WOW congs!!!! I think your mona curse have be lifted! 

She was guaranteed, I didn't have to face 50/50, so no Mona this time. The curse may still be in effect, we'll see what the next character will be.

I also beat the 50/50 and got her as well! Sadly I was hoping to get Thoma too but end up getting a random 4 star weapon?? 

Yeah, weapons can pop out there too. I threw a 10-pull at 40 pity and aside Yae on the first wish, I did get Thoma.

Yae base attack are bit of a lackster- I figure it shouldn't be that surprising  since she's only a sub DPS and also a catalyst too.  And her fox totems are a bit slow between summons. But overall I think she's pretty good for a catalyst user compared to the other 5 stars ones. I'm planning to get her a BP weapon to boost her bursts dmg since her burst are pretty strong. However her crit dgm is pretty high. I only have her at lvl 60 with a crits weapon and one artifacts and she is already at 185%! plus she works well with CHilde.

I feel like she's a bit too weak. Klee is a catalyst user too but she actually deals a decent amount of damage, especially with her charged attack that is quick to use. Yae has not only low damage, but she's also very slow, especially with her charged attack that happens after a relatively long delay. Klee totally can be a main dps, and I actually main Klee; Yae however, is too slow.

Yae's signature weapon seems to focus on her elemental skill, and I question this decision personally. On the trial WITH her 5* weapon, the totems barely dealt any damage and were slow overall. At this point I think even Fishl can perform better with her E, at least at full constellation. But one can always stack them two for more off-field damage I guess.

Only burst actually does something, but its cost is high and the very long CD is absolutely terrible. Also its accuracy leaves a bit to wish for... 

While she's pretty fun to play, I'm not sure if she's Abyss viable, as there are better options.

That's at least my impression after the trial. I'll give her a chance and build her to see what she can do.

So is Yae worth pulling for? I’ve been hearing mixed opinions from shes good to terrible lol.
 

I’m trying to get a feel for what others think of her before I spend rl money to get her.

I have mixed feelings myself. In the trial she was rather weak (damage-wise), and her kit ain't anything too special either (support-wise), so I'm kinda not sure what exactly is she supposed to do. Some off-field damage? Is that it? That's literally what Fishl and Raiden can do as well, except Raiden also provides support to the party like increasing burst damage and recovering energy in general. Well, I'll give her and chance and see how it goes.

Yeah I tried her out in the trial and I had mixed feelings on her. She wasn't what I thought she was going to be. I really want to save up to pull for Ayato, so depending on how Yae was I was going to potentially skip her.

Also because I spent a lot irl money to for the Ganyu/Zhongli banners recently I'd rather not buy more gems right now unless she was amazing lol

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

I got frickin' Qiqi'd on the Yae banner!!!! 

Ugh I still had enough to get her the second time around but come on, couldn't it have been Jean or at least Keqing? I don't need more Qiqis to look after, one is enough . At least the Thoma and Fischl cons are fun. also I swear Chongyun has a crush on me why do I always get him, he has got to be like C12 at this point

Now I only have around 30 wishes for the Kokomi banner, hopefully I can scrape up enough by the end of the patch to get her. Trying to stick with only Welkin + BP for now 

And yeah Yae is a little weak, but I don't do abyss (don't really have the time/inclination to invest in it) but I like playing her in the overworld so far.

I was disappointed too to be honest. Normal attack slow, weak thus hardly usable (dramatically outclassed by Klee for example), E basically like Fishl's and deals similar damage too (come on, on trial she has her 5* weap that strongly buffs her E and it only does 7.5k crit dmg), burst nice - the only thing I liked, but expensive and long CD. Absolutely no supporting buffs to the party whatsoever. Summarizing, plain mediocre off-field damage with occasional decent burst damage. Basically Fishl but maybe better a lil bit (?). Her performance on trial was sad, but maybe it will look different with 90lvls and stuff, so I'll see. I'm not saying she's bad, but she's not amazing either.

If real money is what you consider, then I wouldn't say she's an epic unit worth that money personally.

Also do we have a whale here? 

I would never buy the crystal packs personally, the prices are extreme for my budget currency over here. They could even slap Dvalin as a playable character that destroys all abyss floors at once with a single skill, I still wouldn't purchase any of this lol.

Thanks to Yae popping out so early, I had 20 spare wishes, that initially I planned to save for Kokomi, but ended up wishing for weapon for Yae... I didn't get anything, obviously. Now I'm poor. 

Good luck in the upcoming Kokomi banner!

Buff Yae buff Yae buff Yae!!! We need to complain so that they buff her.  Yeah, she's fun to play tbh, but the damage is a source of tears. Kokomi, who can't crit deals more damage than Yae's crit hits.

No more like just trying to get good 5 stars for my account. Once I get a team I'm personally happy with I'm not gonna spend anymore on it lol.

Heh well I got pretty lucky with the Itto, Xiao, and Ganyu banners so I guess it was bound to happen eventually.

I haven't even touched the weapon banner, to be honest I find it a little scary  

Thanks, you too!

If you don't plan to become the top kek abyss wrecker, any characters will do for overworld.  But I see, I see, it is tempting in general.

Non-streamers? Because as far as streamers go, their simps are sponsoring this circus.

 

I kinda wonder if they have any plans for Yae. There doesn't seem to be a perfect artifact set for her, what if they'll add something specific, that will make her good? Kokomi also seemed to be poop on the trial, but if one gives her the set designed for her and her signature weapon... She actually becomes dangerous. I do hope they'll do something for Yae, it really feels like she's lacking something.

Ah so yeah, understandable.  

I very rarely touch it myself, only when I really, really want something for the character I already own. So far I literally got only one 5* weapon from there and it was Staff of Homa - was going for it after I got Hu Tao and thankfully I got that weapon, not the other one or any other.

I want to get Kokomi too, but not really without her signature weapon that is great, so if I get Kokomi, I'll surely wish for her weapon too.  

Thanks, if I'd manage to get Kokomi and her weapon... I'd buy Battle Pass to thank MHY lol.

Non streamers (unless they are secretly streamers on the side and I dk about it lol. Which would explain how they have the cash) 

Yeah unfortunately I tend to fall for most of that pay to play stuff to some extent lol. I don’t go insane over it though lol.

I tell myself I don’t need it

 

 

and I end up spending money anyway lol

I’ve also been reading for some that Yae is bugged. I hope they fix what’s going on there.

That her totems can't aim properly and prefer to hit non-enemies? I've heard about that one at least.

Fishl's Oz also tends to attack campfire instead of enemies sometimes. This game is full of such bugs.

Speaking of targeting, the auto-targetting itself is terrible and I wish it could be disabled. I hate when characters tend to aim at random flies that fly all over the place instead of that lady I'm standing next to. What a terrible design.

How can I forget about Klee??  I swear Klee is the only character that I always forget that she exist oops-.  Yes compared to Yae and Klee, Klee is so far the only catalyst that deal with heavy dmg. Klee's base attack is bit slow and short range  but her explosions made up for it.  I agree, Yae is slow on everything with her charged, her burst, and her E skill. I think it all depends on how you would build her too. I focus building on her electro-dmg, crits, atk/recharge. and she comes out pretty descent as a sub DPS. Her totems (if you build her electro dmg, can inflict pretty descent dmg. it's not much-but it does it job at the least.  She pretty much have the similar needs as Lisa. You can increase her element mastery too so you can inflict higher combustion Dmg.  

@Clawdeen as me and Riki already said and mentioned, yae is very slow and does not inflict large dmg (on her own for this case).  But Yae is only great for support for your hydro, electro, or Pryo main DPS. Since her totem is good to add as a extra dmg for your main DPS after switching them out. My Childe is happy to have her on his team .  So if you don't need an Electro DPS support- I won't recommend pulling for her and wait for Ayato (if you need another Main DPS which Ayato is). Plus if you saw his gameplay-Ayato moves and attack is much more faster and fluidly. The only reason I wanted Yae (knowing she isn't that strong on her own) was because I love her character and her personality. Plus I need a 5* support DPS since I have two 5* main DPS. And her moves are very pretty.

@Clawdeen Yeah, she kinda appears to be a better 5* version of Fishl, so if you currently have a good use for Fishl, you will find a nice spot for Yae. Generally, if you don't have well built c6 Fishl yet, Yae will be a nice option to go with, if you do, I'd say there are better characters to wish for first, or you can always bring her in the second abyss party if you have a similar setup there. UNLESS you'd score few constellations for Yae, as at c0 her totems do mediocre damage comparable to Fishl, but her constellations improve these multiple times, so I guess that's where the real deal starts.

Given there's a bunch of off-field electro damage characters already (Fishl (E/Q), Beidou (Q), even Lisa (Q), Tomb Raider Shotgun (E)), there certainly are far better characters to wish for first and that's kinda my issue with Yae. She isn't that unique, just another off-field electro damage with decent, but slow burst damage. She doesn't lower enemy resistances, she doesn't buff the party in any way (unless at c4 but good luck with that), so she has quite a few f2p replacements.

I guess she is good in her own way, buuuut if real improvements are desired, there are better options to pick first I believe. So it ultimately depends on your setup and your needs.

Aesthetics-wise and gameplay-wise, she is wonderful indeed. 

I'm kinda thinking of sticking her with Fishl, Beidou and Tomb Raider to have 4 characters with off-field electro damage. That surely would be... a shocking combination.

I changed the weapon to Widsith and it fixed that.  

At the moment she has 79.5% crit rate and 177.4% crit dmg. she's at level 55, so crit rate will raise a bit later and it will be perfectly balanced.

I hope you’ll be able to get her eventually. Is she a pretty good character? I’ve not talked to anyone that’s currently using her. I feel like everyone I know is pretty much running the same teams lol

I did issue a complaint that Raiden is a haughty bitch who wouldn't know eternity if it hit her in the face, and they acknowledged that she's not the sharpest katana in the armory through not only Yae Miko but also through her sister as well.

 

A theory: Makoto went to Khaenri'ah without Ei not to fight but to save humans from the wrath of gods. Her memory's philosophy is not in accord with the Heavenly Principles, and she has created the Sacred Sakura seed to be free of them. Past Ei, on the other appendage, was like the Raiden Shogun. Now, what if Makoto wasn't killed by Khaenri'ah forces but by another god for trying to stop to the conflict? Also, why do Raiden and Shogun have an electro symbol on their backs? Is this puppet alchemy or some divine mark?

 

Enkanomiya is also slightly better now that it has some more corals and strangeness. Too bad it's just an event, and the environment still sucks compared to shit that resides within my mind. Points for trying, I guess.

 

The magic system is dubious. You have elemental, void and mortal realms, but then you have Abyss employing elemental magic as everyone else. Given that this is Mihoyo, the explanation could be very simple. Void energy is Honkai energy, and as such it takes any form as long as its purpose remains the same. This is the conceptual erosion, the force of balancing, the Big Snap, the Final Judgment. Its pure form is liquid starry sky. It is plausible that the Heavenly Principles are Principles of the Void. All things must end. All things must die. Like in Honkai Impact, the people of the bygone age might have weaponized void energy against itself.

too much void energy

I pair her with Eula and Razor. Still need to get her to C6 tho which is only a matter of time. When C6, she becomes very good if not even the best support for physical damage, especially when combined with off-field hydro. She's also great at closing gaps.

 

Of course, you can also use her in melt comp with guys like Diluc. Not my style.

She is actually. She's pretty flexible, suitable for main DPS and off-field burst DPS with cryo application + support. Her passives and constellations are very nice, boosting crit rate of other party members (up to 15%) and reducing phys resistance of enemies by 20% at c6 <- which works for herself if phys DPS or for supporting other phys DPS units such as Eula. There are good budget polearms to forge for her if going for phys DPS, so she's fairly easy to start with too. I don't happen to have her, so can't say too much myself, but I believe she has a potential.

To be honest I mostly want her for the sake of just having her, because she's the only 4* I don't have --- but now I also don't have Gorou because I didn't pull a single wish on the banner he was in. Although I think I perhaps could have some use for her in future, especially if I could c6 her for my Eula. I kinda doubt I'd make her phys DPS, as I already have Eula, but she'd be a nice support for her. Also assuming I could get right artifacts for once, because I can't seem to be able to build a single character well lol..

So far I only did the quest with Tomb Raider Shotgun and I really enjoyed that one. There as always were questionable moments, but overall it was very nice.

They did manage to portray Ei in a more sympathetic light. Little goddess got the sads. At least she wasn't led astray by envy or inability to send letters, but by grief. Too bad she doesn't know anything about what happened in Khaenri'ah. Guess we'll need to bribe Venti.

I have a feeling the symbol on their back works the same as Albedo's since the tech is from the Khaeni'ah. I thought the whole quest is pretty symbolic since Ei learned to take the role as her twin sister while her puppet take on the role as her's as the shadow. I thought Ei telling the puppet that she is no longer the past was start of a good redemption.   Unfortunately once again, we got no information about the other sibling... time to move on to the next nation to meet another archon who most likely won't know anything either. 

 

Also for the new event, I'm not much of an explorer and going around that area with all the puzzles doesn't seems very rewarding with primogems and all the efforts and time wasted. I just want to get down to the lore but eh....idk. The event seems to forget that not all of us have 6+ hours of free time playing genshin.

Yeah, how can you forget about my daughter? 

Yae has her pros, that's true, but I still feel like they should bump her damage a liiiiittle bit.  

@Clawdeen Yeah, she kinda appears to be a better 5* version of Fishl, so if you currently have a good use for Fishl, you will find a nice spot for Yae. Generally, if you don't have well built c6 Fishl yet, Yae will be a nice option to go with, if you do, I'd say there are better characters to wish for first, or you can always bring her in the second abyss party if you have a similar setup there. UNLESS you'd score few constellations for Yae, as at c0 her totems do mediocre damage comparable to Fishl, but her constellations improve these multiple times, so I guess that's where the real deal starts.

Given there's a bunch of off-field electro damage characters already (Fishl (E/Q), Beidou (Q), even Lisa (Q), Tomb Raider Shotgun (E)), there certainly are far better characters to wish for first and that's kinda my issue with Yae. She isn't that unique, just another off-field electro damage with decent, but slow burst damage. She doesn't lower enemy resistances, she doesn't buff the party in any way (unless at c4 but good luck with that), so she has quite a few f2p replacements.

I guess she is good in her own way, buuuut if real improvements are desired, there are better options to pick first I believe. So it ultimately depends on your setup and your needs.

Aesthetics-wise and gameplay-wise, she is wonderful indeed. 

I'm kinda thinking of sticking her with Fishl, Beidou and Tomb Raider to have 4 characters with off-field electro damage. That surely would be... a shocking combination. 

 

I changed the weapon to Widsith and it fixed that.  

At the moment she has 79.5% crit rate and 177.4% crit dmg. she's at level 55, so crit rate will raise a bit later and it will be perfectly balanced. 

 

Yeah I would want her basic atk to be slightly stronger- since I do have to play her as my main instead of switching her out often. And offf- I didn't mean to forget Klee lol- when ironically my sister have her too. . And oh that good that you go Yae crits higher! yeah that's the same weapon I'm running on her! So far right now, Yae is pretty descent since I got her at lvl 70 and lvl up her talents so I can managed to inflict about 3,000ish-4,000ish dgm with her!

Oh, I already got her! I love her character and personality too. That Gorou hangout quest 

Congs!!! Yeah I like how her personality are quite similar to Lisa's- I guess there's something about electro catalyst and their mischievousness

The puzzles aren't so much a problem, but they are gating bits of lore behind timed events, and we never witness Traveler having a thought about all of it. Even without these events and Archons telling us the truth, my Lumine should be pretty redpilled after all she's seen and heard. It's kinda stupid that the story is about the Traveler but they don't let them progress.

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Also, I'll just put this thing in here. It would seem that the element of light has a symbol, and it's basically starglitter.
