A new post on the popular Genshin Impact subreddit shows a funny interaction between one of the most popular characters, Yae Miko, and the Unusual Hilichurl, better known as Wei. He is a unique common enemy in Genshin Impact that spawns every 12 hours in various different locations in the regions of Mondstadt and Liyue.

Unlike other Hilichurls, Wei is a passive unit, and he does not react unless he’s being attacked. If Wei is left alone, he will remain in the same spot for 12 hours before reappearing in another location. Redditor Crashkitsune has shared a hilarious video showing how his Yae Miko managed to push Wei into a bay south of the Statue of The Seven in Windrise. This was accomplished by pushing Yae Miko’s model against the Hilichurl, which is probably not an interaction that HoYoverse intended while introducing Wei to the game.
Even though Wei is one of the fan-favorite NPCs in Genshin Impact, his tragedy in this recent clip was well-received in the game’s community, and it gathered over 3k upvotes. The creator of the video said that it took him around 25 minutes in order to finish this mischievous deed. Yae Miko is a fairly new character, introduced back in the first part of Genshin Impact Version 2.5 during the “When the Sakura Bloom” event.
Players’ affection for this character dates back many months before her official release as she used to be a huge part of the whole Inazuma arc. She is a five-star Electro character with strong supportive capabilities, but she can also be used in the DPS or sub-DPS role. Even though the current Genshin Impact Version 2.6 added another popular character named Kamisato Ayato, it’s safe to say that Yae Miko remained the main topic in the community.
This was due to HoYoverse’s controversial decision to change Miko’s elemental skill in order to make her damage output more consistent. However, this change was met with a major backlash from the community as the new mechanic that made her totems prioritize the nearest target instead of having a random target selection made Yae’s skill almost useless in certain situations. Luckily, HoYoverse decided to revert the changes a couple of days after.
Genshin Impact is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is currently in development with no confirmed release date.
