Synergy Of Vaporize Yelan Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Hu Tao | She can utilize the coordinated attack of Yelan & Xingqiu. Hu Tao does not need much healing so the ample healing from Xingqiu's barrier is enough. |
| Xingqiu | He provides off-field Hydro DMG like Yelan, additional buffs thru Freedom-Sworn, & enables Hydro resonance that is beneficial for the team. |
| Zhongli | He is an excellent shielder who can protect Hu Tao while reducing the elemental RES of nearby enemies. |
This team aims to funnel all buffs to trigger consistent vaporize to defeat the enemies. A healer is less likely needed with Zhongli's shield and Hu Tao's kit.
Pros & Cons Of Vaporize Yelan Team
| Pros | - Hu Tao can deal heavy damage thru consistent vaporize reaction - Hydro resonance can boost the damage output of the team |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Disadvantageous when facing an opponent that can ignore the shield such as corrosion debuff |
Rotation Of Vaporize Yelan Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Zhongli's Skill for shield and monolith |
| 2 | Switch to Xingqiu |
| 3 | Use Xingqiu's Burst & Skill for Hydro application & coordinated attack |
| 4 | Switch to Yelan |
| 5 | Use Yelan's Burst & Skill to inflict Hydro DMG and produce Hydro particles |
| 6 | Switch to Hu Tao |
| 7 | Use Hu Tao's Skill for infusion |
| 8 | Utilize Hu Tao's Normal/Charged Attack until infusion is gone |
| 9 | Repeat from step 1 |
Since Hu Tao's infusion disappears when switching to another character, you must set up first before using Hu Tao's Skill.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Hu Tao | DilucKlee | - Reserve this slot for a Pyro DPS |
| Xingqiu | XianglingNahidaKazuhaMona | - Use this slot for an off-field DPS - Support buffer is also a good option for this slot - When Dendro is included, it is easier for Yelan to trigger vaporize due to burning reaction |
| Zhongli | KiraraBennettJean | - Aside from shielder, this slot can also be used for healer |
Zhongli's shield is durable & convenient to the point that you can opt not to have a healer in the team. If you do not have him, choose a healer that would be useful for the main DPS.

Synergy Of Machine Gun Yelan Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fischl | At C6, Oz releases an additional projectile whenever Yoimiya performs a normal ATK. With Thundering Fury x4, triggering Electro-related reactions reduces Skill's CD which is great for sustaining Oz's presence on the field. |
| Yelan | An excellent off-field Hydro DPS who is recommended to pair with a DPS character that utilizes normal ATK. Also, Elegy for the End provides additional buffs that are beneficial for the team. |
| Zhongli | A great shielder who can decrease the enemies' resistance and provide ATK buff to the team with Tenacity of the Millelith x4. |
The objective of this team is to enable coordinated attacks with Yoimiya. This team highlights the coordinated attacks in quick succession.
Echoes Of An Offering Vs Shimenawa's Reminiscence
| Artifact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Echoes of an Offering | - Can potentially increase each Normal ATK - Inconsistent damage output - Can freely use Burst which is advantageous for additional damage, especially if Yoimiya is C1 or above |
| Shimenawa's Reminiscence | - Improved Normal ATK by consuming energy - Consistent damage output - Restricts the free use of Burst |
It is true that the 4-piece effect of both artifacts is beneficial for Yoimiya. Use the artifact with better sub-stats and the one you can confidently use.
Pros & Cons Of Machine Gun Yelan Team
| Pros | - Powerful against single targets, especially if the target is a single boss - Can inflict damage & trigger elemental reaction simultaneously thru Yoimiya's normal ATK |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Yelan needs to have decent ER value for consistent Burst usage - When affected by Cryo, Yoimiya's normal ATK speed is slowed which also affects the frequency & performance of coordinated attacks - Difficult to utilize if you are facing an enemy with a debuff that can ignore shield such as corrosion |
Rotation Of Machine Gun Yelan Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Zhongli's Skill for shield |
| 2 | Switch to Yelan |
| 3 | Use Yelan's Burst & Skill to inflict Hydro DMG and produce Hydro particles |
| 4 | Switch to Fischl |
| 5 | Use Fischl's Skill to inflict initial Electro DMG and summon Oz |
| 6 | Switch to Yoimiya |
| 7 | Use Yoimiya's Skill and utilize it until the duration ends |
| 8 | Repeat from step 1 |
Occasionally, switch to Zhongli to refresh the shield before using Yoimiya's Elemental Skill. In addition, you can summon Oz through Fischl's Burst so you can use it in case her Skill is still in cooldown.
When To Use Yoimiya's Burst
Use Yoimiya's Burst freely if you are using Echoes of an Offering x4. However, you need to have at least 30 energy to activate the 4-piece effect buff of Shimenawa so you can only use her Burst with Shimenawa's Reminiscence x4 if you can accumulate 30 energy while her Skill is down.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Yoimiya | WandererCynoAyato | - Choose a main DPS who can perform swift Normal ATK in succession |
| Fischl | XingqiuRaiden ShogunAlbedoDehya | - Dedicate this slot for another character with coordinated attack |
| Zhongli | BaizhuLaylaDionaBennett | - Choose a support with a shield, heal, or both - Bennett is an excellent healer since he can significantly increase Yoimiya's ATK |
If you can include another Pyro character, you can enable Pyro resonance which increases the team's ATK by 25%.
Coordinated Attack & Off-Field DPS
Aside from coordinated attack, you can also go for an off-field DPS as this type of ability is still useful for dealing damage to the enemies.

Synergy Of Hyperbloom Yelan Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Xingqiu | He provides off-field Hydro DMG, can synergize with Kuki's electro application, & enable Hydro resonance which improves Kuki's healing & Yelan's damage output. |
| Nahida | She acts as the main DPS of the team who can sustain the Dendro application and increase the team's EM which boosts the damage of Hyperblooms. |
| Kuki Shinobu | Her Skill can heal the active character and the Electro application makes her high EM significant for boosting the damage out Hyperbloom projectiles. |
The objective of this team is to produce Dendro cores and transform them into hyperbloom projectiles thru Kuki's Skill. The projectiles are homing which chase an opponent even if it is quickly moving or afloat.
Pros & Cons Of Hyperbloom Yelan Team
| Pros | - Kuki's Skill is efficient since it heals and transforms Dendro cores simultaneously - Nahida can consistently produce Dendro cores with Yelan & Xingqiu's coordinated attack |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Kuki consumes HP whenever Skill is used so she needs on-field time to recover - Could be difficult to utilize when facing an enemy that has a debilitating debuff such as corrosion - Less effective against opponents that are immune or resistant to Dendro |
Rotation Of Hyperbloom Yelan Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Nahida's Burst for EM buff |
| 2 | Use Nahida's Skill for mark |
| 3 | Switch to Xingqiu |
| 4 | Use Xingqiu's Burst & Skill for Hydro application |
| 5 | Switch to Yelan |
| 6 | Use Yelan's Burst & Skill to inflict Hydro DMG and produce Hydro particles |
| 7 | Switch to Kuki |
| 8 | Use Kuki's Elemental Skill for Electro application |
| 9 | Switch to Nahida |
| 10 | Use Nahida's Normal ATK until coordinated attack & Kuki's Skill is gone |
| 11 | Repeat from step 1 |
Even if Kuki's Burst does not deal much damage, its Electro application does not have a cooldown which is useful for transforming Dendro cores quickly. Also, it is advantageous for decreasing the enemy's DEF with C2 Nahida.
When To Use Kuki's Burst
Kuki's Burst does not have an internal cooldown so it can consecutively apply Electro and trigger any possible reactions when the enemy inside the AoE. It is recommended to use when both Nahida's Burst & Xingqiu's barrier are active.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Xingqiu | AyatoKeqingAlhaitham | - Choose a melee DPS with either Dendro, Hydro, or Electro for consistent hyperbloom |
| Nahida | Dendro TravelerColleiBaizhuYaoyao | - The rate of Dendro application is vital because the production of Dendro cores depends on it - Go for Dendro healer if the team does not have a healer yet |
| Kuki Shinobu | FischlYae MikoRaiden ShogunElectro TravelerDori | - Include a good Electro applicator - Go for off-field Electro DPS with EM build if the team already has a healer |
As long as Hydro & Dendro can produce Dendro cores, the Electro character can transform it to hyperbloom projectile that inflicts damage simultaneously with the melee DPS.

Synergy Of Bloom Yelan Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Nilou | Nilou upgrades Dendro cores into Bountiful cores if the team consists of only Hydro & Dendro characters. |
| Nahida | She can sustain the Dendro application and increase the team's EM which boosts the damage of Bountiful cores. When C2 is unlocked, Bountiful cores have a chance to CRIT. |
| Baizhu | An excellent healer with a descent shield that does not hinder Nilou's passive talent. Also, he can periodically use his Skill more than once with Sacrificial Fragments. |
The objective of this team is to produce Bountiful cores as fast as possible. Since Bountiful cores can be produced in a Dendro-Hydro team with Nilou, this team comp is limited but still effective nevertheless.
Pros & Cons Of Bloom Yelan Team
| Pros | - Can deal powerful damage with Bountiful cores - Slow from Cryo is not a problem since it does not affect the explosion frequency of Bountiful cores |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Bountiful cores are less effective against an opponent that moves a lot or afloat most of the time - Nilou's Bountiful cores could be weak against enemies with Dendro resistance |
Rotation Of Bloom Yelan Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Nahida's Burst for EM buff |
| 2 | Use Nahida's Skill for mark |
| 3 | Switch to Yelan |
| 4 | Use Yelam's Burst & Skill for Hydro DMG & coordinated attack |
| 5 | Switch to Baizhu |
| 6 | Use Baizhu's Burst for shield |
| 7 | Switch to Nilou |
| 8 | Use Nilou's Skill once for Hydro infusion ※ Use Nilou's Normal ATK until the infusion is gone Use Nilou's Skill thrice for Hydro aura ※ Switch to Nahida and use Nahida's Normal ATK until aura is gone |
| 9 | Repeat from step 1 |
You can choose between Nilou and Nahida for the active character when the setup is done since either of them can effectively produce Bountiful cores.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Nilou | Kaveh | - Kaveh can also improve the damage output of Dendro cores but not as powerful as Nilou's Bountiful cores |
| Nahida | Dendro TravelerColleiKiraraXingqiu | - Use this slot for an off-field DPS |
| Baizhu | YaoyaoKokomi | - Hydro healer is also a good option |
This team is restricted to Hydro-Dendro and Nilou is a must-have because of her Bountiful cores. Choose 2 Hydro & 2 Dendro for optimized team comp to enable double resonance.

Synergy Of Explorer Yelan Team
| Character | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wanderer | He is a nimble character who is very useful for exploration and a powerful Anemo DPS who can make the most out of Yelan's coordinated attack. |
| Dehya | A great support who can periodically inflict Pyro DMG & increase the active character's resistance to interruption. Her passive is very useful for exploration during daytime. |
| Sayu | A decent healer with a Skill that is convenient for exploring. Sayu can provide an ATK buff with Noblesse Oblige x4 & Wolf's Gravestone. |
The objective of this team is to provide convenience when exploring the open world without sacrificing the team's battle capabilities.
Dehya Is Useful For Farming
With Dehya, breaking ores is easy. You can quickly harvest ores along the way which is great for stockpiling.
Pros & Cons Of Explorer Yelan Team
| Pros | - Nimble movement which lets you explore faster than usual - Average damage output that can clear enemies in the open world - Can break different ores for enhancing & crafting weapons |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Wanderer is susceptible to interruption, especially when Dehya's Skill is not active |

Sequence When Traversing A Long Distance
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Wanderer's Skill for brief movement speed boost ↳ Can also be used to ascend |
| 2 | Switch to Yelan |
| 3 | Use Yelan's Skill for temporary movement speed boost ↳ Can be used more than once at C1 or with Sacrificial Bow |
| 4 | Switch to Sayu |
| 5 | Use Sayu's Skill for a brief speed boost |
| 6 | Repeat to step 1 |
Wanderer's Skill has a secondary bar that acts as the duration and stamina of his Skill. Meanwhile, the Skill of Yelan & Sayu lets you move forward swiftly for a fixed duration.
Sequence When In Combat
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use Dehya's Skill for coordinated attack & resistance to interruption |
| 2 | Switch to Yelan |
| 3 | Use Yelan's Burst & Skill for Hydro DMG & coordinated attack |
| 4 | Switch to Wanderer |
| 5 | Use Use Wanderer's Elemental Skill and utilize it until the duration ends |
| 6 | Repeat to step 1 |
While Dehya's AoE is active, Wanderer cannot be interrupted while midair, and Dehya also receives a portion of the damage received by Wanderer.
Dehya's Passive Talent For Movement Speed Bonus
When exploring during the daytime (6:00 - 18:00), your movement speed is increased by 10%. This stacks with Anemo resonance and the temporary speed boost from the Skill of Wanderer, Yelan, & Sayu.
Sayu's Burst For Healing & ATK Buff
Whether healing or ATK buff from Noblesse Oblige x4, you can use Sayu's Burst in combat according to your preference.
Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wanderer | LynetteXiaoKazuhaVenti | - You can replace Wanderer with a character whose talent can either be used for displacement or reduce the stamina cost when sprinting, gliding, or gliding - Much better if Anemo for easy activation of Anemo resonance |
| Dehya | RosariaThomaZhongli | - Rosaria has the same passive as Dehya but takes effect during nighttime (18:00 - 6:00) - A tall character is also advantageous for exploration since the distance travelled of initial sprint is greater compared to a short character |
| Sayu | JeanDionaBarbara | - Jean is a good healer that can provide attack & movement speed bonus at C2 - Diona can heal and produce a shield that can protect and boost the movement speed of the active character while the shield is active - Barbara, aside from healing, can reduce stamina consumption while her Skill is active |
As much as possible, enable the Anemo resonance for reduced stamina consumption & Skill cooldown, and movement speed bonus.
Benefits Of Anemo Resonance
The reduced stamina consumption from Anemo resonance can stack with the passive of characters that reduce the stamina consumption of sprinting, gliding, & climbing.
