Yae Miko is the second Electro character inGenshin Impactthat wields the Catalyst. This weapon usually takes the form of a book, but sometimes it’s simply an ornament like a bell or an orb. Unlikeother weapons inGenshin Impact, the character doesn’t directly use their Catalyst to attack.
Yae Miko is an off-field Sub-DPS inGenshin Impact. Her style of combat requires players to ensure she has three Sesshou Sakuras on the field. These Fox Turrets can be summoned using her Elemental Skill. They will then carry on with her damage while Yae is avoiding such dull tasks. To fully take advantage of that playstyle, players should use a weapon that complements her Elemental Skill damage, so here’s a list ofthe best Yae Miko weaponsinGenshin Impact.
Updated on July 10, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:Despite all the buffs to theElectro reactions in Genshin Impact, Yae Miko remains a mysterious unit in the Meta because of the time she consumes when she’s setting up her Sesshou Sakuras. Although some Electro units can perform better, with the right build, Yae Miko can match their damage and performance. One of the most important aspects of a good build is to find the right weapon and place it in the hands of Yae. For that, this list will be updated to includethe best Catalysts for Yae Miko in Genshin Impact.
11Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayerswill significantly lower Yae Miko’s personal damage, but the massive ATK buff provided by its passive allows the main DPS of the team to make up for the DPS loss.
10Hakushin Ring
Hakushin Ringis great if you’re using Yae Miko in a reaction team, especially Quicken andHyperbloom teams inGenshin Impact. After triggering Quicken and Aggravate, Yae Miko will increase the team’s Dendro and Electro DMG by up to 20%.
9Wandering Evenstar
Wandering Evenstaris only obtainable via gacha, so it’s not a very popular option among the community. Nevertheless, this Catalyst is a great option if she’s with Dendro characters. Since the effect can stack, you can even combine the buff with other characters.
8Oathsworn Eye
Oathsworn Eyeis a decent weapon for Yae Miko inGenshin Impact. It increases her Energy Recharge after she casts Elemental Skill, which allows her toregain her Elemental Burst faster.
7Mappa Mare
Mappa Mareis a great F2P weapon for Yae Miko inGenshin Impact.The Catalyst grants Yae a decent Elemental Masterybonus that can help increase her Sesshou Sakuras’ damage. Mappa Mare also boosts Yae’s Electro damage every time she triggers an Elemental Reaction, which should be an easy task for her.
6Solar Pearl
In addition toSolar Pearl’sCrit Rate, the Catalyst can be a decent weapon for Yae Miko if you alter her playstyle a little by throwing one Normal ATK at the start of each of Yae’s combos to buff the rest of her damage.
5The Widsith
The Widsithis one of the best Yae’s4-star weapons inGenshin Impact. For 10s after she’s swapped in, Yae gains a huge buff to one of her stats. Taking into consideration how she deals damage, R5 Widsith is a cut above the rest to complement her playstyle.
4Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
Lost Prayerdemands Yae stay on-field to benefit from its passive, so she won’t be able to utilize the effect as a Sub-DPS. Nevertheless, the Catalyst has one of thehighest Crit Rates inGenshin Impact, which proves to be essential in increasing Yae’s damage.
3Skyward Atlas
Skyward Atlas’spassive requires Yae Miko to use her Normal Attack to proc, but you shouldn’t worry too much about this effect. Instead, focus on the 12% Electro DMG Bonus that comes without any condition, making it a decent addition to the Guuji. You must also keep in mind that the massive ATK that Skyward Atlas provides may not be too effective in specific teams like Hyperbloom and Quicken teams, where Elemental Mastery may be better.
2A Thousand Floating Dreams
A Thousand Floating Dreamsis one of the best choices forYae Mikoif she was operating inDendro reaction teams inGenshin Impact. The Catalyst grants Yae Miko an insane amount of Elemental Mastery with slightly extra Elemental damage and Elemental Mastery from her passive, in addition to a small buff for her team.
