Lan Yan — Build, Teams & Rating Genshin 6.7

Is Lan Yan worth building?

Lan Yan is one of the most worthwhile 4-star shielders straight at C0: her shield covers the whole team and she swirls, so run 4pc Viridescent Venerer to shred RES for your carry. She fits almost every hypercarry — Neuvillette, Arlecchino or Anemo main DPS. For a thick shield, stack as much ATK as you can (aim for ~3000) and keep enough Energy Recharge. Without a premium weapon, the F2P Favonius Codex restores team energy nicely. Farm a 4pc Viridescent Venerer first.

Lan Yan's talents

Black Pheasant Strides on Water

Normal Attack
Wields her Feathermoon Rings to perform up to 4 attacks, dealing Anemo DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to throw out a Feathermoon Ring, dealing Anemo DMG.

Plunging Attack
Gathers the power of Anemo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.

Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance

Summoning forth the Swallow-Wisp Shield, a secret art passed down across generations, Lan Yan dashes forward and, upon making contact with her target, will leap back into the air.
The Swallow-Wisp Shield's DMG absorption scales based on her ATK, and has a 250% absorption efficiency against Anemo DMG.
While in mid-air due to the effects of her Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance, pressing her Elemental Skill again or pressing Normal Attack will cause Lan Yan to hurl her Feathermoon Rings at an opponent, and they will spin between nearby opponents twice upon hit, dealing Anemo DMG.
Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.

Hold
Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the dash direction.

"The clouds cut the lunar light, like shadows silver gracing one's sight."

Lustrous Moonrise

Lan Yan creates a Feathermoon Swallow Array, pulling in nearby opponents and objects and dealing multiple instances of AoE Anemo DMG.

Strictly speaking, with only Lan Yan herself present, it cannot properly be called an "array." However, if her Rattan Figures are brought into the picture, she can sort of fulfill the requirements... Probably.

Four Sealing Divination Charms

When the dash from the Elemental Skill Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance hits a target, if it interacts with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, the Swallow-Wisp Shield will undergo Elemental Absorption, with the converted shield absorbing DMG from the corresponding element with 250% efficiency.
Additionally, if this use of Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance causes the Swallow-Wisp Shield to undergo Elemental Absorption, the Feathermoon Rings that Lan Yan throws at her foes additionally deal Elemental DMG equal to 50% of the original in the corresponding Elemental Type. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm

The Elemental Skill Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance and the Elemental Burst Lustrous Moonrise deal increased DMG equal to 309% and 774% of Lan Yan's Elemental Mastery respectively.

Thought and Intent, Like Silken Scent

When Lan Yan is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them.
