5 weapons you can use on Yelan

Yelan is an incredible character who can dish out insane amounts of damage while being an amazing support. However, since her damage comes purely out of HP, ATK is useless on her, making it difficult to choose a weapon for her.

This article will help you choose a weapon for Yelan while still dealing damage.

Things to look out for

To help deal the maximum amount of damage with Yelan, you need to look out for the following:

Energy Recharge This is the primary stat to look out for while playing Yelan. Without her burst, Yelan can not be utilized fully. But with energy recharge, she can use her burst immediately after cooldown.
HP This stat is what helps Yelan deal damage to the enemies. While most other characters rely on ATK, Yelan relies on HP.
Crit Rate/DMG Although Yelan is a support, she still deals incredible amounts of damage. Because of this, it is important to keep her Crit Rate and Crit DMG Balanced.
Team Enhancing While this isn’t necessary, it is always good for a support to have more ways to buff your team in addition to their normal methods.

Weapons

These are the weapons that meet one or more of the criteria given above:

Aqua Simulacra

This is Yelan’s Signature weapon. Out of the four criteria, the Aqua Simulacra covers both Crit DMG and HP. This weapon helps maximize Yelan’s personal damage. It also buffs her further by giving her a 20% damage bonus when enemies are nearby at r1.

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base ATK	542
Secondary Stat	CRIT DMG
Value	88.2%
Passive	HP is increased by 16%. When there are opponents nearby, the DMG dealt by the wielder of this weapon is increased by 20%. This will take effect whether the character is on-field or not.

Elegy of the End

In addition to providing Energy Recharge, Elegy of the End also provides you with Elemental Mastery. It also buffs your entire team by giving them tons of Elemental Mastery and ATK.

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base ATK	608
Secondary Stat	Energy Recharge
Value	55.1%
Passive	A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by 100 and increases ATK by 20%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.

Favonius Warbow

This weapon gives incredible amounts of Energy Recharge to you character and your team, making it possible for you to run a team that gets energy fed to it. You can trigger it off-field as well, making it even more convenient to use.

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base ATK	454
Secondary Stat	Energy Recharge
Value	61.3%
Passive	CRIT hits have a 60% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12s.

Sacrificial Bow

In addition to providing Energy Recharge, this bow also lets you use your elemental skill twice, making it an incredible choice for Yelan. However, this weapon has a significantly lesser amount of Energy Recharge, so use it only if you don’t have enough refinements on Favonius Bow or if you like using her elemental skill a lot.

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base ATK	565
Secondary Stat	Energy Recharge
Value	30.6%
Passive	After dealing damage to an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30s.

Fading Twilight

This is an event weapon, and is unavailable if you weren’t around for the event. However, if you do have this weapon, Yelan can benefit from it thanks to the energy recharge stat it provides along with the amazing damage boost, especially at higher refinements. It also looks quite pleasing on Yelan.

Rating	⭐⭐⭐⭐
Base ATK	565
Secondary Stat	Energy Recharge
Value	30.6%
Passive	Has three states, Evengleam, Afterglow, and Dawnblaze, which increase DMG dealt by 6%/10%/14% respectively. When attacks hit opponents, this weapon will switch to the next state. This weapon can change states once every 7s. The character equipping this weapon can still trigger the state switch while not on the field.
