It would have been a huge mistake. Yelan Character Review!

You've probably seen a lot of content talking about how powerful Yelan is, or how useful she is for so many teams, but a lot of the time that's not enough. For most people, it's important to pick and choose which characters to pull for, and often their strength in battle is way down the list when it comes to deciding whether to go for it, at least that’s how it is for me.

Personally, I thought I was going to skip Yelan. I was confident. I had zero interest in her. I would not spend my primos on her banner.

I was wrong.

    Everyone else yells at you to hurry up when you dash, meanwhile sis just wants you to sit back, relax and enjoy Teyvat
  • @theclassiestcass
    Not me actually taking notes during this video in order to make sure my newly acquired Yelan is up to par 🧐 In all seriousness though, another excellent video!! I love how your passion for not only the characters but also the game itself shines through in your explanations. If I hadn't already have my interest in Yelan piqued because of you, this video would've done it!! Thank you for this amazing video!! 💜
  • @manningforever1
    I started in 2.7 originally really wanting Mona, until I played Yelans trial. All my primos went to her and I couldn’t imagine my Genshin experience without her😭
  • @raptori
    100% - I especially thought her running pose during her skill looks really goofy... still do, though you do get used to it a bit! 😂
  • Your videos are so lovely. They're relaxing and you're easy to listen to. After not playing genshin for a few months watching your videos got me back into it slowly! <3
  • @ameliatheressa1911
    my main is hutao..whatever unit that could buff my hutao i will pull that char without hesitation..btw her E is so helpful during exploring dessert sumeru..pair with sayu = unlimited sprint
  • @Theachen7
    O/ if kiki inspired you to get yelan..! I love my yelan so much, thank you for yet another wonderful video!
  • @chaosunraveled
    I almost skipped Yelan on this banner, but I just couldn't. She escaped me on her last rerun & I couldn't let it happen again.😭 Excellent video that was especially helpful to me right now! FIRST & I love yooouwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ❤❤❤
  • @elyav1724
    Among all vids abt Yelan, yours is the one made me pull for her. I got her on 54 pity while still watching 😂😂 thanks!
  • @SunderMun
    My main hang up is that I've farmed for Childe, still intend to get him in the next banner in a couple of weeks and she requires the same resources as him. I'd have to do the Oceanid fight so many more times and that is...a thought to behold after having done it so many times thus far lol
  • @XiaoTuZi_98
    I really love her gameplay but there are so many characters that will be coming next patch that interest me more with the same element 🥺🥺 so maybe after i have the ones i'm interested in i will give a try again in her next banner 🥰🥰🥰
  • @iohannroos
    i watched two videos and subscribed! thanks youtube algorithm!!
  • @shelfyre3504
    Bestie.... I think I'm using my gaurantee on Yelan now 🙈 Hopefully she comes ASAP so I can save the rest of my primos for my future husband, Wriothesley. Amazing video as always, thanks for always keeping me informed and knowledgeable about Genshin Impact! 💜 (also PS: I already pulled Aqua Simulacra on the weapon banner bc I was itching to wish.... so I guess Yelan shall have it!)
  • @82ilerya
    I was convinced to skip - and I did, but after that knowing how much I loved her in the Chasm quest and the trial, I have no idea how my helmet stayed on. Did I cry when she came back this year with Shenhe whom I had also been waiting for? Yes. Yes I did. Did I wish for them both regardless? ABSOLUTELY! Yelan is just so much fun even if she didn't do any real numbers the skill dash is probably the most fun I've ever had with a character. Probably why I'm a fan of Lynette is that she has that same kind of dash to her. It's a fun mechanic that I adore! Yelan is definitely wonderful and deserving of all the love!
  • @Samurai78420
    Love this. I decided to spend some money on Yelan after I lost my 50/50. Wasn't cheap, but for me, it was worth every penny. She immediately became my favorite character, and I already had a very well built Xingqiu. I'm not anywhere near qualified to suggest that Yelan is a must pull...but to anyone on the fence trying to decide, do it. I absolutely promise you wont regret it.
  • @anyaaa2801
    I didn’t skip her the first time. I just didn’t have any primos.
  • @ronaldstanford1725
    Yelan really got me because when I first seen her I used to ask what was all the fuss about, then when I ran her in the trial I knew I was going to pull for her no matter what and I did: got her last night and I am not disappointed at all. I'm going start start building her up instead of my Mona asap!!!
  • @iainbain9508
    Yelan was my first 5 star back in 3.4 when I had only been playing a month. Agree with everything you say about how fun (and powerful) she is. She is so good in the overworld that that was the biggest reason why I went for her C1 this patch (that and the fact I can switch to a non-ER weapon with it). Both times I’ve had to spend about 150 wishes to get her but I would do it again in a heartbeat.
  • @bangtanssera
    For me it’s also combat style which is so far more important than numbers or whatever else. If I like the combat style I’ll manage to make a team with the character in question and will not be struggling building them to their highest potential on my account. With Yelan & Lyney who I got recently (just because he’s like a genshin version of Taehyung, don’t hate me for that it’s just a silly headcanon of mine) it’s good taht with nice combat style also good numbers come, for me it’s more of an additional feature rather than a sole reason to pull
  • @sweetwinter4803
    I got her by accident, I was trying to build pity for Neuvillet, and got her at pity 37, at first I was disappointed because my guaranteed was ruined, I've never won a 50/50 so I mainly rely on guaranteed to get the characters I wanted, but surprisingly she was fun to play with, I'm enjoying her quite a lot and I somehow had pretty much all the materials to max her out, I genuinely wanted to save for neuvillete but she was a pleasant surprise nonetheless, I'll try pull for him either way and if I lose the 50/50 (which I'm certain I would, I have zero hope) I'll at least have a guaranteed for foçalore.
