Yelan boasts a unique charged attack called Breakthrough. After staying out of combat for 5 seconds, she enters a Breakthrough state after spending, significantly reducing her next Charged Aimed Shot's charge time by 80 decreased charge time. Once fully charged, she fires a Breakthrough Barb, inflicting dealing AoE Hydro damage that scales with Yelan's Max HP as hydro. This dynamic ability adds a strategic dimension to her combat arsenal, allowing players to capitalise on her unique mechanics, and her lifeline will explode, dealing substantial Hydro damage to adversaries.

Elemental Skill and Lingering Lifeline

Yelan's Elemental Skill, Lingering Lifeline, unleashes a swift Lifeline that propels her with remarkable speed while ensnaring and marking foes in its trajectory. Upon concluding the rapid movement of the elemental burst depth clarion dice, the Lingering Lifeline grains detonate, delivering Hydro damage to the designated adversaries, calculated by Yelan's Max HP as hydro. This skill accentuates her agility and mobility and showcases her ability to strategically maneuver through the battlefield, capitalizing on her unique attributes to unleash potent Hydro and initiate a coordinated attack on her opponents.

  • Tap: swiftly advances a set distance forward.
  • Hold: initiates a continuous and accelerated movement, bolstering Yelan's resistance to disruption. She retains control over her trajectory throughout this agile manoeuvre and can cease the movement by reactivating the skill. Opponent marks Lifeline's detonation grant Yelan 34% Breakthrough state after spending. The skill has a cooldown of 10 seconds and a maximum duration of 3 seconds.
