Normal Attack Stealthy Bowshot_Yelan_Characters_Genshin_Impact.png Stealthy Bowshot After a short time out of combat, Yelan will enter a “Breakthrough” state which will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have decreased charge time. Once charged, she can fire a “Breakthrough Barb” that will deal AoE Hydro damage.
Elemental Skill Lingering_Lifeline_Yelan_Characters_Genshin_Impact.png Lingering Lifeline Tapping or holding the skill button allows Yelan to move rapidly using her Lifeline, marking opponents along her path. When her rapid move ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro damage to marked targets. This has a chance to reset her “Breakthrough” state, based on the number of opponents marked.

Yelan Builds

Hydro Support Build

Yelan is best played as a Support/Sub DPS as her sustained DPS isn’t quite as high as other characters. This means she’s best used for her Elemental Burst as this persists even when she isn’t active. For this reason, it’s best to equip her with gear that gives her Energy Recharge.

Talent Priority

As mentioned above, you’ll mainly be using her for her Elemental Burst: Depth-Clarion Dice, so naturally, that should be your priority. After that, focus on her Elemental Skill: Lingering Lifeline for some extra damage. Lastly, her normal attack: Stealthy Bowshot, but only bother with this if you’re going to be making use of it.

Yelan’s Best Equipment

Weapon Artifact Set 1 Artifact Set 2
Aqua_Simulacra_Weapons_Genshin_Impact.png Aqua Simulacra Emblem_of_Severed_Fate_Flower_Artifacts_Genshin_Impact.png Emblem of Severed Fate (4 pcs)

It’s no surprise that the weapon released alongside Yelan is the best for her. The Cleansing Form will increase your HP by 16% even when she isn’t on the field! It’ll also increase her damage by 20%. With her artifact set, you’ll want to use the full Emblem of Severed Fate set as this’ll give you 20% Energy Recharge with the 2-Piece, and Elemental Burst damage based off 25% of your Energy Recharge up to 75%.
