Genshin Impact Yelan abilities
- Normal Attack: Yelan is able to do four bow shots rapidly.
- Charged Attack: This is like an accuracy shot. When Yelan prepares for this shot, water will form a shape all around the arrow. When the arrow is fully charged, it will do Hydro damage to the enemy. On top of this, Yelan goes into a “Breakthrough” state whenever she spends 5 seconds off-field. This makes the next Charged Aimed Shot have an 80% decreased charge time. When it’s charged, she fires a “Breakthrough Barb” that will do AoE Hydro damage on the basis of her max HP.
- Plunging Attack: Yelan can release a volley of arrows when airborne in a jump. When she touches the ground, she causes AoE damage upon contact.
Genshin Impact Yelan Elemental Skill – Lingering Lifeline
Yelan lets off a Lifeline that’ll tractor her in fast, and catch and mark opponents in its path. When she stops moving that fast, the Lifeline explodes while doing Hydro damage to the marked targets based on Yelan’s max HP.
When this is going on, she controls the sprint direction and she stops the fast movement by using the Skill again. In addition, every opponent tagged by the Lifeline when exploding gives her a 34% more chance to get Breakthrough. Wrongdoers don’t realize that they are trapped until she starts to pull on the strings.
