Yae Miko is the newest playable character in Genshin Impact and has one of the most anticipated banners so far, so fans are already comparing her to existing characters. Many players are speculating about how powerful Yae Miko is in Genshin Impact, especially with the Raiden Shogun and Kokomi’s rerun banners coming up soon. Genshin Impact fans have little over a week to decide whether to save for the upcoming banners or pull on this one, so they might be curious about how Yae Miko compares to other Electro users.

Yae Miko, also known as Guuji Yae, is the overseer of the Grand Narukami Shrine, chief editor of Yae Publishing House, a fox envoy, and an old friend of the Raiden Shogun. She has been a major character throughout the Inazuma Archon quests, helping the Traveler to save her Archon. She is a 5-star Electro catalyst user with impressive single-target damage in her Elemental Skill and explosive AoE damage in her Elemental Burst. In spite of this, however, her power and abilities have been the subject of some controversy since her release.
