Why YELAN Is WORTH Pulling (or NOT)! What to Consider & Updated 3.4 Review | Genshin Impact

Yelan rerun banner is coming in Genshin Impact 3.4, but is Yelan still worth pulling? This video is an updated Yelan review that will discuss what you can expect from Yelan and why I think she is worth pulling. I also include things to consider before pulling her, such as how Yelan vs Xingqiu compares, how F2P-friendly she is, early constellations, and how she works with Dendro. #GenshinImpact #Yelan #Genshin

Cons for pulling yelan: She is sort of a second xinqiu
Pros for pulling yelan: She IS sort of a second xinqiu

[MozeFan]

I still find it funny that instead of replacing Xingqiu or being replaced by Xingqiu, the community instead decided to use them together and it's actually broken. Their synergy with one another reminds me of Xiangling + Bennett and Beidou + Fischl.

Prerelease: Xingqiu for second team

Post release: Second Xingqiu for main team

Yelan is a pull that I mostly made on a whim after the eternal Ayaka banner, but she has proven to be so useful and convenient. Easy to build without too much investment for good payoff. I don’t regret getting her at all! I’m considering getting her c1 this time around.

[drakensgreed]

Yelan is always worth the pull for so many reasons, not least of all style points.

[theretherebearbears]

Her E skill is already 70% of a reason for me to pull. I spent so much time jogging across the new desert area + puzzles that want bow, having Yelan sounds heavenly. I know there's Sayu, but I've tried Yelan out during events and her E feel smoother in comparison.

Forgot to mention that her Breakthrough Barbs are very OP in overworld in the "explode the barrels" challenges. You don't need to aim the barrel itself but you can aim of terrain nearby (similar to Ganyu)

[golasticus]

I pulled for Yelan during her initial release as a "2nd Xingqiu" but honestly, she ended up being more than that. Amazing for exploration, very easy to build plus amazing performance relative to time invested, not to mention that she ended up being part of Hu Tao's best team. She even feels better to use compared to Xingqiu for those situations where you don't need so much hydro application like in national or dendro teams because of her faster field time and mobility due to the speed of her skill compared to Xingqiu (even more so if Xingqiu has Sac Sword).

Yelan may not be the flashy dps character you flex to others but honestly, she's probably the most worth it character that I pulled for and that's comparing her to characters like Raiden, Hu Tao and Zhongli.

by virtue of being a hydro unit, Yelan is already SO incredibly valuable!! she can slot into virtually any team comp, doesn’t require much in terms of investment to get her started, and is very f2p friendly to boot! i’d say the only downside to Yelan is having to farm those dumb little seashells but even then you can just co-op those to get her leveled quicker lol

[RWSimply]

I pulled on Yelan because she looked cool and I needed another “Xingqiu” but what I got was an overall upgrade to my entire account because of how strong and easy she is to build and use.

[sorcierenoire]

Im planning to aim for C0 Yelan and C6 Xingqiu. The rest for Simulacra since I can use Yelan's bow for Ganyu, I can also R5 Yoimiya's Rust and if I get Homa spooks, I'll just give it to Zhongli. Everything all leads towards strengthening Yoimiya's Team.

[asmrslol]

With the new dendro reactions, it’s great to have two hydro appliers on separate teams

[atgodsmercy]

Yelan carried me through ar 20-57 and I Strongly reccommend pulling for her. she doesnt need bennett which is a w since you can use bennett at the other half

[adriangerardlopez]

Yelan is one of the characters that I don't regret having. The selling point for me was her being called a 5-star Xingqiu, and I needed that since I use Xingqiu a lot. Plus her mommy energy is too powerful to resist.

I am planning to get her weapon and maybe her C1 as well. RIP wallet.

[witheredaway]

I have her with a pure HP build and she is amazing, incredible with Xiangling

[SkyRainpuff]

C1 increases exploration speed. Also, having C1 and Sac bow is massive.

[Logick]

for me, Yelan was definitely the one of the best 5* to come from 2022. I didn't think I'd like her as much as I do. Can't wait to get her C1.

[orangefonta]

I stumbled into pulling her by luck when I came back from a year away from Genshin without knowing what she would do, and she’s one of my fav and best character pulls ever.

She’s been fun to use in over world for exploration and farming anything I need as well as a great benefit to my spiral abyss runs. I would always recommend her. 💙💙

[christopheantoine]

When Yelan was released, i had stocked enough primos to get my C0 Kazuha to C2... But i was sold by that E ghost skill linking ennemies together, to the point Yelan took all my savings to get her C1 + Aqua. Absolutely no regret! She has been my most fun and most used unit since then. Can't wait to get her to C3 or C4 next week (i saved for her rerun since end of Nahida's banner) then saving again to C6 her next year.

[tseikyuu]

Yelan was one of my most anticipated characters because I needed another Hydro Sub DPS and tbh she exceeded my expectations. She’s so versatile and can fit into any team but in Double Hydro is where she shine. You should definitely pull for her if you can because I will definitely get her C1.
