Want to know about the Yelan banner release date in Genshin Impact? Yelan has been in the RPG game’s files since the 2.0 update, and we’re getting more details about this new Genshin Impact character as time goes on. Her original datamined profile had her listed under the ‘tall woman’ model, and other rumours pointed to her being a hydro bow user.
The Genshin Impact Yelan banner release date has now been announced, and some of the other rumours have been cleared up too. A post on the official Genshin Impact Twitter account formally revealed the character towards the end of March 2022 along with Kuki Shinobu, just before the Genshin Impact 2.6 release date.
While it’s long been rumoured she would appear in patch 2.7, we didn’t get official confirmation until the version 2.7 livestream on May 20, confirming that she is indeed a Hydro bow user. Here’s everything else we know about Yelan in Genshin Impact so far, including her abilities and her banner release date.
Genshin Impact Yelan banner release date
Yelan’s banner release date has been confirmed for the first half of Genshin Impact 2.7. Yelan’s banner will be called ‘Discerner of Enigmas’, and the Genshin Impact 2.7 release date is May 31, 2022.
Genshin Impact Yelan abilites
Normal Attack – Stealthy Bowshot
- Normal attack: Perform up to four consecutive shots with a bow
- Charged attack: Perform a more precise aimed shot with increased damage. While aiming, water will accumulate around the arrowhead, and a fully charged shot will deal hydro damage. Yelan will enter a ‘Breakthrough’ state after spending five seconds off-field, which will decrease the charge time of the next charged aimed shot by 80%. Once charged while in Breakthrough, Yelan can fire a ‘Breakthrough Barb’ that will deal AoE Hydro damage based on Yelan’s maximum health
- Plunging attack: Fires a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE damage on impact
Elemental Skill – Lingering Lifeline
Yelan’s elemental skill fires off a ‘lifeline’ that can tractor her in rapidly, while also entangling and marking opponents along its path. At the end of the movement, the lifeline will explode and deal hydro damage to all marked opponents based on Yelan’s maximum health.
- Tap – rapidly move a certain distance forward
- Hold – continuously move forward at speed. During this time Yelan can control her spring direction and end her movement by using the skill again, Each opponent marked by the lifeline when it explodes triggers a 34% chance that Yelan will gain Breakthrough.
The base cooldown on Yelan’s elemental skill is ten seconds.
Elemental Burst – Depth-Clarion Dice
Yelan’s elemental burst deals AoE hydro damage, and creates something called an ‘Exquisite Throw’, which – going by Yelan’s love of gambling – could be a floating spectral dice.
