In Genshin Impact, Lan Yan is a resident chenyu valley in Liyue. She belongs to the Chenyu Valley Craftsmen Association and has been weaving rattan products for more than ten years. According to Ka Ming, even as a child, she was quite skilled and could repair baskets made of this material. Many people in Chenyu Valley often turn to Lan Yan with various requests for help related to making or repairing products.

Abilities

Lan Yan is a character who can act as both a shielder and a driver for her team. She wields the game's first Anemo Shield, which can adapt to any combat situation thanks to its elemental absorption, as well as dealing damage with the absorbed element. Lan Yan's Elemental Burst is fairly common among Anemo heroes, as it does nothing but damage and a pull. The heroine's advantage is that her skills rely on both attack power and elemental mastery, which allows her playstyle to be controlled by targeting damage or shield durability.

Basic skills (active skills)

Black Pheasant on the Water Surface (Normal, Charged, Drop Attack)

Source of damage: Attack Power.

Normal attack: Performs up to four strikes with Moon Feather Rings, dealing Anemo damage.

Radiant Moonrise (Burst of the Elements)

Source of damage: Attack Power.

Rollback time: 15 seconds

Power consumption: 60 units.

Summons a Flock of Moon Swallows that attracts enemies and items and deals damage multiple times.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Skill (E) > Elemental Burst (Q) > Normal Attacks.

In most cases, Lan Yan will only use his elemental skill and ult in battle, attacking with normal attacks only when necessary, but there are exceptions:

1. Elemental Skill — Lan Yan's main source of shield and damage. In addition, its durability depends on the level of skill upgrade, so regardless of the heroine's build, this skill is the one to pay most attention to and upgrade first.
2. Explosion of the elements - Pulls enemies to one point and deals Anemo damage to them three times. The ability has a low cost, so it can be used consistently to inflate elements on enemies.
3. Normal attacks - are used only in the driver position. If Lan Yan is a full-fledged shielder, then there is no point in wasting resources on pumping them.

ive skills

Lan Yan's ive Abilities:

Evil-Protecting Feather Talisman	Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage is increased by 309% and 774% of Lan Yan's Elemental Mastery.

Constellations

The table shows all the constellations of Lan Yan, and after it you can see the best of them:

Name	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1. "As if someone was walking among the clouds"	When Lan Yan's shield changes its element, an additional Moon Feather Ring will be released when using the skill.
2. "The clothes in the dance flutter like rainbow jade"	When Lan Yan's shield is active and a character on the field deals damage with a normal attack, the shield will recover 40% of its durability until it reaches the original absorption value. The effect occurs once every 2 seconds.
3. "Piercing the fog and clouds on white wings"	Increases elemental skill level by 3. Max level: 15.

6. "Let's fly away on the wings of the wind to the singing of silver ornaments"	The number of elemental skill charges increases by 1.

The best constellations of Lan Yan are С2, С3 и С6.

• Second constellation will allow the shield to be refreshed when using normal attacks. While this does not extend the shield's duration, the durability refresh can help keep the shield active for the full 12.5 seconds, provided that the active damage dealer or Lan Yan herself as the driver is actively using normal attacks.
• Third constellation Increases the level of the elemental skill to 13. Constant does not provide any special benefits, except that it adds additional values ​​to the overall strength of the shield, which is quite useful for a .
• sixth constellation Somewhat fixes Lan Yan's problem with maintaining her shield 100% of the time in battle. Since the shield duration is initially 3.5 seconds shorter than the ability's cooldown, the second charge will help maintain the shield without any problems.

How to play as Lan Yan

Lan Yan's gameplay depends on her role in the team:

• In the shield position, the heroine hardly stays in battle and only comes out to renew the shield and reset the ult on cooldown.
• As a Driver, Lan Yan constantly deals damage with normal attacks, switching to allies only to activate their abilities and buffs.

Let's take a closer look at the rotation in each role.

Rotation

Procedure for acting as a shield guard: use or sub-DD abilities > switch to Lan Yan and activate shield (E) > switch to damage dealer > activate Lan Yan's ult as it cools down.

1. Use and sub-DD skills to activate buffs and also apply status to enemies for Lan Yan to absorb.
2. Since the heroine's shield doesn't last very long, it's best to activate it before the damage dealer. It's also beneficial if Lan Yan is wearing Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, as the buff will then extend to the main damage dealer.
3. After activating the shield, switch to the main damage dealer and attack with him. It is advisable to use normal attacks, as this will extend the duration of the shield.
4. Lan Yan's ult can be used at any time during its cooldown to pull enemies in.

The order of actions on the driver role: activate skills > switch to sub-dds that attack from the pocket > switch to Lan Yan, activate her skill and ult if she is ready > use normal attacks.

1. The fight should begin with pressing the abilities of the s to provide the sub-DD with buffs.
2. Switch to secondary damage dealers and use their skills. It is desirable that their abilities are triggered automatically or from the driver's normal attacks.
3. Lan Yan is next on the battlefield. Press her skill to activate the shield. It's also worth pressing her ult if you have it built up.
4. While the sub-DD abilities are active, use Lan Yan's normal attacks. Also, don't forget to refresh the shield, as the skill also deals damage.

Advantages and disadvantages

Having understood the heroine’s abilities, we should dwell in more detail on her pros and cons:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Shield , which gives an Anemo shield that can adapt to different situations by absorbing elements. Lan Yan's shield can also recover its durability after normal attacks.	Lan Yan's shield lasts less than its cooldown.. This issue is only fixed by C6 or Ceremonial Memoirs, although the latter still does not have a 100% chance of skill cooldown. Because of this, it will not be possible to use the shield on cooldown or refresh it in teams that are unable to maintain the shield's durability with normal attacks.
Possesses the Anemo element, which makes it a good fit for almost any elemental squad that requires expansion and contraction. In addition, it can wear the Viridescent Venerer set.	Restores shield absorption only if C2 is present. The character is epic, but this does not mean that you can get the second constellation quickly. Without the second constellation, Lan Yan's shield is not very durable, which is why she will lose to many shielders.
Makes it easier to move around the world thanks to the dash when using the skill. When holding the ability, you can choose the direction, which allows Lan Yan to be used when exploring the world, like Keqing or al-Haytham.	Elemental Mastery only affects ability damage., so it won't change the shield's durability in any way. Because of this, you'll have to choose what's more required of Lan Yan: damage or shield, since getting enough of both attack power and elemental mastery can be difficult, especially for beginners. In addition, the heroine also requires crits in the driver build, which further complicates the stat balance.
Easy to assemble, since both the shield and damage only require attack power. Additional damage is provided by elemental mastery, although it can be completely discarded if damage is not needed.	Can only pull enemies and objects with the ult. Despite the low cost of the elemental explosion (60 units), for a quick recharge you will have to get energy recovery, otherwise Lan Yan will not be able to successfully group enemies in battle.

Leveling

In the following points, we will consider everything that Lan Yan needs for leveling up, including all the resources and materials for elevating the heroine herself and her talents.

Best Lan Yan Builds in Genshin Impact

Lan Yan's build depends on her position in the team, although she can be built for damage in both cases, since both ability damage and shield density are affected by attack power. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that as a driver, Lan Yan needs crit chance and crit damage, as well as elemental mastery, to a greater extent than a , and, conversely, she needs less energy regeneration.

Recommended characteristic values

Lan Yan's shield strength and damage are based on her attack power, although her ive increases her skill and ultimate damage based on her Elemental Mastery. Based on this, there are two possible Lan Yan builds:

• Through attack power as a .
• A hybrid variant for a driver with elemental mastery and attack power.

In the first case, to maximize the strength of the shield, the watch, cup and crown should be taken only on attack power. The only exception for the crown is Crete. chance, if Lan Yan uses Codex Favonia. Among the secondary stats you can look for mastery of the elements for damage, although it is recommended to pay more attention to energy recovery and attack power.

In the second assembly, the clock can be set as on attack powerAnd by mastery of the elements. In the cup - Anemo damage bonus or also Elemental Mastery. Since Lan Yan as a driver needs to use basic attacks and deal damage, she needs to pick up a crown Crete. damage or Crete. chanceSub-stats also require attack power, elemental mastery, and crits. Energy recovery should be taken as needed, depending on the weapons and equipment of the squad.

Shieldman assembly

Driver assembly

For playing as a driver, catalysts are useful not only for attack power, but also elemental mastery with energy recovery. It is also worth paying attention to the ive, since in this role Lan Yan uses normal attacks:

Name	ive	Recommendations
A dream on a sunny morning ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Elemental Mastery: 58-265	After activating Dispel, increases Elemental Mastery by 6 sec. 120-240 unit After hitting with an elemental skill, increases MS by 96-192 unit for 9 sec.

Sacrificial Fragments ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Elemental Mastery: 48-221	With probability 40%-80% elemental skill will restore its cooldown after use. The effect can occur once per 30-16 sec.

Nautical atlas ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Elemental Mastery: 24-110	After triggering a reaction, increases elemental damage bonus by 10 sec. 8%-16%. The effect stacks up to 2 times.	A craftable catalyst from Mondstadt, available from the start of the game. Lan Yan constantly triggers reactions, so he can keep two stacks active at all times.

Best Artifacts

Like weapons, artifacts for Lan Yan depend on her build:

• As a shielder, the character needs attack power or sets with useful bonuses.
• As a driver, the heroine has more versatility, so you can choose between her personal damage and her benefit to the team.

Shieldman assembly

Artifacts for a shielder should increase attack power or provide buffs to the team. The Viridescent Venerer set is the best, but you can also choose other options:

Driver assembly

For the driver, in addition to attack power or Viridescent Venerer, elemental mastery is also useful. Since the driver does not need energy recovery so much, sets with this stat can be omitted.

Detachments

In various teams, Lan Yan can be a shielder who protects the team and provides with Tie Down and Dispel, as well as a driver who is a key figure in groups with powerful secondary damage dealers. As an Anemo character, Lan Yan plays well in elemental teams that need constant reaction calls.

Due to the shield's duration and its not very high durability, which cannot be refreshed without C2, Lan Yan is best paired with characters that can be quickly switched between in combat. In addition, characters with stances that last longer than 12 seconds are not suitable for her.

Best characters

In the following points we will tell you more about all the characters for Lan Yan, and give examples of some teams, which for convenience are divided by the element of the main DD, which will paint Lan Yan's shield.

damage dealers

Heroes that deal the majority of the party's damage on their own:

Sub-dd

Characters that deal damage from the pocket. Mostly played with Lan Yan as a driver.

Sapports

Characters that provide to the team with buffs:

Best Commands for Shield

After listing all the characters Lan Yan can play with, it's time to put them together into suitable squads. Since the heroine plays as a shielder mostly with damage dealers who deal elemental damage, they are divided by element.

Squads with Hydro Main-DD

Groups with Hydro damager:

Squads with Cryo Main-DD

Groups where Lan Yan plays with a Cryo damage dealer:

Squads with Pyro main-dd

Groups with a fire primary damage dealer:

Squads with Electro main-dd

Teams where the main damage is done by the Electro character:

Best Driver Commands

Examples of Lan Yan groups, who are constantly on the battlefield and use normal attacks to activate the abilities of pocket sub-DDs:

Сonclusion

Lan Yan in Genshin Impact is a handy character with a catalyst and an Anemo element that allows her to carry artifacts and weapons to buff her allies. Her ability grants an Anemo shield that absorbs Pyro, Electro, Hydro, or Cryo upon interaction, increasing her effectiveness against elemental opponents. Like other characters of this element, Lan Yan has a tie-down that allows her to control the battlefield and group up enemies, and her elemental normal attacks allow her to play as a driver.

Due to the low shield duration and potential only being revealed at C2, Lan Yan is best played in teams that can allow her to switch and refresh her defense. If there is a second constellation, the active character must use normal attacks to restore shield durability. In addition, Lan Yan's shield durability is affected by attack power, and her damage is affected by both attack and elemental mastery, which requires a strict stat balance or determining whether damage is needed from the heroine.

We hope this guide helped you learn how to create the best Lan Yan build in Genshin Impact. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. in comments. stay tuned ENT.

Comparison of Lan Yan and Zhongli's shield

Lan Yan has firmly established herself in the shield niche, and many players have noticed that she is often no less comfortable to play with than Geo Archon, who previously held the confident first place among the s of this role. When evaluating their shields, it is important to consider the following nuances:

• Lan Yan's shield must be stacked through the use of normal attacks, which is not possible in every squad. Zhongli's shield does not have mechanics tied to specific actions of allies.
• Lan Yan's shield is only strong against the element it absorbs. If the elements do not match or the damage taken is of the physical type or Dendro and Geo element, the heroine's shield will perform worse than Zhongli's.

Thus, although in some limited gameplay situations (for example, fighting as a driver against an enemy with elemental attacks) Lan Yan's shield may prove more convenient than Zhongli's shield, in most cases the Geo Archon's shield will be 10-20% stronger. Lan Yan is neither superior nor inferior to Zhongli, but is a good and more affordable alternative.
