etc., and Hoyoverse making her Raiden's best friend in every aspect (storyline, lore, gameplay, even birthdays) just overdid it. People really need to learn how to manage their expectations and take a chill pill.

While I still love Yae Miko and enjoy using her, it's undeniable that her base kit has major issues that are holding her back. Hopefully some of these issues will be resolved with time, indirect buff etc. but I suppose we'll see with time.

I think Yae Miko is the best character by now.
i actually worried about you because apparently people on r/YaeMiko is so aggresive when it comes to criticizing
Duo Raiden C0 & Yae Miko slap the Abyss: ruclips.net/video/Scc8m81A9C8/видео.html Still love her though
She isn't bad just requires extremely niche and very high skilled teams to optimize with her.
Like one said above... She's pretty balanced imo
*Jean* : She refunds 15 energy for herself after using burst.(Character kit)
*Venti* : He refunds 15 energy for himself and those characters that corresponds to the element that his burst absorbed.(Character kit)
*Yae* : She refunds too... *but it's locked behind C1* . What a clown world
It stopped to Raiden 😥
@Kaizaki J. your argument is totally valid
@@wreckitnick5464 That is compensated by her being a battery unit
@Andhika Adiputra you may want to check
She actually needs the refund more. Since she has fk all energy regen and 90 cost burst
I agree with the hype. Her character in the games storyline is amazing but as a playable character she has a lot of things that easily could've been better. I won't discount her too soon tho, everyone said the same about Kokomi and to a point Yoimiya. And people skipped Kazuha for his lack of hype either. Hoyoverse likes improving things later on in the game to extend playability and longevity. Yae C1 is proof enough that Mihoyo has had plans on her and its implemented on her development.
Personally, I like her kit; we definitely needed another 5 star main dps catalyst that wasn't Klee. But the main issue for me is that they never buff characters who need it unless the entirety of the player base screams at them to do so.
@@sinistralhydra even then the only direct buff ever in genshin history is zhongli
She is amazing dude and I'm not even running her with another Electro. She's the only character I actually spent to pull her full Constellations cause even at Level 70 and R5 Oathworns Eye. I was Taking out Level 90 mobs in Three Gates in under a minute after I memorized her steps for her Elemental Skill, since I did that. It made me pull C6.
i dont see how her C1 is proof that mhy has plans for her. if anything, it shows they plan on doing this with all their characters (create a problem and offer solution in their cons) to grab cash
@@ARMYALEX1869
This is what makes me irritated bro (not you by the way) For years now all games cost money for items, skins, weapons. Etc, etc. Hoyoverse actually made a REAL open world Free 2 Play game. You just gotta farm hard and build the characters you get. This new generation playing Genshin get mad cause us spenders are pulling C6 5 Stars. Like I bust my ass for my money dude and I'm 35 with 2 kids who also spend. And I grew up in a generation where you just bought the console and game. Nowadays kids are so lazy and greedy they want HoyoVerse just to give them entirely everything they developed for free which is their job. Like dude get the hell up and get a job if you want Constellations so bad like everyone else or if you mad young do good in school and do some chores for your parents and maybe they'll bless you with a Google Play Gift Card. I just never seen so much hate from a younger generation in a game cause they have bad luck or don't wanna farm and get better items to boost for free. This been a weight on my shoulders since the first 2 weeks playing Genshin. People in comments on forums or Google Play people saying another Money Grabber. But legit this is 100% F2P you just gotta put the time in and half of them don't even read Item Descriptions, They rather watch a streamer build his own builds and do all the work for them. Just saying this is a HUGE problem in the Open World MMORPGs that have options of spending and extra benefits. These kids, teenagers and young adults need to grow up. Gaming is a legit business. Developers just found a way to pay their bills faster. Don't hate because they were the smart ones
Yae is definitely a character that I really believe the dev team went above and beyond styling her animations and design. Not only that, her lore makes her out to suggest that she is extremely powerful. I think this is also why people are more disappointed, they put such wonderful aesthetics and design into a more sub par unit than expecting, and brings mixed feelings into pulling for her.
%1000 agree! She’s so beautiful and well designed aesthetically 🥰
What in her lore made people think That she is so powerful? Serious question i dont know her Full background but would like to know.
She actually isn't that bad if you have c6 Sucrose and Kazuha with her. She hits like a truck under the right team people are just getting mad that most carries now don't benefit from Bennet.
her attack /charge attack animation are gorgeous, yet 90% of the time we dont use it at all, since its weak as f.
@@IveBeenWithBruma here comes that one person who has to disagree seriously this is why mihoyo always have their way
What's depressing is that Mihoyo never fix a character directly unless there's a huge backlash like back then with zhongli. Even with her optimal artifact I don't think she will be much good. Gotta hope grass+electro reaction is worth sth.
Yeah I don’t think they have ever done a direct buff since Zhongli way back when… 🥲
Yup, they won't fix shit unless you involve their government (which I still think is a really dumb thing to do). Keqing mains and others should just accept the fact that they will never buff characters in the next ten centuries, lol.
@@miraqen7801 we alrd did 🙂
there is no way they can do a direct buff to yae because they did buff zhongl and he is became so op that they are trying to nerf him with these new wolfhounds and anti shield mobs but still zhongli is very useful
Maybe they will fix their clunkiness they fixed monas dash but that was almost a year later
I never expected Yae to be the next Ganyu level of power, but I also did not expect her to be so clunky. The main issues I have with her skill are needing to be case 3 times to be usable, no i-frame/super armour, being destroyed and needing to be cast again when she ults, not snap shotting, and only outputtting 5 Electro particles in 15 seconds. I think it can be fixed with either needing to cast only once to place all 3, don't destroy them when casting her ult, or give i-frames. Heck, Fischl is a better meta unit than Yae at this stage.
Funny thing is... she is Ganyu level power off field, if you C6 her...
"Fischl is a better meta unit than Yae", as someone who have Yae and Fisch raised, I can't agree more.
Did the beta testers not relay all that in feedback? At the very least the thing is not at all game breaking for her. Why not just give it to her? The only thing I can expect is them holding off on a busted artifact set for her. Or that they held back with soon to come Dendro reactions in mind, whatever they are.
Yeah I also agree with her energy partial regeneration issues
@@Godsthetics and the thing is, I'm somewhat tempted to save like crazy and C6 her cos I like her character that much. The AFK play would be nice xD
My main problem with Yae are her constellations. If c1 and c2 where parts of her kit at c0 and her c1 and c2 were replace by more team supportive type constellations (attack speed, resistance to disruption, etc) it will make Yae feel more valuable.
Yes I definitely agree with this.
Fuck Mihoyo, greedy as always
C1 and C2 should have been her ascension talents, and her current ascension talents should have been C1 and C2
It's the overhype that did it for me. Like you said - clunky, energy hungry, super-niche or high investment characters aren't necessarily bad at all - heck I regularly use Tohma in Abyss and I don't regret how much I had to invest into him to do that - but the way the community acts so betrayed when they turn out to be that way reveals a lot of really unrealistic expectations. Remember when everyone was calling Tohma "pyro Xingqiu"? Not every character is going to be the next Ganyu, nor should they be! Imagine if every subsequent release was the next Ganyu or Hu Tao, that if every month you had to shell out to get the next main DPS just to keep up with the content and never any new supports or sub-DPSes. No one would be playing this game anymore!
Edit since people are getting feisty with me in the replies: I'm not saying that Yae doesn't have issues or that people are wrong to be disappointed, I agree that her lack of s and inability to snapshot were bad decisions and I'm pretty leery of how HYV is currently only pumping out extremely energy hungry characters. Fans having unrealistic expectations in general doesn't make that not true. My original point was only that if every new 5 star was a main DPS hypercarry - as fans seemed to think Yae would be - it would get really boring really fast and we'd have powercreep out the wazoo.
yep she has suffered from overhype way more than most characters. she's still decent, she can still clear all content, just clunky
Though I agree with you I also think we should have some expectations or standards for characters. For me I always expect a kit that comes together seamlessly and a decent power level for overworld. And if a character has limited utility or a bit of a clunky kit, their power level should make up for it. This is because not just primogems but also resources are very limited. So if we have to decide between a bunch of characters, I'd rather be undecided amongst a lot of good options rather than a few good ones and a lot of meh ones. I think if Yae's kit was more polished or creative, the backlash would not have been as bad.
I adore Thoma so I pulled for him regardless. But I don't have Hu Tao, and his low power level and kit that's clunky outside of his niche means he'll be shelved indefinitely. Especially because I have a built Zhongli, Xinyan and Diona. It just feels like a massive waste of a character when the game has barely scratched the surface when it comes to unique characters.
The people who initially said he was like "pyro Xingqiu" meant it as "hey their skills and bursts are similar". But a lot of people assumed that it meant power level, mostly in the way of pyro application. I still don't understand how people still get so overhyped about damage potential of characters, I just look roughly at how their talents work to see if they interest me.
It's just people like yae people expect her to be good. When she is just a regular mediocre character. The hype just kills it for me
Also PLEASE STOP gating people from getting good characters. It would be nice to get another ganyu, or hutao,or a good dps. The current content is hard enough that nobody can just cheese the game even with them. As you can see they are ALREADY making the content harder and harder and dps checking everything yet they arent givinf us characters or option to make up for it. There is no reason for you to be so anti-meta and anti-dmg therefore saying its okay for mihoyo to make characters kit worse and worse and never giving us a good one ever again.
Well this wouldn't have been an issue if they had fixed the 3 problem children to begin with. Bennet, Xiangling and Xingqui shouldn't be as successful as they are and make the game extremely unhealthy.
As someone said “I’d pull for her even if she healed the enemy” I don’t regret my decisions lol. But I wouldn’t complain if they gave her super armor or i-frames on her skill. And if dendro winds up pairing well with electro then I’ll have a yae, raiden, kokomi, (dendro) team to look forward to.
haha was this on reddit?
Yes.
ruclips.net/video/sJl-M_dZso8/видео.html
I wouldn't really say i-frames or super armor, using the skill as an evasion tool is an interesting concept, since they did that in the trailer, there should at least be some sort of buff obtained when evading attacks with her skill.
Dendro is not gonna happen
@@impendio welp, this didn't age well
Just a note, having used C0 Hu Tao since her release, and getting her C1 over Homa in the rerun, I actually wanna say that C1 doesn’t really add that much. It makes her a bit more convenient to use, but it hardly adds any damage, and it’s just a “nice to have” rather than a “must have”.
Agreed
As someone who has a C0 Xiao, C0 Ganyu abd C0 Zhongli in different accounts, CONSTELLATIONS MEAN NOTHING so long as you build them up or find work arounds in each characters play styles
Yes I have Hu tao C0 too. And she became my most damage dealer in my account.
yea, you need preffectly dash cancel to make use that C1 for 1-2 extra charge atk. but its kinda hard for me. thats why i straight go for Homa for surely Damage Increase.
yes I have hutao C1 one it only adds like 1 to 2 charge attack..thats it
You're totally right about the hype... people pulled for her and spent SO many primos before even seeing if she was a good fit for them. Luckily there are people like you who generously share ur knowledge 💖
Me in a nutshell
yeah its pretty unfortunate. That's why its always good to wait a few days. I still think she's a good unit overall but def not for everyone.
i'm so glad i didn't spend enough primos on her to actually get her. feel so bad for the people who did
@@cosmicjules don't feel so bad. Some people like me pulled for her because we just like her. She's one of my favs so I'm not even disappointed that she's underwhelming.
@@cosmicjules only feel bad for the meta slaves who pulled for her 😉
Leakers called her "The DPS ceiling for electro" so of course people felt very disapointed about her, she is a 5 out 10 character at best, a 5 star fischl with higher dmg but with a lot of clunkyness attached to it, and unlike fischl, yae does not offer anything of value outside of damage (which to be honest even her burst feels underwhelming in terms of damage having 60% of ayaka dmg instead of dealing more dmg than ayaka's burst or at least yae's ult having ayaka's ult multipliers), Yae is pretty much a softer version of the pre-buff Zhongli fiasco, a very hyped character murdered by a clunky kit and bad numbers.
@ShiroChanSensei There’s also Beidou, another electro sub-dps. But I’m guessing you like Yae tho stick with who you like.
@ShiroChanSensei yae Miko is really underwhelming fischel is good support for electro but yae Miko is supposed to be main DPS but her damage is mid-high at best.
Never take leakers/Beta testers seriously. They are your average casual players if not lesser. They're not theorycrafters. Almost every TC prediction of them has been wrong post release. We can do nothing except wait for her artifact set. I find her decent still. But that could just be the team I'm using around her. Since I'm using Kazuha,Raiden etc. Plus it's nice to have a hands off character while farming mobs.
@ShiroChanSensei lmao xdd 🤣😂bruh i am losing brain cells here what is she ? electro support who needs a battery for herself lmao 🤣 does subpar off field electro dps 🤣🤣 which requires 6s every now and then with 90 burst cost lmao while her cons scream damage . Welp i am dying from ur idiocy
@ShiroChanSensei "clunkiness can be replaced by skill which makes it fun", I disagree with this part.
While I have Yae and love her, my main problem with her is her E has NO . And that's not just clunkiness, that's bad gameplay design on Mihoyo part, we can't defend this kind of shitty design. Since there is no fucking reason for her E to have no .
Like Ganyu E has , why Yae E doesn't, that makes no sense. It likes Mihoyo purposely criple her, in their "tryhard" attempt to NOT create any power-crept unit. Also most likely in an attempt to force players to cough out money to purchase solutions to her problem, such as her constellations or certain character(s) to pair with her (like Raiden, Zhongli, etc.)
ANd why I still enjoy Yae. Well, because I have Zhongli, and with his shield my Yae don't have to deal with the problem of NO on her E.
This is not really a "clunkiness can be replaced by skill" in this case, it's more about if you can afford Zhongli or not.
You should add a reason #11: Yae Miko’s turret’s targeting AI can and will often focus other objects or entities such as braziers, stoves, torches, etc., and just simply not even strike an actual enemy, which when combined with the next fact about her Elemental Skill makes it even worse, and that is reason #12: Turrets don’t do any form of AoE damage.
I’ve had someone even tell me when you use Yae Miko against Dvalin, her turrets will actually strike the friggin anemogranas instead of the HUMONGOUS FLYING LIZARD.
This. I was doin coop with a yae user in a signora fight and her turrets just keep destroying signora’s totems. It was a little irritating
they fixed this now i think
Alohaotter Yeah the mihoyo company did our yae miko really bad & it really fucking frustrating
I think hoyoverse is playing it safe here. They can always release a new artifact set or a dedicated support later if a character is underwhelming but they cannot directly nerf a character after thier releases. So if you already had 2 strong teams for the abyss or just doesn't care about it at all, play whoever you like. It's just a shame because her NA animation is so beautiful but utterly useless . Other than that, she's fine imo.
The same thing they did with kokomi
Yes.
ruclips.net/video/sJl-M_dZso8/видео.html
I don't think the hype behind her was at fault, well the hype wasn't because of the kit, most people pull for character related reasons and they want the character they pulled to be strong.
Yes.
ruclips.net/video/sJl-M_dZso8/видео.html
Enjutsu Yeah I definitely agree with you
I was always a little weirded out and confused by people who were hyping up this character for a year and saving everything they obtained over that year for her before she was even a character that could be played.
yeah its a werd phenomena in the genshin community for sure
I'm guilty of your comment 😭 But I dont regret pulling for her despite her issues because electro is my fave element. I literally started saving all my primos after I got Raiden (200 wishes saved with Welkin Moon)
@@weeee455 that's understandable
@@ArkRevnerPlays I'm kinda glad that I lost the 50/50 for her, I think I got caught up in the hype right before her release but I played her test run and it's not my personal favorite. But on the bright side I have the next 5 star guaranteed, so I'll be saving for a potential kazuha rerun, whenever that happens
I don't really mind if people are eager for their waifu/husbando, as love doesn't mean meta. And usually these people are willing to work with the flaws, but wouldn't mind buffs/fixes.
It's a common phenomenon in gacha games where players get excited for a possible playable character. You can usually find NUMEROUS examples in other games, such as Arknights, Granblue Fantasy, FGO, etc. (tldr: SIMPING)
However, people setting up their expectations on her gameplay before her official release is risking themselves getting disappointed. I partly blame leakers here for feeding the hype.
I enjoy playing her, but I _definitely_ want her Normals to do more damage, her E to , and her Burst to recharge a bit better. I don't think any of this would be unbalanced, even all at once. She is just not a great sub-DPS, due to the impossible to avoid field-time issues you raised earlier, so the least they can do it make her a top tier on-field DPS.
She should be a 5☆ version of fischl, sara and beidou, not the exact same as them
Given how hard content is with the dps checks and how the other characters perform they could've done that and she still will never powercreep anyone or trivialize the game, so why not?
I think their artifact and character releases are staggered as a business strategy. Sometimes their sales strategy for the first run is waifu/story appeal so they build up maximizing that and neglecting the meta players is no big deal. Then if later indirect buffs boost that character in the meta they can sell the character to a different set of people in the rerun. It also lets them balance characters with new kind of kits based on the data that they'll gather from the abyss.
Sometimes they do the opposite. Raiden was already the center of the story a patch before she came out and she also had the Emblem set come out a patch before so we could prefarm... and magically they've only done this once coinciding with the one shop reset. Most likely they will do a similar thing to game sales for the next shop reset, maybe with the dendro archon.
Me, I love Yae and her different type of a kit too. She showed up twice in the same 10 pull for me though so I ended up never experiencing the energy problems.
Well said, Mihoyo knows their stuff
This makes a lot of sense. I was planning to get miko on her rerun but she decided to come home at 24 pity and honestly i am loving her. She is beautiful. I love the playstyle
Lol that's just backfired on them this time regarding seeing yae's banner sales
I didn't get her because of her playstyle & the constellation. The mihoyo company ruined it for me. I really wanted her too but the mihoyo company did her wrong. It a fucking shame
I only got back into the game a few months ago, so I didn’t have the same level of hype as others for this unit. When I looked at her kit, I saw she didn’t fit anywhere, so I waited for release and reviews - and will continue to hold until we hear about Ayato’s kit.
smart choice tbh
i did the same even i was really hyped about her, i was holding myself so hard on the first day she released and im kinda glad i didnt pull ;_;
@@ChowingChow
same
Ayato's kit is already out
They should make a Hold E option that deploys all three totems in a cone pattern immediately + iFrame. That would make her gameplay immensely more enjoyable and less clunky.
Naw she's a high skill ceiling unit for a reason. She will require a hard team to pull of her damage at her highest dps. C6 Sucrose, Kazuha, Sara/Fischl/Raiden/Lisa and Yae makes her damage monstrous. She will get the added damage from the Sucrose+Kazuha em synergy while also getting fed particles by her battery.
I'd say she's decent right now but it would be nice if Hoyoverse would give her some quality of life changes.
100% agree
100% Agreed!!!!
Just add I-Frame on her E and reset the duration of totems after the burst without EEE, she would be golden.
Artifact set could fix her somewhat. Or maybe dendro + electro reactions could compliment her well if designed right.
I was honestly SO disappointed when she was released. Her design, personality, involvement in the main storyline, everything about her was so cool. When she was released, however, I wasn’t upset that she wasn’t this op hypercarry that she was hyped to be. I was upset that nothing in her kit made sense! She has a 90 energy cost; her skill is clunky, has to placed in a particular way and is vulnerable to interrupts (even though she’s dashing around literally like Hu Tao does); and then she gets a bonus from EM instead of ER (unlike every other Inazuman Electro character). They also made her skill unable to snapshot. Since the EM rework and the release of weapons like Elegy, the majority of abilities and characters that revolve around EM have been unable to snapshot. In some instances like swirl, it’s cool. Especially if you pulled Elegy. But now it seems like they gotten into the habit of manufacturing these issues to sell you a solution or “benefit”. Constellations like C1 Childe and Hu Tao are a convenience. Yae Miko’s feels like a requirement. That’s why she’s a skip for me now.
i love yae but i have one more problem that wasn't mentioned on the video.. her burst keeps missing targets constantly. if they get knocked back due to overload, there's a jean or ningguangs burst in co-op, she will end up missing the target completely. or only the initial lightning hits the opponent and - worst case scenario - 3 others miss. it's So frustrating especially since i have to wait a long time to cooldown and recharge the burst
Oh true, that why I never run overloaded again small enemies tbh 😅
On fast bosses like Raiden she can easily miss all 4.
They target place even +/- 1s after mob move.
it's no different from other character. Raiden's burst can miss on fast moving enemies. Eula can miss her burst if enemies fly or teleported like those wolves, PMA, etc. Ayaka's burst can miss if the enemies are freed from being frozen or against bosses who moves a lot.
@@いざ身雪気 yes, i know. but this is especially frustrating with yae since she locks all 3 (4 with the initial lightning) in one place. she doesn't lock on the enemy but the ground. which means she keeps missing the actual enemies if they move just a little bit. i wasn't talking about fast moving enemies or teleporters, that's a whole different chapter
Liina & that is the reason why I didn't get her including her constellations
Until seeing different youtube videos, i didnt even know people didnt like her.
I did pull for her and I do like her; I now almost feel "guilty" for liking her/getting her.
I have a ganyu too, and I have devoted a lot of resources to Ganyu, but as a F2P I practically ignore 5* constellations.
I guess I like yae because she so different from my main carry and she allows me to switch things up. She isnt particularly strong, but I didnt need her to be to be satisfied.
Hearing peoples' concerns is eye opening though. It'd be cooler if she was more accessible, but that's a futile request for a limited gacha character.
Releasing an artifact set could help, but one could argue that most sets that benefit her would slot into her competition just as easily.
Kinda growing bored of people identifying flaws and seeing people in comments brag about how happy they are with the character; lording this over others like a prize...
I'm fine with Yae, but I havent been as "happy" as I was with other characters.
I will devote more resources to her in the future, as they come, but she's "okay" as she is and that is enough for me
🌸🌺It is not shock to be yielded with respect to Yae Miko, there was no way she could live up to the unrealistic hype which surrounded her and it was bound to be she would not release to satisfactory standard!🌺🌸
I agree, people REALLY over hyped her. I do think there are legitimate issues with her kit, but I doubt she could have met the unrealistic expectations regardless.
thank god I didn't pick her. I'm going for Shogun
i think Mihoyo change her kit because most people already farmed shimenawa set.
but the animation for the character is already complete
Hype is just one aspect of it. But as a DPS, she doesn't even bring the numbers. Either an artifact set will fix her or they held back with soon to come dendro reactions in mind, whatever that is.
@@lancevance6346 Now you know that's a lie. If anything, Yae brings the numbers and has other 'issues' that need to be worked around.
Honestly, the 3 dashes ability and the fact that her burst is stronger when all three are out, makes me happy to have her as main dps, bc I feel she needs to stay present for the majority of the time, instead of just be a burst explosion. I get that personal opinion is way less valuable than meta, but I love the way she is (except the constellation part bc as a f2p I can only care about her C0)
honestly i like that her ult costs 90 energy because that means raiden's E increases her burst more than anyone elses, seeing as how yae miko is raidens familiar and best friend this is a nice flavour imo. A lot of other points remain tho.
Yes if you have raiden
Not everyone has raiden
Pulling another 5☆ cost primos

They are encouraging you to whale and ppl may not like that
@@kittenmimi5326 well many chars get better with signature weapons, esp for yae cause catalysts are bad for now.

Rather c6 power spike, but Raiden having a c2 power spike was just rare
for me her problem is Energy and The amount of field time she need to recash the tottem. The dmg factor actually fine, and im using Millith set for permanent 20% atk boost for the team. i hope somehow she can place all her tottem in one Hold E.

I wished for her as soon as she came out based on design and won my 50/50. I’m currently playing Hu Tao, Xinqiu, Ganyu and Yae and I can actually say she adds a lot of consistent electro damage to my team. While her burst doesn’t do as much damage as I want I’ll keep building her, because I think every character can be good if you want them to be, with the right build. It really just depends on who you want to play, and in the end, it’s just a game and people can play it however they want.
(Really good video though like always!)
wishing this on the next patch
Yae miko buff⏫:
*Increases yae miko's Aoe on Elemental skill strike.
*increases yae miko's Elemental burst Aoe.
*When cast Elemental skill She will summon seshu sakura much faster.
*increases yae miko's Normal Atk range.
*increases yae miko's Normal Atk dmg.
*increases yae miko's Elemental skill Range
*Yae miko's elemental skill will strike 1.5s
instead of 2s
*Every strike of seshu sakura will generate a electro particle
*Increases yae miko's charge Atk casting much faster.
*Whenever yae miko summon a seshu sakura will ignore interuption but will receive dmg.
*When yae miko hits an enemy the seshu sakura will prioritize it.
Bug⏬:
When yae miko cast her Elemental Skill under water she will continue to do her post.
Her seshu sakura cannot hit a prioritize thing.
Thankyou i hope this will happen✅🛡️
This video pretty much sums up everything that concerns me when using Yae Miko specially the iFrame part during the E skill dash. I got jebaited by this at her trailer.. i thought she could dodge an attack with E skill but nope. She either dies in 2 hits from certain bosses or get knockback and fly away while trying to place 3 totems.
Also, good thing you mentioned the C1 and C2 constellations too because I thought about it too. They REALLY hold back her potential to be a great character. (Shes great and fun but very lacking).
We really need to show our disappointment regarding Yae's functionality during the Survey. I recall Mona's Sprint being lowkey buffed some patches ago as it was too slow, so they can solve the E problem with a I Window and quicker animation. After that and her Artifact Set, she is in the sweet spot of a niche yet fun character
whens the survey?
I've been extensively playing with my Yae Miko for a week now and the majority of the problems that have been bugging me the most are mechanical issues.
When I compare let's say Xiao or Sucrose and you are putting down multiple elemental skills at once. Xiao's elemental skill animation is really fast so the next instance your finger presses the skill button you can immediately perform another one, with Sucrose I believe is the same where you can activate another instance of the elemental skill while the previous one's animation effects haven't even finished yet.
With Yae Miko you cannot simply spam the skill button to perform all of them and you need to wait for a certain split second before you can perform the next one. So when you are locked in this animation you cannot dodge away and you end up getting hit and knocked back because there are no s and you can't even dodge in the middle of it. It doesn't help either that her auto attacks are already incredibly slow for a catalyst, paired with that slow skill cast time - If you were trying to solo Raiden Shogun with Yae, your greatest threat to your existence is when Raiden plops down the three electroculi since Yae's autos are so slow it feels like a 50 50 you would die from it exploding or manage to survive just a split second away from death.
There are also scenarios you would get stuck on an inclined surface and trying to elemental skill your way out of it won't work and causes you to eat one of your totems which creates annoyances, this is the Ayaka and Mona dash all over again.
I was a bit underwhelmed by Yae Miko, obviously yme being f2p i only got her as C0 but that is because i was expecting her to be a main dps but her scaling is so low, later i realized that she is more of a sub dps and i just didn't care as much after that.
So, I've built her with a R5 Widsith and 2 piece thundering fury with 2 piece glad with 81 criit rate an 214 crit dmg with 145 ER but I'm no longer using her, still sticking with my normal ganyu team
Edit: I think I should use her still to get that friendship level 10
If u guys have extra primo gems, save it for Raiden banner maybe to get C2 Raiden instead of Yae Miko is what I'd suggest anyone
talking about hype, I don't think anyone should dare comparing any character with ganyu, she still is THE BEST DPS in the game, one cant just compare anyone to ganyu, that comparison holds a lot of weight, one mustn't compare mere mortal dps to a ungodly amount of dps that ganyu provides
err no her scaling is very high but you pretty much need raiden to make her viable
( it solves her energy issues + her foxes can proc assisted attacks + shogun increase burst damage)
I was mostly after Thoma constellations since Zhongli didn't run up but got Yae pretty early. Since I went in with the expectation of "Fischl but with a nuke," and happened to have Lost Prayer and good enough artifacts to hit 80/160 crit stats and 170% ER on her she's been pretty nice to have. I generally run her on either my Raiden/Eula team with Diona, or with the C2 Keqing I got from Zhongli's banner in an EC comp and have no issues funding her burst at C0. But I guess that's more just Yae giving a purpose to some 5* debris I had from poor standard banner luck.
Just gotta find a home for Skyward Atlas now.
So true! I feel like recent characters are defective and the only way to "fix" them is through obtaining constellations. Unlike 4 star characters, they get better when constellations are unlocked. For 5 stars, they get "fixed".
not rly .... you fix nearly all her issues if you pair her with shogun
@@alanea5860 ah yes. everyone has a Shogun.
@@reconserra9997 well its most rolled character in history :D
just saying shes basically must have to make yae miko viable
Exactly! Everyone who says she will get fix when paired with Raiden clearly misses the point.
@Preetish Pratihari you fix her energy .....
but stíll lack
- % burst dmg ,
- assisted attack spammed by foxes
- another 5* to utilize her unusually low downtime
and getting shogun in upcoming banned is 110% time better than another yae
its top tier character fiting in most strong parties
Is Yae Miko disappointing?
No, Yae Miko best girl. She may take some work but it’s worth it for kitsune goddess writer.
Her high burst cost compliments Raiden shogun since Raiden gets stronger dependent on the % of another characters burst
I wanted her since I watch her rol on the story, I heard she would be busted and such but so I heard from Kokomi so I was cautious with my expectations. In the end I think she's kinda like Shenhe, expensive to reach its maximun potential and dependant on full 5* teams. It's like a trend on Hoyoverse lately. I pulled for Yae anyway and I enjoyed her gameplay and design, but I cannot recommend her to a new player nor anyone that only factors the meta aspect of a character on their choice.
Idk how they release a character like yae miko with so much problems and they had mounths to work on her ... they really need to fix her but i dont think they will even care its just so sad 😔
I pulled for her because of her character design, and she worked very well with my Raiden. Never regret for a moment doing so for Yae~
90 energy cost to sell her C1, triple EEE to sell her signature weapon. Instead of making a good catalyst for most character, they can make specific 5 star weapon that is good for specific character. No reason to see why she need to cast totemx3. While 1 would have suffice if they design it like that. Feels like they purposely scuffed her kit.
honestly Im so glad I like her, I saved up primos and money for a few months to get her! My new favourite for sure :) I use her with my Rosaria, Sucrose and Bennett and am having a blast :)
Having fun is all that matter at the end of the day! ☺️
With the Sumeru fast approaching and New Reaction Catalyze is revealed. I do hope this will make Yae Miko shine. If the Catalyze reaction will be the same as Vape and Melt then the Elemental Mastery scaling on her Skill might be put in good use. Cuz I actually questioning why they would put this kind of talent on Yae Miko. So Yeah, I do hope she would perform well in Sumeru Updates cuz of she has Rerun I will pull for her.
The player base overhyped her because of her looks, yes she has at least top 3 best character designs but looks don't make the character break the game and this makes most the community really disappointing because they decide the character whether is good or not before it's even released and is there a better example for this than Kazuha
I regret pulling for Yae not because of the rumor, leaks, or hype, i never expected her to be at Ganyu, Xiao, Hu Tao, Raiden, or Kazuha level. I pulled her because i thought she could replace my already fully invested Fischl. I got tired ranting about how annoying her overall kit is. My overall rate for Yae is 7/10. 7 because i still love the electro element. i could go down more if she wasn’t an electro element. It’s disgusting to see her C1. Her C1 could have been her second passive talent and her current second passive talent can go to C1.
The 90 energy burst holds her back so much. It forces her to be paired with an electro battery. There's inly three though and I doubt anyone uses electro traveler.
reasons you stated that i disagree with:
1. dynamic scaling > snapshot
- allows her to make use of kagura's verity passive.
- potentially a great 4pc ToM user
2. 90 energy cost
- allows her to get huge buff from raiden's E (assuming you have raiden)
- majority of her damage comes from her E
3. er issues / constellations
- er can be easily fixed with raiden or another electro character + electro resonance
- saying that it is mandatory for yae to have another electro sounds like saying xl needs bennett, hu tao needs xq, ayaka needs hydro character. basically i don't think it's a big issue since that's how the game works
- c1 is a bonus, makes team rotation and gameplay easier. similar to hu tao c0 vs c1
Yae actually works better (for me) as a main DPS. Her E skill IS her normal attacks. I pair her with Fischl as a battery (I use my Raiden for my National team). It's true that she does need some 5* supports (I have ZL for shield, and Kazuha for elemental buff). As far as artifacts, I just plopped my best unused Glad/Shim artifacts. She clears the Abyss more easily than (and just as fast as) my other 2nd team main DPS (i.e. Eula, and Ayaka before Eula).
Well she said she was a VIP at the end of her story quest. Luxury is what she wants from us, get her signature weapon, constellation, expensive team and all in all if you not give her treatment like Queen she became a troll
I think yae has additional major problems. Whe she cast her burst extra lightning strikes from the consumed totem always Target the same area as the initial burst instead of targeting the enemy hit by the burst. wheather there are enemies or not. So the extra stick frequently attack an empty space. Her burst 90 cost. This is a huge dps lose. And even her E skill target all the targetable physical things like cooking spot, torches and etc.. instead of enemies. Also fighting with witches e skill target her pets instead of witch. All of her auto targets sucks. Theses problem very disappointing. And all the issues arkrevnerplays mention totally true and agreed.. mihoyo need to fix these things. I love her kit , story, personality and playstyle. These things very frustrating.. and constellations argg.....!
Yep when you use three totem and do burst only the torch get hit instead off enemy. Lol
Didn't pull for her, simply due to the neglecting attitude Hoyoverse has had towards the game play aspect of the Inazuma characters, making them extremely niche and hard to fit in different teams or replaceable with other 4*star units is probably the worst way to sell a character, this is a game first and story later. I'm relieved and also sad I had to skip her knowing this before-hand.
yae miko still deal some damage , she pretty fun to play , though the charge attack the problem
She is a major letdown. The truth has to be said flat out. If she didn't you wouldn't see many negativity and complaints of her on the internet so that tells you something already of where she belongs and what most people think.
I love Yae, and she is paired with Ei, I just wish her AI Totem Targeting was better, and not attack the berry trees, and the camp fires. Her new play style is different and refreshing.
A big reason for me to stop pulling for her (48 pulls into pity, lost 50/50 so guaranteed pull) was that her skill will actually attack torches, campfires, the bats that fly around the electro fatui, it's a lose of damage, their targeting logic doesn't make sense. I'm F2P so I have to be very selective on who I pull for with my precious primos.
Those myths are already been debunked and tested by a certain RUclipsr. It's not a bug and it works perfectly fine. I've cleared abyss with level 70 yae with all level 6 talents. She's perfectly fine.
@@tanyavondegurechaff6998 I've seen her skill attack the bats flying around the mages, were they able to disprove that? I'm not questioning her usability, it's just that she doesn't have i-frames when casting her skill unlike other characters do, interrupting while casting 3 totems takes time and being interrupted or knocked back eats up more time.
I'll most likely pull for her during her rerun, but I need a Kokomi more than a Yae in terms of usability. Also, where's my season 2! And how did Mary Sue survive after getting shot in the throat, you should have aimed for the head!
@@tanyavondegurechaff6998 nah it will target campfires and stuff but i think it prioritises what it would consider "living" first IIRC so it's not really too much an issue but some things have weird priorities or count as "living" such as the wind butterflies like in dvalin fight for example i think.
@@mozzie2729 yes, i do agree with QOL adjustment with her E skills. Like s and her burst should not destroy her totems but refresh it's duration. Go with kokofish they go well with each other. My team consist with Zhongli, Albedo, Kokomi and Yae soo there's that. Shield probably helped a lot with her clunky play style.
Me too mate. Me tooo. We could only hope for s2 as well for Yae adjustments. Cheers.
@@halowars400762 that's actually correct, it hits certain object if there's no monster inside it's specific radius but I haven't encountered her E skill hitting butterflies or cicin flies. I'll try to post the link below for his explanation and I completely agree with him. I haven't encountered any problems with her in open world.
Stay strong man, I know you're struggling right now. Your community cares a great deal about you!
Thanks you have no idea how much that means to me. Its been a rough year, so im just taking things one step at a time!
I'm really disappointed by amount of people saying "well if she just had her own artifact set" or "well when Dendro comes out in 20 years, it will have a reaction that will save the character".
No. Fucking no. Characters should be tested and adjusted. Its not even all numbers issue, its straight up obscenely long animations and wards attacking inanimate objects. There was not a single effort applied to balance and polish - and it never will, because these devs never do anything. Between old characters, and Xinyan and Sara and Kokomi, and now Yae, I'm on my last leg with Mihoyo. To do such a good job artistically and not give a single fuck for quality of life and pleasure of playing, you need to be a special being.
I’ve actually found she has really good combos with Genyu, and I love her how she plays.
I'm a new player at Genshin. Started just a few days ago. Haven't seen any clips of Yae before, first encountered her in her test mode. I didn't have any expectations at all, I came across the test mode by accident while checking menu items. But I immediately felt Yae was right up my alley.
I really like her. And I totally agree with the video, correcting all these points could make her much better. Maybe it's just me, but to me it's perceived as something that just has to be the best. In any role, but without any doubt the best. So when in any role she can be replaced by a cheaper alternative it's sad.
But in any case, I'm glad I got her (c6r5 omfg). Even if her mechanics remain unchanged and she doesn't get her artifacts, I plan to continue using her as the main DPS.
I feel like with her kit, if they need to change her they need to lean into the more DPS side of things.
More damage on burst to justify the cost, or just bring it down to 60 or 70 energy. Increase that EM scaling for the skill or just flat increase the damage. If her burst stays at 90 cost, make her skills all generate 5 particles. If it goes down to 60-70, they should all generate 3. i-frames for the dash, because as squishy dps she'll need it. More range on normals, much faster normals and charged attacks. Make her use all that field time she needs to her advantage.
This would make her an insanely good driver for electro-charged teams, and while it wouldn't make her useable in a lot of other teams, it would make her definitively the best electro sub-dps and a good main dps. You'd still have to build teams around her, but now she's not a weird gray area between sub dps and dps where at low team investment she's not great as either.
Since she is so connected to Ei, it is a bit understandable why her energy burst is so hight. Those 2 have to be in one team which means money for the company. Her constellation one is a substitue for Ei (I know about the existence of Fischl but wanted to stay on the 5 star side of characters)
I already have a well-built Ayaka and Hu Tao. Both of them lead my Abyss team as main dps. I needed like an off-field dps/ subdps and Yae was perfect for me so i pulled and got her in 15 wishes(50/50) which i'm really happy about. I love her sm tho she does need a fix for some bugs and most importantly, her own signature artifacts set. I also heard that a dendro support for her might come out soon so i'll keep my Hopium for that future updates.🦊🌸
That being said, i'm still planning to Double-crown her ⚡
I think just like Kokomi, Yae will be buffed via a new artifact set. I'm thinking an artifact set with a 2pc increasing skill damage and 4pc multiplying the skill damage based on the number of skills used. Just my thoughts though..
That would be great for Diluc too or C1 Xiao.
C6 xiao will be power creep every characters with this set, since his C6 transform him from plunge attacker into elemental skill abuser
She's is DEFINITELY a playable character. I only been playing since December 13th 2021. I came into Genshin on the last Raiden Shogun banner. I literally played each of her Constellations for 2 days to see the difference (yes I spent for her C6 because I liked her skills cause they coincide with my play style and she was worth every penny)
Right now I have her at:
Level 70
Level 90 R5 Oathworns Eye (given for free from Three Realms event)
Severed Fate Set
Her Attack is at 2,794 right now. Crit Rate 50% (and goes up as she levels) and Crit DMG is at 100%.
Since I joined others in co op they couldn't believe her power at only Level 70.
Basically this is for LAZY players. If you put the time and care into your characters and build them into your play style instead of being so damn lazy and wanting auto play basically to run it for them. Go back to auto-play mobile games if you cannot take the time and learn her motions and steps for attacks because it's the same distance EVERYTIME.
Not to mention I am running her World Level 7.
Level 90 Ganyu C1
Level 60 Diluc C0
Level 80 QiQi C0
With this team. I RAN through Three Gates over a 2 day weekend I had off and how I received her FREE!!! R5 4 Star Weapon.
If you don't like me because I'm sick of lazy ass gamers wanting everything handed to them instead of grinding hard to build a beast character. Then keep it pushing and find a nice Auto-Play MMORPG in Play Store. ✌️💯
YAE MIKO FOR ARCHON PRESIDENT
There's also that one issue in coop where it's basically ONE Yae Miko with FOUR bodies... what I mean is, we can only have 3 e's on the field, and using an e from another player will override yours.
I completely forgot about this!!! Yeah that's a huge YIKES
Most dolphin or new players might not notice this but as a vet, 4-star is also a big reason to decide which banner to pull especially if you are F2P/low spender but already have most 4 star at C6 (while whale will just pull on anything they want so they are a non-factor)
Fischl and Diona are great characters but they are really old and most of us have them at C6, while Thoma is only decent on Hu Tao and if you have Zhongli already and doesn't use him in the other chamber cuz of freeze/international/taser then he is not valuable at all, on top of that there is also 50/50 to think about
So I end up spending 10k gem on weapon banner instead and luckily got Jade Cutter. I want the catalyst but the sword is just as good and the 4 stars are just what I need while if I pull on Yae the chance of getting her is only half while the 4 star is useless so I might just waste 70 pull on absolutely nothing. I really like her character and overall design but she is just not worth it at this point
Maybe on her rerun, esp if she got some buff/artifact and weapon that suits her outside of her BIS 5 star
Yae Miko now, that Dendro released:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Personally I like yae I use her with fischl kokomi and Mona and she made my team alot more powerful and she is the first character I'm taking to 90 also because I use her in a team that doesn't use dendro I look for older videos as the newer ones talk about dendro and I'm not using her with dendro and she is one of the few characters i actually used money to get and I'm happy with her performance and i don't mind how much on field time she takes i even enjoy using her normal attacks to trigger the reactions and she even became one of the most powerful characters on my account
The video would be much interesting if instead you points out why Yae is decent at C0, quite good at C2 , and very powerful at c6. Myhoyo don't want any new characters become too op, and ending up speeding up powercreep. I actually find Yae playstyle refreshing, and it is a right direction for a company to diversify playstyle rather than simply making a new characters op. For whatever reason, people like to complain and hate, especially those very vocal on the internet forum.
Its honestly sad that yae isnt best in slot for any team. Shes just there.
Yeah ngl we all thought she would out match every single character and that her kit was bewildering but haha... Seems not everything can go your way. But don't get me wrong Yae Miko is a great character and is strong in her own way but Hoyoverse just didn't handle her situation as well as we thought. But let's pray that she will get a buff or a new artifact set.
She desperately needs a new set asap. but yeah people really overhyped her over the past few months
@@ArkRevnerPlays But could you blame them? It's Yae Miko were talking about. People have been waiting for her since little chibi from 1.5 CN livestream.
Hopefully they fix her. A lot of players especially cn players are angry about how her kit turn out. And she’s an anticipated unit so she should at least be a unit that feels nice to use.
I'm assuming her set is gonna be similar to a 5 star gambler, which would increase skill dmg
@@lawfulgoodnun1646 That would be nice but also adding some ER because C0 Miko's ER is very uhm how do I say annoying.
I use her on my overload team with Yoimiya, Thoma and Jean and my Geo mono team with Itto, Albedo and Gorou. In both teams she feels really fun. In the overload team sweeping away small mobs with Thoma and in the geo team where both Goro with elegy and albedo with EM buff both boost Yae's burst when Itto isn't ready. She is def a luxury char and sadly she def needs C1 to be flexible enough to be enjoyable but I'm really enjoying her. If someone had to choose between her and Raiden though I would say Raiden all the way. However you should play this game with characters you like not characters that are meta
This makes me worry about Ayato now. I feel like he’s going to be sub par and only good with units you already have built up.
One thing Ayato has going for him is he's gonna be hydro, which is huge for reactions even though there's a super limited number of hydro characters, especially since the only hydro dps right now is Childe who's more of an enabler. So I think he'll probably be good still as long as they don't mess up his kit
@@Akeyins Childe IS NOT an enabler
@@Akeyins I don’t use my Childe with Xiangling or Beidou/Fischl.
@@maraisfan4life517 Well yeah every character can be played however you want, but he works best as an enabler. It's the same as how you could run Zhongli as a physical main dps but it wouldn't be the most useful way of playing him.
Also I say this as a Childe main who doesn't use him as an enabler either 90% of the time.
Thank you for giving that kind of objective critique that will for sure help players make the good choice, compared to those content creators overhyping her.
When I saw that people started training themselves with Lisa in preparation for Yae Miko's banner, I quickly thought that her skill would take that much time, and boy was I right. She is a squishy version of Lisa who's thirsty for that C2 Lisa constellation that would turn her from a beta to an alpha female. Luckily for me, I've used Lisa plenty enough to find myself comfortable with Yae Miko. It's so funny how similar they are with Lisa's turret burst also hitting miscellaneous objects the same way Yae Miko's is. As long as Yae Miko's long uptime is compensated with tankiness and some durability will the playerbase begin to actually like her. I find myself avoiding her issues by using support characters that I find she would be needing: A taunted to assure that she doesn't get slapped, a battery for her burst, and a resistor such as a shield or a damage reduction forcefield like XQ skill. Funnily enough, Lisa and Yae Miko have a smooth rotation together considering they both play slow unlike other dps characters, whether skill or sub dps.
I agree with a lot of the points you brought up. Yae Miko is a unfriendly character to f2p people like myself. Also, without her own set of artifacts, its hard to get her to the best she can be. Which makes me upset because Yae Miko is a really good character story wise and I think a lot of people would agree with me. But as I said before, its hard to save up primos as it is, and Yae Miko’s constellation is just Hoyoverse reaching into a lot of people pockets. I can understand why she’s not a character for everyone, but overall with the right supports she can be a pretty good dps.
To be honest, I totally agree with you and your opinion. I thought she would be like Raiden who is a great character but I expected so much that I ended up being disappointed. I was waiting for her and when I heard about the complaints my heart shattered. I may be gunrateed for her but after hearing this, I might be pulling for Raiden and Kokomi.
i honestly think most reasons are fine as i personally never thought of her to be meta defining. she'll obviously get better with investment, like all other characters.
though i do think her c1 is scummy af. i think her issues go beyond this, not damage issues, but in that she is the buggiest character to date. imagine buying a character and having her freeze your mouse LOL.
For those saying hutao c1 doesn't worth much, read below and hope you realize it.
Im using hutao c0 since her release in March 2020, getting her c1 back in Nov over homa is the best thing I ever done cause it change hutao team damage potential. I need to remind you again her c1 only will benefit you in spiral abyss where time is limited. People like Usman here don't know how to differentiate DPS (damage per second) with DA (total damage per atk). Remember doing 100k damage per 2 second is not the same as 100k per 3 second. This is where hutao c1 allow you to make dash cancel instead of jump cancel. You save time you increase your DPS. ANOTHER major thing is you need to remember stamina consumption is not for hutao only but it's shared among 4 character. for hutao c0, when your E ends your stamina usually at 0 since u spam those charge atk, but c1 you will still have enough for others to use for sprint / avoid enemies atk and to cycle back to Hutao again for the next E window. Those extra stamina will save you a lot of time and your DPS increase sigmificantly. Just my 2 cent DPS is useless in overworld, so don't waste time comparing c0 with c1 unless you want to kill those spiral abyss faster. I just laugh when people compare c0 and c1 by doing jump cancel on stationary pattern. 🤣, This is not random baseless comment, I use her for nearly 1 year, and her c1 save me about 30-40 second in spiral abyss compare to c0. Getting homa over dragonsbane won't save me that much time.
well c2 shogun can double your dmg as well ...
many characters have OP c1 / c2
For me, Yae is definitely good. It's just the people who expected a little bit too much. I mean it's not bad to be hype for an upcoming character who plays a big role in the archon quest, but there is a saying that says "Lower your expectation to be not disappointed."
Edit: Tbh, I think the major problem that Yae is dealing right now is her Energy cost and the ER. I think we should wait for an artifact that is definitely built for her so we can know if she is really bad or above average
It may be over hype but the big problem is that she’s an electro sub-DPS that offers nothing for the team. They should’ve either made her an on-field DPS, a sub-DPS with supportive capabilities, or made her a full support instead.
Instead, we got a sub-DPS that can only apply electro, the most meh reactions in this game.
@@TacticalDimples Yeah, I can agree with you here
I think her C1 is such a big jump in quality and an new artifact REALLY would help her!
I appreciate the time you took to make this video and I do enjoy watching your videos, I even watch most of them.
Though, these kinds of videos don’t sit too well with me. I know it will sound hypocritical since I watched in anyway, but I was hoping for actual major issues.
Yaes kit isn’t the best in the game, absolutely, but Mihoyo never said it would be. Her kit was shown before her release.
The fact that the auto or charged attacks takes too long, we all saw footage of it before her release.
If you don’t like her kit or believe it’s insufficient or even just not good enough, don’t pull for her. I tried her, didn’t like her play style, didn’t pull.
“She has things holding her back from being top tier”, every new character can’t be top tier. Every 5* can’t be SS+ tier, they also don’t have to be. You choose what to do with your primos, you could simply choose to not pull for her, but to save up and wait for a character that is. If they keep making the new characters better than the last, it just wouldn’t work. Mihoyo can’t be held responsible because fans had their expectations set too high even though there was no basis to support the rumors or claims.
I really like your videos and this comment isn’t specifically targeted towards you but towards the Genshin community as a whole,
I really recommend everyone to pull for the characters they like, if that’s their design, VA, kit, dmg numbers etc.. then that’s totally fine. But keep in mind that not all 5* will be a new ganyu or hu tao or xiao.
I literally give my guaranteed for her, wish i skipped her for kazuha :(
im sorry😕
All fair points. I love playing Yae. I even replaced a pretty decked out C6 fischl with her. But I also saved my primos since 2.3 ended to get her weapon + C3, and will be saving even more for her rerun in an attempt to get C6. Most characters lack a lot of vital gameplay mechanics they can only get in their constellations, but C1 and C2 Yae just feel like they should have been baseline.
Well yeah shes good with const + signature, no shit...
@@kittenmimi5326 Weirdly passive aggressive take. Most characters feel incomplete without 1 or 2 constellations. The exceptions are characters like Aloy or Amber who don't get anything with their constellation (or don't have one). I have many 5 stars at C0, and a few at C1 or C2. Lo and behold, the C0's feel weaker than their C6 4 star counterparts. Raiden at C0 was a massive disappointment and I'm not sure why people would use her if they have a C4 or C6 Fischl, but her C2 makes her great. I've learned to not just randomly pull for 5 stars because of this. Because the C0's feel worthless. I save and save so I can get at least C2. And I plan to go back and get C2 of some of my favorite's reruns.
As much as people claim that other 5 stars do well at C0 out of the box, I'll have to hard disagree on that. Pretty much every 5 star suffers at C0, and pretty much all of them have a 4 star counterpart that's just straight up better than them at C6.
Wow! 4 likes even before the video premiered.

Ayaka and ganyu has super strong passives on both their two passives(cryo dmg and CA NA dmg bonus, cryo infusion, and crit rate) . But yae has one the passive that fix the problem of her totem dissapear when burst that this problem should not exist if her designed properly. And the second passive scale based EM which a bit useless because on her every other kit there is not any one of them scale based on EM. So no one really stack EM substats on her and better focused on other sub stats. If you look at raiden she has so many ability and support kind buff included on her E and Q then give more on her passives and her scale with ER works with her signature weapon, artifacts and passives(0.4 %every ER over 100% is very good scaling) . Why yae has nothing add on ability on her E and Q then her pasives even sucks and like its really okay if those passive were not exists. Just look at her passives it's clear that something wrong with her kit design during development. And her potential its money locked, you need C6 sara (60 % cdm) and raiden c6 for decreasing her 22 s to 17 s). Yeah made so many problem and you have to buy the solutions. She tuned very low because of those OP Constellations on other characters
I agree with basically all of your points. I adore Yae and personally love playing with her but I wish her skill had i-frames at the very least
solar pearl really work wonder for her
I run her with
fischl + elegy (still farming for tenacity)
xingqiu + 4 set noblesse
yae miko + solar pearl
jean + 4set vv
this team really work well together, with the main focus on maximizing yae miko's skill dmg
not the best of course but I already got enough unit to 36* abyss so yeah for fun only
also I have feeling we will have problem with elemental burst in the future so having yae miko is kinda future proofing
Yeah you're right, but in my opinion she is not that underwhelming, because I knew this would happened.
Why they're didn't release a set at her lauch..?
Because the rotation of a new set is after 3 / 4 update
I still enjoy her, but damn she feels clunky...
They should give her Super armor..
And please just add Hold E 😭 ( all totem will spawn ) but the cd is 10 second/12 second that would be great imo
I think Yae is an excellent character and one of my favorites but i know she has lots of problems i think what you suggested on the skill as a buff would be amazing. I do hope one day does become a meta defining character with a new artifact set but i enjoy her to bits as is hopefully we get something for her
Never cos fischl exist
She needs no buffs. She is a beast. This guy and this community are bunch of care bear whiners.
Nice review about Yae Miko, now I'm convinced I shouldn't pull for her as of now as it is impossible for me to reach for her c1 now 😆. Tbh I don't really mind that some characters having to get constelation upgrade to be comfrortably used, in the end we can only use so much on at a time. I feel like having some really usable is more important than having all characters.
Also her E skill is consumed after using her burst... unlike Albedo and Fischl, meaning more time on field to cast skill again.
I think you are giving her a little too much credit there at the end. If you say that a c6 fischl will outperform a c 0 miko, to me that means miko is just worse than fischl. I always hated the constelation system since the game launched, and im supprised they didn't put in "elemental skill no longer targets fires or torches" into her c4.
C6 Fischl will outperform C0 Miko? Is it not?
Agree completely. One of the issues I have with her is the fact that she takes so long on field that pairing her with Benny, Xingqiu, Beidou can be complicated, give how the last 2 ults are tied to a character's normal atks, and she takes too much time on Bennys circle. So I'm trying to find a way to pair her with characters that don't take too much field time. I've completed the abyss with Raiden, Fischl, Jean and Yae. It was nice. But now I'm trying her with burst Rosaria, and I like it. I do think she'll be better with characters like that.... But also I am not a tc. Her not snapshotting is terrible too...... Like Diona. I thought getting a c6 Diona would be good for my Yae bc of 200 em but as soon as shr leaves the field, for another character, there goes Dionas buff.... It's a mess. I love Yae still and am getting used to her gameplay and am think it's enjoyable. Of course play style is extremely personal yet it's a fact that, even if you like her, like i do, Fischl is way more comfortable to use.
I personally don't have a problem, since my intent reason of pulling is simply because I want her. And even though I have her at C0 (with her weapon), she feels fine for me personally, since I don't really go that much for meta, and also don't really do the Spiral Abyss. However, the only thing I really felt was missing, was not having Raiden Shogun, since if I did, then there'd be constant damage from both parties, while using Childe and Kazuha for DPS and gathering. I would pull more, but I'm saving for someone.
The Points you made about Yae Miko are Very Sound and thought of. I had different expectations with Yae Miko; I expected her to be the First Electro Healer. But when I saw the leaks, esp her Totems; I expected to create an Entrapment Field similar to the Thunder Manifestation, caging enemies & dealing continious Electro Damage. Then I saw her Burst, I was greatly disappointed, look like a Glorified Sara Burst.
And you're right, if You have a well-built Fischl or Beidou (I have a C5 Fischl), You don't Really Need Yae Miko. It would had help if her E had i-frames or super-armor--- But No, maybe HoYoVerse thought it would make her Broken.
And Yes, to make her OP you need C6--- Ironic, Raiden has her Major Breaking Constellation at C2.
Yae Miko is suffering from the Reverse Kokomi Syndrome; So Hype to Get Her; Post-I-got-her, People aren't So Happy afterwards.
As with Kokomi, She had Tremendous & Unfair Hate Towards her because of some Content Creators & Meta-Chads. I was One of the Rare People that Actually Pulled on her; Spent $100 worth to get her & her weapon--- With No Regrets Whatsoever, She Everything I expected; Healer, Tank, Driver, & My 1st Hydro Main DPS. Yes, I treat her as My Main Hydro DPS.
I have a Well-Built Heart of the Depth Set; HP%/ATK%/EM/ER Subs on the Flower & Feather. And EM Sands/Hydro Goblet/& Healing Bonus Circlet, long before the Ocean Hued Clam Set--- I regret giving up that Set & farming OHC pieces with not much luck ( Getting Crit Substats 😭 ).
With this much Disappointment with Yae Miko now, I wouldn't be Surprise, if out of the blue, announce an artifact set for her in 2.6 or 2.7 😆
i fell in love with genshin a few months ago and somehow i seem to love all the 5 stars with issues or that none of my friends wanted to pull on. yoimiya, kokomi, childe, albedo, now yae miko. i was always excited to pull for them and then i'd read all the negative comments and it would put a damper on my hype and even make me question if i should go for them. i know it's always "just pull them if you like them" and i did! and i do follow the mindset of playing characters i like instead of meta, but it also bothers me that for some reason "my characters" are always flawed and i don't find joy in the designs and playstyles of the meta characters, i didn't pull for raiden, hu tao, itto, ganyu, eula cause i just liked the other banner characters so much more. kazuha will be the first one i love and gonna pull for who has nothing but praise from everyone, istg if there's some form of nerf before his banner i'm gonna lose it.
anyways despite my rant, i really liked your video and the way you so objectively explained her flaws. i do agree. when i got her and her weapon i built her with the best artifact pieces i had and she just became my strongest character and i was able to get more stars on abyss and i was really happy with her. but i guess any character can be strong if you've got the right build. anyways i still like her (and all my characters) despite their flaws, and have fun with their kits :)
So i have an idea for a reworked Yae E where if you hold down her skill you would summon all her totems(her dash is still an option though) as for her burst it would still be the same. PS: i thought of an animation for her holding down her E where she would do her idle animation with her gohei but instead just a semi circle there would also be an indicator that all three of her totems would be ready to be summoned it would sort of look like the tomoe crest but with three foxes instead
Tbh, I am not even pulling for dedicated 5 star characters anymore. I pull on a banner if it features at least two 4 star characters that I don't have a C6 on. The 5 star is a nice addition, but since they are now often also doing double banners, chances are high that I at least don't have one of the 5 star characters so I don't need to stop myself in pulling for the 4 stars (because even if I don't pull for a certain 5 star, getting constellations is far less interesting to me than getting a new character).
i would be more thrilled about yae being a healer/support
we have no electro healer atm, out of 9 characters (in comparison, water has 2 and a half, out of 5).. even geo have healer(s)!
In the beginning, I was pretty excited for her because of her gorgeous normal attacks and her aesthetic design but she was so overhyped that I couldn't take it. People kept saying she would be the best Electro DPS, Electro Ganyu, etc, etc., and Hoyoverse making her Raiden's best friend in every aspect (storyline, lore, gameplay, even birthdays) just overdid it. People really need to learn how to manage their expectations and take a chill pill.
ye had too much expectation ngl
