Character #54

im gonna play tartaglia, xingqiu, yelan, shinobu and I DONT CARE IM GONNA HAVE FUN

Yelan is much better than Xinqiu C6? What? Do not agree? I have C6 Xinqiu, dmg is suck, only become hydro applier, his Artifacts and sword are so busy looking for ER. Which is Yelan using her HP as her dmg and bow can do buff to party, cost just 70, with short CD. 😛

People seems to be confused with why xinqiu’s hydro application is miles ahead of yelan even though both have the same ICD limitation, so let me explain using hutao case.

Xinqiu’s rainsword goes from 2 rainswords to 3 rainswords to 5 rainswords. So, following the standard ICD of 3 hits/2.5s, that’s: (I = hydro application, O = no application)
1st NA: IO + orbital (NA+CA vape)
2nd NA: OIO (CA vape)
3rd NA: OIOOI (CA vape + blossom vape)
4th NA: IO + orbital <= 2.5s refresh (NA+CA vape)
5th NA: OIO (CA vape)
6th NA: OIOOI (CA vape)

With yelan (taken from beta test result) it usually goes like this:
1st NA: IOO (NA+CA vape)
2nd NA: IOO (CA vape)
3rd NA: IOO (CA vape, blossom apply pyro aura)
4th NA: IOO (yelan forward vape, hutao perform 3NA, 1st NA apply pyro aura)
5th NA: IOO (yelan forward vape)
6th NA: IOO (yelan apply hydro, hutao CA vape)

Legends: NA = normal attack, CA = charged attack
3NA = 3 normal attack strings

See the main difference? With xinqiu, hutao can infinitely perform 1NA-CA-jump/dash cancel combo and will reverse vape all of her CA. With yelan, hutao need to do 3x 1NA-CA followed by 3NA-CA then repeat to allow her to reverse vape all of her CA. Doable, but a huge pain in the arse. Do keep in mind that the 3NA-CA hutao does must be delayed to accommodate for yelan’s proc CD, which is another layer of pain.
With zhongli in the team, you’ll need to run away before creating any pillar. With albedo in the team, good luck.
So, demand buff, don’t overhype. We want yelan strong, not clunky. Thank you for your attention.

Here’s my list of recommend stuff for Yelan:

3* Slingshot – 31.2% CRT.R | | 60% stronger CA in a close distance (pretty ez to obtain in all banners)

Well, this list might be not viable due to changes in beta, but i really wanted to share my opinion ~_~

Finally, I can bench water boi for my abyss team forever.

I have but 1 question

I know of Rational, or Raiden National. But do people actually call it “Baalcional”? It’s such a shit name tbh

I like Hoyoverse is releasing new characters that need old weekly boss materials and one of their actual nation on top of that. That also makes me wonder, Why does Hoyoverse even bother making new weekly bosses if only 4-5 characters are going to need their materials anyways?

Genshin’s hardest content nowaday is easy af for 1 year old/midbie player, I don’t even care about new characters’ power level, Hoyoverse will make sure of it for us. What players nowadays truly pay attention to is whether the character is FUN and suit their taste or not, next is the ability to coordinate new teams. Every character will have a gameplay issue and experienced players will know right away what to do to fix it, simple as that. For new players, Just enjoy the content learn gradually about game machinist, consider and choose for yourself whatever character you want to pull, don’t let one-sided judgments from anonymous theorycrafters influence your pulling decision. Nothing can go wrong matter what

Does she only have 1 idle animation? Based on leaks we’ve seen she only does that 1 animation where her dices randomly changes its number. I hope she has 2 different idles like every other chars

is she even worth making a SUB/DPS at c0?
