Very few characters in Genshin Impact have managed to win the hearts of the community as quickly as Yelan, the game's new 5-star Hydro Archer, a feat she's managed to accomplish not only through her personality, design, and lore, but also through her ensemble, which focuses on damage-dealing ability important, while generating and allowing reactions . But can Yelan work well in an F2P version? To answer that and more, here's a build from Yelan F2P that's sure to show why she's considered a living legend by many.
Is Yelan F2P friendly?
Surprisingly, Yelan can be considered an extremely F2P friendly character, given that she can play her role very well without the need for 4 and 5 star banner exclusive weapons. That said, in an F2P build, she'll still be able to deal massive elemental skill damage, but her elemental burst will suffer, as you won't have access to the increased damage offered by her top 5 and 4 star weapon choices. , Aqua Simulacra and Mouun's Moon (R5).
Best F2P Weapons for Yelan
Taking into account that this build will only feature F2P weapons and gear, our main recommendations will be the use of either the Favonius Warbow 4-Star Bow or the Fading Twilight Event-Exclusive 4-Star Bow, as both will offer a great Energy Recharge offer and are available for free to all players. Of the two weapons, we recommend using the Fading Twilight bow at maximum refinement, as the weapon will also periodically increase its overall elemental damage.
Recommended artifacts
With the exception of his weapon of choice, this build will be identical to the current version of the Yelan meta and will use a Set of 4 emblems of broken fate. The set is ideal for Yelan, as it not only provides a large boost to Energy Recharge (20%), but also offers a huge boost to his elemental damage. Now, taking into account that our recommended weapons will give him both a fair share of energy recharge, as well as the fact that all of Yelan's skills scale to his overall HP, here are our top recommended stats for his artifact pieces:
- Flower of Life: HP%
- feather of death: AT %
- Sands of Eon: HP%
- Cup of Eonothem: Bonus Hydro Damage
- Tiara of Logos: Critical damage.
What talents to focus on
Talent-wise, as Yelan is a character whose primary role in a comp will be as an attacking support, unless you have him in C6, we recommend focusing on building his Elemental Burst, Depth- Clarion Dice, then moving your focus on both his normal/charged attacks, which can also deal high damage thanks to his breakthrough mechanic, as well as his elemental skill, Lingering Lifeline, which can not only generate a wide array of particles but, as we said above, deal massive damage.
Genshin impact is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and mobile devices – Android and iOS.
