Yelan
Yelan is one of the most worthwhile sub-DPS in the game, slotting into almost any team that wants off-field Hydro and a damage buff. Just cast her burst and swap out, and she still pumps out enormous damage. What matters most is enough Energy Recharge (~170-200%) to burst every rotation, then push HP and CRIT. If you don't have Aqua Simulacra, the 4-star Favonius Warbow recharges and batteries the team, which is plenty.

Yelan's talents
Stealthy Bowshot
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs 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.
Lingering Lifeline
When this rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP.
Tap
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.
Not until she begins to tug on the strings do evildoers, crooks, and scheming villains alike know that there is no escape.
Depth-Clarion Dice
Exquisite Throw
Follows the character around and will initiate a coordinated attack under the following circumstances, dealing Hydro DMG based on Yelan's Max HP:
·Can occur once every second when your active character uses a Normal Attack.
·Will occur each time Yelan's Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.
"A gambling addiction is going to do you no good. I mean, let me just do the math for you as the dealer. What do you think your odds of beating me are, when I have seven dice and you, only one?"
Turn Control
Adapt With Ease
The pre-existing effect will be dispelled if Depth-Clarion Dice is recast during its duration.
Necessary Calculation
Yelan constellations
Lingering Lifeline gains 1 additional charge.
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.
Increases the Level of Depth-Clarion Dice by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
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.
Increases the Level of Lingering Lifeline by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
After using Depth-Clarion Dice, Yelan will enter the Mastermind state.
In this state, all of Yelan's Normal Attacks 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 20s and will be cleared after Yelan fires 5 arrows.
