Yelan

Yelan is a top-tier off-field Hydro applicator. Her Skill builds Breakthrough barbs for ramping damage, and her Burst rains coordinated Hydro hits whose damage scales off her max HP while raising the on-field character's damage. She applies steady off-field Hydro for reactions with low field time.

How to Play

Pair her with on-field carries like Hu Tao for constant Vaporize, similar to Xingqiu. She is a premier off-field support on the Genshin tier list.
