Yelan’s Release Date¶

Introduction¶

A Mysterious person who claims to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but is a “non-entity” on the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ list.

Yelan’s Skills¶

Talents	Icon	Name	Notes
Normal Attack		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	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.
Elemental Burst		Depth-Clarion Dice	Creates a wondrous dice that deals AoE Hydro damage which aids Yelan in battle. The dice will follow her around and initiate a coordinated attack when your active character uses a normal attack, and each time that her Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.

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	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%.

Yelan’s Best Weapons Ranked¶

Rating	Icon	Weapon	Base Attack	Bonus Effect	Skill Effect
Best		Aqua Simulacra	44	CRIT DMG + 19.2%	The Cleansing Form: HP is increased by 16%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether the character is on-field or not.
Second Best		Favonius Warbow	41	Energy Recharge + 13.3%	Windfall: CRIT hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s.
Third Best		Polar Star	46	CRIT Rate + 7.2%	Daylight’s Augury: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.
