The other way to optimize Yae E animation time is to use her E as a movement option. It's about as fast as dashing, with no stamina cost. In a lot of abyss floors with multiple waves, you often need to reposition between waves, and Yae's E is great for those times. The other thing Yae can do is set-up during an invulnerable phase of a boss, where all characters have 0 DPS.
@@thebrigade7684 One example that I have, is against the big dorito boss is to get around it so that you aren't in it's AOEs. You have plenty of time to dodge out of the way. You don't do it 3 times in a straight line, you do it in a V shape that helps you position better. You don't do it to dodge incoming attacks, you do it to not spend stamina when you aren't dodging. This is great against fights like the Wenut where you have to run around the map and it's annoying
I'm RIGHT HERE, this video dropped RIGHT NOW... EMERGE EDIT: I will always stand by the fact they should have had her Totems trigger like Ganyu Burst. It should cycle between all enemies in range.
Or just have it trigger more often, so it averages out better? Granted, that is a dps bump, with potentially more aggravate procs and all. Another option that doesn't mess with reaction count as much, is increased aoe on the hits.
Yae is such a good comfort pick for exploring and doing basically any content in the game, her skill is so comfortable to use, just EMERGE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW and watch everything die, it's very satisfying for me, i'm so glad i got her in her first banner.
You know what... i'm gonna play some Yae. I had her benched for the longest time because i don't like playing her in abyss, but i forgor that overworld is a completely different beast
One thing to be said is that despite Yae not having invulnerability frames with her turrets, when you get used to playing her, it becomes second nature to dodge with the turrets. It's not like enemies have terribly unpredictable patterns. It's been months since I've been hit while placing my turrets.
Yae is one mechanic away from being god tier: if she had invulnerability on her skill animation and gained anything from dodging enemy attacks with the skill, like energy recharge, or call a bolt on a successful dodge she would be one of my fav units.
it would be pretty cool. The only problem with that is units with skill-reliant abilities always seem to be balanced around you proccing them as though they didnt require skill, making them worse than more simple units
Her first ascension passive should have been a part of base kit. Instead of it, she should have had a passive that would unleash one instance of her charged attack at the closest nearby enemy whenever one of her turrets is destroyed (from the place of its' destruction).
I didn't like her when she came out but for some reasons she became one of my favourite characters. One of my best built character, 10/10/10, and got her C1 today.
As a Yae haver since version 2.5, you are on point on most of the things you said about her. She has acquired a solid niche when Dendro came in, which is I am satisfied with.
I can confirm for the last one: it was never double damage, it was always a hidden +5.879543% damage bonus if she says Right Here, Right Now, Emerge. To this day, that hasn't been patched out so we still enjoy it. What's recently been discovered is that if she says "Come on out" at any point in time, that speicifc turret actually gets a hidden interaction where it attacks twice with the 2nd attack doing 4.22803% Atk. So it's not much, but against single targets it can help with your ICD.
"Right here", "Right now" and "Emerge" is her voice line skill when you use directional keys whenever you cast her E. If you don't use directional keys and just press E(You go backwards from where you are facing), she says "Come on out" and "Show them". It has been in the game since she was released.
@@internetuser4138 ayooo nice. Hopefully you enjoy her. Her gameplay isn't that immersive, but I would say her gameplay is really nice for casual players which makes up the majority og the player base.
The biggest upside using Yae compared to other electro dps like Raiden or Keqing, is all of her attacks don't mess up with grouping. Which makes her a better mob killer or even in general. Even if the enemies start to move, you can easily swap back to your Kazuha and regroup them, which basically a perpetual crowd control, and makes her the electro dps that has superior synergy with Kazuha because you can swap off to Kazuha and utilise his low cd E skill more, without losing dmg on Yae because she's an off field dps.
Despite baizu interruption res not working on multi attacks you can use her casts to move away from attacks meaning baizu can help more in that regard than with other characters if u use mikos long casting animation correctly
Thanks for affirming Yae makes Tighnari team better. I'm pulling for her now for my Tighnari team since I lack extra damage even though my Fischl is already solid.
Nobody mentions the Yae AFK teams with zhongli nahida flex. I know its not very efficient for abyss but its a fun team for open world stuff and even abyss sometimes. Just use the skill and stand afk while the enemies die
That actually is a good abyss team when you're not standing around afk. Yae/Nahida/Zhongli/Fischl with Yae on-field is one of my preferred abyss teams with her.
Grats. Enjoy her high afk damage. Build her well and you’ll hit 30-50k nonstop effortless without even a team combo. Put her in hypercarry team, you’ll be dealing 100-200k totem strikes :) 😊
I always play her in quickbloom, kokomi as her hydro, then nahida and kazuha. Pretty fun and surprisingly good in abyss, been 36* abyss with this team of Yae.
I had 171 pulls (at 63 pity with no guarantee) to bring home Yae and Yoimiya. I ended up with Qiqi (83 pity), Yae (85 pity), and C1 Diluc (72 pity) 🥲 Spent all my starglitter and stardust pulls too. I'm now at 25 pity, I doubt I'll snipe Yoimiya by the time the banner is up. So much for saving up for 6 months.
tell me about it, saved up for a long time only to get Mona at 90 pity then Nahida at 80 something, hoped to get baizhu but got keqing at 83 and never made it. Now I'm on 68 and just want yae miko... Oh god but the worst thing was i didn't get kaveh until 83+60=143 pulls into the baizhu banner... I like tcg but I feel so hated by this game
As a Yae main since the day she's released, I definitely agree 100% with what Zajef said about her. Definitely one of the best Yae reviews out there. 👍👍 -Yae pretty strong -Don't compare Yae to Fischl -Yae wonky to play at first, but when you understand and get used to her, she does pretty well and fun to play👍 -Her best teams are Quicken teams -You use her a lot with Fischl
Yae's power lies in her flexibility, both in and outside dendro teams. You can basically put her in any team and she will perform good, which is why I would put her above Alhaitham on priority list, because, while he is better in what he is meant to do than Yae, he is limited to Dendro teams while she is not.
Agreed, he also hyperfocused on the Keqing comparisons too much when Yae is a staple for Haitham quicken teams (that rival QB at C0R1 investment) and Tighnari teams, as well as several non-Dendro teams such as Kokomi taser and Raikou. Most people use her as an off-fielder so comparing her with Keqing is eh, her closest comparison has always been Beidou.
Bc he is dendro, he can flex as an enabler and just does a lot more dmg anyways It's flexibility vs efficiency, but haitham being able to flex as an on field nahida is pretty damn good
@@Mantoire also sauce? Do you have a magical Yae rotation that puts haitham rots with her down from ~27s? I find that she underperforms vs QB AND YAE-LESS SPREAD bc of how slow she is
"he is limited to Dendro teams" - that's a weird argument. It's the same as "yae is limited to electro teams" More like, he's limited to being an on-fielder while she is not
@@gigyro I would say no, the dmg diff with the widsith isnt big enough but if you really like her and dont mind the bow I would say yeah (I did it with Childe lol)
@@gigyro Well tbh no its not, you have 0 guaranty to get it, the flute (if you dont have Yoimiya) n the rust are pretty low-mid weapons, akuouamaru is good but not worth unless you have a specific claymore main dps you really want to improve. The spear is definitely a good option as well but it comes back in banner very frequently so its not that worth to risk your primos here. Sorry but I would recommand to do 10-20pulls at best and then stop if nothing decent comes, solar pearl is good enough for Yae
Yae is the kind of character that is a fantastic 'investment character". She gets better and better with every investment you make: talent and level upgrades, weapon upgrades to Kagura, although she can use a variety of more accessible weapons, constellations, and so forth. She's flexible in teams and can be off field, burst oriented, or on field as a driver. She can wear a variety of artifact sets from a 2pc 2pc variety of sets to four piece Gilded, Thundering Fury, Thunder Soother, etc... She can function as a "support" for a Raiden team if you want. She can be played in Hyperbloom if that's what you want. She benefits from EM essentially double dipping in it. She just gets so much damn better. If there's ONE unit you'd ever want to C6, it's her. It's disgusting the level of power you achieve with it. It's actually broken. AFK gaming doesn't begin to describe how powerful she is.
Yae is the perfect gacha character for a game like this, if you get her you can make her so fucking strong that she'll never leave your team, but if you skip her that's completely fine because there's competitive alternatives to what she does, so there's never any FOMO to get her, but if you like her and you want her you can make a LOT of great use of her kit.
@@cleod7439 except fischl doesn’t do huge aoe damage in quick burst rotations. Good build yae can hit 100k each tenko thunderbolt. And since c6 is mentioned, what he said is true. Once you did c6 her, none of electro units would be on par with her except Raiden. The good side is, c3 Raiden + c6 Yae is such a fucking insane combo where every just dies effortless. Also being used in speed runs and multiwave situations. The more invested you are to Yae, the more she’s not gonna leave your team since her totems on c6 easily does 30-50k strikes. Buff them up with kazuha and it goes even higher. And her totems doesn’t cost anything.
For how her play style feels feels, I rarely play her on pc but she never leaves my team on mobile. She’s really good for boomer mechanics, even with the built in dash.
she does take time having to set up her turrets but once its set up it will always deal damage and has 100% uptime, once its dropped its smooth sailing from there you just have to refresh it
One of the most beautiful characters in the game that's 5* and also shows every aspect of her design while paying (unlike some characters that have great design but only used for Q-swap) Never regretted pulling, building and playing her, really happy that she now has better team comps
@@sylent0253 eh, QoL with much better healing and shields + dendro res for more EM + Baizhu's Aggrevate damage bonus + more dendro application for more quickens and aggrevates seems worth to me. Also gives more on field time for Yae to do more auto aggrevates and Fisch procs. May be slightly less damage, but feels a hell of a lot better to play, imo.
@@doctorshiki20 With Nahida on the team, Baizhu's Dendro application doesn't matter at all for Quicken uptime because the aura lasts for at least 11s, which her skill already covers by itself for every enemy.
i've been playing and clearing with Yae/Keqing/Nahida/Mona (with prototype) without a problem since Nahida came out and 36starring everything with c0 widsith. Waifu > meta
I only recently found you and started watching you, so Although i have watched most of the old ask zajef vids, i never know when they where made or if they are out of date. So for me making a new 1 and repeating questions only helps.
Since Dendro I really enjoy playing her. Skyward Atlas as a weapon just for consistency. So much so, that I am thinking about not pulling on Yois Banner for Kiarara, but instead on Yaes for the chance of getting her C2.
I skipped her on her first banner because I was underwhelmed with her kit and teams but LOVED her design and character. Finally pulled her using my guaranteed and also got c2 Kirara out of 30 pulls so it’s a win for me!
This game has just decided for me that I’m a yae main, got c2 really early while rolling layla cons and got kagura’s first pity this banner. I’ve loved tighnari since release so the fact that they synergize so well makes me happy. I wonder, the team that you kept showing used Zhongli as a shielder. I use baizhu in that slot because it seems like he brings similar damage buff potential to the table especially because he feels like a natural Deepwood holder. Is that accurate, or is one any significant amount better than the other?
Assuming tighnari team with yae fischl zhongli, you have 2 high damage electro units. It is a shame if there is no elemental shred for electro. Zhongli skill shred both electro and deadro for 20%. He can also hold deepwood set for additional deadro shred, so he is better than Baizhu
Got her at 15 pity yesterday pulling for kirara so tbis is useful, not even mad I got her, it was my earliest pity ever and it was still 50/50 and i got kirara shortly after, my yae is already is already pretty strong too, not even fully built but in a quicken team im seeing her totems hit for 30k already, im ready for whenever the wenut comes back into the abyss now cause she was apparently really good against it when it was in abyss.
She was my last piece in the “braindead daily stuff team”. Yae, Nahida, Kazhua and Koko. After 2 years and a half of daily quests and domains farming, I just want comfort while waiting for really interesting stuff drops (main story quest, new regions, etc..) COMFORT OF USE IS THE NEW META. Let’s get real: nobody gives a s*it about abyss anymore…
A big plus Yae has over Fischl are her cooldowns and the ability to apply electro fast with NAs and actually do damage with them still. When I only had Fischl there were way too many moments when Abyss clock was ticking and my only option was to charge attack or perish I guess. My favorite teams to play right now are Alhaitham/Baizhu/Yae/Fischl or Nahida, and even if it's not mathematically optimal, it's comfy as hell and gets the job done.
Fischl electro app have almost 100% uptime, if u have a problem with fischl uptime maybe you just don't play her correctly or doesn't have enough er, either you cast her burst before her e run out or u just forgot that her q exist, if u do q swap 10s/12s if c6 e swap, u should have almost 100% uptime on her even if u don't play her perfectly
@@tasha2749 is the better rotation q first or e first cause i mostly do q first cause her oz is still generating particles. and then her e next. i also forgot that 5 seconds of downtime is kind of the norm in most teams even in internat you spend that downtime to battery xiangling.
yae kazuha nahida kokomi feels really nice, fischl swapping out kazuha if you dont need grouping. her ult hitting 250k C0 feels p good. also tighnari yae nahida zhongli is fun
I find her to be my most flexible, strongest and most used electro unit these days specially one that don't require xinqui/yelan and can perform great in both st and aoe and I have every electro unit built with some cracked artifact since its my fav element by far since start of game (when people use to shit on it). While I'll not disagree with zajeff regarding anything coz he knows his stuff well but I'll like to give my few points as I think unit is slightly underrated by some (usually feelcrafters). *Field-time req* - Its exaggerated and not an issue in most practical situation since you do your 1st EEE at very start of your rotation while running towards enemies and she have longer rotations with very high dpr teams. Her onfield requirement if you compare is very similar something like kazuha doing 2 e and q in 15 sec rotation vs yae doing 2 EEE and 1 q in 24 sec rotation if you play it right. So her field-time is very highly exaggerated specially in teams where you play her as solo electro, you don't need to always use her q. To all people who exaggerate just learn her rotation and stop feel crafting plz. *her vs fishl*- Fishl is a very strong unit but her strongest team are with yae these days (yae fishl sucorse/kazuha dendro). In Al and tighnari teams yae just simply better unit, she have a frontload of aoe nuke which is very good when you just need to get rid of a low hp wave like mushrooms, nobushis, small machines etc, and much better aoe electro spread than fishl and like zajeff talked she does proc much more aggrevate in aoe. *keqing vs yae*- I find her own dmg very underwhelming in st.. I feel like she is carried a lot by fishl and her scalings are still shit.. Yae just feels like a unit that synergies as well with fishl with actual scalings and a passive that dont make em feels that bad when you not aggrevating. Tri-core of agg is already very strong so its fine to use keq I guess if you meeting dps req or you like keq gameplay more. *vs hb kuki* - Al-yae is his ceiling team and its very high dps but harder to play so i'll not disagree if you say Al-kuki hb variations better than AL-yae since I know for many that ceiling is hard to reach. *overworld* - She is soo good and afk.. *pull value* -I don't focus on pull value that much since there are soo much "it depends". There are soo many units these days so I mostly looks into what happen if people who like yae spent into her teams and Yae teams are very strong in both aoe and st and flexible and she synergize really well with op supports(sucrose, kazuha, nahida, even kokomi) and some dps (fishl, Al, tighnari). Her weapon options are also good since you hv 2 std 5 star catalyst and widsith is one of easier gacha weapons to get (coz std) and is very strong. So pull if you like , she will not disappoint you otherwise don't. *team building* - Good teams at all level of investment, cheaper ones like yae fishl yaoyao sucrose being one of highest st and good in aoe and expensive ones like spread variations. Also artifact choices are very flexible.
Big disagree on the usefulness of the c2 bonus range. If you play Yae against some of the more mobile enemies ( like the consecrated beasts), you will notice they often move away from the totens.
Based analysis. The thing about Yae is no one else has her presence. The shot you chose for the video background says it all. In terms of kit, it's a mixed bag, the animations are too long and the chance of getting interrupted is high. The pay off is a long duration after setting up, and honestly, it's fun to right here right now on Yae, it's a good balance between power and fun to play. Some things that were not discussed: If driving, her normal attacks are SLOW. On the other hand they have decent range and can be both AE or single target ATK scaling gives her more good weapon options but limits her in reaction focused teams If you want to wish on the weapon banner then her silly floating chandelier thing is a good option compared to most catalysts, good stat stick with a balance of ATK and crit damage.
I got her on the first day of her first banner, when many people hated her kit I used her in taisers before Sumeru realise, and after that she and Nahida became one of my most favourite duos
About putting yae on first slot in abyss if u use widsith , only put her on first slot if u r playing her on first half , cuz as per my observation I think when u switch sides the game considers it as switching chars , so if ur yae is on first slot on the second half she will immediately get wid buff , and effectively lose uptime and dps
Decided to finally pulled for her and won 5050! The only reason why is because of her synergy with tighnari. My tigh is quite invested and i like his playstyle so much but have to settle with fishl + beidou for his team. And the 2nd reason is because i already have kagura
Spent 60 pulls for her, kirara, and verity I pull because i want my Ei to have her three pets (crow, fox, cat) Then i was wondering what team is good for this fox Your video helps a lot, thank you.
Her E teleport actually makes her fares better against concecrated beast. But then again, i truly loves her and invest alot even getting her to C2 and losing polar twice just to get Kagura.
I destroyed this abyss second chamber with Yae, Nahida, Fischl and Baizhu. Cleared the first and last floor second chamber in less than a minute but i do have Yae C2, Nahida C2, Fischl C6 and Baizhu C0.
Baizhu Fischl Yae Kazuha C2 is becoming a favorite comfort team if mine now. finally my Nahida isnt neutering my Kazuha swirls and Yae isnt getting interrupted
RaidenMiko with Nahida and Kokomi become my favourite team really fast after i got her, things only changed after i got Nilou, since she steals both Nahida and Kokomi..
I only just saw the thumbnail and I have no idea who you are, but I simply wanted to say that "Ask Zajef" in all caps looks like keyboard smashing to me and it's very funny, anyway have a good day!
I actually got her on her very first banner and used her in abyss ever since. Before dendro i used her with Raiden, Kazuha and Benny. And now i either use her as a sub dps for Alhaitham/Tighnari or in aggrivate teams with Fishl, Kazuha and Baizhu/Yao yao. She is just so comfy man.. When I get Kokomi in the next patch I really want to try a comfy quickbloom team with Yae, Kokomi, Nahida and idk maybe Fishl..
Yae’s another one of those characters that’s totally chill numbers wise, but is very polarizing gameplay wise. Personally used to hate playing her and she was my biggest pull regret, but eventually got used to her EEEREEE gameplay and now Yae aggravate is one of my go-to teams.
Same , i got her and i actually regret pulling but rn she is my strongest and hy far most used electro unit and i hv all electro units as I am electro lover.
I've been using a duo-DPS setup with Yae, Tighnari, Fischl/Kuki, Nahida - playing around a 25s rotation, works well as long as I can get my Quicken reactions
I'm playing a Quicken team with Tighnari Nahida Fischl Beidou and was thinking of going for Yae to replace Beidou with her, but i'm afraid that Tighnari only gets thrown around without a shielder in the team. I could replace Nahida with Kirara but Nahida is in general the better character ofc, so idk if thats smart or not. Have you got some advices, cause you seem to have good experience with such teams
I'm quite happy with her place in the meta right now... right here, EMERGE
Ayy there it is
Why meta even matter? You wouldn’t play her if she wasn’t meta?
@Hatsune it's as if some people find enjoyment in the game from playing characters that are meta
@@helm759 is it wrong to be happy that the character u like is strong?
@@helm759If she felt bad to have in her party less people would use her, yes.
C2 is an anti-Wenut and anti-Ruin Serpent constellation. Just put her totems in the middle and they'll hit whenever the boss resurfaces
It's a bummer that the c2 doesn't affect how high totem can target like the flying ruin can't target by totem.
whenever the boss EMERGES

Yeah I use it for mobility in Abyss. She helps me get into position for Nahida to do her scan or Tighnari to toss his skill and then pop off.
It doesn't have an though, does it? Which still doesn't make her invulnerable, in those moments.
I'm RIGHT HERE, this video dropped RIGHT NOW... EMERGE

Another option that doesn't mess with reaction count as much, is increased aoe on the hits.
have it target seeds too pls
That would have given her more differentiation from Fischl at least.

Sometimes I would just put her in an Albedo + Fischl team where the summons do all the work and I just stand on the flower 😅

Yup, Yae and Tighnari feels perfect
Yae is one mechanic away from being god tier: if she had invulnerability on her skill animation and gained anything from dodging enemy attacks with the skill, like energy recharge, or call a bolt on a successful dodge she would be one of my fav units.
That kinda sounds like honkai impact mechanics, they have evading as a full-on mechanic there and for some characters it goves damage benefits
it would be pretty cool. The only problem with that is units with skill-reliant abilities always seem to be balanced around you proccing them as though they didnt require skill, making them worse than more simple units
Her first ascension passive should have been a part of base kit.
Instead of it, she should have had a passive that would unleash one instance of her charged attack at the closest nearby enemy whenever one of her turrets is destroyed (from the place of its' destruction).
“If she had energy recharge when you dodged with a skill she would be a fav unit” - ua-cam.com/video/JMoA2fwmJuI/v-deo.html

It seems fun
@@ym7402 the same sets and stats as you would use in her in any other team - gilded or 2p2p
So today I finally got her c6 😭 Im so happy
Grats. Enjoy her high afk damage. Build her well and you’ll hit 30-50k nonstop effortless without even a team combo. Put her in hypercarry team, you’ll be dealing 100-200k totem strikes :) 😊
Im on my way to that,c4, hope will win next 50/50 so i will be just one con to c6
I always play her in quickbloom, kokomi as her hydro, then nahida and kazuha.
Pretty fun and surprisingly good in abyss, been 36* abyss with this team of Yae.
I got her today and you know I absolutely love her wish I’d gotten her sooner!
I had 171 pulls (at 63 pity with no guarantee) to bring home Yae and Yoimiya. I ended up with Qiqi (83 pity), Yae (85 pity), and C1 Diluc (72 pity) 🥲
Spent all my starglitter and stardust pulls too.
I'm now at 25 pity, I doubt I'll snipe Yoimiya by the time the banner is up.
So much for saving up for 6 months.
tell me about it, saved up for a long time only to get Mona at 90 pity then Nahida at 80 something, hoped to get baizhu but got keqing at 83 and never made it. Now I'm on 68 and just want yae miko...
Oh god but the worst thing was i didn't get kaveh until 83+60=143 pulls into the baizhu banner... I like tcg but I feel so hated by this game
Ah yes, the gacha salt 🧂🧂🧂
If it makes u feel better, i spent almost 400 pulls on wandy banner and only got him c1r1 lmao :')
This is why I’m a whale xS
the Qiqi'ing is real
she's the best in every team cus shes the best waifu.
FAX!!
I love playing her in Nilou bloom
I’m not sure that’s sound logic🤨
March 7th's existence:
@@ushinmaru4407it's the only logic that matters
I could watch Yae stand there smiling all day 💜...
I completely didnt expect the ending, i expected smth like that but this was a whole 180°
As a Yae main since the day she's released, I definitely agree 100% with what Zajef said about her. Definitely one of the best Yae reviews out there. 👍👍
-Yae pretty strong
-Don't compare Yae to Fischl
-Yae wonky to play at first, but when you understand and get used to her, she does pretty well and fun to play👍
-Her best teams are Quicken teams
-You use her a lot with Fischl
Haytham and miko are my favourite team with nahida too
I can’t imagine playing her without the goats and honestly I never used ficshl
Yae's power lies in her flexibility, both in and outside dendro teams.
You can basically put her in any team and she will perform good, which is why I would put her above Alhaitham on priority list, because, while he is better in what he is meant to do than Yae, he is limited to Dendro teams while she is not.
Agreed, he also hyperfocused on the Keqing comparisons too much when Yae is a staple for Haitham quicken teams (that rival QB at C0R1 investment) and Tighnari teams, as well as several non-Dendro teams such as Kokomi taser and Raikou. Most people use her as an off-fielder so comparing her with Keqing is eh, her closest comparison has always been Beidou.
Bc he is dendro, he can flex as an enabler and just does a lot more dmg anyways
It's flexibility vs efficiency, but haitham being able to flex as an on field nahida is pretty damn good
@@Mantoire also sauce? Do you have a magical Yae rotation that puts haitham rots with her down from ~27s? I find that she underperforms vs QB AND YAE-LESS SPREAD bc of how slow she is
@@Hezkungive me an example team and I'll give you rotation and also tell me if you hv yae coz I'll give answer accordingly.
"he is limited to Dendro teams" - that's a weird argument. It's the same as "yae is limited to electro teams"
More like, he's limited to being an on-fielder while she is not
Was really waiting for this video, Yae was my first limited 5* and I am definitely pulling Kazuha for her
Wait no more!
yeah same she was also my first limited 5 star, now i'm debating pulling her weapon
@@gigyro I would say no, the dmg diff with the widsith isnt big enough but if you really like her and dont mind the bow I would say yeah (I did it with Childe lol)
@@bighat8794 I don’t even have widsith 😭 I’ve been using solar pearl on her, do you think it’s worth pulling on weapon banner for widsith?
@@gigyro Well tbh no its not, you have 0 guaranty to get it, the flute (if you dont have Yoimiya) n the rust are pretty low-mid weapons, akuouamaru is good but not worth unless you have a specific claymore main dps you really want to improve. The spear is definitely a good option as well but it comes back in banner very frequently so its not that worth to risk your primos here.
Sorry but I would recommand to do 10-20pulls at best and then stop if nothing decent comes, solar pearl is good enough for Yae
It seems the comments are missing the part that fischl can be used outside of dendro
Yae is the kind of character that is a fantastic 'investment character". She gets better and better with every investment you make: talent and level upgrades, weapon upgrades to Kagura, although she can use a variety of more accessible weapons, constellations, and so forth. She's flexible in teams and can be off field, burst oriented, or on field as a driver. She can wear a variety of artifact sets from a 2pc 2pc variety of sets to four piece Gilded, Thundering Fury, Thunder Soother, etc... She can function as a "support" for a Raiden team if you want. She can be played in Hyperbloom if that's what you want. She benefits from EM essentially double dipping in it. She just gets so much damn better. If there's ONE unit you'd ever want to C6, it's her. It's disgusting the level of power you achieve with it. It's actually broken. AFK gaming doesn't begin to describe how powerful she is.
Yae is the perfect gacha character for a game like this, if you get her you can make her so fucking strong that she'll never leave your team, but if you skip her that's completely fine because there's competitive alternatives to what she does, so there's never any FOMO to get her, but if you like her and you want her you can make a LOT of great use of her kit.
that feels so because without Kagura she deals 0 damage
Me reading all of this realizing that fischl also have everything you said
@@cleod7439 except fischl doesn’t do huge aoe damage in quick burst rotations. Good build yae can hit 100k each tenko thunderbolt.
And since c6 is mentioned, what he said is true. Once you did c6 her, none of electro units would be on par with her except Raiden. The good side is, c3 Raiden + c6 Yae is such a fucking insane combo where every just dies effortless. Also being used in speed runs and multiwave situations.
The more invested you are to Yae, the more she’s not gonna leave your team since her totems on c6 easily does 30-50k strikes. Buff them up with kazuha and it goes even higher. And her totems doesn’t cost anything.
@@FreecellZlo Sounds like a skill issue. I didn't have Kagura's and she slapped. QQ cry more ;)
For how her play style feels feels, I rarely play her on pc but she never leaves my team on mobile. She’s really good for boomer mechanics, even with the built in dash.
Pretty much the same, e e e then get off field for a while and waiting for burst
Yae and Nahida is now a braindead strat for everything
she does take time having to set up her turrets but once its set up it will always deal damage and has 100% uptime, once its dropped its smooth sailing from there you just have to refresh it
One of the most beautiful characters in the game that's 5* and also shows every aspect of her design while paying (unlike some characters that have great design but only used for Q-swap)
Never regretted pulling, building and playing her, really happy that she now has better team comps
Baizhu's shield makes her feel so much better to play. Yae, Nahida, Fisch, and Bai is one of my favorite team right now.
But it's so criminal to not have anemo here when you have 2 high dmg electro units and you have no res shred.
it feels wrong without an anemo unit ngl
@@sylent0253 eh, QoL with much better healing and shields + dendro res for more EM + Baizhu's Aggrevate damage bonus + more dendro application for more quickens and aggrevates seems worth to me. Also gives more on field time for Yae to do more auto aggrevates and Fisch procs. May be slightly less damage, but feels a hell of a lot better to play, imo.
ANEMO SHIELDER WHENNNN
@@doctorshiki20 With Nahida on the team, Baizhu's Dendro application doesn't matter at all for Quicken uptime because the aura lasts for at least 11s, which her skill already covers by itself for every enemy.
i've been playing and clearing with Yae/Keqing/Nahida/Mona (with prototype) without a problem since Nahida came out and 36starring everything with c0 widsith. Waifu > meta
As always another informative video! Nice touch on that Druttut outro btw
I only recently found you and started watching you, so Although i have watched most of the old ask zajef vids, i never know when they where made or if they are out of date. So for me making a new 1 and repeating questions only helps.
thank you editors for showing some drututt's va capability
Since Dendro I really enjoy playing her. Skyward Atlas as a weapon just for consistency.
So much so, that I am thinking about not pulling on Yois Banner for Kiarara, but instead on Yaes for the chance of getting her C2.
imo Tighnari/Fischl/Lisa+flex feels pretty good, when it comes to Yae-less Nari teams.
hated yae's playstyle at first but she's so fun with tighnari
I skipped her on her first banner because I was underwhelmed with her kit and teams but LOVED her design and character. Finally pulled her using my guaranteed and also got c2 Kirara out of 30 pulls so it’s a win for me!
pulled for yae, didn't know she came with purple hair and a sword 🤔
Accidentally got her C2 in just 70 pulls, already have her at C0 before. Now she does over 30k per aggravate proc on E
Same but C0 with widsith
This game has just decided for me that I’m a yae main, got c2 really early while rolling layla cons and got kagura’s first pity this banner. I’ve loved tighnari since release so the fact that they synergize so well makes me happy.
I wonder, the team that you kept showing used Zhongli as a shielder. I use baizhu in that slot because it seems like he brings similar damage buff potential to the table especially because he feels like a natural Deepwood holder. Is that accurate, or is one any significant amount better than the other?
Assuming tighnari team with yae fischl zhongli, you have 2 high damage electro units. It is a shame if there is no elemental shred for electro.
Zhongli skill shred both electro and deadro for 20%. He can also hold deepwood set for additional deadro shred, so he is better than Baizhu
STUNLOCKED LULW
Got her at 15 pity yesterday pulling for kirara so tbis is useful, not even mad I got her, it was my earliest pity ever and it was still 50/50 and i got kirara shortly after, my yae is already is already pretty strong too, not even fully built but in a quicken team im seeing her totems hit for 30k already, im ready for whenever the wenut comes back into the abyss now cause she was apparently really good against it when it was in abyss.
feet reveal when
Never
what is this comment section..
🍋🏠🌸👁😹 what’s wrong? 😹👁🌸🏠🍋
Right here Right now EmerGe
Choko Jugon RightNowRightHere Come on out
Yae mains in thier natural environment
What is this comment?
She was my last piece in the “braindead daily stuff team”. Yae, Nahida, Kazhua and Koko. After 2 years and a half of daily quests and domains farming, I just want comfort while waiting for really interesting stuff drops (main story quest, new regions, etc..) COMFORT OF USE IS THE NEW META. Let’s get real: nobody gives a s*it about abyss anymore…
That was my team right when nahida came out too
My braindead daily commission team has been Tighnari Nahida Raiden Kazuha
A variant of mine is zhongli nahida yae fischl, literaly press E and afk
oh that's my overworld team too! it's so comfy
A big plus Yae has over Fischl are her cooldowns and the ability to apply electro fast with NAs and actually do damage with them still. When I only had Fischl there were way too many moments when Abyss clock was ticking and my only option was to charge attack or perish I guess. My favorite teams to play right now are Alhaitham/Baizhu/Yae/Fischl or Nahida, and even if it's not mathematically optimal, it's comfy as hell and gets the job done.
Fischl electro app have almost 100% uptime, if u have a problem with fischl uptime maybe you just don't play her correctly or doesn't have enough er, either you cast her burst before her e run out or u just forgot that her q exist, if u do q swap 10s/12s if c6 e swap, u should have almost 100% uptime on her even if u don't play her perfectly
@@tasha2749 is the better rotation q first or e first cause i mostly do q first cause her oz is still generating particles. and then her e next. i also forgot that 5 seconds of downtime is kind of the norm in most teams even in internat you spend that downtime to battery xiangling.
THE OUTRO MADE MY SOUL EMERGE OUT OF MY BODY
yae kazuha nahida kokomi feels really nice, fischl swapping out kazuha if you dont need grouping. her ult hitting 250k C0 feels p good. also tighnari yae nahida zhongli is fun
I find her to be my most flexible, strongest and most used electro unit these days specially one that don't require xinqui/yelan and can perform great in both st and aoe and I have every electro unit built with some cracked artifact since its my fav element by far since start of game (when people use to shit on it). While I'll not disagree with zajeff regarding anything coz he knows his stuff well but I'll like to give my few points as I think unit is slightly underrated by some (usually feelcrafters).
*Field-time req* - Its exaggerated and not an issue in most practical situation since you do your 1st EEE at very start of your rotation while running towards enemies and she have longer rotations with very high dpr teams. Her onfield requirement if you compare is very similar something like kazuha doing 2 e and q in 15 sec rotation vs yae doing 2 EEE and 1 q in 24 sec rotation if you play it right. So her field-time is very highly exaggerated specially in teams where you play her as solo electro, you don't need to always use her q. To all people who exaggerate just learn her rotation and stop feel crafting plz.
*her vs fishl*- Fishl is a very strong unit but her strongest team are with yae these days (yae fishl sucorse/kazuha dendro). In Al and tighnari teams yae just simply better unit, she have a frontload of aoe nuke which is very good when you just need to get rid of a low hp wave like mushrooms, nobushis, small machines etc, and much better aoe electro spread than fishl and like zajeff talked she does proc much more aggrevate in aoe.
*keqing vs yae*- I find her own dmg very underwhelming in st.. I feel like she is carried a lot by fishl and her scalings are still shit.. Yae just feels like a unit that synergies as well with fishl with actual scalings and a passive that dont make em feels that bad when you not aggrevating. Tri-core of agg is already very strong so its fine to use keq I guess if you meeting dps req or you like keq gameplay more.
*vs hb kuki* - Al-yae is his ceiling team and its very high dps but harder to play so i'll not disagree if you say Al-kuki hb variations better than AL-yae since I know for many that ceiling is hard to reach.
*overworld* - She is soo good and afk..
*pull value* -I don't focus on pull value that much since there are soo much "it depends". There are soo many units these days so I mostly looks into what happen if people who like yae spent into her teams and Yae teams are very strong in both aoe and st and flexible and she synergize really well with op supports(sucrose, kazuha, nahida, even kokomi) and some dps (fishl, Al, tighnari). Her weapon options are also good since you hv 2 std 5 star catalyst and widsith is one of easier gacha weapons to get (coz std) and is very strong. So pull if you like , she will not disappoint you otherwise don't.
*team building* - Good teams at all level of investment, cheaper ones like yae fishl yaoyao sucrose being one of highest st and good in aoe and expensive ones like spread variations. Also artifact choices are very flexible.
didn't expect the drututt outro, it was gold
to me she and tighnari are inseparable
Yae is one of those banner characters I’m glad I lost the 50/50 on.
Honest Fischl A4 reaction: 🗿
Pulled her today cuz I really like her design. Luckly I have her other teammates and I have good chance of still getting alh in next part
Big disagree on the usefulness of the c2 bonus range. If you play Yae against some of the more mobile enemies ( like the consecrated beasts), you will notice they often move away from the totens.
but why? her E has a low cooldown and you can just recast them
If this happens I just burst and set totems again, it's not a big deal.
@@Adz10317 low cooldown is not 0 cooldown, and you need all 3 to be toguether to do max damage
@@teo2805 you dont always have your burst, and its not always optimal to burst whenever
Drututt, man it's like i never left the league side of youtube. I can never escape :)
I like the voice over at the end😂😂
Based analysis.
The thing about Yae is no one else has her presence. The shot you chose for the video background says it all.
In terms of kit, it's a mixed bag, the animations are too long and the chance of getting interrupted is high. The pay off is a long duration after setting up, and honestly, it's fun to right here right now on Yae, it's a good balance between power and fun to play.
Some things that were not discussed:
If driving, her normal attacks are SLOW. On the other hand they have decent range and can be both AE or single target
ATK scaling gives her more good weapon options but limits her in reaction focused teams
If you want to wish on the weapon banner then her silly floating chandelier thing is a good option compared to most catalysts, good stat stick with a balance of ATK and crit damage.
🌸😹It would be defined betwixt great ardor her best anchor (teams), and we would be elucidated most thoroughly this day!😹🌸

Zajef explaining why you should have Yae 1st if you use widsith. Me who's already using Yae first, with widsith.... because she's best waifu...
the druttut compilation in the end 😂
I got her on the first day of her first banner, when many people hated her kit
I used her in taisers before Sumeru realise, and after that she and Nahida became one of my most favourite duos
Best outro so far
I need to know, please. The thing about her voice lines is a meme, right?
About putting yae on first slot in abyss if u use widsith , only put her on first slot if u r playing her on first half , cuz as per my observation I think when u switch sides the game considers it as switching chars , so if ur yae is on first slot on the second half she will immediately get wid buff , and effectively lose uptime and dps
Thanks editors
Drututt at the end... golden!!!
Decided to finally pulled for her and won 5050!
The only reason why is because of her synergy with tighnari. My tigh is quite invested and i like his playstyle so much but have to settle with fishl + beidou for his team. And the 2nd reason is because i already have kagura
Spent 60 pulls for her, kirara, and verity
I pull because i want my Ei to have her three pets (crow, fox, cat)
Then i was wondering what team is good for this fox
Your video helps a lot, thank you.
Her E teleport actually makes her fares better against concecrated beast. But then again, i truly loves her and invest alot even getting her to C2 and losing polar twice just to get Kagura.
What an ending
👏👏👏
The drututt voice lines were so unexpected lol
Pulled her for Tighnari. Love the playstyle of quick swap teams
Running her and Kirara has been fun!
I destroyed this abyss second chamber with Yae, Nahida, Fischl and Baizhu. Cleared the first and last floor second chamber in less than a minute but i do have Yae C2, Nahida C2, Fischl C6 and Baizhu C0.
why do you keep pointing out alhaitham being released like tighnari didn't work before that.
thx for helping me decide .... ( future comment ) | hi ( present )

@@lovehope7135 :D
You didn’t need him to decide for you
using TTDS+ToM on her to buff my alhaitham :cornge:
Baizhu Fischl Yae Kazuha C2 is becoming a favorite comfort team if mine now.
finally my Nahida isnt neutering my Kazuha swirls and Yae isnt getting interrupted
Surprised that you didn't consider on-field Yae with Nahida/Baizhu/Hydro, since her auto range is actually quite huge and can hit seeds pretty well.
I've played Yae Koko + XQ with Nahida and it's a great team. I have a few vids on my PF with on-field Yae
RaidenMiko with Nahida and Kokomi become my favourite team really fast after i got her, things only changed after i got Nilou, since she steals both Nahida and Kokomi..
That intro killed me XD
I only just saw the thumbnail and I have no idea who you are, but I simply wanted to say that "Ask Zajef" in all caps looks like keyboard smashing to me and it's very funny, anyway have a good day!
4:26 He talks how she's not something special and can be replaced and she smiles as if she hears him.
I actually got her on her very first banner and used her in abyss ever since. Before dendro i used her with Raiden, Kazuha and Benny. And now i either use her as a sub dps for Alhaitham/Tighnari or in aggrivate teams with Fishl, Kazuha and Baizhu/Yao yao. She is just so comfy man..
When I get Kokomi in the next patch I really want to try a comfy quickbloom team with Yae, Kokomi, Nahida and idk maybe Fishl..
I run her in hyperbloom and she’s a beast. Any cores her E doesn’t get her autos get which is something she has over Fischl
Yae’s another one of those characters that’s totally chill numbers wise, but is very polarizing gameplay wise. Personally used to hate playing her and she was my biggest pull regret, but eventually got used to her EEEREEE gameplay and now Yae aggravate is one of my go-to teams.
Same , i got her and i actually regret pulling but rn she is my strongest and hy far most used electro unit and i hv all electro units as I am electro lover.
im glad you put Drututt in there hes a loon

One of my only 2 units with C2 and 10/10/10, gotta love Yae 🦊
I've been using a duo-DPS setup with Yae, Tighnari, Fischl/Kuki, Nahida - playing around a 25s rotation, works well as long as I can get my Quicken reactions
I'm playing a Quicken team with Tighnari Nahida Fischl Beidou and was thinking of going for Yae to replace Beidou with her, but i'm afraid that Tighnari only gets thrown around without a shielder in the team. I could replace Nahida with Kirara but Nahida is in general the better character ofc, so idk if thats smart or not. Have you got some advices, cause you seem to have good experience with such teams
