Talents

Yelan is a hydro DPS who deals substantial damage and applies hydro to set up reactions. Her kit can be convenient to use purely for off-field purposes but it also has room for interesting combos that aspiring players can learn.

Stealthy Bowshot | Attack
Normal	Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charge	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.
Plunge	Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Breakthrough	Yelan will enter a “Breakthrough” state after spending 5 seconds 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 Yelan’s Max HP.

Players can actually choose to ignore charged attack and its breakthrough mechanic completely but we think it still has merit for trying out.

If you’re out of combat for 5 seconds she gets the breakthrough state. You’ll notice her wristband glowing which means the effect is ready. I should emphasize that out of combat means your team should not be in battle. It won’t work even if Yelan is not switched in but you’re still in combat.

This reduces her charged attack cooldown. In fact, it’s almost instantaneously charged and makes it deal AOE hydro damage.

In theory, doing a breakthrough charged attack is good especially against groups of enemies simply because it’s quick AOE damage. It produces an AOE even if the shot hits the ground so aiming isn’t that necessary.

You must level up her normal attack to increase its damage, which consumes resources for a talent with a somewhat niche purpose. But it’s something you can eventually do to cover all bases of her kit.

Basically, only use and level this if you want to maximize her entire kit rotation; otherwise, ignore it and focus on her Skill and Burst.

Lingering Lifeline | Skill

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 Moves a certain distance forward swiftly. Hold Engages in continuous, swift movement, during which Yelan’s resistance to interruption is increased. During this time, Yelan can control this rapid movement and end it 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.

Her skill work by passing through enemies while it’s triggered marks them. Either you press it for instant damage or hold it to move around quickly and mark more enemies to damage.

This can be quite helpful for battlefield mobility. You gain interruption resistance by using the hold version, but you still take damage and reaction effects like being frozen.

All enemies marked will simultaneously take hydro damage when triggered and you’ll generate 4 hydro particles. It should be noted that the Hydro only applies when it is activated, not when the mark is applied. This actually can be set up for vaporized reactions.

We found that it actually deals good damage, though because it scales on HP, attack buffs have no effect on it. It also has another mechanic in which each enemy marked gives a 34% chance to reset her breakthrough state if it’s on cooldown.

So, while waiting to catch the hydro particles generated by her skill, you can use her charge attack.

Depth-Clarion Dice | Burst

Deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an “Exquisite Throw,” which aids her in battle. Exquisite Throw This follows the character around and will initiate a coordinated attack under the following circumstances, dealing Hydro DMG based on Yelan’s Max HP: This can occur once every second when your active character uses a Normal Attack. It will initiate a coordinated attack each time Yelan’s Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.

When you activate her burst, you deal AOE hydro damage and summon a dice that deals coordinated attacks every second with the active character’s normal attacks. It deals damage and applies hydro by firing three projectiles at once. It can also activate its effect if you trigger her skill damage.

This is Yelan’s main source of damage and hydro application utility, making it the most important part of her kit. Level up her Burst talent first, then her Skill level, and finally her Normal Attack talent, depending on your usage.
