IMPORTANT!!!
It seems Youtube has flagged my previous Al Haitham video, causing its impressions to decrease drastically (just 8k in 3 days, while I would get the same amount in 1-2 hours on former videos), and limiting its reach pretty much only to my subs. I suspect this is due to the copyright strike I received on Dehya and Mika videos a week ago. I hope this won't persist, but here is what you can do to help me:
1) Share my videos/channel to others through the share function of youtube
2) Put thumbs up
3) Comment under my videos
Thanks for everything.

She's just not for me because I have childe and Ayato already and am saving for Focalors. But I know she's really meta
Im planning to do a cheeky pull for yelan and weapon banner, but wouldnt really dump all my savings on them 😂
got her on the first banner and I love her. I hope to get simulacra for her the next few days
Nice 👍
Double hydro is amazing.
you guys want the strongest team? get yelan
raiden/kuki, yelan, xq, nahida/bennett/kazuha
zl, hutao, yelan, xq
you name it
I Hope you ll get over this !
I love your vids and your great work
While she isn't really a must-pull, I'm still pulling cause I wasn't able to with Ayato and I really liked her back then. Hope I get her C1 along with her weapon!
In team science we trust
If you have any of the other hydro 5 stars, except maybe nilou, i dont think she would make a big difference at all, they're all interchangeable imo, the only situation i would put her above the others is if you have hu tao
I don't know if she's a must pull, but double hydro with Xingqiu and Yelan are bonkers fun
All I need is last constilation 6 for xingqiu.
Honestly the only reason i'll be wishing on her banner is to get xingqiu cons. I hate characters that have energy issues or something but that is fixed with their cons ( like yelan with her c1 ) if cons just give damage it's fine but when they make the character feel better to play it's one thing that keeps me from wanting them
i hope to c6 her and hu tau this banner run no matter what, been saving for ages and fortunately they came together. i have alotta primos
Amazing video. She alone carried me in abyss and provide my 36 star always. I never have to worry about the team she's in. It's always the second team that sucks coz there's no 2 Yelan in the game. Hahaha.
the answer is da
i'm whaling for the c6 😀 i currently have c2 and is planning to only spend max of 500$, how likely am i to get c6? ( currently has 55 pulls saved and 11 pity 50/50) oh no topup bonus either
yes she is
After watching first couple seconds of the vid "ok I'm sold"
As someone who doesn't use Xingqiu often , Yelan's an easy skip for me.
Even tho i got crazy HP pieces recently
There's no must pull character in Genshin. Yes even Bennett is not compulsory to beat the game.
Yelan also has a pretty significant buff for u on fielder and she does as much damage with fav as xq does with a 5* like jade cutter. Basically even Without reactions she’s a plug and play unit that easily boosts most teams in game
Hope I win the 50/50 lol
I still think yelan is generally one of the must-pull 5 stars in the game despite her overlapping kit with xingqiu and even though I'm not actually pulling for her on this rerun for various reasons. yelan is also relatively easy to build compared to many other high value 5 stars since she scales with hp% which is a pretty common stat in artifacts.
I think out of all the 5 🌟 characters she is the top choice to eventually go for 6 constellations she's absolutely insane.
I'm a simple person, I see armpits, I pull, it's just so lucky that the owner of these armpits is also a top meta unit and a top fun unit
Is Yelan a must pull?
Yes, but also no, but definitely yes.
I was holding off pulling a 5* hydro unit until the Archon came out but Yelan seems too good to pass up, especially as a C1R0 Hu Tao user. I doubt Focalors will overstep Yelan's role too much since she'd either be Xingqiu 3: Judgement Day or total Hydro powercreep neither of which I think are likely possibilities.
Double hydro supremacy.
did not know that XingQiu doesnt snapshot!
Slightly lower hydro application which Yelan has enables quickenbloom Cyno, whereas her C2's additional arrow per two valleys may pose a problem. Although, why do I even care while my C0 Cyno runs with Kitain spear in this p-comp 🙂
Thx for the video
I would've pulled for Yelan back then, but I stopped playing Genshin for a while, so I missed her banner… I stopped between the time of Shenhe's release and Sumeru's launch. I would try and pull for her, but I won't go past 40 wishes. My initial goal remains the same: Baizhu and the Hydro Archon take precedence over all other characters.
Your thumbnails look so good by the way
