Collecting duplicates of Yelan through wishes will allow you to unlock her Constellations, enhancing her abilities further. Below are the Constellation levels:
As a sub-DPS character, Yelan excels when played properly. Use her Elemental Burst frequently and transition to other characters to maximize elemental reactions. A great synergy includes pairing Yelan with characters like Xingqiu, who can provide consistent Hydro application.
Her Elemental Skill is also crucial for tagging enemies and increasing her damage output. Remember that a charged normal attack yields bonuses after Yelan has been off-field for a short duration, allowing you to deal significant damage to enemies.
The ideal team setup for Yelan includes a balance of high DPS and support characters to amplify her damage. Consider pairing her with Dendro characters like Nahida to achieve excellent Bloom and Hyperbloom effects, or combine her with Pyro characters like Hu Tao or Xiangling for great Vaporize damage.
Additionally, ensure you have a character to help Yelan's energy regeneration needs, such as Xingqiu. A recommended team could include Raiden Shogun as a main DPS, which aids in energy recovery and boosts Yelan’s damage.
For artifact sets, the 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate is recommended for maximizing Yelan's Elemental Burst damage, crucial for her effectiveness as a sub-DPS. For a pure DPS focus, consider a 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith and a 2-piece Heart of Depth setup, increasing both HP and Hydro damage.
When it comes to weapons, the Aqua Simulacra bow is her best-in-slot choice. Alternatively, consider Elegy For The End or Polar Star for DPS-oriented builds. For 4-Star options, Fading Twilight, The Stringless, or Favonious Warbow are also solid choices for sustainability.
To take full advantage of Yelan's capabilities, you can implement the following setup:
