What it costs to finish this character
Ascension alone: 760 resin (boss drops only) · talents alone: 590 resin.
Talent domain: Prosperity, open Monday, Thursday, Sunday.
A Crown of Insight is needed for the tenth level of each talent, and crowns are not farmable at any resin price — they come from events.
Materials and mora above are exact, straight from the game’s own tables. The resin figure and the day count divide by an average drop per run, which the game does not publish — they are a community-measured mean, not a promise.

Talents
Stealthy Bowshot
Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow.
Charged Attack
Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG.
While aiming, flowing water will accumulate on the arrowhead. A fully charged torrential arrow will deal Hydro DMG.
Breakthrough
Yelan will enter a "Breakthrough" state after spending 5s out of combat, which will cause her next Charged Aimed Shot to have 80% decreased charge time, and once charged, she can fire a "Breakthrough Barb" that will deal AoE Hydro DMG based on Yelan's Max HP.
Plunging Attack
Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Lingering Lifeline
Fires off a Lifeline that allows her to move rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path.
When this rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP.
Tap
Moves a certain distance forward swiftly.
Hold
Engages in continuous, swift movement, during which Yelan's resistance to interruption is increased.
During this time, Yelan can control this rapid movement and end it by using this Skill again.
Additionally, each opponent marked by the Lifeline when it explodes grants Yelan a 34% chance to reset her Breakthrough state.
Not until she begins to tug on the strings do evildoers, crooks, and scheming villains alike know that there is no escape.

·Will occur each time Yelan's Lifeline explodes and hits opponents.
"A gambling addiction is going to do you no good. I mean, let me just do the math for you as the dealer. What do you think your odds of beating me are, when I have seven dice and you, only one?"

Weapons and artifacts
UNSURE This is not a tier list and not community guidance — this product has neither. It is a mechanical shortlist, and the rule is printed so you can check it: Bows of 4★ and above whose secondary stat is one this character’s ascension stat scales with, ordered by base attack at level 90. Weapon passives are not weighed, because a passive is an effect and not a number.
| Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK at 90 | Secondary stat |
|---|---|---|---|
 Skyward Harp | 5★ | 674 | CRIT Rate |
 The Daybreak Chronicles | 5★ | 674 | CRIT DMG |
 Amos' Bow | 5★ | 608 | ATK% |
 Polar Star | 5★ | 608 | CRIT Rate |
 Thundering Pulse | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 The First Great Magic | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage | 5★ | 608 | CRIT DMG |
 Aqua Simulacra | 5★ | 542 | CRIT DMG |
| Set | Two-piece | Four-piece |
|---|---|---|
| Berserker | CRIT Rate +12% | When HP is below 70%, CRIT Rate increases by an additional 24%. |
| Heart of Depth | Hydro DMG Bonus +15% | After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s. |
| Nymph's Dream | Hydro DMG Bonus +15% | After Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts hit opponents, 1 stack of Mirrored Nymph will be triggered, lasting 8s. When under the effect of 1, 2, or 3 or more Mirrored Nymph stacks, ATK will be increased by 7%/16%/25%, and Hydro DMG Bonus will be increased by 4%/9%/15%. Mirrored Nymph stacks created by Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts exist independently. |
To turn this into a real recommendation section, add a build dataset — per character, the weapons and sets a community source actually recommends, with the rotation each assumes. Nothing in the game’s published data contains that judgement, and a ranking invented here would be indistinguishable from a researched one, which is why there is not one.
Teams
To build a team section, add team data. Which characters go together is judgement about rotations, energy and shielding that this product does not receive and will not guess at.
