It can be nice for fischl, I mean it's passive is useless vs stringless, but 30 crit is really nice. Even on aggravate, crit ratio still matters a lot.

I like that she swings with a two-handed grip for all but the third normal. Makes the sword feel like it has actual mass. Shame she's not a DPS.

She compares well to Fischl. The lack of i-frames or resistance to interruption while using her skill is annoying. But I can use Yae with Zhongli, ZL's pillar blocking Fischl's oz shots gets seriously annoying. Yae Miko has shorter rotation cycles and spends more time on field each rotation so I wouldn't say she's objectively a better electro support than c6 Fischl. Yae Miko is a proper electro support (unlike Raiden who I dislike.) I think it's only fair to compare them both to Fischl as the gold-standard for an electro support battery.

Yae Miko is to Fischl what Yelan is to Xingqiu. Different but also good.

A bunch of people legally blind with no fingers and only two left thumbs dislike Yae Miko because her E skill has no i-frames. They are unable to use the free movement to be in a good position or are otherwise incapable of solving movement based challenges.

Everyone else who can actually use free movement to not be in a bad place doesn't have that issue.

How much of this is copium because they didn't pull for her in the first place or lost the 50/50 and want to feel better about being stuck with only their Fischl? We can but speculate.

I think a solidly built Yae Miko team is easy chill mode and great.

I did end up really liking using onfield Miko's dashes to reposition. It'd be nice if they had i-frames, yes, but I'm so used to having to do jump dodges with Klee and Yanfei that Miko feels like a ninja in comparison lol

Favorite team right now: Quickbloom with onfield Miko and Nahida/Kokomi. The fourth can be anyone that doesn't mess with the reactions; right now I'm using Layla for friendship reasons and it works pretty well. Overall it's somewhat weaker than the Nahida/Raiden/Xingqiu core, but in return you get a real healer in the main 3 so can use your flex slot for something else.

But I gotta say, playing these kinds of flexible onfielders has really solidified my distaste for characters that demand uninterrupted field time. Especially burst transformation dps that you have to battery, bleh. Being able to switch at any time to refresh skills or use stuff like Beidou counter makes the game feel much better!

My number 1 pull priority is now someone who can stand in for Nahida. I get the feeling the most likely replacement will be on the Raiden team, since all you need is any sort of dendro catalyst. A real healer would be nice, too. Baizhu? :pray:

5 star fischl would be basically the same except a longer E duration than the cooldown and a burst that was nothing but pure damage with zero utility. Maybe a weapon change but not strictly necessary.

Fischl is just an A rank in honkai actually (the highest rarity is S). She's even farmable for free. It's just that A ranks in honkai are fancier and more complicated than 5-stars in genshin.
Keqing isn't in it anymore, she only existed as a temporary not-fully-fleshed-out minigame character for the collab event.

i don’t like yae because casting all of her turrets and normals feels clunky as gently caress, and i appreciate animation speed/flow more than anything.

Honkai fischl is reality as fischl experiences it. That's why she hops around while shooting — as far as she's concerned, she's basically always in bullet-time, so she's got plenty of time to strike a cool pose.

This is also how oz teleports.

I thought it was weird that in one of the Traveller's conversations with Paimon ("About Teyvat") they mention that Teyvat's days are shorter than on their homeworld. Surely that doesn't mean it's canon that they're only 24 minutes long...

Both.

But real answer, I've run her more with an attack/electro/crit build in pure aggravate and quickbloom.

Apparently she's also decent as an onfield full EM hyperbloom trigger/Fischl driver but I never tried it myself. And it feels like Shinobu might be a more practical choice for that role tbh

Yae Miko is to Fischl what Yelan is to Xingqiu. Different but also good.

Dendro has kind of improved her stock significantly, but I think Yae Miko also came out around the peak of a lot of social media drama and overanalyzing/panicking about character kits and various plans for the game that were going on over the spring and summer and she got kind of a bum evaluation anyway because of it. That seems to have stopped happening since around the time the Chasm came out and a couple of particularly annoying content creators with frankly really dumb positions and evaluations of the game, characters, mechanics etc. have become a LOT less prolific in recent months. Plus when Yae first released a lot of people bought into a bunch of lies and fake leaks about what her kit was supposed to be and she was an extremely popular anticipated character as well that had been held back till late in the Inazuma 2.X arc of the game kind of like how Dehya/Al-Haitham appear to be with Sumeru. This again seemed to cause a lot of consternation and bum evaluations of Yae. Them making some bad tweaks they had to revoke for her very quickly (again around a time when content creator drama for the game was at it's pick and a couple of channels in particular looking for anything to hammer the game on) didn't help her evaluation much either.

Compared to when she first released people are kind of singing her praises now. It seems easier for characters to get proper evaluations overall in the Sumeru arc compared to the Inazuma one.

The funny thing is that a lot of people were screeching about how Miko was supposed to be the "dps ceiling for electro" (whatever that's supposed to mean lmao) and got real salty when it didn't happen.

But!

I'm pretty sure the current highest electro damage-based sim in the database IS a Miko team. Except, the highest electro dps in that team actually comes from Fischl :mrgw:

Edit: speaking of gcsim, I was gonna try submitting some Miko sims to beef up her quickbloom team selection. Got up to 52k with Miko/Fischl/Nahida/Kokomi before I dropped the whole thing. The program is so annoying to use lol

Yeah, Yae is super good with Nahida and Fishl. I don't really consider her to be similar to Fishl because she doesn't function in basically any team that would use Fishl previously, rather they have pretty much always been paired up like Bennett/Xiangling for me.

I'm mostly surprised by how good Yae Miko's off-field damage is. I knew her burst was a big nuke but that was all I was expecting. I never noticed she gains an elemental skill damage bonus from EM which makes Yae Miko a perfect candidate for all manner of dendro teams. With Nahida's burst 250 EM bonus Yae's damage is wild.



The dodging thing is because normally I won't dodge anything. I need to get it through my head that while performing this particular animation I remain able to dodge and still need to. Most of the time I'll be in burst i-frames or otherwise invincible so when some treasure hoarder with a shovel takes off half Yae's health by stunlocking her it's a bit jarring. I can dodge fine when I'm doing co-op boss rush or some other challenge, but that's because I know that now I must dodge these attacks.

Make sure to jump down with Zhongli or a claymore user and plunge next to one of the pillars right away instead of fighting them directly. The achievement for killing them without either one going in water was the hardest.

I'd settle for just giving archers Fischl's railgun-like unaimed charge attack from Honkai, honestly. Does anyone ever go into aim mode by holding attack on purpose? Whenever I do it it's because Fischl somehow wound up the best way to fill rotation time (usually because slimes) and I'm in the habit of ending her autocombo with a charge attack from Honkai.

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
yae was a huge disappointment on release. Her kit had no synergy with anything and her burst is absurdly expensive. She has huge downsides in terms of field time and even in those comps where her downsides are mitigated she's worse than Fischl in almost all of them. Her design just isn't good you do a bunch of chores for no payoff.

Dendro at least makes her burst feel like it was designed by a human and not chosen totally randomly and Tighnari gives her a comp where her mechanics don't feel like a drag. Granted the gap between Yae and Fischl has only gotten wider but dendro fischl is clearly uniquely busted in a way that would be irresponsible to repeat.

She could never be the worst character because she places a turret that does reasonable off-field field damage, but it is just strange how bad she feels when Albedo and Fischl feel very good. They could have given damage on turret placement to make the skill feel good to use, just seeing a small number pop up on placement makes a big difference for how Albedo plays. Was just a lame sloppy superfluous kit for a character they gave a ton of narrative space to (until Tighnari and Dendro made Fischl+Yae comps a real thing).

They're right. Every character in this game, sucks rear end, and none of them are worth pulling for. They all have negative return on investment.
