Yae Miko is the second Electro character in Genshin Impact that 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. Unlike other weapons in Genshin Impact, the character doesn’t directly use their Catalyst to attack.
Yae Miko is an off-field Sub-DPS in Genshin 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 of the best Yae Miko weapons in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact: Best Weapons For Xiao
As one of the most notable damage dealers in Genshin Impact, picking Xiao's best weapon can really affect his performance.
Updated on February 27, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: Despite all the buffs to the Electro 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 include the best Catalysts for Yae Miko in Genshin Impact.
11 Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers
- Primary Stats: 401 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 35.2% HP
- R5 Effect: When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their ATK increased by 48% for 10s. This effect can only occur once every 20s.
Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers will 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.
10 Hakushin Ring
- Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 30.6% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: After the character equipped with this weapon triggers an Electro elemental reaction, nearby party members of an Elemental Type involved in the elemental reaction receive a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus for their element, lasting 6s. Elemental Bonuses gained in this way cannot be stacked.
Hakushin Ring is great if you're using Yae Miko in a reaction team, especially Quicken and Hyperbloom teams in Genshin Impact. After triggering Quicken and Aggravate, Yae Miko will increase the team's Dendro and Electro DMG by up to 20%.
9 Wandering Evenstar
- Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 165 Elemental Mastery
- R5 Effect: The following effect will trigger every 10s: The equipping character will gain 48% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK for 12s, with nearby party members gaining 30% of this buff for the same duration. Multiple instances of this weapon can allow this buff to stack. This effect will still trigger even if the character is not on the field.
Wandering Evenstar is 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.
8 Oathsworn Eye
- Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 27.6% ATK
- R5 Effect: Increases Energy Recharge by 48% for 10s after using an Elemental Skill.

7 Mappa Mare
- Primary Stats: 565 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 110 Elemental Mastery
- R5 Effect: Triggering an Elemental reaction grants a 16% Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s. Max 2 stacks.
Genshin Impact: Best Yaoyao Team Compositions Guide
Pairing Yaoyao with the right teammates will make her a much better combatant.
Mappa Mare is a great F2P weapon for Yae Miko in Genshin Impact. The Catalyst grants Yae a decent Elemental Mastery bonus 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.
6 Solar Pearl
- Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 27.6% CRIT Rate
- R5 Effect: Normal Attack hits increase Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 40% for 6s. Likewise, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits increase Normal Attack DMG by 40% for 6s.
In addition to 
Solar Pearl's Crit 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.
5 The Widsith
- Primary Stats: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 55.1% CRIT DMG
- R5 Effect: When a character takes the field, they will gain a random theme song for 10s. This can only occur once every 30s. Recitative: ATK is increased by 120%. Aria: Increases all Elemental DMG by 96%.Interlude: Elemental Mastery is increased by 480.
The Widsith is one of the best Yae’s 4-star weapons in Genshin 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.
4 Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds
- Primary Stats: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 33.1% CRIT Rate
- Effect: Increases Movement SPD by 10%. When in battle, gain an 8% Elemental DMG Bonus every 4s. Max 4 stacks. Lasts until the character falls or leaves combat.
Lost Prayer demands 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 the highest Crit Rates in Genshin Impact, which proves to be essential in increasing Yae’s damage.
3 Skyward Atlas
- Primary Stats: 674 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 33.1% ATK
- Effect: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favor of the clouds. Which actively seek out nearby opponents to attack for 15s, dealing 160% ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 30s.
Skyward Atlas's passive 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.
2 A Thousand Floating Dreams
- Primary Stats: 542 Base ATK
- Secondary Stats: 265 Elemental Mastery
- Effect: Party members other than the equipping character will provide the equipping character with buffs based on whether their Elemental Type is the same as the latter or not.

Each of the aforementioned effects can have up to 3 stacks. Additionally, all nearby party members other than the equipping character will have their Elemental Mastery increased by 40. Multiple such effects from multiple such weapons can stack.
