Popular Teams For Yelan

Freeze Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy for the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Skirk	Azurelight Finale of the Deep Galleries Main: ATK% / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK%
Escoffier	Symphonist of Scents Golden Troupe x4 Main: ATK% or Energy Recharge / Cryo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%
Furina	Splendor of Tranquil Waters └ If you're having trouble charging Furina's Burst every rotation, you can try equipping Fleuve Cendre Ferryman, Favonius Sword or Festering Desire instead. Golden Troupe x 4 └ Best for personal damage. Equip the Tenacity of the Millelith set instead if you want to further buff an ATK-scaling DPS. Main: Energy Recharge% or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%

Yelan is among the best fourth teammate option for a Freeze team consisting of Skirk, Escoffier and Furina. Her and Furina mutually benefit off of each other's presence on the team via increased Hydro Energy Particle generation and the activation of the Hydro Resonance, which buffs both of their personal damage outputs.

Rotation Of Freeze Yelan Team

This team's rotation follows the familiar support first then On-Field DPS last scheme. Use the abilities of the supports with the longest durations first so the On-Field DPS can fully maximize the ability with the shortest duration by the time you swap into them.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Skirk	Wriothesley Ayaka	- A Cryo On-Field DPS who uses Normal Attacks in their combo can be good alternatives for Skirk when paired with Yelan.
Escoffier	Shenhe Citlali Mika Charlotte	- Escoffier offers the most buffs for Skirk, largely due to the Cryo RES shred. Replacing her leads to lower overall damage potential from Skirk. - Shenhe and Citlali can slightly compensate the lack of Escoffier through the buffs they provide, either through their abilities or their equipment (Citlali with the Cinder City) set. - Mika, especially at C6, can increase Skirk's Normal Attack speed, which leads to a decent boost in DPS, but still better paired alongside Escoffier. He can also help stack Furina's Fanfare thanks to his healing. - Charlotte functions purely as a healer and, like Mika, can generate Fanfare stacks for Furina's DMG% buff.
Furina	Xingqiu Dahlia Candace Shenhe Citlali Kazuha	- Ideally Yelan will want to be paired with another Hydro teammate so she can have an easier time charging her Burst. - If Energy is not a problem for your Yelan, you can opt to slot in another Cryo buffer like Shenhe or Citlali instead. - A Freeze team with neither Escoffier nor Skirk can use Kazuha to provide Elemental RES shred and Elemental DMG% buffs.

Keep in mind that Escoffier's Cryo RES shred and Skirk's 'Return to Oblivion' passive are at its best when the entire team is composed of only Cryo and Hydro teammates, thereby restricting your character options if you have either of them in this team. Choosing teammates based on these restrictions ensures that you aren't accidentally gimping your damage by fielding any other character that doesn't match either of their criteria.

Of course, if neither Skirk nor Escoffier are present, this shouldn't pose an issue. Although Freeze teams without Escoffier may struggle to clear certain endgame content.

Lunar-Charged Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy For the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP% 4. Elemental Mastery
Flins	Bloodsoaked Ruins Night of the Sky's Unveiling x4 Main: ATK% / ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery
Ineffa	Fractured Halo Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main: ATK% / Elemental Mastery / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. Energy Recharge 3. ATK% until 2000 4. Elemental Mastery
Sucrose	Wandering Evenstar └ Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is the next best choice for Sucrose in this team for the ATK% buff. Viridescent Venerer x4 Main: Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery

This is the best Lunar-Charged team in terms of DPS potential and overall ability synergy. Flins' combos are likely to consist of Normal Attacks, which allows him to make full use of Yelan's Hydro application via her Elemental Burst. Ineffa and Sucrose are strong sources of Elemental Mastery to further increase the damage dealt by Flins, Ineffa herself and Lunar-Charged.

The biggest downside of this team is that Ineffa is the sole sustain unit, making other options less comfortable in practice.

Rotation Of Lunar-Charged Yelan Team

Flins has a special mechanic wherein he has an Elemental Burst that costs less Energy (and it has no closeup animation as a result), which is a mechanic he shares with Varesa. Because of this, their rotations and combos are likely to be very similar.

The general rotation of this team should be to deploy all of the support abilities first (from longest duration to shortest duration), then swap into the On-Field DPS to deal the most damage. Flins will take most of the field time, and is likely to be using his Elemental Skill enough times to fuel his discounted Burst (or mini-burst) several times until his support abilities expire.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Flins	Ineffa Cyno Wanderer Keqing Ifa	- If you have Ineffa, but no Flins, you can pair her and Yelan with Normal Attack On-Field characters who can reliably help trigger Lunar-Charged, like Keqing and Ifa. - With no Flins, your only option to activate Lunar-Charged is Ineffa herself. You can pair her with any of her substitute characters stated below. - Having neither Ineffa nor Flins results in the loss of Lunar-Charged since they're the only characters that can enable the conversion of Electro-Charged to Lunar-Charged. └ Jump to Electro-Charged Team
Ineffa	Ororon Fischl Shinobu	- Flins requires another Electro teammate to be able to use his smaller Bursts regularly within a rotation. Ororon and Fischl can help alleviate his Energy requirements. - Shinobu is a more forgiving option since she's the only other Electro sustain character available, which allows you to run Sucrose in the last slot instead. - You can use these substitutes alongside Ineffa in a Flin-less Lunar-Charged team.
Sucrose	Lan Yan Xilonen Bennett Kazuha	- Sucrose is Flins' premiere support option since she provides so much Elemental Mastery for both him and Ineffa. Replacing her leads to a decrease in total DPS, but it may be required if you do not have Ineffa, want to run a sustain character, and want to have Flins' damage be somewhat competitive. - Any of the above options can make decent alternatives for Sucrose if you have them. - Kazuha is not optimal for Flins, but can be used for an Ineffa-only Lunar-Charged team alongside a Normal Attack On-Field character.

Yelan is among the better Hydro options for Flins' best premium Lunar-Charged provided you have Ineffa. This is so that you still have the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign level (2 Nod-Krai characters) needed to trigger Flins' Symphony of Winter passive, which increases Lunar-Charged damage. His DPS without this passive active can be underwhelming otherwise.

If you do not have Ineffa, it may be best to consider using Aino instead of Yelan as the Hydro support in order to maintain the Ascendant Gleam Moonsign. Read more in-depth info about Flins' team options in this article. If you want to learn about Ineffa's teams instead, check here.

Hyperbloom Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy for the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Nahida	A Thousand Floating Dreams Deepwood Memories x4 Main: Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery 3. CRIT Rate or DMG
Xingqiu	Favonius Sword Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate 3. CRIT DMG 4. ATK%
Shinobu	Xiphos' Moonlight Flower of Paradise Lost x4 Main: Elemental Mastery/ Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery or Healing Bonus Sub: 1. Elemental Mastery 2. HP%

Yelan and Xingqiu are an established pair that applies consistent Hydro to an enemy while contributing a decent chunk of single-target damage. This single-target DPS potential can be further enhanced by the addition of Hyperbloom, which is a homing Dendro-damage reaction created by applying Electro to Dendro Cores (Dendro plus Hydro).

Rotation Of Hyperbloom Yelan Team

Nahida acts as the On-Field character that uses her Normal Attacks to quickly generate Dendro cores. Because of her lack of a shield or interruption resistance on this team, it may be hard to pilot at first since Nahida is likely to get knocked around or interrupted. Though the team at its core is very simple, it can require slightly more skill than teams with a shielder, since you'd need to accurately time your dodges.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Nahida	Clorinde Alhaitham Cyno Lauma	- The On-Field character is ideally a character that can use Normal Attacks to reliably apply Hydro using Yelan's Elemental Burst. - When fielding Clorinde, Alhaitham, or Cyno, you can opt to run Yelan as the solo Hydro instead to make a Hyperbloom team with decent Aggravate or Spread uptime ("Quickbloom"). - For Lauma, you want to keep her the only Nod-Krai character in the party so her "Light for the Frosty Night" passive allows the Hyperblooms to crit instead.
Xingqiu	Nahida Yaoyao Baizhu Lauma	- If Xingqiu is unavailable for a Hyperbloom team with Yelan, rather than replacing Xingqiu with another Hydro character you can instead slot in another Dendro character to create a "Hyperbloom and Quicken" (Quickbloom) team. - This means you are triggering the Quicken reaction (Dendro plus Electro or vice versa) on an enemy and, because you don't have too much Hydro application and have more Dendro application, you're able to maintain the Quicken aura to let a Dendro or Electro DPS still trigger Aggravate or Spread. - You still get a decent amount of Hyperblooms on top of that, which leads to a sizeable total DPS overall.
Shinobu	Raiden Shogun Ineffa Cyno	- The Electro trigger is the most important part of a Hyperbloom team, since its their Elemental Mastery (EM) that's taken into account for the Hyperbloom damage. - Raiden Shogun is built with EM as a Hyperbloom trigger and will only ever use her Elemental Skill in rotations. Using Raiden as the trigger means you won't have a sustain character on the team, so it may be more challenging to play. - Ineffa converts Electro-Charged into Lunar-Charged, which can be a nice bonus to have in teams like this. Her shield will act as the main sustain of the party. - Ineffa can be the better choice over Kuki provided she is paired with Yelan AND Xingqiu so she has enough Hydro to trigger Lunar-Charged reliably.

The core of a Hyperbloom team consists of a Dendro and Hydro character to create Dendro cores, and then an Electro character to apply Electro on the cores to trigger the reaction. In Yelan's case, you also want to use an On-Field character that can freely use Normal Attacks. She's also best paired with Xingqiu in some setups for more Dendro core generation and better single-target damage.

Bloom Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy for the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Lauma	Nightweaver's Looking Glass Silken Moon's Serenade x4 Main: Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery / Elemental Mastery Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery
Nilou	Key of Khaj-Nisut Any HP% x2 Any HP% x2 Main: x2 HP% / HP% / HP% Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% 3. Flat HP 4. Elemental Mastery
Baizhu	Prototype Amber Deepwood Memories x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / HP% / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP% 3. Elemental Mastery

Although Yelan's DMG% buff from her Elemental Burst doesn't affect Bloom or Lunar-Bloom damage, she can still be used as a Hydro applicator in a Nilou Bloom team with or without Lauma (though Lauma teams will obviously deal more damage). Yelan is a good source of single-target damage in a comp that's otherwise entirely AoE-oriented.

Rotation Of Bloom Yelan Team

This Bloom team variation uses Lauma as the On-Field Driver who'll utilize her Normal Attacks to enable Yelan's Elemental Burst to apply Hydro and thus create more Lunar-Blooms. The single-target DPS potential of this team is fairly decent, but due to the Hydro application having less AoE, it may have a bit of trouble into multi-target content.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Lauma	Nahida Yaoyao Baizhu	- Replacing Lauma disables the conversion of Bloom into Lunar-Bloom. - Any Dendro character that can apply the element rapidly and with ease can be considered substitutes for Lauma, albeit with the downside of you losing out on her high Lunar-Bloom damage from her Elemental Skill (Hold). - These characters will act as the On-Field driver who will be using their Normal Attacks to trigger the Bloom reactions alongside Yelan's Hydro application.
Baizhu	Kirara Kokomi Yaoyao	- Baizhu can be replaced by any other Dendro or Hydro sustain character. - Slotting in Kokomi means you have three Hydro characters in the team. This can overwhelm the Dendro aura unless you use a Dendro Catalyst as the On-Fielder, such as Lauma or Nahida.
Nilou	Kaveh Shinobu	- Replacing Nilou results in a less-optimal Bloom team due to the base Bloom reaction being too slow and having worse damage in comparison. - You can try using Kaveh as a substitute since he can quickly detonate nearby Dendro cores with his Elemental Skill. The DPS potential is obviously going to be less than what Nilou can offer, however. - If you don't have Nilou, you can pivot into a Hyperbloom team instead by pairing Yelan with an Electro trigger like Shinobu, an On-Field Dendro driver like Lauma, and an additional Hydro source like Xingqiu since Shinobu consolidates healing already. └ Jump to Hyperbloom Team

A Nilou Bloom team is restricted to only Dendro and Hydro units due to her passive, Court of Dancing Petals, which transforms Dendro Cores into Bountiful Cores, provided the team is only composed of the aforementioned elements. Not having the key units for a Bloom team will result in a noticeably weaker performance, with Nilou arguably being the most important unit overall.

Vaporize Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy for the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Hu Tao	Staff of Homa Crimson Witch of Flames x4 Main: HP% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. HP% 3. Elemental Mastery
Xingqiu	Favonius Sword Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate 3. CRIT DMG 4. ATK%
Zhongli	Black Tassel Tenacity of the Millelith x4 Main: HP% / HP% / HP% Sub: 1. HP% 2. Flat HP

Yelan's Hydro application combined with Xingqiu's makes for decent single-target damage and a consistent Hydro aura on an enemy that a Pyro DPS, like Hu Tao, can reliably trigger Vaporize on. Additionally, the Hydro Resonance that activates with both Yelan and Xingqiu present increases Max HP of everyone on the team, which is synergistic for both Hu Tao and Zhongli. Overall, this Vaporize comp variant has high damage potential into single-target content such as Stygian Onslaught.

Rotation Of Vaporize Yelan Team

Because Hu Tao wants all the field time on this team, her supports will be deploying their abilities first in order ability duration from longest to shortest. Using Zhongli's shield before Hu Tao allows you to maximize the shield duration while she's outputting damage, rather than wasting some of its duration and durability on the other supports.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Hu Tao	Arlecchino Diluc Yoimiya Klee Yanfei Xiangling	- Hu Tao can be replaced by an Pyro DPS that uses a lot of Normal Attacks and/or wants to trigger Vaporize.
Xingqiu	Mona Bennett	- Replacing Xingqiu may lead to uptime problems on the Hydro application with only Yelan. - Mona can be an okay substitute if you don't have Xingqiu, but the uptime on her Elemental Burst buff is too short in comparison to what Xingqiu brings. - If you're using a different Pyro On-Field DPS other than Hu Tao, you can field Bennett for buffing and sustain instead.
Zhongli	Kazuha Sucrose Layla Dehya Xilonen	- The last slot in a Hu Tao Vaporize team with Yelan will generally prefer a shielder rather than a healer due to her HP mechanic. Notably, Dehya's unique pseudo-shield Elemental Skill that redirects damage from the active character to Dehya is usable in this team as a shield replacement. - If you can play this team comfortably without healing or shielding, you can opt to instead focus on supplementing Zhongli's Elemental RES Shred by slotting in similar shredders like Kazuha and Sucrose. - You can also consider bringing a Cryo or Electro DPS like Fischl or Kaeya to trigger more reactions as a way of adding to the team DPS. It won't be as good damage-wise, but it can be decent compromise if you don't have key units. - You can also consider Xilonen an option for other Pyro DPSes, apart from Hu Tao, for healing and RES shred.

Yelan and Xingqiu as a core are a strong pair since they both supply each other Energy while maintaining a Hydro aura on an enemy with ease. This pair will generally do well alongside a Pyro DPS that can Normal Attack freely and can benefit from the amplified damage from a Vaporized hit.

Electro-Charged Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Aqua Simulacra └ If energy is a problem, you can use Favonius Warbow instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Ororon	Elegy for the End Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main: Energy Recharge or ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus or ATK% / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK% or Elemental Mastery
Xingqiu	Favonius Sword Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate 3. CRIT DMG 4. ATK%
Lan Yan	Sacrificial Fragments Viridescent Venerer x4 Main: ATK% or Energy Recharge or EM / Anemo DMG Bonus or ATK% / ATK% or CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. ATK% or CRIT 3. Elemental Mastery

Yelan can once again be paired alongside Xingqiu for strong single-target damage coupled with reliable Hydro application for an Electro-Charged team. Ororon's damage scales well in a dedicated Electro-charged team, so fielding him as the Electro character in this team allows him to perform at his best. Additionally, because Yelan and Xingqiu's Elemental Bursts are triggered with Normal Attacks, the fourth slot in the comp is usually for the On-Field Driver or DPS who can use their Normal Attacks to constantly trigger Electro-Charged on enemies.

Lan Yan is an ideal choice for the Driver slot since she provides sustain with her shield and Elemental RES shred by equipping the Viridescent Venerer set. She can also freely use her Normal Attacks without it being too disruptive for her core gameplay mechanics.

Rotation Of Electro-Charged Yelan Team

The rotation of this team follows a familiar scheme wherein you start with the characters with the longer ability durations, followed by the shortest durations. Lan Yan takes up most of the field time as the Driver so she naturally goes last.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Ororon	Fischl Cyno Yae MikoClorinde Raiden Shogun	- Any other Electro character can replace Ororon as the main Electro source for this team. - Characters like Cyno, Clorinde, and Raiden Shogun who prefer to be the On-Field character take on the role as the Driver and will spend most of the field-time.
Xingqiu	Beidou Kokomi Ayato Candace Faruzan	- You can substitute Xingqiu with someone like Ayato or Kokomi who will take on the task of being the driver for the Electro-Charged reaction. - You can also compliment the Electro character with Beidou instead, who provides a shield and AoE Electro damage that pairs well with a Electro-Charged team against multiple enemies. - Beidou is better alongside another Electro who can help charge her Elemental Burst, like Fischl. - Candace can be a viable option at C6 since she'll now apply AoE Hydro with this constellation level. - If you plan to use Wanderer as a Lan Yan replacement, you can swap the second Hydro character in this slot for Faruzan instead.
Lan Yan	Sucrose Chasca Wanderer Ifa Kazuha	- Other Normal Attack-based Anemo On-Field characters can be suitable replacements for Lan Yan, but you might have to run sustain options in the other slots to compensate. - The fourth slot is usually dedicated to the Driver or On-Field character, but if you've already fielded another On-Field character as the Electro or Hydro source (such as Clorinde or Ayato), then you can instead opt to use a supportive buffer or RES shredder in this slot. - You can also deploy non-Anemo units like Bennett or Xilonen for sustain and/or additional buffing.

This team comp has a lot of freedom regarding how you choose its party members, with the only strict requirement being how the On-Field character must be able to do Normal Attacks so you can use Yelan's Elemental Burst. Of course, you'd also need to ensure you have an Electro source to trigger the reaction.

Overload with Vaporize Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Elegy for the End └ If you have Yelan's C1, you can use opt to use her Signature Weapon, Aqua Simulacra, for better personal damage instead. Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Arlecchino	Crimson Moon's Semblance Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy x4 Main: ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge
Fischl	Polar Star Golden Troupe x4 Main: ATK% / Electro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATK%
Bennett	Skyward Blade Noblesse Oblige x4 Main: Energy Recharge / HP% / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%

The goal of this is to rapidly chain-trigger the Overload, Electro-Charged and Vape (hence why this team is sometimes referred to as "Overvape") reactions in quick succession by having an Electro, Pyro and Hydro character. Having a Pyro On-Field DPS like Arlecchino who can use Normal Attacks makes the ideal partner for Yelan in this type of comp.

Rotation Of Overvape Yelan Team

The order of using the abilities on this team will typically start from the support with the longest ability duration then followed by the shortest one. Because Arlecchino's Pyro infusion persists even after you swap out. you can refresh Oz's duration by using Fischl's Elemental Skill.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Arlecchino	Yoimiya Clorinde Wanderer Cyno Ayato	- Your On-Field DPS should be a Normal Attack-based DPS who can reliably trigger Yelan's Elemental Burst. - The preferred elements for this slot are Pyro, Hydro and Electro. Anemo can also work provided you balance it out by having the other key elements alongside them.
Fischl	Yae Miko Xiangling Mavuika Ineffa Ororon	- You can replace Fischl with another Electro, Pyro or Hydro character that can help trigger Electro-Charged, Vaporize or Overload. - Align the Sub-DPS element with your On-Field DPS element so you have enough element to trigger all three reactions. - For example, a Pyro On-Field DPS will want an Electro Sub-DPS in this slot. While a Hydro On-Field DPS would prefer a Pyro Sub-DPS instead.
Bennett	Thoma Beidou Kokomi Zhongli Lan Yan	- The last slot can be reserved for a sustain character that shields or heals. - You want them to either contribute their element to maintain the ability to trigger Electro-Charged, Overload and Vaporize consecutively. So they either can be Pyro, Electro or Hydro units, or be a Geo or Anemo sustain whose element won't completely interfere with the above reactions.

When building around this kind of team, the most important thing to note is to have the three important elements: Hydro, provided by Yelan, Pyro and then Electro. An Electro or Geo sustain won't be too much of a problem so feel free to make use of them here. Additionally, the other essential rule of this comp is how On-Field DPS should have a primarily Normal Attack-based playstyle in order to trigger Yelan's Elemental Burst.

Mono-Hydro Yelan Team Comp

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Yelan	Aqua Simulacra Emblem of Severed Fate x4 Main: Energy Recharge or HP% / Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. HP%
Furina	Splendor of Tranquil Waters Golden Troupe x 4 Main: Energy Recharge% or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: 1. HP% 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. Energy Recharge
Kokomi	Flowing Purity Ocean-Hued Clam x 4 Main: Energy Recharge% or HP% / HP% or Hydro DMG Bonus / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%
Kazuha	Xiphos' Moonlight Viridescent Venerer x 4 Main: Energy Recharge% or EM / EM / EM or CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword) Sub: 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery 3. CRIT Rate (with Favonius Sword)

A mono-element team usually indicates the existence of at least three of the same elemental type DPSes whose damage is further enhanced by an Anemo or Geo buffer or Elemental RES shredder. This Mono-Hydro team relies on sheer elemental damage alone and Furina and Yelan, with their generous DMG% buffs, allow the comp to be viable into some endgame content where the enemy isn't completely immune to Hydro.

Rotation Of Mono-Hydro Yelan Team

Because Kazuha's Elemental Shred with the Viridescent Venerer set is very short, having him go last among the Off-Field characters allows you to maximize the RES shred. Kokomi functions as the On-Field character since she can also apply Hydro with her Normal Attacks and can contribute decent damage while in her Elemental Burst form.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Kokomi	Ayato Noelle Chasca Wanderer	- The best alternative for Kokomi as the On-Field character is Ayato, since he typically uses his Normal Attacks in his combos, allowing him to trigger Yelan's Elemental Burst. - Noelle is also a decent substitute since she can also use her Normal Attacks while in her Burst state. She is better paired with Xingqiu rather than Kazuha to maximize the Hydro DMG. - Anemo On-Field DPSes like Chasca and Wanderer can equip Viridescent Venerer instead, since they can consolidate the On-Field Driver role with the RES shredder's.
Kazuha	Xilonen Sucrose Zhongli Xingqiu	- Any other character with innate Elemental RES shred can replace Kazuha in this team. If you're running Xilonen, it's best to slot-in someone other than Kokomi or Noelle into the team since Xilonen already provides healing. - Sucrose doesn't provide the same Elemental DMG% bonus as Kazuha, but can still equip Viridescent Venerer. - If you have an Anemo DPS included, you can deploy Xingqiu in this slot instead.
Furina	Xingqiu	- No other character provides the same amount of buffing power and personal DPS for this team like Furina. Because of this, she comes close to being mandatory for a Mono-Hydro team if you want to have viable DPS potential. - You can slot in Xingqiu as a substitute to at least elevate the single-target DPS of the team, but you're likely to get better results by deploying Yelan's other comp variations where she's paired with Xingqiu instead.

Furina's DMG% buffs paired alongside Yelan's makes for a potent increase to the teams DPS, which helps to designate Furina as a core part of a Mono-Hydro team. The difference in results of this comp with and without Furina are very noticeable, so it's best to only consider this team if you have Furina and if she is currently unoccupied by any other comp on your account.
