Any character in Genshin Impact can be your main DPS as long as you invest accordingly. That means if you want Yae Miko to do the heavy-lifting in your team, it's entirely possible. However, the ideal identity for Yae Miko is off-field sub-DPS. In this role, she should be on the field as little as possible and only switched in when her skills and bursts are off cool-down. After Yae's EEEQEEE is spammed in succession, she's done her job and can be swapped out for another party member.

Aside from a lot of ER%, try to dump her other substats into ATK%, Crit%, and Crit Dmg%. For artifacts, the rule of thumb is to get 70% ATK and
