Yelan build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Silvershower Heartstrings is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Yelan's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. The Daybreak Chronicles, Sequence of Solitude and Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Yelan, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Heart of Depth on Yelan, with Nymph's Dream and Tenacity of the Millelith behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, Hydro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > HP% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

The strongest team is Yelan, Furina, Kaedehara Kazuha and Sigewinne, built around Yelan: Anemo · Mono Hydro.

Yelan FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Yelan scale on?

Yelan's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Yelan?

Silvershower Heartstrings is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star bow with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Sequence of Solitude is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Yelan use?

Heart of Depth. Its 2-piece bonus is: Hydro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.
