Genshin Impact leaks: Yae Miko's release date, Ascension Materials, and banner order

Yae Miko will supposedly arrive in the first banner of Genshin Impact 2.5. Logically, that would mean her release date is the same as the 2.5 update, which points to a February 16, 2022 release date.

A few other recent leaks suggest that no other 5-star character will have a banner running alongside Yae Miko's.

On a related note, a 5-star Catalyst weapon known as Kagura's Verity is also scheduled to be featured in the first weapon banner of Genshin Impact 2.5. Another 5-star weapon of note is a sword known as Primordial Jade Cutter.

Getting Yae Miko's Ascension and Talent Level-Up Materials

Travelers already know what she needs to max out her level and Talents, thanks to some old leaks. Vajrada Amethyst items and Dragonheir's False Fin can be obtained by slaying the Coral Defenders.

Note: Travelers must complete The Subterranean Trials of Drake and Serpent to fight them.

The above interactive map will help players find Sea Ganoderma, all 152 of them. Like other Local Specialties, they will reset in 48 hours after the player picks them up. Only 168 are needed for Yae Miko, so it's easily obtainable after a single reset.

The Old/Famed/Kageuchi Handguards she needs for her Ascensions and Talents are easily farmed by slaying Nobushi and Kairagi. The latter enemy spawns near Nobushi.

Travelers can farm the Teachings of/Guide to/Philosophies of Light by completing the Violet Court Domain. However, it must only be done on Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday, as the Talent Level-Up Material won't be available on the other days. This is something aspiring Yae Miko mains have to keep in mind.

The last Talent Level-Up Material of note is the unnamed one (simply referred to as "?" right now). It's rumored to be dropped by the upcoming weekly boss featuring the Raiden Shogun's puppet, which currently has several Genshin Impact leaks already dedicated to it.
