Skyward Atlas ★★★★★
Wandering Clouds
Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 12%. Normal Attack hits have a 50% chance to earn the favor of the clouds, which actively seek out nearby opponents to attack for 15s, dealing 160% ATK DMG. Can only occur once every 30s.

Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers ★★★
Heritage
When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their ATK increased by 24% for 10s. This effect can only occur once every 20s.
A fictional story of a band of five heroes who go off on a dragon hunt. It is poorly written and structurally incoherent. Its value lies in the many lessons that can be learned from failure.

Sacrificial Fragments ★★★★
Sacrificial Fragments ★★★★
Composed
After damaging an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30s.
A weathered script, the text of which is no longer legible. A cursed item eroded by the winds of time.
The best weapon for almost all teams would be Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayer, but if your on-field DPS doesn’t benefit from the ATK boost, she should use a weapon that gives high ATK, such as Skyward Atlas. If Lan Yan is the on-field DPS, she should go with Sacrificial Fragments.

Video Summary
Lan Yan Build Guide
This Lan Yan build guide explores how to utilize this character as either a defensive support or an on-field carry. By leveraging her unique elemental shield mechanics and Anemo abilities, she provides significant utility to high-tier teams. This analysis covers the best weapons and artifact sets to optimize her performance in various roles.
Best Weapons
- Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers: This is a top choice for a support role to buff your primary damage dealer. It is highly effective when rotating Lan Yan into teams with Arlecchino or Neuvillette to provide a massive attack boost.
- Sacrificial Fragments: Use this weapon to reset her elemental skill cooldown and increase her Elemental Mastery. It is particularly useful for carry builds that rely on frequent skill usage and consistent elemental reactions to maintain field presence.
- Prototype Amber: This catalyst provides valuable energy restoration and team-wide healing after using an Elemental Burst. It is an excellent option for players needing extra survivability and lower energy requirements for their defensive support setup.
- Skyward Atlas: A strong offensive choice for an on-field carry build that focuses on raw damage output. It provides a high base attack and elemental damage bonus, making it ideal for maximizing Lan Yan's personal contribution.
- Favonius Codex: This weapon is essential for meeting high energy recharge needs across the entire team. It acts as a battery, ensuring that Lan Yan and her teammates can use their bursts consistently during every rotation.
Best Artifacts
- Viridescent Venerer: This is the premier choice for both support and carry roles to shred enemy elemental resistances. Use Triple ATK main stats for a support build or Triple Mastery for a carry build to maximize Swirl damage.
- Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City: This set is featured for its ability to support team mechanics through elemental interactions. It provides a niche alternative for specific team compositions that benefit from the unique buffs provided by this artifact set.
Teams and Stat Priorities
- Stat Priorities: Focus on ATK percent for support roles and Elemental Mastery for carry builds. Aim for an Energy Recharge target of 170 percent to 175 percent to ensure her elemental shield and burst are always available.
- Arlecchino Vaporize Team: This composition uses Arlecchino, Furina, and Bennett with Lan Yan providing shielding and resistance shred. It focuses on maximizing Arlecchino's Pyro damage through consistent Hydro application and Anemo utility.
- Neuvillette Hypercarry Team: Lan Yan joins Neuvillette, Furina, and Bennett to create a powerful Hydro-centric team. Her shield protects the active character while Viridescent Venerer shreds Hydro resistance to boost Neuvillette's massive charged attack damage.
- Taser Carry Team: A team featuring Lan Yan, Fischl, Xingqiu, and Yelan focuses on Electro-Charged reactions. Lan Yan acts as the on-field driver, triggering constant Swirls and maintaining high pressure through rapid elemental applications.
- Mavika Overvape Team: This setup includes Lan Yan, Fischl, Xingqiu, and Mavika for a mix of Overload and Vaporize reactions. Lan Yan provides the necessary defensive utility and grouping to keep enemies within the range of off-field abilities.
