Yelan Artifacts Desc
For Yelan, attack stats don’t matter much, so your main focus should be on HP, damage bonuses, energy recharge, and critical hits. Here, we’ve suggested some artifacts that are best for Yelan. The top artifact for Yelan is the Emblem of Severed Fate, which boosts energy recharge and also increases Elemental Burst damage. It’s especially useful if you’re building a hydro team, making it 100% effective for that purpose.
When focusing on HP and energy recharge for playstyle, the best option is to go with a combination of 2-piece Emblem of Severed Fate and 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith. However, for those looking to optimize for damage bonuses, you can alternatively choose 2-piece Heart of Depth as a substitute for Emblem of Severed Fate.
If you’re level 45 or higher, in that case, you can consider using 2-piece The Exile and 2-piece Scholar for Yelan. This combination will increase energy recharge, benefiting Yelan and also helping regenerate Elemental Burst for all party members.
Yelan Weapons Desc
Elegy for the End is one of the best bow weapons for Yelan as it greatly aids in energy recharge. For a similar 4-star weapon with the same stats, the best option is Favonius Warbow. You can acquire the Favonius Warbow early in the game by completing quests, making it easier to obtain compared to other weapons in this list.
Aqua Simulacra is a signature weapon for Yelan, featuring a high CRIT DMG of 88.2% along with additional damage bonuses. When comparing it to Elegy for the End, both weapons are excellent choices but cater to different playstyles depending on the player’s preference.

Switch to Yelan
Repeat Again
If you’re starting a battle with Yelan, begin by using her Elemental Skill to gather energy. Afterward, activate her Elemental Burst to maximize damage output, then switch to your main DPS character to deal damage to enemies. Once you’ve inflicted damage with your main DPS, switch back to Yelan and initiate normal attacks. Repeat this cycle consistently throughout the battle to effectively manage energy, maximize damage from Yelan’s abilities, and leverage your main DPS character’s strengths. Switch to DPS
Continue cycling through these steps: Elemental Skill → Elemental Burst → Switch to DPS → Normal Attacks.
Yelan Overview
Yelan is a 5-star Hydro element character who wields a bow and excels at attacking enemies while providing substantial support to her party members. Her main ability lies in dealing significant damage to enemies while simultaneously supporting her team.
Yelan excels in both dealing high damage potential and providing damage buffs, thanks to her unique basic attacks and charged attack capabilities with the special effect “Breakthrough Barb.” This allows her to shoot arrows at enemies, immediately dealing AoE Hydro DMG. When switching to Yelan, if you can swiftly execute her charged attack, it delivers significant Hydro DMG. Her Elemental Skill is particularly noteworthy for its super-cool ability to temporarily turn invisible, swiftly dealing Hydro DMG to enemies.
Yelan’s Elemental Burst, Depth-Clarion Dice, deals Hydro DMG upon activation. Additionally, her passive ability is quite impressive as it maximizes her HP and boosts the damage of on-field characters, making her an excellent support character.
