Disenchantment in Deep Shadow vs golden troupe? Which will be her best in slot?

The Leaks Subreddit has died down a bit, but here's the interaction from the top posts of the day, broken down as Upvotes / Comments

Sandrone: 1.7k - 632

Yae Miko: 2.2k - 837

Cyno: 1.2k - 442

Wriothesley: 1.7k - 475

Mizuki: 873 😢 - 228

Qiqi: 1.5k - 521

Diona: 1.0k - 172

Beidou: 1.4k - 246

Yae Miko is still VERY popular apparently, despite releasing so long ago and having so little screentime recently.

So with all the recent buffs and with the fact that Wriothesley is getting buffed too and he wasn't in the Fontaine Chronicle banner... Can she escape the Inazuma Chronicle banner and get her rerun as a simple Character Event wish?

Hello guys,
Since there are new people and Yae Miko’s kit will be getting some changes we’ve created a mega thread for the purpose of discussing those changes and even voicing your opinions.
Please keep to this megathread for discussion on n the kit and changes and comments unless posting anything else that adheres to subreddit posting rules, such questions about team building (I.e. no
Posts about “ I don’t like her kit”).

Happy talking!

Edit : typo on changes I apologize 🙃- Erza senpai

This is specifically about Yae but mostly applies to all the other buffed units as well.

I'll start with this: I don't want to get Sandrone.

They changed her element, removed Polunia and made her a Neuvillette clone with harsher teambuilding restrictions. Thats my choice and I stick by it.

So reading Yae's buffs and seeing every single one of her damage buffs be locked behind the Stellarconduct field just rubs me the wrong way, especially considering Stellarconduct seems to be exclusivly locked behind new Sneznahyan 5stars.

And its not like the other buffs are bad in the slightest, they're actually fucking insane! Having 24s uptime on turrets and burst not destroy the turrets is already fixing basically all the QoL issues I had with her, and the con selector lets us get her c1 for free with helps her energy issues + gives an additional damage buff!

But... thats half of Yae's issues. Powercreep hit genshin harder than ever to the point units released less than a year ago are struggling with the rampant HP inflation & bullshit gimmick checks, and Yae is one of those units that never really had amazing damage in the first place. What use is the QoL if she's still gonna underpreform in the damage department? She's an off-field damage dealer, thats what she does, and your seriously telling me my Yae is still gonna do 2.X levels of damage unless I run her in a team with a specific new 5star? really?

Thats just bait for players to engage with their Stellar shilling. Im "heavily incentivized" (forced) to pull a 5star unit I dont want to "fix" a 5star unit I already had.

And Yae is honestly one of the bigger winners of this buff, she has a team! Cyno and Wriothesley literally don't have an off-fielder Stellar unit to run with, so their buffs are just cosmetic until 7.0 when we'll get more Stellar characters.

And of course all of this could be fixed if they release more accesible Stellarconduct units in the future, which is certainly a possibility, but I have my doubts. We've all already seen the "formula" they set up with lunar reactions: 1 on fielder, 1 off fielder, and a "archon" that works for all different lunar reactions.

I sadly believe they'll continue the same formula here, which just means that if you want your buffed units to do anything prepare to pull on at least one of the new units, that doesn't sit right with me. I'd love to be wrong and see that unlike NK they'll allow Snez 4stars to trigger Stellar, or heck maybe even let cryo traveler enable them, but with how greedy Hoyo's been recently thats just blind cope the way I see it.

EDIT to better clarify my issue: In NK, the only characters to engage with Lunar reactions were Lunar enablers themselves, you could run a unit like Nefer without Lauma and still have a Lunar-bloom team. With the introduction of Stellarconduct we're getting character that interact with Stellarconduct but cannot enable that mechanic themselves, their kit is literally incomplete without a different unit on the team.

is it still gonna be golden troupe?

A Yae skin has been on my wish list for a while now. Bonus points if she has one of her tails out.

the EEEQEEE is annoying as hell and still not being fixed to accomodate her weapon really irks me, I dont mind the damage buffs, I mean we all know she wont be top meta but still serviceable but her gameplay makes me wanna throw up, hopefully they work on the triple E issue. usually by the time you finishing EEE and swap to your sub/support then main DPS the totems already start disappearing, idk how good the 10 sec duration extension will be cause we still need to do the EEEQEEE every rotation

But worth discussing anyway.

So I’m using Yae on gilded, with Fischl on TotM and R1 elegy, Nahida on deepwood (I need to get a different set, though I’m not sure what would be best for the team since deepwood is useless here) on R5 event 6.0 weapon and Xilonen with R1. What’s the rotation? Im currently doing Yae 3e, Fishcl e, xilonen e N2 q, Nahida e q, and then Yae q into na until reset. I get around 23k dps with this team
