The Best Weapons for Yelan in Genshin Impact

Xingqiu is now one of the most popular characters in the Genshin Impact community. As a result, when it is announced that a 5-Star version of him would be released, admirers anxiously await her. Even if Yelan ends up being on par with the Guhua Disciple, most people are just relieved that the Spiral Abyss now has two Xingqiu.

Now that Yelan has been launched in Genshin Impact, players must equip her with the appropriate weapon in order for her to live up to her status as the 5-Star Xingqiu. Here are some of the greatest weapons for Yelan in Genshin Impact to help her maximize her potential.

Yelan had her first repeat in version 3.4, about a year after her first release. Because HoYoverse shows both Yelan and Hu Tao at the same time, the repeat was highly thrilling. Of course, it comes as no surprise that there are several new weaponry in the game after months of development. Among them, there is one bow that is ideal for the 5-star Xingqiu. Aside from that, this list has been updated to include more potential weapons for Yelan in Genshin Impact, such as the F2P bow, Fading Twilight.

Fading Twilight

• Primary Stat
  : 565 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 30.6% Energy Recharge
• R5 Effect
  : Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze are three states that boost DMG delivered by 12%/20%/28%, respectively. When an attack hits an opponent, this weapon will transition to the next stage. This weapon can change statuses every 7 seconds. When not on the field, the character wielding this weapon can still activate the status switch.

Fading Twilight is a weapon obtained through an event in Genshin Impact 2.7, therefore players who missed the event will not be able to receive it. This F2P weapon is one of Yelan’s most cheap. Although its passive fluctuates, the Energy Recharge sub-stat, along with the damage bonus, ensures that this bow is worthwhile to use.

Viridescent Hunt

• Primary Stat
  : 510 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 27.6% CRIT Rate
• Effect
  : Normal and Charged Attacks have a 50% chance of generating a Cyclone, which attracts nearby opponents and deals 40% of ATK as DMG to them every 0.5s for 4s. This effect can happen just once every 14s.

The Crit Rate sub-stat of Viridescent Hunt is excellent. Players that use Yelan’s Breakthrough State can also benefit from its passive, which causes a Cyclone to arise and do damage while also controlling the enemy.

Mouun’s Moon

• Primary Stat
  : 565 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 27.6% ATK
• Effect
  : The Elemental Burst DMG of the character wielding this weapon increases by 0.12% for every point of the whole party’s total maximum Energy capacity. This method can improve Elemental Burst DMG by up to 40%.

Mouun’s Moon is rather conditional for Yelan, yet it may be her finest 4-Star weapon in certain situations. On Refinement Rank 1 (R1), this Bow may enhance Elemental Burst DMG by up to 40%, and up to 80% on maximum refining (R5). To make R5 Mouun’s Moon Yelan’s greatest 4-Star weapon, players must bring Energy-demanding characters to optimize the Passive. It is very advised to utilize this if Genshin Impact Raiden Shogun is on the squad.

Recurve Bow

• Primary Stat
  : 354 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 46.9% HP
• R5 Effect
  : Defeating an opponent restores 16% HP.

In Genshin Impact, the Recurve Bow is a 3-Star weapon. It has a very low base ATK, but thankfully for Yelan, he doesn’t need it. Instead, this weapon boosts Yelan’s Health, which is essential for her DMG dealing. This choice is ideal for inexperienced players, but veterans should stick to the 4-Star alternatives to preserve resources.

Sacrificial Bow

• Primary Stat
  : 565 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 30.6% Energy Recharge
• Effect
  : When the user uses an Elemental Skill to inflict damage on an opponent, that talent has a 40% chance of ending its own cooldown. This can happen just once every 30 seconds.

It’s no surprise that Yelan likes Sacrificial, one of the greatest weapon series in Genshin Impact. In general, Sacrificial Bow will not perform as well as Favonius Warbow, but it will still give the necessary benefits for her, such as the Energy Recharge sub-stat and the cooldown reset Passive.

Elegy for the End

• Primary Stat
  : 608 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 55.1% Energy Recharge
• Effect
  : Elemental Mastery grows by 60. Get one stack every 0.2s when the wielder’s Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts hit opponents. Once four stacks are depleted, all adjacent party members will receive a 12-second bonus. The buff boosts Elemental Mastery by 100 and ATK by 20%. You will not earn stacks for 20 seconds after this effect is triggered. This effect can be triggered even if the specified character is not present on the field.

Elegy for the End is fantastic since its Energy Recharge sub-stat will let Yelan quickly replenish her Burst. She can also easily use its passive, which offers the entire team an ATK and Elemental Mastery benefit. This effect is amplified when players play Hu Tao with Yelan.

Thundering Pulse

• Primary Stat
  : 608 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 66.2% CRIT DMG
• Effect
  : +40% ATK. In each of the following circumstances, gain one stack: Normal Attack delivers DMG (stack lasts 5 seconds), Elemental Skill (stack lasts 10 seconds); Energy is less than 100%. (stack disappears when Energy is full). The time of each stack is computed individually. Increases Normal Attack DMG by 24/48/80% at stack levels 1/2/3.

Although Thundering Pulse is fantastic on many Bow characters, it falls short of Favonius Warbow for Yelan. The weapon’s Passive provides ATK and Normal Attack DMG enhancements, although Yelan benefits from neither. As a result, Thundering Pulse is essentially simply a stat stick to boost Yelan’s CRIT DMG.

Favonius Warbow

• Primary Stat
  : 454 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 61.3% Energy Recharge
• Effect
  : CRIT hits have a 60% chance of generating a few Elemental Particles, regenerating 6 Energy for the character. This can only happen once every 12 seconds.

Favonius Warbow, believe it or not, outperforms Skyward Harp and Polar Star for Yelan. It has a very low base ATK, but because Yelan scales with HP, this is largely unimportant to her. Since that Yelan’s DMG will mostly come from her Elemental Burst, making sure it’s constantly accessible should be a primary focus. Other Genshin Impact weapons may require the usage of Energy Recharge Artifacts, but with the Favonius Warbow, Yelan may entirely focus on offensive numbers like as HP and CRIT.

Skyward Harp

• Primary Stat
  : 674 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 22.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect
  : CRIT DMG is increased by 20%. This bow’s hits have a 60% chance of inflicting a small AoE attack that does 125% Physical ATK damage. This can happen just once every 4 seconds and will not happen if the wielder is off-field.

Soaring Harp is without a doubt one of the greatest Bows in Genshin Impact, since it can benefit most Bow characters. Yelan won’t gain much from Skyward Harp’s high base ATK, but its CRIT Rate sub-stat and CRIT DMG Passive are still useful.

Polar Star

• Primary Stat
  : 608 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 33.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect
  : Elemental Skill and Burst Damage are both increased by 12%. After hitting an opponent with a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst, the player earns one stack of the weapon’s bonus for 12 seconds. When there are 1/2/3/4 stacks, ATK increases by 10/20/30/48%.

Because Yelan is a Sub-DPS, Polar Star’s Passive, which boosts Elemental Skill and Burst DMG, is ideal for her. Unfortunately, Yelan, like Thundering Pulse, will be unable to benefit from the remainder of its Passive.

Hunter’s Path

• Primary Stat
  : 542 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 44.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect
  : Get a 12% bonus to all elemental DMG. After striking an opponent with a Charged Attack, you will gain the Tireless Hunt effect. Charged Attack DMG is increased by 160% of Elemental Mastery. After 12 Charged Attacks or 10 seconds, this effect will be erased. Every 12s, only one occurrence of Tireless Hunt may be obtained.

Hunter’s Path’s low base ATK has no effect on her because she is completely reliant on HP. Instead, she’ll massively profit from the bow’s huge Crit Rate stat and passive Elemental DMG increase.

Aqua Simulacra

• Primary Stat
  : 542 ATK
• Secondary Stat
  : 88.2% CRIT DMG
• Effect
  : +16% HP. Increase DMG by 20% when there are opponents nearby, even if the wielder is off-field.

In Genshin Impact, Yelan’s greatest weapon is Aqua Simulacra. It has a low base ATK but a high secondary stat to compensate. This equipment is known as the “Staff of Homa for Bows” at the moment. This is due to the fact that the Passive that offers DMG boost may be activated with almost no circumstances, enabling any Bow user to completely profit from it.

Genshin Impact is now available on mobile, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Switch version is in the works.
