Based on the official announcements and early patch notes of v4.4, Yae Miko and Xiao will have their reruns in the second-half banners of the update. Xiao is a hypercarry DPS unit from Liyue Harbor and uses quick dashes and plunge attacks to deal massive damage.

Yae Miko, on the other hand, is a sub-DPS that provides consistent off-field damage with a high-damage burst. Both 5-star characters are excellent units and perform exceptionally well in their intended roles.
