A little note regarding the ending tests. It seems in the very specific double geo Hu Tao team, Yelan’s application of hydro cant keep up with all the geo stuff/reactions happening. Seems that for most other teams, she’s basically an upgraded Xingqiu though. Also, I’m aware pyro res doesn’t do anything for her, and any other atk buffs. But it does work for our main DPS (Yoimiya in this case) and the other units, so my point there still stands. IMO the extra 12% max hp is only worth it if your team doesn’t suffer for it (mine would have, no benny, no pyro res).

Fun fact: You can actually equip her with just level 1 r5 stringless. 😆 She only need the stringless passive. Lv 90 is good though with that EM.

Hoyoverse designing any other character: *monke noises Hoyoverse designing Liyue characters: *Ok team, today we are going to make PERFECTION*

xingqiu's rainswords also applies hydro, so when hutao charges she will be the one who vaporizes. the problem with yelan is she doesn't apply as much hydro as xingqiu where geo constructs from zhong and albedo can steal the reaction via crystalize.

I still am not over the fact that Yelan's max health increases if you have more different elements in your party and all her damage comes from health. That's insane

Pryo resonance doesn’t do anything to yelan except boost her normal attacks, the 4 different elements are much more worth it since it affects her breakthrough shot, skill, and burst

I feel like yoimiya is indirectly being buffed every version. First yun jin, then Echoes of an Offering (almost same damage as Shimenawa, but you have burst) now Yelan

I highly recommend pairing up Yelan with Yanfei and Xiangling. I have Yelan with my Yanfei and she is SO good! Highly recommend giving her a shot with Yanfei. And same thing with Xiangling. It acts as another Xingqui, and maybe could be a nice replacement for the Xingqui/Xiangling combo. Edit: I wanted to add that Yelan is kinda like a combo between Fischl and Xingqui. I play her like a Fischl, and she’s pretty dope.

Explanation as to why she doesn’t work with Hu Tao: unfortunately the double geo of albedo and Zhongli removes the hydro mark. This is because she fires 3 water arrows, while XQ fires four. So albedos blossom and Zhonglis pillar proc and remove the water mark. She works fine with hu Tao, just not in that team. P.S in the God mode would you think about trying her with Keqing? It’s just that I main her and I’m not sure if they work well together

Moga remember that atk buff like thrilling tales and pyro resconence dont buff yelan at all since She scales with hp. Only Hydro dmg buff and resistence shread make her stronger.

fun fact: xingqius damage reduction from the rain swords actually increase the durability of shields

It's insane how a character can dismiss Base ATK all together. Impressive how using 3 star weapon are more viable than most 5 star for Yelan.

Xingqiu can actually apply more hydro cause his swords around you and his constellations. I think Yelan needs c2 to make Hu tao vape consistently. Also Albedo and Zhongli take away some of the hydro aura with their crystallize reactions. Maybe a different team without them two can be enough for hu tao to vape her charged attacks

Hu tao can actually vaporise every charged attack with yelan, but that depends a lot on your team composition. The issue with yelan is that she doesn't apply the same amount of hydro units as xingqiu, so the hydro she applies gets eaten up by albedo's blossoms. But if you put hu tao and yelan in a team without albedo her vapes would it would be far more consistent. Whether it's a loss or not to leave out albedo from hu tao's team is up to you to decide.

Pairing up Yelan with Xingqiu in HuTao comp is fun and strong. You drown enemies with hydro and you get yelan buff as well.

As someone who has c6 yelan, SHES SO MUCH FUN. i love her playstyle so much!!! I’m planning to triple crown her!

Yelan is indeed a great unit, but a slight problem with the hu tao team is that the geo application is to powerful and yelan's burst has a weaker hydro application than xingqiu

Honestly, I think Yelan’s pretty cool. I like bow characters and how they work, so she would work great with my account. Especially my team. But I also love Yoimiya and I’ve already farmed her materials, so I might just wait for Yelan’s next rerun.

I was so presently surprised by her absolutely love her! shes been killing it in my Yanfei team

She’s fun most everywhere, regardless of synergy, but “Blue-Tao” is definitely my favorite team. (Walnut / Johnny / Water Boy / Water Lady)

Wait didn’t you say you would level the characters up to 70 for raised mode

We finally have a character that can apply hydro as quickly as Klee applies pyro so I'm really looking forward to trying that

She's also a godsent to that pesky first floor on floor 11 in spiral abyss as you can use her E to get those spread out enemies fast. So now you have other options besides the anemo suck 'em up.

I was wondering about how Klee would perform if you had both yelan and xingqiu, because one of klee's issues was that not all of her attacks could vaporize even with xingqiu burst. So maybe have both xingqiu and yelan would fix that? Idk if it would be worth it in terms of the whole team but I think it would be an interesting thing to test

i honestly love her, since ever she came out i've been spending so much money to the point where she's c3 already- i really really wanna get her to c6 because she really is a fun and strong character

When you use her bow her burst DMG will bump up to over 9k no buffs or reactions. And since vaps from hydro does more DMG than vaps from pyro, enemies will get one shot with Hu Tao. Both of them will do DMG. Practice to start the charged attack away from the enemy unlike with water boi who we hug the enemy.

I've also tried using both xingqiu and yelan with hu tao and it was amazing, you're always going to vaporize while getting the dmg buff from yelan's passive. I think I prefer that over the geo resonance

For all those wondering, Aqua (passive on) is like 3% more damage in freeze Ganyu and 6% less damage in melt Ganyu when compared to Amos bow (full stacks) in an optimized setting. Without full stacks on Amos, it is like 3% less damage than Aqua in a melt team. Calcs are done by Ganyu mains server using KQM standard. TLDR: Aqua BiS for freeze Ganyu. Amos BiS for melt Ganyu.

I saw someone already have C6 Yelan, she was very scary and she regularly hit 38k

btw in the Zhongli Bennett Yelan Yoimiya comp, start with Yelan Q and then E, and then Bennett. This is because you get to the higher dmg% as your dps window starts later, also bennett ult will last longer for yoimiya

I use her with raiden Benny and sucrose for quick swap. It's a really fun team with a lot of reactions i recommend you try it

8:25 When that poor Treasure Horder was YEETED into the stratosphere I'm not gonna lie, I lost it ahahaha.

You could try a Hutao team with both Xingqiu and Yelan, I've seen some other people doing and it seems like it works well

SHES COOL WOW, and also goodluck on your yelan/xiao pulls everyone!

I have her and she's absolutely amazing She's my favourite now I spent 10 fragile just to get her to 90 ASAP And even with lv.6 talents she is SLAPPING She is also great DPS

My Yelan is doing 35k vaporises with her E with a 3 star bow and 0 EM. Her potential is just insane

My first time being so early. I haven't finished it (4 minutes after he posted so lol) but I like the consist uploading moga has (love your vids bro) ^^

I've been trying out QiQi, Yun Jin, Beido, and Yelan with Yelan as main DPS. I liked the idea of a 4 element team working together -- so Yun Jin and Yelan. And then Cryo gets some nice freezes going since Yelan has to be kind of close to basic attack. Since Yelan's basic attacks are not element infused, I figured the super conduct from Beido/Qiqi would be helpful too, as well as the electro charge. I don't have QiQi, Yun Jin, and Beido raised very high, so its a bit weak at the moment. But Yun Jin's C6 also seems good here, especially since Yun Jin's buffs are all for normal attack damage, and not ATT buffs.

For the people wondering icd(internet cool down) has a basic rule that it'll only apply hydro every 3 hits or 2.5 secs so water boi swords hits 5 times (c6) and his water swords (the one you see on your active character applies hydro also that's why it can stop burning)while yelan burst hits 3 times at c0 so basically water boi has more opportunities to apply hydro causing a vaporize there's probably smarter people that can explain it in a smarter way so research if you're interested edit: corrected typos

Who knew that moga would treat Yelan like zhongli and use her every single day

i wanna wish for her but i gotta stay strong for dendro archon

🌸🌺You would beside yourself unable to hide the joy and excitement that would overtake every fiber of your being.🌺🌸

you should try xingqiu and yelan in the same team with hu tao and yoimiya, i heard it's great

From what ive seen and heard, dps yelan really benefits from barbaras c2 as its boosts hydro dmg and synergies better than if you were to use benny to buff

Man Yelan is really tempting me to pull, but i'm waiting for Kaedehara Kid since i already prepared everything for him

8:25 did we just witness the "ascension to celestia" process?

Yelan and yoimiya are the best pairing ive found. I just throw diona and yunjin with them and the team feels great.

I already LOVE using yoimia against single target enemies but seeing her with yelan too is INSANE

I had her at level 50 with level 1 talents and she did 10k with a viridescent hunt and 2 piece millilith and 2 piece heart if depth

Savage Moga at 9:00 .I actually had to pause the video cause I bursted out laughing. You earned yourself a sub with that line! 🤣

Tempted to go for her but my hearts set on kazuha

I wasn’t so lucky farming for emblem pieces so i put a few god pieces from noblesse and HoD, she performs really well and doesn’t really need that much ER to have her burst back on cooldown from what I’ve seen

Moga you could try Yoimiya Yelan Yunjin and a last one that is a healer but not Pyro Hydro or Geo to get Yunjin and Yelan that perfect boost

Another aspect of Yelan is that she attacks based off of hp so if you build her with a massive amount of hp then she may be a bit more consistent. She most likely will not be as consistent to pair with Hu tao, however, I have my Yelan paired with Klee and that duo is so op! Xingqiu is definitely better for Hu tao, but with launch attack users (bow and catalyst) Yelan is much better.

I use her with two piece tenacity and two piece HoD and with sringless and her damage is very good she dose 100k only with vape and her burst dmg 9k per arrow and at max stacks she dose 13k pre arrow try her with this build oh and mine has 36k hp

Love how this turned into a yoimiya showcase for a hot minute 😭

Anyone else feel jealous not getting Yelan but in the end we must stay strong for our Maple boy

If youre having a hard time determining if you are vaping or not, u can just look at masanori's hp bar. If u see the hydro icon all the time, then u are vaping. If u always see the pyro icon, then yelan is the one vaporizing

Honestly, I would've swapped bennet with yunjin in yoimiya's team.

8:23 lmfao yeeted that treasure hoarder 🤣

It makes sense for her to scale off of hp since the prev new hydro (Ayato) also scaled off of hp

So basically why Hu Tao is not vaping cause Albedo or Zhongli constructs are the ones using her hydro application to create shards. C6 Xingqiu fires an extra rainsword and if you are standing in melee range he can also passively apply hydro enough for both crystallization and Hu Tao vape. Moga I would suggest you go for her C2 cause it literally does what C6 Xingqiu does. Also 1 more extra charge so you can get away with using Aqua bow and around 160-180% ER

Im using 3* bow Slingshot for her. Around 8k per dice, I'm satisfied with her.

9:05 wtf I never expected such a sick burn from you lmao

she's actually the most misunderstood character (based of the people who knows some leaks saying that she's gonna be hard to use), i didn't expect her dmg would be big lol

There is a way to use Yelan and Hu Tao which is using both Xingqiu and Yelan with Hu Tao, that allows Hu Tao to get consistent vapes and reap the benefits of dmg reduction and healing from Xingqiu and then higher dmg and a dmg buff from Yelan

yelan and xingqiu has the same icd but she just doesnt apply as much hydro as xingqiu does

it is worth considering 3 star bows on her, she doesnt care for base attack much at all in particular: sharpshooters oath has the third highest crit dmg of any bow slingshot has the second highest crit rate of any bow recurve has the highest hp% of any bow (even being higher than the passive on an r5 simulacra)

My yelan is killing it with 73/260 with 180er she's absolutely amazing and absolute godlike with xingqiu...

After bringing yelan home, this video just showed me, how much I need yoimiya, can‘t wait for her rerun

she is only outclassed in vape specifically for hu tao , rest diluc and yoimiya work the same with both so yelan is better and klee and yanfei already apply too much pyro for both xq and yelan to keep up , in freeze and taser teams yelan is better due to 5* stat scaling

i dont have hu tao myself, but from looking at hu tao's playstyle i'm pretty sure that other than the double geo team, the reason xinqiu does more vapes than yelan is because of, as you said, the swords have a bit of a delay so its better for vaporize hu tao both yelan and xinqiu dont do the ult attacks on charged attacks, only on normal attacks hu tao does a normal attack before charged, so xinqiu's ult delay is perfect where as yelan, her ult attacks are so fast that it only vaporizes the normal attack before charged

Ayo I’ve never been this early 😩, idk if I should go for her or itto, I’ve farmed for itto but yelan seems fun but I’m low pity and on 50/50 help

Xingqiu's rainsword around the character makes the vaporises more consistent

first?

Catalyst and now users will always be my favorite

in walnut team it can happen that the geo from zhongli and albedo "eat up" the hydro applied by yelan

The inconsistency with Hu Tao and Yelan is due to some RNG with your Geo units. If they trigger a crystalize reaction with the hydro applied by Yelan they can use up the applied hydro such that Hu Tao cannot vape it. If you don't get a pillar or blossom hit you vape as normal. Hu Tao's vapes can also be messed up by her own Blood Blossom DoT triggering a vape and using up the hydro on the enemy right as/before you would normally vape with a charged attack. Granted this only happens every 4 seconds which can make it a fairly minimal problem.

With that father and milk joke you got my subscribe, made me chuckle

I play her with my main dps lisa, especially cuz of her passive, and because I use the lost prayer to the sacred winds on Lisa, that's just yet another buff for staying on her and attacking with her for a long time, so she's essentially also a buff for my Lisa which I really like

Going through a crisis…. I wasn’t planning on pulling for her bc I want kazuha but I played her trial run and I love her so I ended up wishing, lost the 50/50 and now I’m guaranteed a kazuha but still… 🙁 (I got her! I couldn’t pass it up lol, I love her very much)

Yup, the timing on the hydro application with Yelan does not work as well as it does with water boy. But yelan works better with Yoimiya and Klee. Its as far as i can tell a timing thing with how the Bursts work, and that slight delay on Xingqius water swords makes Hutao more consistent from what I have seen and tried myself.

You should try and hu tao/yelan/xq comp. Yelan does decent dmg and increases HP and with both of their ults up hu tao would be able to vape evrything

I just got her and I’m really loving her E (I’ll probably use her as a hydro applier thing instead of DPS) I’ll add Xingqiu with her too so they can like… feed off each other

On hutao tests, zhongli’s pillar and albedo’s flower are consuming water left on masanori. Elemental gauges theory explains it very well

My xingqui does 100k with E and like 300k with Q, if he got outclassed by yelan, I'd be sad af. But happy at the same time, cuz he can actually go neck to neck with a 5* character

Actually, it’s just because when xinqui runs into an enemy, he applies hydro to them where as yelan doesn’t. And it doesn’t share the internal cool down it is like your reason and this reason.

At 16:03 i was like DUDE, HUTAO’S ON LIFE SUPPORT AND THE GRASS IS BURNING, THAT CRYSTALIZE SHEILD CAN DIE ANYTIME

Most of the comments saying it's cause of elemental gauge But no It's cause of xingqiu can apply a bit more hydro than yelan cause of his rainswords that spin around him. Those things clear out the excess pyro that hutao apply and let's her to do the vaporise on the next charged attacks. So in simple terms, Xingqiu apply more hydro cause of his rainswords while yelan does not have that feature.

Xinqiu's hydro gauge is higher than yelan's so hu tao can vap both normal and charged but in yelan's case hu tao vap the normal but didn't have enough left to vap the charged shot. Actually yelan can keep up but if you use the geo team the hydro aura will be overrided (idk another word lol) by hu tao's pyro. You may have heard of thoma stealing the vaps from hu tao. In Razor language: xinqiu's burst is wetter than yelans so hu tao vap both her shots (normal+ charge)

Moga, you can try the Raiden National team for the god mode. Benny, Xianling, Yelan and Raiden (I think in that team is better to start the rotation with Yelan so her DMG bonus passive is stacked by the time you switch to Raiden and do her burts)

8:26 treasure hoarder ascended LMFAO im dead

The flying treasure hoarder was funny asf lmaooo

I would recommend for the sans you get an hp sans, because barely anything scales off of attack for her

Thanks for the content Moga ! Very chill to watch :D

I'm using her as a main DPS with Raiden for the coordinated atks. Ganyu as a Support for cryo and Sayu for swirls. I like that team a lot.

her skill on e makes her propable best character to move around the map

That treasure hoarder flying in the air rlly got to me

Short explanation : Hutao doesn't have an internal CD Yelan applies less hydro,but XQ applies more, specially because the swords around him apply on touch too (also he applies even more with C6)

Yelan raised: I sleep Yelan raises arms: highest tier Mr Incredible becomes canny reaction.
