This was our Yae Miko Best Build Guide. If you are looking for a great Electro Sub-DPS then you can opt for Yae Miko. But if you already have a well built Fischl, you should not pull her. Although she is more powerful than Fischl, you can save your Primos for Kamisato Ayato and Yelen that are releasing in the Genshin Impact 2.6 update according to some confirmed leaks.
