Yae’s one of the characters that I love but can’t bring myself to pull. I can’t see myself really using her much and I don’t have unlimited primogems to go pull on a character that I’ll likely end up benching.
@Zhubai Somehow the same happens to me with Ayaka, but because she makes most of the game feel quite... trivial? Like unless an enemy or something can't be freezed it's just too easy. So if you don't especially like her for character reasons, it can lead to getting bored of her I think.
@@wilburforce8046 Coming back from the future, I’ll probably pull Yae during her next rerun. Was saving up for Dehya then hoyoverse decided to make their first 3* character.

Why they had to do her so dirty like that :(
tighnari+yae+fischl+zhongli is almost my favourite team now. its rotation is super short and synergistic, it is really fun and dynamic, and does a lot of dmg (not my best dmg team but it's rlly good still)
i mean if you want to play onfield dendro unit it's just best core (yae + fishl + kazuha\sucrose\zhongli) My friend pulls for yae, just to play onfield collei (and now nahida too)
@@Lumoslay the yae/tighnari/nahida combo is so busted in single target most overworld bosses always get defeated within 2 rotations (or less with fischl or a buffer)
Tighnari was such a godsend for me. I really love Yae’s design but my god the clunkiness was definitely there. I pulled her and her weapon, and honestly they just kinda sat around collecting dust. Then in comes Tighnari. (Thanks Standard Banner, you da real MVP.) Suddenly I use Yae in *every* spiral abyss cycle. Every. Single. One. Because that team just feels so good to play. I’m so glad he was released because I can actually enjoy my fox mommy!
Honestly I feel like Yae Miko is one of the characters you're pulling for cause you love her design and her personality, and her damage being not bad is just a bonus, but for me that means I'm better off sticking with my current Electro characters and saving for someone that would be more valuable to me.
you can cheat a bit with Yae, Nahida aggravate team by putting a prototype Amber on your Nahida. It is copium level heals but it can make that difference in surviving floor 12 or not :D By the way only with Dendro, I managed to crack those 60ks on her turrets. And that used on multiple targets where you can aggravate a lot more often makes the payoff a lot better. I can see now better why they went with 3 turrets instead of 1.
Her three elemental skills only take 1.5 second, in a full 24 second rotation with burst animation, in total she takes around 5 seconds of field time, that's only quarter-ish of a full rotation. While it's still longer than someone like Fischl (even though it's inherently a fallacy to compare them), her field time is exaggerated by so many people that are clueless on how to play her. I still see people right here in the comment complaining about the EEEQEEE which is totally the wrong way to play her, and totally asinine despite the fact that this video kinda addressing about it, so they don't really watch the video lmfao. Heck even Tenten still yapping about it SMH.
I use her with a EM sands and yelan, nahida and zhongli with Yae as the driver. You get both strong aggravates and hyperbloom damage with the flexibility to switch between characters whenever you want as your not locked into an infusion/ult. Zhongli does what he does best i.e buffing, res shred for electro, dendro and hydro and ofc you never die or take damage. Works great for me.
I've had a lot of success using prototype amber Nahida as the "some healing required" on the team. In terms of slot efficiency it's very good, she still adds a lot of team damage, and you can use something like Kazuha or Sucrose with Fischl and still have just enough healing to keep yourself from dying to bleed.
It's sometimes hard for me to gauge team-dps between setups where a catalyst user brings Prototype Amber and ones where a character is replaced by a healer/a similar team is built with them in mind, but Prototype Amber has been great for me at times. I sometimes even prefer it over heals for which you need the character on-field to receive it, Prototype Amber really keeps everyone topped off, I'd love to see it in more weapon classes. (Sucrose is a favorite open-world healer of mine)
Yeah, Zajef is always talking about how good Fav is for Nahida, but isn’t prototype amber even better for regenerating energy to the team? Prototype amber Nahida feels good to me.
Having and actively playing both, I feel like keqing is even stronger than yae in multitarget situations, but in single target ones Yae is the queen. HOWEVER. TF Keqing is so much fun to play, that i find it hard to switch back to righthererightnowemerging with yae
agreed quicken 4tf keqing feels like how keqing was supposed to be played from the start, really flashy jumping all over the place, and actually doing good damage too. plus its very easy to run a no healer comp since half the time you have i-frames and spamming E makes it so you charge atk less, aka better stamina too
@@anandaadiv4949 She was always very fun in quickswaps, which of course sufficed in domains etc., but man you felt the lack of dmg outside of maybe some easy mobbing chambers. Now even a more sustained Keqing is very respectable, I love that Dendro actually ended up patching up some balance issues, just like people had hypothesized. I wonder which aspects were planned and to what degree, I'd assume Kuki benefiting is VERY intentional to the point they designed her around Dendro's release, Keqing benefiting kinda intentional/they realized somewhere in the process and approved, but for example fridge, thundering furry and maybe hyperbloom EM Raiden E-bot, those are probably just happy accidents.
it's interesting how ppl asked so long for an electro version of melt/vape but instead we got quicken, which to me is actually a better reaction and it made units that were seen as bad, stronger, like Keqing, who I prefer over Yae in aggravate teams, but I still use Yae a lot more
Thanks for the updated perspective! Love the ending w the voiceline impressions lollll those n the intros along w the thorough explanations you really get the sense of passion for the game which brightens up the day
I don't like when she is compared to Fischl, since she is much better than her with Nahida. Fischl's cd/duration is kinda not ideal and the damage is a lot different with Yae. not to mention Yae has a burst while Fischl doesn't. Yae is made for Dendro. She is at the top for that matter in Quicken team. You can have a look at my C0 Yae doing 90k per aggravate on my channel.
Zajef, can I just say I really appreciate you listing her pros and cons (especially the mechanical aspect of having to spam her E skill) since I see most other content creators' videos only addressing her damage potential from dendro reactions. I love Yae as a playable character but it's still weird how her kit was designed even if she's still viable damage-wise.
her cons are not as impactful as ppl make them out to be, there are ways to work around most of them, while her pros don't rly stand out in comparison. In the end of the day, I think she's mostly a character that ppl should go for if they still want her despite her drawbacks.
Yae Miko was my first 5* which I pulled accidentally while I didn’t know what I’m doing. She was ok’ish to play only and I ditched her when I got Raiden as my first wanted 5*. Since Dendro I use her a lot in the overworld for AFK’ing quest enemies. Even though she now easily clears Abyss too. She’s easy to build: 2pc 2pc artifacts are enough. DMG is decent. Design is very cool 😎 but there’s better carry’s
Great video. The only thing is missing is admitting her potential vs pesky enemies like ruin serpent, wolflord, rifthounds, spectres, which other units occasionally have issues hitting but she doesn't share those problems as much.
this HAVE to be an analysis that talk about a very VERY VEEEERRRYYYY small amount of dmg difference, cause yae nahida koko + wtv, just slap the abyss so hard i dont even need a third rotation no matter the floor.
Don't really need to watch since I got her on her first banner and already love her, but that title gets my like and comment 👍 I actually have a history professor that constantly says "right here, right now" to relate things to modern day and Yae's quotes always pop in my head lol
god tier video thumbnail xd Yae Miko holding a gilded dreams goblet with tiny Nahida sitting in it taking a pic of Yae, how do your editors even come up with this??
For me Yae is in the same priority as Shenhe. A hot character that I would like to have but is always on a low priority so I never can afford savings to pull for them.
LOVE how you took the plunge to give an honest personal assessment of the character's pull value. Feels like too many tubers are trying sooooo hard to please everyone in fear of angering any simps that come across their videos.
She is NOT a 5 star fischl… their roles are different. Yae (especially in dendro teams) is quickswap main dps while fischl is sub dps. Using yae as a sub dps is horrible and a waste of time
Yae is for people who enjoy a bit of a lazy playstyle. For me, she was a lot of fun to play and totally different from Keqing and Fischl. Always fun with a bit more charm than the rest.
I play yae fishl tighnari and archaic petra zhongli and uts stessful for me Use yaes e Shield and pick up a crystal with zhongli Switch to fishl to snap shot Use tighnari skill and burst Switch to yae burst fast enough before the skills expire Use her skill And switch to tighnari fast enough to use his fast charge attacks Rinse and repeat
That's a really good conclusion right there 5:35 no sugarcoating and no badmouthing either. I don't like Yae, but I find that conclusion is really great. I wish those toxic players learn more from you!
She's pretty... If you're a person of culture, you pulled for her on her original run, however if you were not a person of culture back then, now is your chance.
I like that she's a type of a character like a Cyno (for example): they're not necessary broken, but if you like them, you can make them work just fine. That's how characters strength should be, if you'd ask me
Everything about the voiceline DPS is actually true I've done the testing and the calculations with my Yae to confirm. If just recommend Yae coz she still does a tonne of damage whilst being a drop dead Gorgeous character with an awesome personality. And because she's so hot, I don't mind her on field requirements, to the point where I like them more. Whereas with Fischl I drop Oz and then swap which DPS wise is great, but there's no time to look at Fischl so... I don't care about Amy as much
i personally use her as an off-field electro applicator in an electro charged team with ayato, sucrose and bennett. It solves some issues of her aoe problems and also the em scaling actually is really good especially with the widsith, sucrose, and benentt buffs
i feel so embarassed cause everyone shits on yae's eee > buffs > q> eee playstyle but i always liked it because she looks cool af dancing on the battlefield, instead of a more efficient but basic E> swap like fischl or albedo
I saw oui and edm in chat and instantly knew Papaoutai is being played and checked on the left side just confirm. I have been in Zajef's chat too much.
I pulled for her on a whim on the last day when she released while i was burnt out of the game, didn't play for half a year. Returned. Never built her... until i missed my 50/50 to Tighnari. Now I built both Tighnari & Yae & loving the rotation between the 2 and it's been my most played team since. I'm kinda hoping for a dendro healer/shielder though for thi steam.
The real question that wasn't asked is when do we get the Zajeff voice pack for Genshin. On a different note I actually quite like Yea though I use her with Raiden which basically fixes her ER issues for the most part, you still need to get a good chunk of ER from subs though. Though I really wish they would have made it so using her ulti would just refresh the duration of her turrets instead of consuming them and refunding the CD on them. This would have solved soo much of her quality of life problems without having to spend a ton of time on field constantly setting up the turrets.
"Her E takes a long-ass time to cast" is the perfect proof when Hoyo really wants to push the Fan Service element above Function. If Yae E was shortened to a single cast spawning 1 Totem with the same damage and interval as her current level 3 totem, she would be much better functionally. However, it will be much worse in terms of fanservice because you won't be able to see Yae do the dash move 3 times while saying "Right Here, Right Now, Emerge" which indirectly becomes a memorable characteristic for its users.
Nice Video Mr.Zajef. I used Yae since her 1st banner non stop whit my Raiden and i'll continue to do that but it's nice to see she has more team options now.
I know this is late but with fav sword - kazuha, you can then run prototype amber on nahida if you really want to for the healing and still get all the good stuff that kazuha gives you. Also between the energy refund that prototype amber gives AND fav particles and electro resonance , ER requirements are like nothing
Im actually rly happy i got her somewhat accidentaly on her first banner while pulling for thoma, even tho she used up my guarantee. Knowing myself i wouldnt go for her on rerun, but i use her so much in abyss even before dendro:)
Cleared the current abyss with ease using Yaehida+kazu+kkm, all C0 with widsith+3 free weapons lol. Not sure if other Electro is better or not, but it's safe to say Yae is the most comfortable one imo.
i complaint a lot when she first came out. When dendro makes her viable as an on-field, it somewhat sates my need of love seeing her fox-liked hand gesture after CA. So i will get her to C3 in 3.2 and eventually C6 years later.
She is one of the '3' characters I 'regret' getting. I mainly only pulled for her for the entire "foxy" background story and her namecard. That's it I don't find playstyle that interesting and I value her around the same level as fishl. Not better, not worse, but around the same level. I have her build, she is using a r5 widhish, but still I'm not impressed at all. The short duration of her turrets, her turrets disappearing after ult instead of just refreshing their own duration, etc. Not amazing in any way. However I did get Thighnari while losing the 50/50 for Nahida, and eventually got Nahida too. So, I'll give it a try to see how is she with him. As opposed to: fishl, ei, and kuki. My expectations are low, but who knows. But so far for me: On field Electro DPS = Ei is better - Razor/Kequeen/Cyno, idk as I don't have them or don't have them build Off Field electro DPS = I argue c6 fishl is better than c0 Yae, while c5- fishl is around c0 Yae's level Electro buffing = Sara and Lisa are better Electro defensive support = Yae doesn't do this Really sad that the Ult doesn't just refresh totems duration :(
Can’t watch it until later but hopefully I can have even a minuscule effect on the algorithm. Either way ik I don’t even need to watch it to know the vid will be top quality
My favorite yae team rn is childe,yae,benett,nahida yae and nahida has cons and sig weapon and max except for nahida and you'll basically want more enemies like childe lore to fight and fight i think the 3.2 with nahida,yae and childe grouped together was not by fate because even before nahida has been announced childe,yae,benett,kazuha(nahida) is always on my mind and God i dont have any problem with single & aoe damage
I'm still upset about what Hoyoverse did with Yae. It's not that she's bad, but her kit design just feels so...mediocre. There are multiple characters that can fill her role, she doesn't give any utility besides damage, and her playstyle leaves a lot to be desired. What's even the point of her E having three charges for three turrets when you're going to just use it the same way every time? EEE in a triangle. There's absolutely no reason for it to not be just one charge, besides making her feel worse to play. Plus Hoyo almost made it feel even worse to use with that short lived "closest target" change. Why is her Q the highest cost/cooldown in the game (it's even in its own tier)? Maybe it's because I don't have really good artifacts on her, but the damage doesn't even feel THAT good. A character that has a clunky playstyle and so many caveats doesn't really feel good to play when the benefit is JUST higher damage, without any real utility. But I think the disappointment also comes from the fact that we had to wait 5 patches for her banner after her initial appearance in the story. When a character is hyped up for so long, and then is just "okay", it's bound to end poorly. Anyway, I don't really know why I typed all this up (besides contributing to algorithm, I guess). I'm not trying to discourage people from rolling for her, and I don't know if I would say I regret pulling on her original banner (because god damn do I love kitsunes), but I'm just annoyed that it feels like Hoyoverse just didn't care as much about her playstyle as other characters.
I have Yae, fischl, beidou and every single electro character and tbh, I don't regret pulling for her. She has some issues? Yeah, but she's very cool to play when you combine her skills with her NA wich is pretty good tbf. Character that I regret pulling? Ayato and Cyno.

How much DPS does she lose if she doesn't say "Right here, Right now, Emerge" in that specific order? - OMFG!?! This is a thing? I thought this was a joke. I never knew!!!! P.S : That outro made me just want to use up my guarantee on Yae LMAO!
26:35 Do you know that if you dont push any directional button when using her E, she'll step back, and her voiceline is different, it's "come on out" and "show them", and it will increase like 5% DPS 🤣
Her real pull value imo is drop all her turrets, simply apply dendro, go afk while her turrets chase the hell out of some shitty bosses that move a lot like Ruin Serpent, Wolflord, Maguu Kenki or Dendro cube for you and do its own magic. All without funneling. Truly a QoL character indeed.
She's my favorite in terms of personality, but not so much in terms of game play, so normally I won't pull for her. But I did a 10 pull on her banner to try for Layla, and got her, at 0 pity. I'm destined to main her now.
In one of xlice’s guides he said klee can get 3 stks of crimson by doing E> E+Q (cancels E but still procs crimson)> E. If Klee uses kagura would she be able to reach max stks?
Having gone as far as c2r1, that turret proc hits for 14.5k each time, multiply that by 15 procs and that's a heck of a lot of off-field damage without doing anything else. Recommend for lazy, casual players!

tighnari+yae+fischl+zhongli is almost my favourite team now. its rotation is super short and synergistic, it is really fun and dynamic, and does a lot of dmg (not my best dmg team but it's rlly good still)
Same but Nahida instead of Fischl
I've been enjoying keqing-fischl versions of quicken based teams the most
i mean if you want to play onfield dendro unit it's just best core (yae + fishl + kazuha\sucrose\zhongli)
My friend pulls for yae, just to play onfield collei (and now nahida too)
@@Lumoslay the yae/tighnari/nahida combo is so busted in single target most overworld bosses always get defeated within 2 rotations (or less with fischl or a buffer)
Tighnari was such a godsend for me. I really love Yae’s design but my god the clunkiness was definitely there. I pulled her and her weapon, and honestly they just kinda sat around collecting dust.
Then in comes Tighnari. (Thanks Standard Banner, you da real MVP.)
Suddenly I use Yae in *every* spiral abyss cycle. Every. Single. One. Because that team just feels so good to play. I’m so glad he was released because I can actually enjoy my fox mommy!
The return of the Zajeff voice pack! I'm in love!!!!!
Honestly I feel like Yae Miko is one of the characters you're pulling for cause you love her design and her personality, and her damage being not bad is just a bonus, but for me that means I'm better off sticking with my current Electro characters and saving for someone that would be more valuable to me.
Bro you have the best editors.. what is that thumbnail I love it ❤️🤣🤭

you can cheat a bit with Yae, Nahida aggravate team by putting a prototype Amber on your Nahida. It is copium level heals but it can make that difference in surviving floor 12 or not :D
By the way only with Dendro, I managed to crack those 60ks on her turrets. And that used on multiple targets where you can aggravate a lot more often makes the payoff a lot better. I can see now better why they went with 3 turrets instead of 1.
I just use Zhongli, Nahida, Raiden and Yae. Zhongli for her squishyness. Nahida for aggravate and Raiden for her ER issues.
I know how strong Fischl is, but I simply decided to use Kuki in my Yae quicken, just for the sake of comfort.
By the way only on hyper i can crack 800k total burst dmg on Yae
@@hulahupjingga What set are you using?
@@Brkncntrllr 4p raiden set
Her three elemental skills only take 1.5 second, in a full 24 second rotation with burst animation, in total she takes around 5 seconds of field time, that's only quarter-ish of a full rotation. While it's still longer than someone like Fischl (even though it's inherently a fallacy to compare them), her field time is exaggerated by so many people that are clueless on how to play her. I still see people right here in the comment complaining about the EEEQEEE which is totally the wrong way to play her, and totally asinine despite the fact that this video kinda addressing about it, so they don't really watch the video lmfao. Heck even Tenten still yapping about it SMH.
I use her with a EM sands and yelan, nahida and zhongli with Yae as the driver. You get both strong aggravates and hyperbloom damage with the flexibility to switch between characters whenever you want as your not locked into an infusion/ult. Zhongli does what he does best i.e buffing, res shred for electro, dendro and hydro and ofc you never die or take damage. Works great for me.
I've had a lot of success using prototype amber Nahida as the "some healing required" on the team.
In terms of slot efficiency it's very good, she still adds a lot of team damage, and you can use something like Kazuha or Sucrose with Fischl and still have just enough healing to keep yourself from dying to bleed.
It's sometimes hard for me to gauge team-dps between setups where a catalyst user brings Prototype Amber and ones where a character is replaced by a healer/a similar team is built with them in mind, but Prototype Amber has been great for me at times. I sometimes even prefer it over heals for which you need the character on-field to receive it, Prototype Amber really keeps everyone topped off, I'd love to see it in more weapon classes. (Sucrose is a favorite open-world healer of mine)
I also like it as it is a good way of getting good enough energy recharge on her when she is used off-field.
Yeah, Zajef is always talking about how good Fav is for Nahida, but isn’t prototype amber even better for regenerating energy to the team? Prototype amber Nahida feels good to me.
@@hashclash6596 Prototype Amber doesn't generate energy for the team, only for the wielder
Having and actively playing both, I feel like keqing is even stronger than yae in multitarget situations, but in single target ones Yae is the queen. HOWEVER. TF Keqing is so much fun to play, that i find it hard to switch back to righthererightnowemerging with yae
Same! Keqing playstyle is so fun that I really don't feel like swapping to Miko even if it's for a slight increase. I also feel safer with Keqing.
agreed quicken 4tf keqing feels like how keqing was supposed to be played from the start, really flashy jumping all over the place, and actually doing good damage too. plus its very easy to run a no healer comp since half the time you have i-frames and spamming E makes it so you charge atk less, aka better stamina too
@@anandaadiv4949 She was always very fun in quickswaps, which of course sufficed in domains etc., but man you felt the lack of dmg outside of maybe some easy mobbing chambers. Now even a more sustained Keqing is very respectable, I love that Dendro actually ended up patching up some balance issues, just like people had hypothesized.
I wonder which aspects were planned and to what degree, I'd assume Kuki benefiting is VERY intentional to the point they designed her around Dendro's release, Keqing benefiting kinda intentional/they realized somewhere in the process and approved, but for example fridge, thundering furry and maybe hyperbloom EM Raiden E-bot, those are probably just happy accidents.
it's interesting how ppl asked so long for an electro version of melt/vape but instead we got quicken, which to me is actually a better reaction and it made units that were seen as bad, stronger, like Keqing, who I prefer over Yae in aggravate teams, but I still use Yae a lot more
@@ruxbon True, electro wouldn't be as good if Quicken disappeared right away.
The namecard backgrounds for the questions is such a nice touch!
Thanks for the updated perspective!
Love the ending w the voiceline impressions lollll those n the intros along w the thorough explanations you really get the sense of passion for the game which brightens up the day
I don't like when she is compared to Fischl, since she is much better than her with Nahida. Fischl's cd/duration is kinda not ideal and the damage is a lot different with Yae. not to mention Yae has a burst while Fischl doesn't. Yae is made for Dendro. She is at the top for that matter in Quicken team. You can have a look at my C0 Yae doing 90k per aggravate on my channel.
C2 just improves comfort. Nice to lay totems and know that my flanks are being covered.
Two Zajef uploads in one day
Christmas came early
Zajef, can I just say I really appreciate you listing her pros and cons (especially the mechanical aspect of having to spam her E skill) since I see most other content creators' videos only addressing her damage potential from dendro reactions. I love Yae as a playable character but it's still weird how her kit was designed even if she's still viable damage-wise.
her cons are not as impactful as ppl make them out to be, there are ways to work around most of them, while her pros don't rly stand out in comparison. In the end of the day, I think she's mostly a character that ppl should go for if they still want her despite her drawbacks.
She is more than viable
Yae Miko was my first 5* which I pulled accidentally while I didn’t know what I’m doing. She was ok’ish to play only and I ditched her when I got Raiden as my first wanted 5*. Since Dendro I use her a lot in the overworld for AFK’ing quest enemies. Even though she now easily clears Abyss too. She’s easy to build: 2pc 2pc artifacts are enough. DMG is decent. Design is very cool 😎 but there’s better carry’s
Great video. The only thing is missing is admitting her potential vs pesky enemies like ruin serpent, wolflord, rifthounds, spectres, which other units occasionally have issues hitting but she doesn't share those problems as much.
True, in terms of comfort she's the best in those situations. She'll basically never miss a hit of her damage.
this HAVE to be an analysis that talk about a very VERY VEEEERRRYYYY small amount of dmg difference, cause yae nahida koko + wtv, just slap the abyss so hard i dont even need a third rotation no matter the floor.
Amazing Video . Loved your thoughts on this and yes I am one of those people who value your opinion on pull value of a character. So, Thank you !!
Don't really need to watch since I got her on her first banner and already love her, but that title gets my like and comment 👍
I actually have a history professor that constantly says "right here, right now" to relate things to modern day and Yae's quotes always pop in my head lol
god tier video thumbnail xd
Yae Miko holding a gilded dreams goblet with tiny Nahida sitting in it taking a pic of Yae, how do your editors even come up with this??
For me Yae is in the same priority as Shenhe. A hot character that I would like to have but is always on a low priority so I never can afford savings to pull for them.
lmao me with yoimiya
LOVE how you took the plunge to give an honest personal assessment of the character's pull value.
Feels like too many tubers are trying sooooo hard to please everyone in fear of angering any simps that come across their videos.
i bet if Hoyoverse gave her a hold E to use her skill it would make her 100 times better. she could really be the 5 star fischl she was meant to be.
She is NOT a 5 star fischl… their roles are different. Yae (especially in dendro teams) is quickswap main dps while fischl is sub dps. Using yae as a sub dps is horrible and a waste of time
Yae is for people who enjoy a bit of a lazy playstyle. For me, she was a lot of fun to play and totally different from Keqing and Fischl. Always fun with a bit more charm than the rest.
more like turret defense playstyle, not lazy
mono geo had that playstyle before Itto was released
Well said
Last part is so true she’s fun af
yeah i think it’s really funny to see enemies die and my characters are just standing there lmao
I play yae fishl tighnari and archaic petra zhongli and uts stessful for me
Use yaes e
Shield and pick up a crystal with zhongli
Switch to fishl to snap shot
Use tighnari skill and burst
Switch to yae burst fast enough before the skills expire
Use her skill
And switch to tighnari fast enough to use his fast charge attacks
Rinse and repeat
☺️ I always use her, and will always be. Never get bored playing her, she's so much fun.
That's a really good conclusion right there 5:35 no sugarcoating and no badmouthing either. I don't like Yae, but I find that conclusion is really great. I wish those toxic players learn more from you!
She's pretty...
If you're a person of culture, you pulled for her on her original run, however if you were not a person of culture back then, now is your chance.
she feels so so much better with nahida and widhstih now
I like that she's a type of a character like a Cyno (for example): they're not necessary broken, but if you like them, you can make them work just fine. That's how characters strength should be, if you'd ask me
Everything about the voiceline DPS is actually true I've done the testing and the calculations with my Yae to confirm.
If just recommend Yae coz she still does a tonne of damage whilst being a drop dead Gorgeous character with an awesome personality. And because she's so hot, I don't mind her on field requirements, to the point where I like them more. Whereas with Fischl I drop Oz and then swap which DPS wise is great, but there's no time to look at Fischl so... I don't care about Amy as much
Forget the yae miko in game , after watching the end of the vidéo zajef should be the new yae miko
He loves Fischel so much. I watched 4 videos in a row and he simped each time. this is beautiful
Wow new Zajef video on Yae Miko, so informative!!
OH THE MISERY
E E E
LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF!!
i personally use her as an off-field electro applicator in an electro charged team with ayato, sucrose and bennett. It solves some issues of her aoe problems and also the em scaling actually is really good especially with the widsith, sucrose, and benentt buffs
the discussion on the voicelines DPS loss is arguably the best section in this video lmao
i feel so embarassed cause everyone shits on yae's eee > buffs > q> eee playstyle but i always liked it because she looks cool af dancing on the battlefield, instead of a more efficient but basic E> swap like fischl or albedo
That playstyle would have been fine were she more durable. That squishyness is the Bane of her kit.
It just depends on preferences. I never noped out of a character as fast as yae after trying her
People would loved it a little bit more if she had interruption resistance, or she can cast it faster.
Nahida plus yae is mega pogger synergy. Everything in nahidas kit buffs yae
thank you for that wonderful outro
I saw oui and edm in chat and instantly knew Papaoutai is being played and checked on the left side just confirm. I have been in Zajef's chat too much.
The Miko pog at 27:17 convinced me, I'm selling my house to C6R5 Miko
if she says "emerge" 3 times in a row then it's a 69% dps loss
Nice
Actually any voiceline that are repeated 3 times, yes
She always was Yae for me
Thank you for your amazing content as always 💚
I hate resetting in abyss to get the right voice line order for DPS
I pulled for her on a whim on the last day when she released while i was burnt out of the game, didn't play for half a year. Returned. Never built her... until i missed my 50/50 to Tighnari. Now I built both Tighnari & Yae & loving the rotation between the 2 and it's been my most played team since.
I'm kinda hoping for a dendro healer/shielder though for thi steam.
baizhu moment
The real question that wasn't asked is when do we get the Zajeff voice pack for Genshin.
On a different note I actually quite like Yea though I use her with Raiden which basically fixes her ER issues for the most part, you still need to get a good chunk of ER from subs though. Though I really wish they would have made it so using her ulti would just refresh the duration of her turrets instead of consuming them and refunding the CD on them. This would have solved soo much of her quality of life problems without having to spend a ton of time on field constantly setting up the turrets.
I'm waiting for a dendro healer like kokomi to come one day, then ill break the game with sucrose, yae & fischl
"Her E takes a long-ass time to cast" is the perfect proof when Hoyo really wants to push the Fan Service element above Function.
If Yae E was shortened to a single cast spawning 1 Totem with the same damage and interval as her current level 3 totem, she would be much better functionally.
However, it will be much worse in terms of fanservice because you won't be able to see Yae do the dash move 3 times while saying
"Right Here, Right Now, Emerge" which indirectly becomes a memorable characteristic for its users.
Nice Video Mr.Zajef. I used Yae since her 1st banner non stop whit my Raiden and i'll continue to do that but it's nice to see she has more team options now.
I know this is late but with fav sword - kazuha, you can then run prototype amber on nahida if you really want to for the healing and still get all the good stuff that kazuha gives you. Also between the energy refund that prototype amber gives AND fav particles and electro resonance , ER requirements are like nothing
Right here, right now, emerge
I never knew step on my lady zajeff was a genre until that outro killed me
Im actually rly happy i got her somewhat accidentaly on her first banner while pulling for thoma, even tho she used up my guarantee. Knowing myself i wouldnt go for her on rerun, but i use her so much in abyss even before dendro:)
Cleared the current abyss with ease using Yaehida+kazu+kkm, all C0 with widsith+3 free weapons lol. Not sure if other Electro is better or not, but it's safe to say Yae is the most comfortable one imo.
The Thumbnail right here , right now EMERGE
the problem I've faced so far in using yae is just the skill cast takes too long and there's no Superarmor or
i complaint a lot when she first came out. When dendro makes her viable as an on-field, it somewhat sates my need of love seeing her fox-liked hand gesture after CA. So i will get her to C3 in 3.2 and eventually C6 years later.
these titles get better every video man, u love to see it
A title that he totally didn't admit to stealing from a comment up above lmao
I think 12:45 is so funny
It sounds like a small child saying “Wings of darkness!” and “temple of wisdom!”
These THUMBNAILS are fabulous!
She is one of the '3' characters I 'regret' getting. I mainly only pulled for her for the entire "foxy" background story and her namecard. That's it
I don't find playstyle that interesting and I value her around the same level as fishl. Not better, not worse, but around the same level.
I have her build, she is using a r5 widhish, but still I'm not impressed at all. The short duration of her turrets, her turrets disappearing after ult instead of just refreshing their own duration, etc. Not amazing in any way.
However I did get Thighnari while losing the 50/50 for Nahida, and eventually got Nahida too. So, I'll give it a try to see how is she with him. As opposed to: fishl, ei, and kuki. My expectations are low, but who knows. But so far for me:
On field Electro DPS = Ei is better - Razor/Kequeen/Cyno, idk as I don't have them or don't have them build
Off Field electro DPS = I argue c6 fishl is better than c0 Yae, while c5- fishl is around c0 Yae's level
Electro buffing = Sara and Lisa are better
Electro defensive support = Yae doesn't do this
Really sad that the Ult doesn't just refresh totems duration :(
dont mind me just algorithming
Can’t watch it until later but hopefully I can have even a minuscule effect on the algorithm. Either way ik I don’t even need to watch it to know the vid will be top quality
My favorite yae team rn is childe,yae,benett,nahida yae and nahida has cons and sig weapon and max except for nahida and you'll basically want more enemies like childe lore to fight and fight i think the 3.2 with nahida,yae and childe grouped together was not by fate because even before nahida has been announced childe,yae,benett,kazuha(nahida) is always on my mind and God i dont have any problem with single & aoe damage
I'm still upset about what Hoyoverse did with Yae. It's not that she's bad, but her kit design just feels so...mediocre. There are multiple characters that can fill her role, she doesn't give any utility besides damage, and her playstyle leaves a lot to be desired.
What's even the point of her E having three charges for three turrets when you're going to just use it the same way every time? EEE in a triangle. There's absolutely no reason for it to not be just one charge, besides making her feel worse to play. Plus Hoyo almost made it feel even worse to use with that short lived "closest target" change.
Why is her Q the highest cost/cooldown in the game (it's even in its own tier)? Maybe it's because I don't have really good artifacts on her, but the damage doesn't even feel THAT good.
A character that has a clunky playstyle and so many caveats doesn't really feel good to play when the benefit is JUST higher damage, without any real utility. But I think the disappointment also comes from the fact that we had to wait 5 patches for her banner after her initial appearance in the story. When a character is hyped up for so long, and then is just "okay", it's bound to end poorly.
Anyway, I don't really know why I typed all this up (besides contributing to algorithm, I guess). I'm not trying to discourage people from rolling for her, and I don't know if I would say I regret pulling on her original banner (because god damn do I love kitsunes), but I'm just annoyed that it feels like Hoyoverse just didn't care as much about her playstyle as other characters.
I have Yae, fischl, beidou and every single electro character and tbh, I don't regret pulling for her. She has some issues? Yeah, but she's very cool to play when you combine her skills with her NA wich is pretty good tbf. Character that I regret pulling? Ayato and Cyno.
i pulled both her and tighnari while getting c6 heizou, so im excited to try building a team with the two of them together
There is only one thing i hear.
Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emergeRight here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge Right here right now emerge
Best outro 10/10 convinced me to roll for yae I will be very upset if that voiceline doesnt play ingame
How much DPS does she lose if she doesn't say "Right here, Right now, Emerge" in that specific order? - OMFG!?! This is a thing? I thought this was a joke. I never knew!!!!
P.S : That outro made me just want to use up my guarantee on Yae LMAO!
The voice over is golden! XD
26:35 Do you know that if you dont push any directional button when using her E, she'll step back, and her voiceline is different, it's "come on out" and "show them", and it will increase like 5% DPS 🤣
COPIUM outro xD, it's always a worth it thing to drop by!
Her real pull value imo is drop all her turrets, simply apply dendro, go afk while her turrets chase the hell out of some shitty bosses that move a lot like Ruin Serpent, Wolflord, Maguu Kenki or Dendro cube for you and do its own magic. All without funneling. Truly a QoL character indeed.
Another banger Zajeff title and thumbnail
i’m living for the outro HDNHAJSHS
pulling yae for my tighnari to use with sucrose... i swear i don't have a thing for animal eared characters
She's my favorite in terms of personality, but not so much in terms of game play, so normally I won't pull for her. But I did a 10 pull on her banner to try for Layla, and got her, at 0 pity. I'm destined to main her now.
In one of xlice’s guides he said klee can get 3 stks of crimson by doing E> E+Q (cancels E but still procs crimson)> E. If Klee uses kagura would she be able to reach max stks?
Having gone as far as c2r1, that turret proc hits for 14.5k each time, multiply that by 15 procs and that's a heck of a lot of off-field damage without doing anything else. Recommend for lazy, casual players!
my question is: for the future, knowing baizhu will be a healer and alhaitham an on-field dendro dps, does yae make sense for such a team?
I won't tell how many times I replayed that intro. Nuh uh.
