2. Yelan Genshin Impact Abilities

Normal Attack: Stealthy Bowshot

  • Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
  • Charged Attack: Perform a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, flowing water will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged torrential arrow will deal Hydro DMG.
  • Breakthrough State: Yelan will enter a "Breakthrough" state after spending 5s out of combat, which will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have 80% decreased charge time, and once charged, she can fire a "Breakthrough Barb" that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on her Max HP.
  • Plunging Attack: Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact

Elemental Skill: Lingering Lifeline

Yelan's Dice is going to function the same way as Xingqiu's Rainswords

Fires off a Lifeline that tractors her in rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path. When her rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP.

  • Tap mode: Moves a certain distance forward swiftly.
  • Hold mode:  Engages in continuous, swift movement. During this time, Yelan can control her sprint direction and can end this quick movement by using this Skill again. Additionally, each opponent marked by the Lifeline when it explodes grants Yelan a 34% chance to reset her Breakthrough state.

Elemental Burst: Exquisite Throw

Deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an "Exquisite Throw," which aids her in battle.

  • Will occur each time Yelan's Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.

  • Turn Control: When the party has 1/2/3/4 Elemental Types, Yelan's Max HP is increased by 6%/12%/18%/30%.
  • Adapt With Ease: So long as an Exquisite Throw is in play, your own active character deals 1% more DMG. This increases by a further 3.5% DMG every second. The maximum increase to DMG dealt is 50%. The pre-existing effect will be dispelled if Depth-Clarion Dice is recast during its duration.

  • Beware the Trickster's Dice: Increases the Level of Depth-Clarion Dice by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.
