Recently, there has been a spate of Genshin Impact leaks depicting Yelan’s gear ahead of the 2.7 update
Unfortunately, none of the leaks includes actual gameplay or other evidence. At the moment, all that is known about her is that she is a 5-star Hydro Bow user with a figure (following recent Genshin Impact leaks).
It is important to understand that not every Genshin Impact leak is authentic. Leaks from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) aren’t always reliable. There are a lot of bogus leaks these days.
Genshin Impact 2.7 Update Leaks Reveal Yelan Character Kit
The first unconfirmed leak to be covered comes from NGA on Reddit’s Genshin Impact Leaks thread. The following is what it says when translated into English.
“Needs charged attacks, yes. Charged attack DPS, no. Buffs (?), depends. Already known that Xiangling doesn’t work well (snapshots). Edit – the “backstage” part in full translates to off-field hydro application. The leaker also says the HP scaling might not mean much since Xingqiu’s healing (which isn’t the main use of him) scales off HP too.”
If this is correct, Yelan will be yet another sub-DPS alternative. Xingqiu’s healing, for example, scales off of HP, thus the HP per cent of her kit doesn’t necessarily mean she has to develop HP. However, no specific figures are provided.
Yelan is rumoured to be included in the Genshin 2.7 patch, which is quite likely considering the model leaks. According to prior sources, Yelan will also have the “Lady” model, while Kuki Shinobu would have the “Girl” model, and Ayato will get the “Male” model.
Furthermore, characters like Ningguang and Beidou use the “Lady” model, and Yelan possesses one as well.
She’s been identified as a Hydro Bow user and has a model that’s been leaked via the 2.6 betas. A Hydro Vision is adorning her left hip, hinting that she utilises Hydro. As a result, Yelan’s inclusion in the Genshin 2.7 upgrade appears inevitable.
There is no explanation as to how her kit is meant to work, as there was in the last leak. Except for the fact that Yelan will be beneficial off the field, there are no numbers nor expectations that should be placed on her.
Yelan is scheduled to make her functional debut with the 2.7 updates, according to a couple of Genshin Impact leaks. It hasn’t been announced yet, but if it does, her release date would be either.
