When Genshin Impact 2.6 introduced The Chasm, players quickly took to exploring this expansive new area to the west of Liyue. During their adventures, many have already bumped into a mysterious new addition to the Genshin Impact characters – Yelan. Now, in the bowels of Sumeru, the Yelan banner is set to return.
Originally introduced by HoYoverse as a “mysterious woman who claims to work for the Ministry of Civil Affairs”, Yelan is a Hydro bow user who excels at finding herself at the centre of major events. She’s also one of the top Genshin Impact characters on our Genshin Impact tier list. So be sure to read on to find out more about the Yelan rerun date, her abilities, and more.
Genshin Impact Yelan banner rerun date
The Genshin Impact Yelan rerun date is February 7, 2023. HoYoverse confirmed that she will join Hu Tao on the Genshin Impact 3.4 banners during phase two of the update.
Genshin Impact Yelan abilities
Below you’ll find all of Yelan’s abilities.
Normal Attack: Stealthy Bowshot
- Normal Attack: Perform up to four consecutive shots with a bow
- Charged Attack: 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
- Yelan will enter a ‘Breakthrough’ state after spending five seconds off field, which will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have 80% decreased charge time. 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
Elemental Skill: Lingering Lifeline
- Fires off a Lifeline that allows Yelan to move rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path. When her 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 her sprint direction and can end her rapid movement by using the skill again. Additionally, each opponent marked by the Lifeline when it explodes grants Yelan a 34% chance to reset her Breakthrough state
Elemental Burst: Depth-Clarion Dice
- Deals AoE Hydro DMG and creates an ‘Exquisite Throw’ which aids Yelan in battle. Exquisite Throw follows the character around and will initiate a coordinated attack, dealing Hydro DMG based on Yelan’s Max HP under the following circumstances:
- Can occur once every second when your active character uses a Normal Attack
- Will occur each time Yelan’s Lifeline explodes and hits opponents
Genhin Impact Yelan passive talents
- Turn Control: When the party has 1/2/3/4 elemental types, Yelan’s Max HP is increased by 6%/12%/18%/30%
- Adapt With Ease: So long as an Exquisite Throw is in play, your own active character deals 1% more DMG. This increases by a further 3.5% DMG every second, up to 50%. Recasting the Depth Clarion Dice while the burst is still in effect will remove the original above effect
- Lengthy Consideration: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Liyue Expedition for 20 hours
Genshin Impact Yelan Constellations
- (C1) Enter the Plotters: Lingering Lifeline gains one additional charge
- (C2) Taking All Comers: 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 1.8 seconds.
- (C3) Beware the Trickster’s Dice: Increases the level of Depth-Clarion Dice by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
- (C4) Bait-and-Switch: 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
- (C5) Dealer’s Sleight: Increases the level of Lingering Lifeline by three. Maximum upgrade level is 15
- (C6) Winner Take All: 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 barbs will have the same abilities as normal ones, and the DMG dealt will be be considered Charged Attack DMG, dealing 156% of a normal Breakthrough Barb’s DMG.
- The Mastermind state lasts 20 seconds, and will be cleared after Yelan fires five arrows
