Why Yelan MIGHT Be Yikes… [Genshin Impact]



Here are some concerns I have for the upcoming 2.7 Yelan. Although I have not looked into how the character performs, concerns are still based on the current state of Hydro units.

  1. honestly as someone whos still debating if i want to pull for yelan i`m not even considering what role shes gona be or if she ends up doing something similar to bookboy if she would be better at c0 all i`m thinking about is if i want to get her or no, at this point i don`t care even if all the characters i realise i want to would be trash tier healers, even if kazuha is right around corner i rather pick up unit that i would like to play not pick up unit i don`t want to play but would benefit my team more

  2. I'm not worried about Yelan, a hydro mommy is needed. I'm more worried for the next cryo character because cryo in general have it all. Supports, Off-field and on-field dps, even a physical dps, and a child to a mommy/daddy build, genshin is basically done with cryo. I guess to powercreep is the way else that character may be underwhelming.

  3. Just need to say, Ayato is supreme in electrocharged and if Kuki is a healer with aoe electro application with decent particle generation and some extra supportive capabilities, she will make electrocharged teams very competitive against other teams in aoe situations. As it is, my Ayato, kazuha, fischl and beidou comp annihilates floor 12-1 the fastest.

  5. As someone who dislikes XQ's design and doesn't use him anyway, there is every reason for me to pull for Yelan regardless of whether she powercreeps him.

  6. The Leakers have forced Hoyoverse to do the following:
    1) Decrease the Quality of C0 characters
    2) Give us less rewards
    3) Release buggy content
    4) Not allow us to have an "Skip Banner" option

  7. Is it just me or is here also someone who absolutely doesn’t care about Xq? I refuse to play him , because I don’t like his looks that’s why I hope Yelan does something similar like Xq

  8. same thing was happening with Raiden and kazuha
    you should skip cause electro bad
    then Raiden drops
    we already have venti and sucrose
    then kazuha drops
    we have ayato xingqiu and mona
    wait till Yelan drops

  9. I wish they made her more original, I feel like besides the new geo 4 stars the last time we got a character who didn’t do the same thing as another unit was Radien all the way back in 2.1, for me I going to skip and save up for Rosalia cons and Kazaha

  10. Why can't Yelan be a dps focused on Charged atk like Ganyu? Or Normal Atk like Yoimiya? That makes her different enough from Childe or Ayato being a bow focused atker that players can be interested in using her. Maybe she could have some rng mechanic on her burst. Maybe she can build stack to buff an ally. There can be endless possibilities they could do to make her kit different. Its not as simple as ohh we have a dps a support a healer a buffer. Its about 1. Playing character that you enjoy or 2. If you are into dmg then playing the most optimal character. So maybe in a very specific team comp she dumpsters all other hydro characters but for the general player base who aren't whaling for Conts then she's ok. Some part of the player base will like every character. No one character makes everyone happy

  11. I've put her into a simulation, c0 Yelan pair with c6 XQ with normal HP and DPS build, able to kill enemies pretty quick, the energy generation also pretty quick, the problem I face is when I trying to put her on a budget or F2P scenario, pair her with beidou is a good option too for 3rd member but energy generation created by beidou are not quite good, thus in a long run you just cannot maintain a good dps because of beidou, and the last one either you pick a shielder or a healer. Diona is a good option but quite troublesome while facing corrosion type DMG, you need to heal the entire party member, thus the option falls to Noelle.

  12. Well, it's more like Mihoyo can't just release Dendro without Dendro teams working with any 1.x and 2.x units. Generally we can expect weaker units to gain more viability while stronger units are likely to not work too well or even completely incompatible with Dendro. As the last of the 7, while Dendro is unlikely to bring the game into perfect balance it has the potential to improve on the balance between the elements at the very least. So that isn't really so much copium/hopium as it seems.

    However, at the pace of 17 new characters per year for the next few years, it's likely Mihoyo is going to start running out of niches in a year's time.

  13. Umm I’m going to pull yelan for a few reasons, one being cause when mihoyoverse or hoyosh*t released her design I liked it and It’s quite good tbh just pull for characters whether you like them by their design or gameplay it doesn’t really matter (just pull for someone you like) another reason I’m pulling for yelan is because aside from my already built and aquired national team I need a freeze team but I don’t have another xingiu and the other hydro unit that I also have is barbara which mehh I don’t really wanna play her 🙂 (and she would be kind of a bad synergy with rosaria cause if id wan’t another freeze team I’d might have to say that I also need another xingiqu and I’m alright with that) soo yeah umm… yeah that’s it teehee… 😉
    (sorry if I offended anyone ehe I’m saying this just in case. I don’t really wanna argue about it 🙂 … adding another hydro unit to your lineup if you don’t have too much hydro characters would be also another reason why pulling for yelan might be good…
