Leaks show adjustments to Yae Miko’s elemental skill in the next Genshin Impact update

Dataminer UBatchahas revealed possible changes to Yae Miko’s elemental skill, Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura. The leaked beta video shows her fox turrets prioritizing hitting the nearest enemies.

Currently, this elemental skill can summon three Sesshou Sakura (fox turrets) that periodically strike opponents with lightning, dealing Electro damage. The automatic skill randomly strikes targets, sometimes even inanimate objects such as stoves, torches, and firepits, an issue thatMtashedraised in one of his videos.

“If you build her, you can throw her in a lot of different compositions. She does her job, but doesn’t do anything too special,”Mtashed commented.

HoYoverse has shown that they are all ears on player feedback, judging from previousZhongli’s buffs. The developers gave the Geo Archon enhanced talents, optimized controls, improved Geo resonance mechanics, and an adjusted shield in version 1.3.

“We will read each and every one [of your feedback] carefully and work hard to adjust and optimize the game, so as not to fall short of your expectations,” the developers stated in one of theirblogs.

These rumored changes to Yae Miko’s kit might be released in time for version 2.6.
