Yae Miko's Best Weapons in Genshin Impact 4.4 | Complete Weapon Guide & Analysis

Okay, fellow Travelers, with the Version 4.4 second phase banner dropping, our beloved Guuji Yae Miko is finally getting her rerun alongside Xiao! 🦊✨ I know many of you have been saving up for her, and I'm here to make sure you're fully prepared. Yae Miko is such a versatile queen—she can absolutely dominate as a main Electro DPS or provide insane off-field support. Her Elemental Skill, the Sesshou Sakura totems, are the real stars, dealing consistent and beautiful Electro damage. And the best part? She's already a powerhouse at C0, but of course, unlocking her constellations just makes her even more divine.

But here's the million-Mora question: What weapon should you give her to truly unlock her potential? 🤔 Her damage output can vary wildly depending on what catalyst she's holding. As of 2026, the meta has stabilized, and we have a clear picture of what works best for her playstyle. Let's dive deep into the top weapon choices, from her signature 5-star to amazing 4-star alternatives that you might already have!

Top 5 Weapon Picks for Yae Miko

I've ranked these based on overall damage potential, synergy with her kit, and availability. Remember, the "best" weapon can sometimes depend on your team composition and artifact stats!

1. Kagura's Verity (Signature Weapon) - The Undisputed Queen

yae-miko-s-best-weapons-in-genshin-impact-4-4-complete-weapon-guide-analysis-image-0

  • Base ATK: 608

  • Sub-Stat: CRIT DMG 66.2%

  • Effect (Kagura Dance): Using an Elemental Skill grants a stack that increases Elemental Skill DMG by 12% for 16s (max 3 stacks). At 3 stacks, gain an additional 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus.

Why it's #1: This is literally her weapon. It was made for her. The passive is a perfect match for her playstyle, which revolves around casting her Elemental Skill three times to set up her trio of Sesshou Sakura. This seamlessly grants her the full three stacks, maximizing both her skill damage and giving her a universal damage bonus. The massive CRIT DMG substat is the cherry on top, making artifact farming so much easier. If you're going all-in for Yae, this is the ultimate goal. 💎

2. Skyward Atlas - The Consistent Powerhouse

  • Base ATK: 674 (Highest in the game!)

  • Sub-Stat: ATK 33.1%

  • Effect: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attacks have a 50% chance to summon clouds that attack nearby enemies, dealing 160% ATK DMG.

Why it's great: Don't have her signature? Skyward Atlas is an amazing standard banner option. That sky-high base ATK and ATK% substat give her massive raw numbers. The unconditional 12% Elemental DMG bonus directly buffs all her Electro damage. The cloud passive adds a nice bit of extra off-field damage. It's a very straightforward, no-fuss weapon that provides consistent, high performance. Perfect if you want reliable damage without managing stacks.

3. Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds - The Crit Rate Savior

  • Base ATK: 608

  • Sub-Stat: CRIT Rate 33.1%

  • Effect: Increases Movement SPD by 10%. In battle, gain an 8% Elemental DMG Bonus every 4s (max 4 stacks). Lasts until the character falls or leaves combat.

Why it's great: That massive CRIT Rate substat is a game-changer for your artifact build. It allows you to focus entirely on CRIT DMG and ATK% in your artifacts, potentially leading to insane crit ratios. The stacking Elemental DMG bonus is perfect for Yae Miko, as she often stays on-field to set up her totems and burst. By the time you're ready to unleash her Elemental Burst, you'll likely have a nice damage bonus built up. The movement speed? Just a fun little bonus for exploring Inazuma in style.

4. The Widsith (R5) - The 4-Star God

  • Base ATK: 510

  • Sub-Stat: CRIT DMG 55.1%

  • Effect (Debut): When a character takes the field, they gain a random theme song for 10s (30s cooldown).

    • Recitative: ATK +60%

    • Aria: All Elemental DMG +48%

    • Interlude: Elemental Mastery +240

Why it's a top contender: For a 4-star weapon, The Widsith is absolutely monstrous, especially at Refinement 5. It's the king of 4-star catalysts for DPS characters. Two of its three possible buffs (ATK% and All Elemental DMG%) are phenomenal for Yae's personal damage. The CRIT DMG substat is incredibly valuable. The catch? The buff has downtime and is random. But when it procs, especially with the Aria buff, her damage can rival 5-star weapons for a short, glorious window. It's perfect for quick-swap teams where she pops in, uses her skills, and catches the buff.

5. Solar Pearl (Battle Pass) - The Balanced Choice

  • Base ATK: 510

  • Sub-Stat: CRIT Rate 27.6%

  • Effect: Normal Attack hits increase Elemental Skill & Burst DMG by 20% for 6s. Elemental Skill or Burst hits increase Normal Attack DMG by 20% for 6s.

Why it's solid: If you have the Gnostic Hymn Battle Pass, Solar Pearl is a very reliable and balanced option. The CRIT Rate substat is always welcome. The passive buffs both her skill/burst and her normal attacks, which is nice if you like to use her normal attacks occasionally to apply Electro. While not as explosively powerful as The Widsith's peak, it offers more consistent uptime on its buff, making her damage output very stable.

Quick Comparison & Final Thoughts

Weapon Best For... Key Strength Consider If...
Kagura's Verity Main DPS / Hypercarry Perfect passive synergy, huge CRIT DMG You're pulling for her signature.
Skyward Atlas Consistent High DMG Huge ATK, unconditional DMG bonus You want reliable performance from a standard weapon.
Lost Prayer On-field DPS Massive CRIT Rate, stacking bonus Your artifact CRIT Rate is struggling.
The Widsith (R5) Quick-Swap / Nuke Insane temporary buffs, high CRIT DMG You need a top-tier 4-star option.
Solar Pearl Balanced Playstyle Good CRIT Rate, consistent buff You have the Battle Pass and want stability.

So, which one should you choose? Here's my take:

  • Whale/Devoted Main: Go for Kagura's Verity. It's her bis (best in slot) for a reason.

  • Lucky Standard Banner Enjoyer: Skyward Atlas or Lost Prayer are both fantastic 5-star picks.

  • F2P / Low Spender: The Widsith at high refinement is your best friend. If you don't have it, Mappa Mare (craftable) or Oathsworn Eye (from a past event) are decent substitutes for an Elemental Mastery or energy-focused build.

Ultimately, pairing any of these with a good 4-piece Thundering Fury or Gilded Dreams set (or a 2-piece combo) will make Yae Miko an absolute force on your team. Good luck on your pulls, and may the Electro Archon bless your wishes! ⚡🙏
