Talents & Constellations

Talents

Normal AttackSpiritfox Sin-Eater

Summons forth kitsune spirits, initiating a maximum of 3 attacks that deal Electro DMG.

Normal Attack

Elemental BurstGreat Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin

Legends of "kitsunetsuki," or the manifestation of a kitsune's might, are common in Inazuma's folktales. One that particularly captures the imagination is that of the Sky Kitsune, said to cause lightning to fall down upon the foes of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Summons a lightning strike, dealing AoE Electro DMG. When she uses this skill, Yae Miko will unseal nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Tenko Thunderbolts that descend from the skies, dealing AoE Electro DMG. Each Sesshou Sakura destroyed in this way will create one Tenko Thunderbolt. Only at times like these will Yae reveal her Sky Kitsune form and wield lightning itself. None have seen the Lady Guuji's tails and lived to tell the story... so remember, as far as you are concerned, Lady Yae does not have a tail.

Elemental Burst

1st Ascension PassiveThe Shrine's Sacred Shade

When Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin is unleashed, each Sesshou Sakura involved will reset the cooldown for one instance of Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura. When there are at least 3 Sesshou Sakura nearby at the same time, unleashing Yakan Evocation: Sesshou Sakura will cause Yae Miko to unleash an additional lightning strike which deals Electro DMG at 40% of her ATK. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: The aforementioned additional lightning strike becomes an instance of Electro DMG at 50% of Yae Miko's ATK instead. This DMG will also be considered Stellar-Conduct DMG.

Extends the duration of the Sesshou Sakura by 10s. When a nearby party member triggers a Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct reaction, the next instance of Sesshou Sakura lightning is enhanced as follows: DMG dealt is increased at 80% of Yae Miko's ATK. This effect can trigger once every 2.5s. Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: An enhanced Sesshou Sakura lightning bolt hit on an opponent will also cause an additional instance of Electro DMG at 200% of Yae Miko's ATK. This DMG is considered Stellar-Conduct DMG. Additionally, when inside a Polestar Field, Yae Miko will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state.

After Yae Miko triggers a Superconduct or Stellar-Conduct reaction, or deals Stellar-Conduct DMG, nearby party members will gain a 50% Electro DMG and Stellar-Conduct DMG Bonus for 10s. Triggering these reactions again will refresh the duration of the DMG bonuses.
