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
║ 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 Yelan's 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

--
║ Press
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.
Elemental Burst | Depth-Clarion Dice
║ 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.
Will occur each time Yelan's Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.
Passive 1 |
║ The active character's DMG increases over time while Yelan's Dice are active.
--
Passive 2 |
║ Yelan's Max HP increases based on the number of Elemental Types that are present in the party.
--
Utility Passive |
║ Yelan gains increased rewards when dispatched on a Liyue Expedition for 20 hours.
Artifact Main Stats
║ Sands : HP
║ Goblet : Hydro DMG
║ Circlet : CRIT
*Yelan's kit scales on her HP, so it would be better to use HP instead of ATK here
Artifact Sub Stats
║ Crit DMG
║ Crit Rate
║ HP
║ ER
*ATK is apparently useless for the damage scaling (unless you want to use her normal attack and charged attack, then consider investing ATK)
Artifact Sets Recommendation
║ 4 set Emblem of Severed Fate
║ * 2 set Emblem of Severed Fate + 2 set Noblesse Oblige
║ * 2 set Emblem of Severed Fate + 2 set Tenacity of the Millelith
*Either go for Millelith or Noblesse
║ 2 set Heart of Depth + 2 set Tenacity of the Millelith
║ 2 set +18% ATK / 2 set Emblem of Severed Fate / 2 set Noblesse Oblige / 2 set Heart of Depth
Attributes Requirement
║ ER
Yelan's burst are her main source of damage here.
As her main BiS bow doesn't have ER substats, 160% - 200% ER are the safer spot here
*But if you use double hydro in your team, even 140% ER is already enough
If you have C1 Yelan, 140% ER is already enough
If you used 4 set Emblem artifact, the higher your ER is, the better the damage for the burst too
║ HP
Yelan's damage scales on HP, and her passive talent also boost HP up to 30%.
For the HP, if you can reach above 30k HP, I think you gonna have a good time with your Yelan
*Disclaimer: this one is based on heavy speculation, I'll edit this part after a thorough testing and review from majority of theory crafters too
║ Crit Ratio
Same rules applies here, go for 1:2 ratio, 50 : 100 (CR : CDMG) is the safe spot here
║ ATK
Based on her kit, HP would be the higher priority compared to ATK here
Her normal attack - skill - burst scales on HP, so ATK won't give an impact here
Best In Slot Weapon
Aqua Simulacra
『ATK = 542 | CDMG = 88.2%』
『HP is increased by 16%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether the character is on-field or not.』
Recommended Weapon
Elegy for the End
『ATK = 608 | ER = 55.1%』
『A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.』
Fading Twilight
『ATK = 565 | ER = 30.6%』

『Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG increased by 12%. After a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst hits an opponent, 1 stack of Ashen Nightstar will be gained for 12s. When 1/2/3/4 stacks of Ashen Nightstar are present, ATK is increased by 10/20/30/48%. The stack of Ashen Nightstar created by the Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst will be counted independently of the others.』

『Increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG by 24%.』
How To Choose Your Weapon
║ Prioritize ER
Yelan's kit heavily scales on HP, from her normal attack - E skill - and Burst.
So ATK base won't impact for Yelan's damage outcome.
It would be better to go for ER substats here like Elegy, Favonius or Sacrificial.
If ER is not a problem, you can then use other weapon that have Crit substats like Polar Star, Slingshot or Skyward Harp.
Main DPS Talent Priority
║ Burst
║ Skill
║ Normal Attack
Yelan shines on her elemental burst, so you should prioritize her burst first, then her E skill
Her kit for Charged Shot is also useful, so you need to increase her normal attack too
Sub DPS Talent Priority
║ Burst
║ Skill
As for the sub DPS, you can save the talent book materials and skip the normal attack talent
Constellation 1
║ Lingering Lifeline gains 1 additional charge.
Constellation 2
║ When Exquisite Throw conducts a coordinated attack, it will fire an additional water arrow that will deal 14% of Yelan's Max HP as Hydro DMG. This effect can trigger once every 1.8s
Constellation 4
║ Increases all party members' Max HP by 10% for 25s for every opponent marked by Lifeline when the Lifeline explodes. A maximum increase of 40% Max HP can be attained in this manner
Constellation 6
║ After using Depth-Clarion Dice, Yelan will enter the Mastermind state. In this state, all of Yelan's Normal attack will be special Breakthrough Barbs. These Breakthrough Barbs will have similar abilities to normal ones and the DMG dealt will be considered Charged Attack DMG, dealing 156% of a normal Breakthrough Barb's DMG.
The Mastermind state lasts for 20s and will be cleared after Yelan fires 5 arrows.
C2 is where Yelan will start to show improvement in her overall damage outcome
C6 is where Yelan truly shines. You'll see insane damage when you're able to reach C6 Yelan
(That doesn't mean that Yelan without C6 is useless, she's still amazing, but C6 makes her insanely amazing)
