Genshin Impact 2.5 leaks reveal Yae Miko's Elemental Skill and Burst animations

Ubatcha on Twitter, recently uploaded Yae Miko's gameplay that explained how she can control lightning and use it to thrash opponents.

Yae Miko's Elemental Skill

With her Elemental Skill, Yae Miko moves rapidly (almost teleports) and leaves behind a Lethal Sakura. The Sakura can deal Electro damage to a nearby opponent, or combine with other Sakuras to get a damage buff.

The leaked showcase has confirmed the aforementioned information about Yae Miko's Elemental Skill. The character can swiftly move with her skill and summon Sakuras that do Electro DMG.

It is worth noting that Yae Miko can leave behind a maximum of three Lethal Sakuras at the same time.

Yae Miko's Elemental Burst

It won't be an overstatement that Yae Miko has one of the best Elemental Burst animations in Genshin Impact. Before dealing massive AoE (Area of Effect) Electro damage in the form of thunderstrikes, her eyes glow up with Electro, and she reveals her fox form for a split second.

An interesting aspect of Yae Miko's Elemental Burst is its dependence on the Elemental Skill. Apparently, when Yae uses the burst, any Lethal Sakuras on the field are converted into ferocious Tenko Thunderstrikes.

Alongside her combat animations, Yae Miko's idle animations have been revealed ahead of her release in Genshin Impact version 2.5. She seems to be holding a Gohei, which is a wooden wand used in Shinto rituals.

Yae Miko uses the Gohei in her idle animations as well as some attacks.

As per Ubatcha, Yae will be the only new character in Genshin Impact version 2.5, and a ton of information regarding her playstyle, signature weapon, talents, and constellations can be expected in the upcoming days.
