Yae Miko is one of my favourite characters in genshin. She's an electro catalyst user and fits the sub dps role best. I love both her personality and design. She's so pretty and pink! Her totem ability is quite nice as well because you could build an afk team with her (Where you just drop everyone's skills and ults, then just watch everyone die while putting in no effort) Her playstyle is very clean and unique. Anyways, I wanted to show everyone my build for her, as well as share some playstyle tips. (She doesn't have her own artifact set yet, so in the future my build will probably change once they add that.)

This is an example of the damage Yae's totem could do. (With Zhongli shield and bennet's buff) Her totems hit continuously and are up most of the time because of her low cooldown. To play optimally you want to place the totems in a triangle so they all connect with each other, this will make them do more damage.
This is an example of the damage Yae's ult could do. (I used again, zhongli's shield and bennet's ult.) To play optimally you need to place all 3 of her totems down so the bolt can hit 3x. Thus, the damage I did here was about 48,000*3+37000= 181000 damage altogether. This makes her a great nuke character, because her ult has the potential to do a lot of damage. I have tested around with her and hit over 200k before. (Using food as well)
Without further ado, here's my artifacts for her:
I'm using two piece glads, two piece shimenawa. Generally, 2 piece electro dmg would be better, but the increase is minimal so you should pick the two pieces which you have better stats on. Other potential sets could be emblem or wander's troupe
The stats you want to go for are ATK% / Electro DMG / CRIT DMG. Best sub stats would be, crit, rate and damage, atk%, elemental mastery, energy recharge.
These are my talent levels for her, I crowned her ult because I loved it a lot. I still need to level her E to 9, not sure if I should crown that yet. ALSO because she's sub dps, you shouldn't focus too much on normal attacks, her scaling for that isn't quite good either. Usually you only level normal attacks for main dps characters, Yae doesn't fit this role well. So just focus on E and ult. But you should just play however you want (:
This is her best 4 star weapon. It's quite good because it gives crit damage as a sub stat and she benefits from all the passives that this book could potentially give her. (Atk%, EM, or Elemental DMG) I only have one copy of this book so I'm unable to refine it, widsith is definitely worth refining if you can!
These are my overall stats, something I could improve on is getting more energy recharge, because her burst has a high energy cost. (90) Although I play her with Baal which helps a bit (Because Baal's ult gives energy to the entire team) this ER is still too low. You should aim for at least 150% Energy Recharge.

These are Yae's best teams. However, you can always mix and match depending on what characters you do and don't have. My team goes: Yae, Baal, Venti/Sucrose/Mona, Bennet. Once I get Ayato, I might place him in the team instead, because they seem to go well together. Anyways, Yae seems to work best with electro charged teams (having a hydro character in it) with more than one electro character, and an anemo character to reduce elemental resistance. Bennet is just good with every team so he could honestly be placed anywhere (:
I hope you enjoyed reading this guide and maybe gained some help from it. Yae is waving goodbye 😊
