Meet Yae Miko, a dazzling Limited 5-Star Electro Catalyst character in Genshin Impact! She delivers impressive damage to a multitude of teams, whether she's in the spotlight or supporting from the sidelines. And guess what? With the game's recent updates since her debut banner, she's become even more formidable - easily a top pick for those playing the meta. Now, her versatility and the ability to juggle different stats can be a bit mind-boggling. But hey, no worries! This guide is here to clear up any confusion, giving you the lowdown on her various playstyles and how to gear her up for each one. Enjoy!
<aside> 🌱 This guide will focus on Yae Miko’s quickbloom team archetype.

“Eternity means never having to let go of what you already have. But on the other hand, it also means giving up on all other possibilities. That's just the way of the world... No one can have everything.“ - Yae Miko
Yae Miko has a lot of team archetypes she can work in, especially dendro ones. The one, in particular, I want to talk about is the quickbloom variant. This guide assumes one already knows how Yae’s kit works and explains how her quickbloom team works and what units are good for her.
<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Quickbloom teams rely on both Aggravate/Spread and Hyperbloom. The key to making a team like this work is to maintain a Quicken Aura as much as possible even though it won’t be 100% of the time.
</aside>
The amount of Quicken uptime will depend on the Hydro, Dendro, and Electro applications. Faster Hydro will reduce uptime while faster Dendro and Electro will increase it. For the flex slot it is best to use someone that doesn’t interfere too much with Bloom generation, doesn’t trigger Blooms, and doesn’t remove Quicken.
This is the premium QuickBloom team consisting of Yae Miko, Furina, Nahida, and Baizhu.
Kokomi has a slow Hydro application when used off-field so she doesn’t interfere much or at all with the Quicken Aura. Her Bloom generation is a bit lacking in single target but she gets a good amount in AoE. Xingqiu and Yelan offer strong single target damage and Hydro application which can remove the Quicken Aura, not as much of an issue in AoE.
Furina has slow Hydro application while also providing a large DMG% buff to the whole team based on HP lost and gained. This DMG% is great for the teammates that do significant talent dmg as well as trigger Aggravate or Spread. This will force one of the team slots to be a healer, which will usually be in the flex slot.
Nahida is again the best option because strong off-field Dendro application is so important. Dendro MC can also work if Nahida is not available. Similarly to standard Hyperbloom, Collei and Yao Yao aren't great, but if you need a healer go with Yao Yao or (preferably) Baizhu.
If using Furina, the flex slot should be a healer to counteract Furina's HP drain as well as generate more Fanfare. Given that Furina's HP drain is team-wide, it is preferable to use a team-wide healer. Therefore, Baizhu or Yaoyao are the generally recommended options, though Baizhu needing less field time makes him the clear best option.
The team damage is split between Hyperbloom, Aggravate and Spread. Yae should have a good balance of EM, Crit, and Damage%. Someone should carry the Deepwood set, usually the Dendro unit.
