Lan Yan's shield can undergo Elemental Absorption, meaning that her shield can absorb Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo and become more resistant to the element it has absorbed.
Lan Yan has to make contact with an enemy upon skill cast for the absorption to take place.
To utilize Lan Yan's Elemental Absorption effectively, consider the following:

Use Lan Yan's skill to absorb elements from enemies and increase her shield's resistance.
Combine Lan Yan's Elemental Absorption with other characters' elemental reactions to create powerful team compositions.

Lan Yan supports her team through shields and grouping.
Regarding Weapon Choices:

Hakushin Ring: This weapon excels when Lan Yan is in an Electro-based team.

Lan Yan can also contribute some of her damage to the team as a driver through her EM scalings. Though it does sacrifice some of her shield strength.

Lan Yan Skills

Normal Attack: Black Pheasant Strides on Water

Normal Attack
Wields her Feathermoon Rings to perform up to 4 attacks, dealing Anemo DMG.

Charged Attack
Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to throw out a Feathermoon Ring, dealing Anemo DMG.

Plunging Attack
Gathers the power of Anemo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo DMG upon impact with the ground.

Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance

"The clouds cut the lunar light, like shadows silver gracing one's sight."

Summoning forth the Swallow-Wisp Shield, a secret art passed down across generations, Lan Yan dashes forward and, upon making contact with her target, will leap back into the air.
The Swallow-Wisp Shield's DMG absorption scales based on her ATK, and has a 250% absorption efficiency against Anemo DMG.
While in mid-air due to the effects of her Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance, pressing her Elemental Skill again or pressing Normal Attack will cause Lan Yan to hurl her Feathermoon Rings at an opponent, and they will spin between nearby opponents twice upon hit, dealing Anemo DMG.
Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.

Hold
Enter Aiming Mode to adjust the dash direction.

Lustrous Moonrise

Strictly speaking, with only Lan Yan herself present, it cannot properly be called an "array." However, if her Rattan Figures are brought into the picture, she can sort of fulfill the requirements... Probably.

Passive Talent

Four Sealing Divination Charms

Ascension Phase 1

When the dash from the Elemental Skill Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance hits a target, if it interacts with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, the Swallow-Wisp Shield will undergo Elemental Absorption, with the converted shield absorbing DMG from the corresponding element with 250% efficiency.
Additionally, if this use of Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance causes the Swallow-Wisp Shield to undergo Elemental Absorption, the Feathermoon Rings that Lan Yan throws at her foes additionally deal Elemental DMG equal to 50% of the original in the corresponding Elemental Type. This DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm

Ascension Phase 4

The Elemental Skill Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance and the Elemental Burst Lustrous Moonrise deal increased DMG equal to 309% and 774% of Lan Yan's Elemental Mastery respectively.
