This Yelan guide shows you how to equip Genshin Impact's character Yelan as an Off-Field DPS, detailing the best weapons and abilities.
Yelan is a five-star Hydro element user and a Bow wielder in Genshin Impact who is widely considered one of, if not the best, Hydro characters in the entire game.
She is somewhat similar to the 4 Star Hydro unit Xingqiu, which is still used widely. But if you have Yelan, you will want to use her over or with him in team composition.That being said, Yelan is a very easy character to use if you're lucky to have her. She is very straightforward to build, and besides being a huge sought-after unit, she is competent even with 3 Star Weapons, making her ironically a possible F2P unit.
If you have Xingqiu, you can team them up with the best Hydro team in the game to counter her only real downside, which is a high energy requirement to be utilized. Keep reading our guide, as we go over a detailed Yelan build that covers her abilities while sharing the best weapons and artifacts.
Genshin Impact Yelan Off-Field DPS Build
To build Yelan as an Off-Field DPS, you have to focus on her HP percentage stat. So this means it is very important to level her up to level 90 whilst leveling up her talents as soon as possible.
Usually, for characters in Genshin, that isn't the case, but for Yelan and other HP%-based characters, it is.
What makes Yelan an amazing character is her Elemental Burst skill called Depth-Clarion Dice.
This skill is active even when Yelan isn't the character being controlled. Depth-Clarion Dice activates and helps the active character whenever they use a normal attack.
Basically, this means that no matter what, Yelan will be dealing massive Hydro damage.
Best Weapons For Yelan Off-Field DPS Build In Genshin Impact
When building Yelan as an Off-Field DPS, weapons that increase her HP percentage will be the ones you want to aim for.
- Aqua Simulacra: Holder’s Max HP +16%. When opponents are nearby, wielder DMG% +20%, even when off-field. This is hands down Best in Slot for Yelan because it synergizes well with her being in the shadows.
- Elegy for the End: Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. On Skill or Burst hit, gain a stack, even if off-field. Four stacks grant party 100 EM and 20% ATK for 12s.
- Favonius Warbow: Not only is this one of the best bows for Yelan, but it is also free. Just complete Mondstadt's storyline, and you'll acquire this bad boy. CRIT Hits have a 60-100% chance to generate 6 Energy for the character once every 12-6s.
Best Artifacts For Yelan Off-Field DPS Build In Genshin Impact
When selecting the best artifacts for Yelan, you will want to look into Four Pieces of Emblems of The Severed Fates and then use the other two artifacts to help fill out any potential downsides of the build.
Primary stats for Yelan's artifacts Sands should be HP% or Energy Recharge%.
For the Goblet we want to focus on Hydro DMG% or HP%, and finally, for the Circlet, we want CRIT% or HP%.
It is not recommended to use more than two HP% primary stat artifacts.
For sub-stats the priority goes to Energy Recharge, then Crit and HP%. If you have a CRIT weapon, you will need to focus on having Energy Recharge Artifacts so you can achieve her Burst Rotation.
Best Yelan Team Composition In Genshin Impact

- On Field DPS: Hu Tao
- Shred Support: Sucrose
- Double Hydro Support: Xingqiu
