Perform 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.

Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

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.

Max Duration (Hold): 3 seconds
CD: 10 seconds

Deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an "Exquisite Throw," which aids her in battle.

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.

1) Elegy for the End (ATK: 608 • Energy Recharge: 55.1%)

A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds.
Increases Elemental Mastery by 60~120.
When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field.
When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s.
"Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by 100~200 and increases ATK by 20~40%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s.
Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.
Note: This weapon is to be used only in reaction based comps such as Vape Hu Tao, Yelan's personal damage is lower than other options on this list, but is more beneficial for the team's damage per rotation.

2) Favonius Warbow (ATK: 454 • Energy Recharge: 61.3%)

CRIT hits have a 60~100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12~6s.

3) Aqua Simulacra (ATK: 542 • CRIT DMG: 88.2%)

HP is increased by 16~32%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20~40%. This will take effect whether the character is on-field or not.
Note: Can still perform well at high Energy Recharge as long as your minimum Energy Recharge requirements are met.

4) Sacrificial Bow (ATK: 565 • Energy Recharge: 30.6%)

After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40~80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30~16s.
Note: This ideally needs to be at refinement [R3-R5] to function properly in most Yelan teams rotations without desyncing the rotation and extending her field time.

5) Silvershower Heartstrings (ATK: 542 • HP: 66.2%)

The equipping character can gain the Remedy effect. When they possess 1/2/3 Remedy stacks, Max HP will increase by 12%/24%/40%~24%/48%/80%. 1 stack may be gained when the following conditions are met: 1 stack for 25s when using an Elemental Skill; 1 stack for 25s when the value of a Bond of Life value increases; 1 stack for 20s for performing healing. Stacks can still be triggered when the equipping character is not on the field. Each stack's duration is counted independently. In addition, when 3 stacks are active, Elemental Burst CRIT Rate will be increased by 28%~56%. This effect will be canceled 4s after falling under 3 stacks.

6) Mouun's Moon (ATK: 565 • ATK 27.6%)

For every point of the entire party's combined maximum Energy capacity, the Elemental Burst DMG of the character equipping this weapon is increased by 0.12~0.24%. A maximum of 40~80% increased Elemental Burst DMG can be achieved this way.
Note: This weapon works best at [R3+] and makes HP% Goblet potentially a stronger option instead of Hydro Bonus especially in comps with strong DMG% buffs.

7) Hunter's Path (ATK: 542 • CRIT Rate: 44.1%)

Gain 12~24% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain the Tireless Hunt effect after hitting an opponent with a Charged Attack. This effect increases Charged Attack DMG by 160~320% of Elemental Mastery. This effect will be removed after 12 Charged Attacks or 10s. Only 1 instance of Tireless Hunt can be gained every 12s.
Hunter's Path / Polar Star / Thundering Pulse / Skyward Harp: These weapons are stronger than Slingshot, however, Yelan does not utilize them optimally. If you have another character that benefits from these weapons, it's recommended to prioritize these weapons on them, since these weapons are very small upgrades over Slingshot. It is not recommended to pull these weapons for Yelan specifically.

8) Fading Twilight (ATK: 565 • Energy Recharge: 30.6%)

Has three states, Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase DMG dealt by 6%/10%/14%~12%/20%/28% respectively. When attacks hit opponents, this weapon will switch to the next state. This weapon can change states once every 7s. The character equipping this weapon can still trigger the state switch while not on the field.

9) Recurve Bow (ATK: 354 • HP: 46.9%)

Defeating an opponent restores 8~16% HP.

1) Emblem of Severed Fate

2 Piece: Energy Recharge +20%
4 Piece: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.

2) Emblem of Severed Fate (2) / Tenacity of the Millelith (2) / +15% Hydro DMG set (2) / Noblesse Oblige (2) [Choose Two]
