Im gonna hijack your comment and say that i got lucky by getting two yelans, one qiqi and one aqua simulacra in 130 pulls. First yelan 50/50, then qiqi :c, then guaranteed yelan. Aqua simulacra was not guaranteed either lol. I prefarmed her, so weapon and characther are lvl 90, and her talents are 9-9-10. At a glance, i must say its really fun to play with her. I also prefarmed artifacts for quite a while, and being able to do just over 10k per arrow its so damn satisfying. I have to admit though. Im barely able to reach 10k-12k(at 18% hp boost from passive), so for anyone thinking its going to be easy, its not. You will have an easier time if you utilize her hp% passive and resonance though. I was able to balance my yelan at 170~ER(which is just enough at C1), ~60crit and ~230critdmg and 36k hp(at 18% boost from passive). So yea, i could make it better (+200~ more in avg, dmg.), by increasing critrate, or i could run her in a team that fully uses her passive, but that just goes to show that baseline 10k arrows in a good build isnt exactly easy to reach, unless you completly ditch ER, which is NOT a good idea, even with C1. I had some fun with her in a frozen team in Abyss 12. She is really fun. Best of luck in pulls!
It's worth mentioning that fav bow has 60% er while sac bow has 30%, and since yelan doesnt care about the base attack she scales better from fav on emblem bonus
Yes and imo Fav bow is the best 4* weapon and should be rated 4 star above as it doesn't only resolve her own ER requirement but also can help battery her teammates and of course that ER stat can help boost the Emblem's 4 pc effect.
True and since she always run with 4 pc emblem anyway so that huge ER stat from Fav bow boost its 4pc effect plus its Fav's passive is too good to pass.
Thats true but using emblem can solve ur yelan er ( and this is why yelan C1 so good, double e make ur ER more lower and u can focus on CRT ). And if u use xinqiu with yelan ur ER can be lower and can be focus on CRT
You can focus almost all your substats on hp, crit rate and crit dmg which make fav better than aqua imo. Aqua I'd only playable if u have yelan c1 as the er requirements become ridiculous otherwise
@@navneetremanand8281 False. The amount of crit dmg on aqua let you focus on more ER on your artifacts because Aqua is a 5* weapon with the lowest base atk, which is perfect for Yelan.

Fav is probably the best bow after her signature Aqua Simulacra. Aqua is better because it's a flat out bigger stat sticks. It's worth more crit dmg rolls than fav is worth ER rolls. Other than that fav is much better than something like Skyward Harp. Better than polar star as well.

regarding her artifacts. Yes, with 2 tenacity 2 HoD you get more damage on her E. But the effect raises when you attack a lot of enemies. If you have particular floors with a lot of enemies, you will definitely deal much more damage. + her BTB deals AOE damage. Where with Emblem you only raise her burst damage, which deals damage to one target. My go would still be for 2+2

I’ve only been playing for a few months new and pulled Yelan as my first 5 star summon today and I’m so happy! Excited to get to continue to play the game and build up her character
For a complete guide I would really like to see a comparison between hydro and HP cup. This is important because HP cup is really, really easy to get compared to hydro. Us non-whales need to decide between an HP cup with 30+ crit value vs a hydro cup with crap stats. In this case XQ wants the same set too!
HP cup is ok if: - you have godly substats on a HP cup compared to your hydro cup options ; - you have elemental dmg bonus from team and stuff (Kazuha, Aqua Simulacra, etc.)
I think you shouldn't mind using HP cup until you get a hydro cup with some better stats. Because a good hydro cup comes eventually. There's really no reason to include that detail into the video.
It's hard to evaluate without seeing your stats. You can pad HP in so many ways. If you're using an ER sands, Hydro resonance, Aqua, and have a few HP rolls. The hydro cup basically has ~2 extra crit rolls more damage. If you have an HP cup with like 14 more crit value, then go for that one. But hydro cups might be easier to roll since HP can be a substat for a hydro cup. If you already have enough ER (using fav bow or something) and thus using an HP sands as well. Then subsequent HP isnt worth as much. You're looking at 3+ crit rolls worth of advantage for a hydro cup. You can honestly trip over a hydro cup that would be better than the best HP cup.
if anyone was wondering! i used skyward harp on my yelan then switched to stringless (tested the dmg with the exact same build) they both did the exact same dmg but the stringless yelan had 20% less cr and cd :)
I think you are vastly underestimating how good favonius is on her. It's probably honestly her best weapon overall, not her signature weapon, for MOST teams unless you are funneling her energy like crazy from other units.
Saved for months and got C1 Yelan + her Aqua (a Keqing Con, Homa, and Skyward Pride too :/). Seeing that C2 has it's own ICD and is a massive 20% damage boost is so tempting.
Yesterday I did my pulls! Got her c1 on a 50 50 at 77 got aqua first try on 64 and a tighnari for a guarantee at 52!!! I am so happy cause I was super anxious about it .😆 My cousins both got Hutao so we were all happy after that!
I totally agree that C1 is 5 slimes out of 5. It indeed feels like one of the best quality-of-life constellations I've seen in this game. I know people talk about overworld exploration, and that's definitely true, but I'm more interested in the combat aspect of it: - Deals decent dmg, especially vs smaller mobs (one shots most hilichurls for example). In Spiral Abyss, this means you can kill a wave, then kill the next wave using just a skill on one character. - Makes 3 particles for each use. These days, she's my go-to battery out in the overworld for filling up people's energy when I revive someone, regardless of their element, she's just so much better at it than most others BECAUSE of C1. So many particles in just a few seconds. - Saves on stamina compared to sprinting, VERY good when paired with a melee carry (I'm looking at you Hu Tao C0 or Klee) - Instant Hydro application. Very nice to immediately follow up with Cryo or Pyro for a freeze/vape. - Knocks smaller enemies into the air and sucks them towards the center. Great crowd control, but also interrupts them. Can easily use a different character, swap to her, knock them over, swap back, then repeat to neutralize them a second time because you have two charges. It seriously makes most overworld encounters a joke. The enemies literally can't do anything. Having two charges is STRONG. - It activates FAST and moves quickly, which lets you weave around enemies with ease (allows you to easily dodge some nasty stuff, especially for boss encounters). Having the option to zip away at a moments notice and not have to worry about reserving stamina for that purpose is super nice. - Lastly, you don't have to use them both. That's probably pretty obvious, but what I mean is that: you still have one in reserve and the other one is recharging, as opposed to C0 where once you use it, you have to wait before you can do it again (it's either available or it's not). But with C1, you can spread them out, either use them in quick succession or have some delay, but either way, you often have at LEAST one you can use at a moments notice. It turns it from "a nice skill I might want to save" to "I can use it even though it's recharging." C1 creates a ton of flexibility and makes the overall uptime significantly better.
Im trying to get one more Xingqiu to C5, and i have a hard time deciding between Hutao or Yelan C1 (Just pushing my imagination thinking it will give me early). And i decide to pull on Yelan banner and it give me at 20 pity. Been using the C1 in combat and explore, and i can say im so glad i choose Yelan C1.
Yea not gonna lie the weapon ranking in the video was terrible. Elegy/fav are significantly better for overall damage. Aqua is only good if you have enough er (which can be quite hard to achieve) or if you are whaling on cons/refinements.
I have a c0 yelan .. I got aqua trying to get Homa .. with my build I have around 70cr 210cd 170 energy recharge.. I know it’s generally better to have at least 180-200 recharge .. but do you think if I run favonius on supports I could get away with this build ?
@@kachowdah1520 it depends on the supp i think. my yelan 150ish er running with xinq sac sword. try on abyss cleared it 10x with no burst uptime problem
It's worth mentioning that 5* weapons (including Aqua) are bait for C0 Yelan, because C0 Yelan has very high ER requirements which can easily be solved with a Favonius Warbow. Aqua Simulacra is probably better to pull if you already have a C1 Yelan, or you run a ton of ER *and* pair her with a Favonius or Sacrificial Xingqiu, however that eliminates the ability to run a solo hydro Yelan.
yea i like having the option to run her on a different abyss team than xinqui, and when i do want to go doube hydro i just leave her on fav and put something else on xingqui like jade cutter etc. Aqua is mostly worth if you also have other bow dps on your account, for example it's basically as strong on tighnari as hunters path, childe, fishl, ganyu yoimiya etc.
I was thinking about pulling for c1 or r1 but then realized I would need both to really make pulling to be worth it. Because there’s really no good f2p weapon for c1 (fav / sac bows makes c1 kinda worthless). And r1 has energy issues for c0
@@kameprod5000 r1 c0 can be fine if you run double hydro with sac/fav on xingqui, but in solo hydro yelan its pretty hard. C0 with fav is just so good that u shouldnt feel any fomo to pull, only if u want. Remember fontaine is around the corner with 10+ new units in 2023 :)
Good take but about ER all depend on your gear stats build so all depend how good your sets, and you can use double Hydro like with Xingqiu is really solve the ER problem too
@OhReally? I don't mean like that I mean numerically. Every character has base 50% CD. Her bow is a flat 88, add em up you get 138 CD. He said he has 150, how the fuck did he not manage to get literally a single crit damage roll on his artifacts lmaooooo man has abysmal luck on artifacts 🤣
After 2+ years of playing (50% is on hiatus tho💀) i finally got my first ever limited weapon. I already have both yelan and hutao so the current weapon banner is absolute win for me, and i got aqua! I glad i got that rather than homa tho, since i use yelan alot in so many teams and hutao in only few :D
I lost my 50:50 to Qiqi of all people... But thankfully the guaranteed came early in 30 pulls. Now I still have a chance to get enough for another pity on the weapon banner before the banner ends.
Got Yelan unexpectedly and she’s already shredding everything in her path at lvl 60. I actually feel comfortable trying floor 12 of Spiral Abyss for the first time once I get her to lvl 80. Thanks for the vid. This was helpful
Just realize how Yelans kit is the opposite of Dehya Yelan - Everything works well together, skill buff burst buff skill etc. Just throw random sh*t on artifact and It'll work. Hp, crit, er, em u got it all. All bows work too. Dehya - Skill cant be active during burst, burst cant connect with NA, only for mono pyro, nearly no synergy with other chars too. "Its evolving, just backwards"
i got diluc not that im sad though, i wanted yelan *for* diluc anyway, and im already 50 pulls in (after losing the 50/50) so that's good! ill farm as much as possible for the next two weeks and hope for the best. good luck to everyone pulling and congrats to those who got her!!
@@megachonker4123 early pulls and no 50/50 were lost. Insane luck overall. He sold his soul to the devil and will probably have the most painful death as a result of that.
I won 5 50/50s in a row and 4 were early for characters that I didn't care about getting and now I saved 60 pulls for Yelan (who I wanted) and 82 pulls in I received my C6 Qiqi
I watched all of your videos about Yelan and used the combo you guide like BTB Q E N... but now I got yelan and her weapon. why not what this again too. hehe. i love your videos
I got pretty lucky with this banner...at first I was happy to get an early pity 5 star at 50 pulls, since that rarely happens for me, but then I lost the 50/50 to Diluc...so while i was internally groaning, I got an even earlier pity with only 30 pulls and I got Yelan. I also managed to get her signature weapon in only 60 pulls. Overall, 140 wishes for 3 5 stars, pretty happy with the outcome *edit* lol... so after some debating, i've decided to go for C2 Yelan.. not really sure if I can call this lucky or not, but here is how my pulls went from the start 64th pull - lost the 50/50 to Diluc 32nd pull - Yelan 5th pull - lost the 50/50 to Mona 68th pull - Yelan - C1 7th pull - lost the 50/50 to Qiqi 24th pull - Yelan - C2 56th pull - Aqua Simulacra total pulls - 260 pulls ( I didn't do single pulls, the odd numbers for the 5 stars were what it would have been if I did single pulls) so... 260 pulls for 7 - 5 Stars.. an average of 37 pulls per 5 star... but I did lose all 3 50/50s.... so I dunno...I feel like its lucky and at the same time not...lol
Thanks for this video after a year I finally was lucky yesterday under 180 pulls I was able to secure hu tao yelan and aqua I hope you guys will also get lucky
@@Sofia8687 yes I was unlucky for past few banners so I'm quite happy from these stats I'm now saving for kazuha Or ganyu I hope you get the characters you want too
Yelan is the only character that i encountered where i want to c6 her. Shame i dont have the money to but i plan to slowly build her up to c6, i have to start with the aqua simulacra 1st. See you in ??? years when i finally c6+aqua simulacra her!
If you want some confidence, I got her to c1 during her first run and have been saving for her rerun since. I got her to c4 with the saved primos and thats with me losing back to back 50/50s so I could have had a c6 without spending if I had the luck.
Been saving for a while, couldn't wait to pull for her. And when I pulled guess who showed up? Bunny Tigrassri 😩 oh well, see you on the next rerun Yelan
I'm torn C2 Skyward Harp or C5 Favonius Warbow. Running 4 piece Emblem. Have no issues with ER or Crit Rate. I have a God tier set. All opinions and suggestions welcome!
16:50 I also went with that team and I called it KokoMaChinGun Sadly I discovered that Mona is a bit better but still a super fun team 100% recommended
Oh, I’m guaranteed Yelans C4 n didn’t think about the boost for Nilou, damn, Kokomi (or Baizhu), Nilou, Yelan and Nahida gonna be even better. Def will go for C4 😍🙏🏻
I got C2 first re-run with saved primos , got her weapon with the first 10 pull , and then since no character interesting to me came out until now I saved 320+ wishes and used them and got her C6 :D , I use her on a Mona C6 , Yelan C6 , Hu Tao C1 , Diona C6 Team, very functional in a lot of situations
Thank you for the guide! I'm so glad I got her, unfortunately I'm gonna have to stop for now but as you said C1 is so worth it, so I guess I'll try to get it next time. 🙏 It's insane that we get such a powerful and flexible unit as Yelan, and the set that fits her the best is ESF, mine has 10% less than my Shogun, so at C0 no energy problems. 😂
nice video like always. there is just one thing thats funny. idk why its saying that her E is max 3 sec long when its acually 4 sec. i stopped time and its 4 all the time. so it would be acually 8 sec straight running through the overworld XD
I watched your video so many times and I saw all the charts still I've a question. For my C0 Yelan who'll just be working as Xingqiu substitute as a burst character, which weapon should I use? As per your chart recurve has higher damage than favonius or sacrificial. That's the 3 weapon I'm considering. I don't have any 5 star weapons. Any response will be highly appreciated. Thank you
Yelan isnt just one of the best characters in the game her kit is also one of the best designed ones. other characters didnt get that much love from hoyo devs (kokomi and yoimiya for example)
Yoimiya is actually one of the stronger characters. She got a bad impression due to her state on release and those initial videos coloured all subsequent opinion of her. Much of her early review centered around her being able to vape most of Xingqui's rainswords which was the team at the time. With Yunjin her damage is actually significantly higher than a vape team. She's competitive. At least A tier. Kokomi on the other hand. Literally could be replaced by any hydro healer who applies even a slight amount of hydro (which apparently Barbara can't do so she loses). The bar is incredibly low. Cyno is another ehhh character. Why does he have a 15 second ult???? Or was it 18 seconds? I don't remember, it's just too long. It's not super strong like having Raiden ult for 15 seconds. It's like a weaker ult for a longer duration, you want that right? Do you want a weaker but longer ult so you can outlast your Bennet ult? Mihoyo thought this was a good idea. Eula is also terrible. Other than the C6 damage memes I regret Eula so much. Most bosses do not have 7 second openings for you to even land her ult (closer to 9 seconds if you include animation). But Mika is coming so maybe she would be rounded out but I'm still hating on the backloaded ult.
@@SourDonut99 I agree with you but I was mostly commenting on her kit design which I find to be fairly bad. Yoimyia has a burst that isnt only bad it also doesnt wanna be used because her best artifact set sacrifices energy... bad design if you ask me kokomi burst is only really used to refresh the jellyfish but if you happen to miss the timing which happens alot since there is no HUD info for durations of skills and buffs you just wasted the burst which is really bad design. also -100% crit for 25% healing bonus is a complete insult especially since its a passive which should only really be a net postive.
Thank you for the guide IWTL! I was wondering what would be a sweetspot for ER requirements for Yelan on a double Hydro team with a favonius weapon on one of the other characters? I'm trying to maximize my rotations as well as Yelan's damage.
@@Coronavirus-bb1rs Thank you for your response! I was actually thinking of running her with Nilou on a bloom team so that I can run Xingqiu on a National/International team. I actually put favonius lance on Yaoyao and paired her with Nahida for double Hydro and Dendro resonance. Would 140 ER still be the minimum I can build her with or should I still aim for more? In that regard, if I can reach the minimum ER requirement, is it safe to run the 2pc Tenacity and HoD instead of the 4pc Emblem? Thank you in advance for your response. I just got Yelan and I'm still studying how to maximize her potential in her team. :)

Us non-whales need to decide between an HP cup with 30+ crit value vs a hydro cup with crap stats. In this case XQ wants the same set too!
HP cup is ok if:
- you have godly substats on a HP cup compared to your hydro cup options ;
- you have elemental dmg bonus from team and stuff (Kazuha, Aqua Simulacra, etc.)
Hydro is always better imo
I think you shouldn't mind using HP cup until you get a hydro cup with some better stats. Because a good hydro cup comes eventually. There's really no reason to include that detail into the video.
It's hard to evaluate without seeing your stats.
You can pad HP in so many ways. If you're using an ER sands, Hydro resonance, Aqua, and have a few HP rolls. The hydro cup basically has ~2 extra crit rolls more damage.
If you have an HP cup with like 14 more crit value, then go for that one. But hydro cups might be easier to roll since HP can be a substat for a hydro cup.
If you already have enough ER (using fav bow or something) and thus using an HP sands as well. Then subsequent HP isnt worth as much. You're looking at 3+ crit rolls worth of advantage for a hydro cup. You can honestly trip over a hydro cup that would be better than the best HP cup.
Use an optimizer because it really depends on your account
I was just watching your old videos! Great timing.
I pulled for yelan and i got her in 50/50 good luck to all, may she come home
Thank you for this guide, especially for the weapon and constellation ranking charts.
I was waiting for your Yelan build. Thanks 🥺
if anyone was wondering! i used skyward harp on my yelan then switched to stringless (tested the dmg with the exact same build) they both did the exact same dmg but the stringless yelan had 20% less cr and cd :)
i use skyward because it makes my crits look sm better and it feels wrong to give yelan a low lvl stringless she’s too pretty for that
Got her at 30 pity today with a 50/50!!!
Got her losing the 50/50 to Qiqi on 140 :)))))))))()())(((()))()()(

I got her too! Hell yeah! Not at 30 pity thoooo
@@adrianpaulochoa9825 Same but Keqing. But its fine
A mainstay for my Hyperbloom team with Nahida and Kuki. Absolute beast of a unit. Got her during her first banner and not regretting it.
I think you are vastly underestimating how good favonius is on her. It's probably honestly her best weapon overall, not her signature weapon, for MOST teams unless you are funneling her energy like crazy from other units.
I really loved the situational rating of weapons, I really needed this, thanks a lot
Saved for months and got C1 Yelan + her Aqua (a Keqing Con, Homa, and Skyward Pride too :/).
Seeing that C2 has it's own ICD and is a massive 20% damage boost is so tempting.
Yesterday I did my pulls! Got her c1 on a 50 50 at 77 got aqua first try on 64 and a tighnari for a guarantee at 52!!! I am so happy cause I was super anxious about it .😆 My cousins both got Hutao so we were all happy after that!
I totally agree that C1 is 5 slimes out of 5. It indeed feels like one of the best quality-of-life constellations I've seen in this game. I know people talk about overworld exploration, and that's definitely true, but I'm more interested in the combat aspect of it:
- Deals decent dmg, especially vs smaller mobs (one shots most hilichurls for example). In Spiral Abyss, this means you can kill a wave, then kill the next wave using just a skill on one character.
- Makes 3 particles for each use. These days, she's my go-to battery out in the overworld for filling up people's energy when I revive someone, regardless of their element, she's just so much better at it than most others BECAUSE of C1. So many particles in just a few seconds.
- Saves on stamina compared to sprinting, VERY good when paired with a melee carry (I'm looking at you Hu Tao C0 or Klee)
- Instant Hydro application. Very nice to immediately follow up with Cryo or Pyro for a freeze/vape.
- Knocks smaller enemies into the air and sucks them towards the center. Great crowd control, but also interrupts them. Can easily use a different character, swap to her, knock them over, swap back, then repeat to neutralize them a second time because you have two charges. It seriously makes most overworld encounters a joke. The enemies literally can't do anything. Having two charges is STRONG.
- It activates FAST and moves quickly, which lets you weave around enemies with ease (allows you to easily dodge some nasty stuff, especially for boss encounters). Having the option to zip away at a moments notice and not have to worry about reserving stamina for that purpose is super nice.
- Lastly, you don't have to use them both. That's probably pretty obvious, but what I mean is that: you still have one in reserve and the other one is recharging, as opposed to C0 where once you use it, you have to wait before you can do it again (it's either available or it's not). But with C1, you can spread them out, either use them in quick succession or have some delay, but either way, you often have at LEAST one you can use at a moments notice. It turns it from "a nice skill I might want to save" to "I can use it even though it's recharging." C1 creates a ton of flexibility and makes the overall uptime significantly better.
Each one of her cons are good tbh
Im trying to get one more Xingqiu to C5, and i have a hard time deciding between Hutao or Yelan C1 (Just pushing my imagination thinking it will give me early). And i decide to pull on Yelan banner and it give me at 20 pity. Been using the C1 in combat and explore, and i can say im so glad i choose Yelan C1.
Small recommendation: If you only have Yelan at c0 and run her in a team without any other hydro unit, favonious warbow is her best weapon overall.
Yea not gonna lie the weapon ranking in the video was terrible. Elegy/fav are significantly better for overall damage. Aqua is only good if you have enough er (which can be quite hard to achieve) or if you are whaling on cons/refinements.
Yep, i was disappointed he gave them 3/5 when id personally give them a 5/5. Gotta remember this channel is all about that unga boonga big number.
I have a c0 yelan .. I got aqua trying to get Homa .. with my build I have around 70cr 210cd 170 energy recharge.. I know it’s generally better to have at least 180-200 recharge .. but do you think if I run favonius on supports I could get away with this build ?
@@kachowdah1520 Yeah but you gotta make those rotation real good and always E>Q but in double hydro with XQ your goated
@@kachowdah1520 it depends on the supp i think. my yelan 150ish er running with xinq sac sword. try on abyss cleared it 10x with no burst uptime problem
15:48 she do be spinning doe
She allowed me to go from 33 stars to 36. I'm already in love.
Your videos butter my biscuits thank you
Can't wait for the updated Shenhe guide in 2025! ^^
It's worth mentioning that 5* weapons (including Aqua) are bait for C0 Yelan, because C0 Yelan has very high ER requirements which can easily be solved with a Favonius Warbow. Aqua Simulacra is probably better to pull if you already have a C1 Yelan, or you run a ton of ER *and* pair her with a Favonius or Sacrificial Xingqiu, however that eliminates the ability to run a solo hydro Yelan.
yea i like having the option to run her on a different abyss team than xinqui, and when i do want to go doube hydro i just leave her on fav and put something else on xingqui like jade cutter etc. Aqua is mostly worth if you also have other bow dps on your account, for example it's basically as strong on tighnari as hunters path, childe, fishl, ganyu yoimiya etc.
Very good comment, I’d like to add that Fav is often better than Sac because of the much higher chance of triggering the passive
I was thinking about pulling for c1 or r1 but then realized I would need both to really make pulling to be worth it. Because there’s really no good f2p weapon for c1 (fav / sac bows makes c1 kinda worthless). And r1 has energy issues for c0
@@kameprod5000 r1 c0 can be fine if you run double hydro with sac/fav on xingqui, but in solo hydro yelan its pretty hard. C0 with fav is just so good that u shouldnt feel any fomo to pull, only if u want. Remember fontaine is around the corner with 10+ new units in 2023 :)
Good take but about ER all depend on your gear stats build so all depend how good your sets, and you can use double Hydro like with Xingqiu is really solve the ER problem too
I like the stickers spinning around the screen!😆👍🏼
Thank god i got Yelan and her bow. i also got tighnari on the same pull when i got her. (Im f2p in which is really lucky for me)
Thanks for posting those charts. I love them
just got my c1 Yelan today! shes a permanent endgame content uber team for my overworld with wanderer
i got her im so happy … my first time winning a 50/50 2x in a row.
My first time winning a 50/50 period. (My 2nd 50/50 though)
same!
Fun fact I was watching your old yelan videos and I got this notification 😂😂😂
i love ULTIMATE guide. i love details
good luck for all those yelan wanters
thank you! just got yelan and aqua kinda unexpectedly so I needed a guide!
I her c1 and bow!!! Im hyped for this, thanks!!! Shes even 80 cr and 150 cd the best built character i have now
Her bow has 88 CD how the fuck do you only have 150 CD 🤣
@@dr.strange1300 still better ratio than to have copium crit rate and just high CD...i don't understand people with 45 CR and then 250 CD
@OhReally? I don't mean like that I mean numerically. Every character has base 50% CD. Her bow is a flat 88, add em up you get 138 CD. He said he has 150, how the fuck did he not manage to get literally a single crit damage roll on his artifacts lmaooooo man has abysmal luck on artifacts 🤣
100% agree with you, but the rest of the rolls were pretty good. I do agree im missing like 50% cd easily if more than 1 artifact had cd.
@@dr.strange1300 simple...he is very unlucky with crit damage rolls😂
Good luck to everyone pulling for yelan!!
Got her yesterday (it's 2-3am)
Lost 50 to deezluc wanted C1 tighnari or even keqing
I lost 50/50 😢
I lost 2 50/50 for yelan 🥲🤣
Lost to c0 tighnari and I'm at 51 pity now aughhhhhhhh, was super mad cuz I legit didn't even know tighnari could be pulled in event banners
Just got her. Super excited!
Omg finally i can relate to yelan guides cuz she finally came home this time around
After 2+ years of playing (50% is on hiatus tho💀) i finally got my first ever limited weapon. I already have both yelan and hutao so the current weapon banner is absolute win for me, and i got aqua! I glad i got that rather than homa tho, since i use yelan alot in so many teams and hutao in only few :D
I lost my 50:50 to Qiqi of all people...
But thankfully the guaranteed came early in 30 pulls. Now I still have a chance to get enough for another pity on the weapon banner before the banner ends.
Yes finally the completed guide for Yelan is out!!
Got Yelan unexpectedly and she’s already shredding everything in her path at lvl 60. I actually feel comfortable trying floor 12 of Spiral Abyss for the first time once I get her to lvl 80. Thanks for the vid. This was helpful
Just realize how Yelans kit is the opposite of Dehya
Yelan - Everything works well together, skill buff burst buff skill etc. Just throw random sh*t on artifact and It'll work. Hp, crit, er, em u got it all. All bows work too.
Dehya - Skill cant be active during burst, burst cant connect with NA, only for mono pyro, nearly no synergy with other chars too.
"Its evolving, just backwards"
also, yelan does big pp damage while dehya does xinyan tier damage
Yelan's from Liyue, ofc they make her OP
i got diluc
not that im sad though, i wanted yelan *for* diluc anyway, and im already 50 pulls in (after losing the 50/50) so that's good! ill farm as much as possible for the next two weeks and hope for the best.
good luck to everyone pulling and congrats to those who got her!!
I recently got Yelan and her weapon in 120 pull, I love using double hyrdro, Nahida, and Raiden for hyperbloom
I am using Childe, Yelan, Xinqiu, Kazuha (yes, no healer) and I have never had so much fun
15:48
Yelan spinning her way home:
Today you were not much excited like all of your other videos but still great detailed video thnx
Got her c6 in 430 pulls 🎉
Wtf how
So this is where my luck went
@@megachonker4123 early pulls and no 50/50 were lost. Insane luck overall. He sold his soul to the devil and will probably have the most painful death as a result of that.
Enjoy your C6 Yelan, one of the most busted C6 character ever!
@@FurinaPininfarina and nobody needs past C0 ever is the kicker!
I dont know whats was going on when you were editing this video but it seems you had fun spinning that yelan emote
I won 5 50/50s in a row and 4 were early for characters that I didn't care about getting and now I saved 60 pulls for Yelan (who I wanted) and 82 pulls in I received my C6 Qiqi
The 50/50 finally got you
☠️
That’s genshin for you. 😂
Sounds like me on the last banner going for c2 yaoyao least i got her.
I watched all of your videos about Yelan and used the combo you guide like BTB Q E N...
but now I got yelan and her weapon. why not what this again too. hehe. i love your videos
I got pretty lucky with this banner...at first I was happy to get an early pity 5 star at 50 pulls, since that rarely happens for me, but then I lost the 50/50 to Diluc...so while i was internally groaning, I got an even earlier pity with only 30 pulls and I got Yelan. I also managed to get her signature weapon in only 60 pulls. Overall, 140 wishes for 3 5 stars, pretty happy with the outcome
*edit* lol... so after some debating, i've decided to go for C2 Yelan.. not really sure if I can call this lucky or not, but here is how my pulls went from the start
64th pull - lost the 50/50 to Diluc
32nd pull - Yelan
5th pull - lost the 50/50 to Mona
68th pull - Yelan - C1
7th pull - lost the 50/50 to Qiqi
24th pull - Yelan - C2
56th pull - Aqua Simulacra
total pulls - 260 pulls ( I didn't do single pulls, the odd numbers for the 5 stars were what it would have been if I did single pulls)
so... 260 pulls for 7 - 5 Stars.. an average of 37 pulls per 5 star... but I did lose all 3 50/50s.... so I dunno...I feel like its lucky and at the same time not...lol
Thanks for this video after a year I finally was lucky yesterday under 180 pulls I was able to secure hu tao yelan and aqua I hope you guys will also get lucky
In 180 pulls?! It took me 193 for the same except for hutao I got tighnari
@@Sofia8687 yes I was unlucky for past few banners so I'm quite happy from these stats I'm now saving for kazuha Or ganyu I hope you get the characters you want too
She fits in most team comp. Glad I had her early during V2.7. Great character in account.
I pulled her when she came out, pulled her C1 now. Zero regret.
I just have eyes for that spinning Yelan
I just got her c4 yesterday. I noticed that it actually stacks. Considering you have 2 charges, 2 stacks are guaranteed even in bossfights
Yes... he said 20% increase in a boss fight, which is 2 stacks
Yelan is so much fun to use, got her ever since her 1st release, and now just got 2 of her weapon but Gonna save the other one since im not a whale 🤣
Yelan is the only character that i encountered where i want to c6 her. Shame i dont have the money to but i plan to slowly build her up to c6, i have to start with the aqua simulacra 1st. See you in ??? years when i finally c6+aqua simulacra her!
If you want some confidence, I got her to c1 during her first run and have been saving for her rerun since. I got her to c4 with the saved primos and thats with me losing back to back 50/50s so I could have had a c6 without spending if I had the luck.
Guys, don't forget that E + fav passive is usually enough to burst
I burst off cooldown with fav bow and it's amazing
Was a c0 yelan haver, just got her c1 today and holy that double E really eliminate that energy recharge requirement for her burst
Currently c2 with 30 pity in, will be saving up for that c6 ehe
Been saving for a while, couldn't wait to pull for her. And when I pulled guess who showed up? Bunny Tigrassri 😩 oh well, see you on the next rerun Yelan
I'm torn C2 Skyward Harp or C5 Favonius Warbow. Running 4 piece Emblem. Have no issues with ER or Crit Rate. I have a God tier set. All opinions and suggestions welcome!
R2 or R5** C stands for Constellation. R stands for Refinement. And the skyward harp is better if you can manage the ER requirement
oh my god thank you so much!!
How good is Elegy for the End team damage wise? I heard it is her best in slot at a few teams and particulary good at bloom teams.
16:50 I also went with that team and I called it KokoMaChinGun Sadly I discovered that Mona is a bit better but still a super fun team 100% recommended
Oh, I’m guaranteed Yelans C4 n didn’t think about the boost for Nilou, damn, Kokomi (or Baizhu), Nilou, Yelan and Nahida gonna be even better. Def will go for C4 😍🙏🏻
I have been saving for quite a while and I got C1 alhaitham, a yelan, two Homas and an Aqua Simulacra in 270 pulls
I feel like elegy can be her best weapon depending on your team and her artifacts but her weapon is also good for anyone
true I also did her ARTS severed fate instead of HP boost Arts since her ER requirement is too much, and also increases her ER much faster
I got C2 first re-run with saved primos , got her weapon with the first 10 pull , and then since no character interesting to me came out until now I saved 320+ wishes and used them and got her C6 :D , I use her on a Mona C6 , Yelan C6 , Hu Tao C1 , Diona C6 Team, very functional in a lot of situations

TH-cam's gotta kinda mess up
Thank you for the guide!
I'm so glad I got her, unfortunately I'm gonna have to stop for now but as you said C1 is so worth it, so I guess I'll try to get it next time. 🙏
It's insane that we get such a powerful and flexible unit as Yelan, and the set that fits her the best is ESF, mine has 10% less than my Shogun, so at C0 no energy problems. 😂
nice video like always. there is just one thing thats funny. idk why its saying that her E is max 3 sec long when its acually 4 sec. i stopped time and its 4 all the time. so it would be acually 8 sec straight running through the overworld XD
Please make an updated hu tao ultimate guide with her new weapons and new possible team comps
I watched your video so many times and I saw all the charts still I've a question. For my C0 Yelan who'll just be working as Xingqiu substitute as a burst character, which weapon should I use? As per your chart recurve has higher damage than favonius or sacrificial. That's the 3 weapon I'm considering. I don't have any 5 star weapons. Any response will be highly appreciated. Thank you
My friend: Hey so now you have yelan what team you going to build
Me: TOO MANY FUCKING OPTIONS
we all now know for sure who IWinToLose’s favourite character is
As someone who is stuck between going for yelan and homa
I have a lot of farming to do ;-;
I like her in a hyperbloom team alongside Nahida, EM Raiden, and Xq. It's cracked lmao
Yelan isnt just one of the best characters in the game her kit is also one of the best designed ones. other characters didnt get that much love from hoyo devs (kokomi and yoimiya for example)
My Cyno crying in the corner lmao
man... talk about redundant
Yoimiya is actually one of the stronger characters. She got a bad impression due to her state on release and those initial videos coloured all subsequent opinion of her.
Much of her early review centered around her being able to vape most of Xingqui's rainswords which was the team at the time.
With Yunjin her damage is actually significantly higher than a vape team. She's competitive. At least A tier.
Kokomi on the other hand. Literally could be replaced by any hydro healer who applies even a slight amount of hydro (which apparently Barbara can't do so she loses). The bar is incredibly low.
Cyno is another ehhh character. Why does he have a 15 second ult???? Or was it 18 seconds? I don't remember, it's just too long. It's not super strong like having Raiden ult for 15 seconds. It's like a weaker ult for a longer duration, you want that right? Do you want a weaker but longer ult so you can outlast your Bennet ult? Mihoyo thought this was a good idea.
Eula is also terrible. Other than the C6 damage memes I regret Eula so much. Most bosses do not have 7 second openings for you to even land her ult (closer to 9 seconds if you include animation). But Mika is coming so maybe she would be rounded out but I'm still hating on the backloaded ult.
@@SourDonut99 I agree with you but I was mostly commenting on her kit design which I find to be fairly bad. Yoimyia has a burst that isnt only bad it also doesnt wanna be used because her best artifact set sacrifices energy... bad design if you ask me
kokomi burst is only really used to refresh the jellyfish but if you happen to miss the timing which happens alot since there is no HUD info for durations of skills and buffs you just wasted the burst which is really bad design. also -100% crit for 25% healing bonus is a complete insult especially since its a passive which should only really be a net postive.
@@SourDonut99this comment DID NOT age well😭😭😭
Thank you for the guide IWTL! I was wondering what would be a sweetspot for ER requirements for Yelan on a double Hydro team with a favonius weapon on one of the other characters? I'm trying to maximize my rotations as well as Yelan's damage.
I'd go for 140-160 assuming multitarget. Im assuming your xingqiu is on sac. Aim for the higher end
@@Coronavirus-bb1rs Thank you for your response! I was actually thinking of running her with Nilou on a bloom team so that I can run Xingqiu on a National/International team. I actually put favonius lance on Yaoyao and paired her with Nahida for double Hydro and Dendro resonance. Would 140 ER still be the minimum I can build her with or should I still aim for more? In that regard, if I can reach the minimum ER requirement, is it safe to run the 2pc Tenacity and HoD instead of the 4pc Emblem? Thank you in advance for your response. I just got Yelan and I'm still studying how to maximize her potential in her team. :)

I realized I never made a full Yelan guide back in the day so here it is! I go over her weapons, artifacts, talents, teams, constellations, and even provide a quick showcase at the end.
Now with dendro element being added to the game, triggering vaporize is much easier than ever, and Yelan becomes much more broken hahaha.
