Best Party For Yelan

| - Yelan will be a Burst Sub-DPS wherein she can continously deal damage with her Elemental Burst without having to be on the field. It's her Burst that should proc Vaporize in this lineup. - Hu Tao as the main DPS will be able to deal high amounts of damage, while also applying continuous Pyro damage to enemies. However, she won't be the one that will proc Vaporize, but Yelan. - Sucrose will be able to spread the Elements above while also buffing the Elemental damage of the team - Since the team doesn't have a healer, having Zhongli on the team will allow the team to survive thanks to his shield. His Burst also has CC to make it easier to control and damage enemies. | |||
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Hu Tao | Diluc | - Diluc is a good sub for Hu Tao though the downside is that his Pyro application is not as consistent as hers during her Elemental Skill. |
| Sucrose | Kazuha | - Kazuha is a great enabler, capable of spreading around elements easily. He can also help to group up enemies with his Elemental Skill. |
| Zhongli | Diona | - Diona may not have the strongest shield, but she makes up for it with healing and additional increase in Elemental Mastery for the team. |

Voicelines About Yelan
| Voice Lines About Yelan | |
|---|---|
| Chongyun | I met her once, back when I'd just become an exorcist. I'd taken a commission to perform an exorcism in someone's home, and was just leaving at the end when I ran into her. She wrote my name down in a booklet — I guess she just wanted to confirm I wasn't doing anything suspicious... Anyway, it was just that one time, I never saw her again after that. Now that I think about it, it's probably because the sight of me meditating motionless must be pretty boring to watch. Not exactly suspicious." |
| Ganyu | Even though Ms. Yelan is absent from work for the majority of the year, I'm sure Lady Ningguang must have her reasons for making exceptions for her. Of course, it wouldn't be my place to ask, so I don't know the details of their arrangement. I remember seeing her one day on my way back to Yuehai Pavilion, she was having breakfast with a group of people — they were all talking and laughing, eating, drinking tea... I must admit, I found myself feeling a little envious in that moment. |
| Keqing | Ms. Yelan's ancestors used to serve the Qixing. My grandfather and her family have had academic collaborations in the past. All in all, she's reliable, efficient, and provides important intel to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I can't say for sure how Ms. Yelan actually gets her intel, however... |
| Ningguang | She's a very interesting character. I can say with the utmost confidence that she is someone I trust unreservedly. She handles herself impeccably, which means she stays beyond reproach. Hehe, since you both have high intelligence in common, hopefully you will get along very well." |
| Xiangling | Yelan? Of course, I remember her! When I first met her, I was certain she'd be the kind of gal who'd prefer lighter dishes... turned out that she can handle the most spice out of all my customers! Apparently, my dishes weren't spicy enough for her, because she started taking bites of raw Jueyun Chilies! Truly amazing. |
| Xiao | I've heard that she once investigated The Chasm, following the trail of the Millelith. If she can investigate mysteries like that on her own, she must be someone of rare skill. |
| Xingqiu | Have you heard the expression "same person, different face"? Ms. Yelan gives me precisely this feeling. When she came to visit my family, my father and brother treated her with respect, and she was pleasant and polite in return. She seemed like a kind and mature young lady to me. But when I saw her elsewhere, she gave a completely different impression." |
| Yanfei | Yelan is an employee of the Ministry of Civil Affairs she once helped me crack a tough accounting fraud case. I treated her to dinner afterward. The only thing is…. I feel like she's able to read my mind at any given moment when talking to her... Yes, in the future, I need to make absolutely sure I don't get on the wrong side of her. |
