Yelan's main role in your party should be as an Off-field damage dealer aswell as a Hydro applicator allowing for powerfulElemental Reactions to take place.

Yelan's best weapon is normally Aqua Simulacra however, Elegy for the Endcan often deal more teamwide damage in teams with a lot of Elemental Reactions.This is because of the Elemental Mastery increases it can provide. Weaponssuch as Favonius Warbow and Sacrificial Bow are greatfor lowering Energy Recharge requirements. Mouun's Moon and The Stringlessare better options if you do not need high Energy Recharge.

Emblem of Severed Fate is an amazing Artifact choice for Yelan.Emblem is also an incredibly efficient artifact set to farm, with itbeing used on characters such as Raiden Shogun, Xianglingand Xingqiu to name a few.

Yelan often has high Energy Recharge requirements, these can depend onhow many times she uses Lingering Lifeline either dueto the effects of Sacrificial Bow or the additional chargeprovided by Enter the Plotters.

While off-field for 5 seconds, Yelan enters Breakthroughdealing a powerful Charged Attack. It will however apply the sameamount of Hydro as any Charged Attack.

You can also reset Breakthrough when using Lingering Lifeline'shold functionality. This will be indicated by the bracelet on Yelan's right armglowing blue.

Lingering Lifeline is also a great skill to group enemies incombat. You will generally use Lingering Lifeline before swapping to yourElemental Burst, Depth-Clarion Dice.

Yelan's powerful off-field damage allows her to be incredibly flexible in awide-range of team compositions with the Hydro Applicationbeing beneficial in many Vaporize, Dendroand Freeze teams.

Here are 2 examples of Vaporize teams which involve theMain DPS Hu Tao to deal massive damage. One example utilisesthe powerful pairing of Xingqiu and Yelan to regularly applyHydro while Hu Tao vaporizes enemies. The second exampleinstead uses Furina for her powerful DMG buffs and thereforeneeds a healer. Bennett is most suited for this role due tohealing, damage buffs from Fantastic Voyage andPyro Resonance.

Here is one such example of a Hyperbloom using characters such as Alhaitham andKuki Shinobu to help produce theHyperbloom reaction. Alhaitham is yourOn-field character, constantly applying Dendro while theremaining characters apply a lot of Hydro andElectro.

Listed are 2 examples of a Bloom team: oneinvolving 3 Hydro and one involving 2. Nilouis incredibly important to Bloom reactions dueto her Court of Dancing Petals Passive.

The first team is a more standardcomposition allowing Alhaitham to deal the majority of theparties damage with Baizhu applying additional Dendroapplication and healing as needed. The second team however utilises Nahida'spowerful Dendro Application to have 3 Hydro instead.

Mono Hydro teams have been around for a whilebut with the release of Furina, they have been able to outputmuch higher DPS than ever before. Characters such as Yelan andXingqiu provide a large amount of off-field damage,Kazuha is a powerful unit in general often replacingXingqiu's damage for decreased Hydro RES whileSangonomiya Kokomi and even Furina at C6 play more of anon-field role.
