Weapons
Energy Recharge
Provides high ER and a teamwide ATK% + Elemental Mastery buff after using the Skill/Burst. Excellent for supporting reactions like Vaporize while maintaining personal energy.
Energy Recharge
ER substat and orbs generated on CRIT help charge the expensive Burst much faster. Practical, team-supportive pick that speeds up rotations for the whole party.
CRIT DMG
High CRIT DMG and an unconditional damage bonus. Lacks ER, so only use if substats already meet the ER threshold. Maximizes personal off-field DPS.
Energy Recharge
Has an ER substat and can reset the Skill, letting you generate extra energy particles and trigger more off-field damage with less downtime.
Artifacts
Running a second Emblem piece completes the 4pc set—further boosting Burst damage by up to 75% at 300% ER. Absolutely core for this playstyle.

4pc grants up to 36% CRIT Rate when HP changes. If the character self-damages or heals, this set lets you stack CRIT easily, but it lacks ER so build ER elsewhere.

Recommended Primary Stats
Yelan serves as an off-field Hydro DPS, enabling reactions through consistent elemental application. Her Elemental Burst requires Normal Attacks to trigger, much like Xingqiu.
Weapon choices:
Hunter’s Path / Polar Star / Thundering Pulse / Skyward Harp – slightly outperform Slingshot but ignore Base ATK and have suboptimal passives. Don’t pull these for her if other characters benefit more.
Elegy for the End – weak for personal damage; use only in teams that utilize its buff well.
Mouun’s Moon – best at [R3+]; HP% goblet can beat Hydro DMG% in teams with heavy DMG% buffing.
Sacrificial Bow – needs [R3–R5] to avoid rotation desync and extended field time.
Aqua Simulacra – still best personal damage even at high Energy Recharge requirements, but may be impractical without an ER weapon.
Artifact sets & main stats:
Marechaussee Hunter (4) – only for on-field Yelan with Furina; strongest set in that case.
Goblet: Hydro DMG% by default. HP% goblet can be competitive in teams with high DMG% buffing or weapons.
Never run more than 2 HP% main stat artifacts.
Talent priority:
Normal Attack – level only if you frequently use Breakthrough Barbs.
