Lan Yan's shield performs Elemental Absorption when her Skill makes contact with an enemy—absorbing Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo—then gaining increased resistance to that element.

SUPPORT – Lan Yan protects the team with shields and groups enemies using her Skill and Burst. For weapons, Hakushin Ring excels in Electro-based teams by boosting party Electro damage after Swirl. DRIVER – As a driver, she contributes on-field damage through Elemental Mastery-scaling Swirl reactions. This role trades some shield durability for higher personal damage output.
