Lan Yan is an Anemo shielder inGenshin Impact. She suffers from a scaling issue that divides her between two entirely different stats inGenshin Impact. She either scales with ATK% and functions as a shielder Support, or she scales with Elemental Mastery and operates as a quick in-and-out Sub-DPS that deals mediocre DMG.
This scaling problem used to affect the older 4-star units, which had multiple underwhelming roles determined by which stats you chose to develop, similar toXinyan inGenshin Impact.
Lan Yan Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
If you dig deep into Lan Yan’s kit, you’ll find that she’s only useful for her shield, which is not comparable tothe best shielders inGenshin Impact. Not only that, shielding, in general, is not that important during combat since most ofGenshin Impact’s content is a race against time trials. With all this considered, it’s still better tobuild Lan Yan on ATK%since that’s her only useful utility.
For the best artifacts for Lan Yan inGenshin Impact, build Lan Yan with4pc of Viridescent Venerersince it will give her the ability to reduce enemies’ resistance to the Element she Swirls. If you already have a VV user or don’t want to build her with this set, you can always place4pc of Noblesse Obligeto increase your team’s ATK by 20%.
Lan Yan Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
Since it’s better for Lan Yan to operate as aSupport inGenshin Impact, players can give her weapons that amplify this quality. Starting fromStarcaller’s Watch, building Lan Yan with this Catalyst gives her the ability to buff the main DPS’ DMG by 28%, which can be super useful for the team.
On the other hand,Hakushin Ringis a great option if you’re pairing Lan Yan with anElectro unit inGenshin Impact. The 4-star F2P weapon grants Lan Yan and all Electro units in her team up to 20% extra Elemental DMG.
Finally, you can always build any Catalyst user inGenshin ImpactwithThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayersto allow Lan Yan to massively buff the next character’s ATK%.
