Instructions to build a squad with Yelan in Genshin Impact 2.7

Developer miHoYo has allowed players to pre-load the Genshin Impact 2.7 update, which means that this update will be officially released soon.

In this update, there will be a new character named Yelan - who uses the Hydro bow. Information about her skills has been leaked for a long time and it can be seen that Yelan is a very versatile Hydro Sub DPS. In this article, let's explore the best lineups with Yelan in Genshin Impact 2.7.

Yelan Vaporize Team

Hu Tao + Yelan + Kazuha + Zhongli

With Yelan acting like Xingqiu, she could replace Xingqiu on Team Hu Tao. This allows the player to slow Xingqiu on the second Abyss team if needed. Although C6 Xingqiu is more useful, Yelan's damage is still better. One of Yelan's passive buffs increases the active character's damage while the fury skill is active, up to a whopping 50%.

Hu Tao is this team's main DPS, triggering a powerful Vaporize response to Charged Attacks. Zhongli supports Hu Tao with her shield while Kazuha groups enemies and increases Vaporize damage with her buff.

The player can replace Kazuha with Sucrose and Zhongli with Noelle. Hu Tao prefers shielding to healing, as she always has to keep her HP below 50%. Players need to obtain Tenacity of the Millelith for Zhongli and Venerer placed on Kazuha to increase damage/reduce res.

Yelan Permafreeze Team

Ayaka + Shenhe + Yelan + Venti

All characters with the off-field Hydro app can work very well on Permafreeze teams, and Yelan is no exception to this rule. The player can use any Permafreeze duo, such as Ayaka/Ganyu DPS and Shenhe/Diona/Chongyun, as Cryo Support in this team.

Yelan's main role is to use his abilities and apply Hydro so that the main DPS can freeze enemies forever. Ayaka or Ganyu will freeze enemies with their full skill sets.

A full 5-star team with Shenhe as Cryo's support would be best, but that requires a lot of luck and investment. The team's final position can be any character, but players should avoid players who can activate Shatter (claymore, polearm and Geo users), as they will break Freeze. A pin character like Anemo Traveler, Venti or Kazuha can take the position.

Yelan Electro-Charged Team

Raiden Shogun + Kujou Sara + Bennett + Yelan

Raiden Shogun is currently the strongest character in Genshin Impact, and Yelan can definitely support her in the Electro-Charged team, replacing Xingqiu. In this team, Raiden Shogun will be the main DPS with the support of Yelan and Kujou Sara. She also gives Yelan energy regeneration, making her burst more stable.

Kujou Sara can be the highest level support for Raiden Shogun if it reaches C6. Otherwise, gamers can replace them with other support characters like Kazuha or Fischl. Bennett is the final piece, helping the team heal and increase attack power. Players can deal massive damage with Raiden's burst if they deal with it with Yelan's passive.
