The five-star Electro Catalyst character Yae Miko has returned for her first-ever rerun in Genshin Impact’s Version 3.2 update. Many players are likely now attaining the kitsune character and seeking the best ways to go about building her up and gathering her Talent and Ascension materials.
Wishing on a featured five-star in Genshin Impact and actually being lucky enough to obtain them is extremely exciting and will likely lead to players wanting to jump into battle with their new recruit right away. Obtaining a five-star character, however, is only the first step towards being successful in battle and players won’t see success from their shiny new five-star character until they put in the work to actually build their abilities up by collecting their Talent and Ascension materials.
