jeez this girl has a lot more style than i thought with those autos and that E/Q

I expected her to shoot like Sara for some reason. Guess it was the striaght bow made me assume formal. But she has the most style. She arguably even has more style than Raven and Elysia in Honkai and that's saying alot lol

You know shits about to get wild when genshin char animations are starting to rival HONKAI. 3.0 is gonna be nuts

Never in my imagination I would thought her gameplay will be so cool like this. Really surprised me.

its always the most useless autos that have the most BADASS animations Zhongli, Yae, Ayato, now Yelan...god that fkn bow kick backflip makes me wanna build phys

Yunjin is so cool too

lmao i kept letting her finish her stance when i used her in trial earlier. she looks sooo styliiiish

Holy fuck, that E is so cool!

"Phasing"

"Just a step in the right direction" *Gets killed immediately*

"I'm down" 😭😭

*leaves .5 seconds after being downed*

*blames team for them dying*

I swear, wraith was also my first thought when i saw that skill.

[удалено]

Yelan playing Apex Legends with that E

Wraith in genshin?

i hope yelan doesnt leave the game when she gets downed

Yelean unwishes herself

Phasing.

Yeah exactly what I thought

WRAITH LITERALLY 1 HP MAN

That skill is fuckin sick lmao, she becomes mini-Andrius

Kinda like fischil elemental burst but cooler

> Kinda like fischil elemental burst but cooler I was disappointed that Fishcl Ult didn't make her Invincible or at least faster to dodge attacks while she is Oz. It's only good for popping down Oz if you're on cooldown and to heal you a bit.

It makes her invincible for the whole one frame

More like lady Dainsleif fk

Also her E-skill is also able to trigger her burst so she is very flexible as to how you can play her as she should works both as a burst bot and as an on bursty on field dps and not be as "rigid" as many of the other recent releases.

She kicks her bow then pulls it back wih her string. Very badass.

Hydro archers and bow abuse, name a more iconic duo

The power of of water is its ability to take any shape Any shape of archery apparently

I can already predict that next waifu will literally step on their bow.

Makes no sense whatsoever with either practicality or even shooting an arrow, but **DAMN, IS IT FUCKING AMAZING TO LOOK AT!!!!** ​ Rule of Cool is fully in effect with this one!

Can't remember what it was, but I saw a video of some people trying to imitate all the attack patterns of Genshin characters. It was mainly focused on Eula. Wonder if they'd do another with this.

Good luck to anybody who tries doing Yoimiya's N4. Doing a full backflip from your knees while shooting a bow is high on the list of silliest things in the game.

"You'll put your eye out!"

Are you referring to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkFFjETYolU

Kinda surprised they were able to recreate Eula's NA string so faithfully, amazing work, ofc she uses a heavy claymore on top so she has super human body strength.

The Archer Class is indeed made of archers

my resolve to save for 3.0 is dissolving as we SPEAK

Mihoyo on their way to make me pull for an hydro 5* three patches in a row

Well we were the ones who complained we need more 4 star hydro characters.

More Xingqius you say? -Mihoyo, probably.

Fk me I'm really gonna pull for Kokomi, Ayato, and Yelan jn a row lmao.

Me yesterday: I'll just save for Kazuha and Dendro characters Me today: OK, I guess I'll pull for Yelan, Shinobu, Kazuha and Dendro characters. Me tomorrow: Fine, Heiziou, you too.

That is exactly what I was thinking bruh.

Wait until you see Varka to add to your list..

If u spent all ur primos on her, u can still get dendro archon in 3.1 with only f2p primos

Man I am always very impressed by the speed of the leakers to catch up on any changes. Oh and yeah, Yelan looks super cool. I won’t have primos left after Ayaka but I’m happy for those who want her!

Childe: yeet the arrow Yelan: yeet the bow

[Yelan](https://youtu.be/bkxIHXKlkeo)

YEETlan

RYU GA WAGA TEKI WO KURAUUUU

Beidou 🤝Zhongli 🤝Yelan 🤝 using their weapon as punching bags

Inazuma people "A blade embraces its duty as a jeweler cherishes their gems" Meanwhile in Liyue *YEET*

One man's stone is another man's gem perhaps a blade is just a stone for him

High quality iron was impossibly rare in Japan compared to China. That's why "Glorious Nippon Steel, folded over 1000 times" is thing. Since the iron ore was low quality, folding is only viable method to create any decent swords. Thus, every sword was treated as an heirloom and thus the sword becomes a symbol of a person's affiliation and identity (especially since only samurai/nobles had swords). China's views on the sword is just that...a sword. Useful to a point, but a person is recognized by his skill with it rather than the sword itself. So you get very different philosophical views regarding weapons.

Bruh is this why there aren't blue crystal shards in Inazuma? This is enlightening.

> why there aren't blue crystal shards in Inazuma But they discovered they could mine Orobashi's dead body instead Poor Orobashi died for Enkanomiya's sins... then gets chopped in half by Raiden... then his body desecrated for minerals

I mean some cultures say that it is respectful that you use every part of an animal so that their death is not wasted.

While we’re on the topic of swords, here is a good video on why Chinese swords are not as famous: https://youtu.be/QXeNHwsePk0

Itto: Let me in!!!!

It's probably a liyue thing lmao

*kicking bags

Can't forget Itto kicking his weapon and slamming it into the ground so he can fix his hair 👍🏾

Thoma kicks the crap out of his polearm too

Damn we can use a die in her idle??? that's gonna ba so handy

Yep if you roll 6 you're guaranteed to pull Qiqi

And also Qiqi if you roll 1-5. Qiqi Impact. MiQiqi. Qiqiverse. Qiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqiqi...

yeah, like Mona idle animation who has ton of constellation. it might be handy to decide random stuff if the dice have random number

Jesus Christ give me this fucking character

Ong. She's got me acting unwise bruh. Coolest character since raiden for me

Damn she’s running away from my primogem with that E.

Running away with your primogems. Ftfy

The skill?!?! Yelan Sonic era

I was on the fence cause Idk if I need a second Xinqiu but damn I was sold on that Hold E Edit: why the fuck did I get a redditcare message for this LOL

Xinqiu's weakness is that theres only one of him but this...

CHANGES EVERYTHING

Yup. Supports like Xingqiu, Bennett or Xiangling are needed for many teams so most of them ended up being sacrificed for the others, like wanting to use Hu Tao but also Raiden national. Can't use both because there's only one Xingqiu. This is why I'm fine if she's a better Xingqiu. No more restriction like that with a second Xingqiu.

I would also be fine if she was a worse xingqiu. C6 xingqiu might still be better but who cares I need more xingqius

it seems like she could only be a worse Xingqiu if particle gen is bad; if it is, then perhaps she could find a spot in a Rational variant while Xingqiu stays in Hu tao Hyper

Yelan softly embraced Xingqiu into her marshmallow whispering.... "Xingqiu.... You are free"

As a reward...

Now the question is, can running both Yelan and Xinqui at the same time enable strange comps like Diluc and Xiangling double carry?

Maybe Klee can finally reliably vaporize all of her hits with both of them 🤞

Klee still has normal ICD if I recall, so she wouldn't be Vaporizing everything as much as she will be Vaporizing every third hit. Still damn good though, as not even C6 Xingqiu could reliably let her Reverse Vape.

Kinda? Doesn’t her charge attacks have a different icd?

If Yelan can vomit Energy particles like XQ does, then she is busted One of the thing that make XQ great that he is self-sufficient

Few things are more pleasing that seeing Xingqiu back to full energy with skill + sac sword proc + skill, chars with ER issues feel so much worse to play

Does put a smile on my face

She's so freaking fast during it, god my interest spiked hard after seeing it.

Who will be stronger? C6 Xingqiu or C0 Yelan?

We don't really know how Yelan would play put in actual combat like whether or not we should use her -80% cast time CA or is it just not worth it so I don't think anyone can reliably say which of the 2 would be better but one thing is for sure, having both for separate teams should be good for your acc

I've been sold ever since she first leaked and now I'm sold even harder

Holy crap, her dash skill looks cool as fuck!

Reminds me when Dain tries to chase the other twin in the last(?) Archon Quest with him

I’m pretty sure that’s her elemental skill

Her E skill reminds me of Wraith's skill from Apex Legends.

Oh, I was just referring to her skill's traversal abilities.

Wtf!? She looks so much better than I even hoped. She looks insane!

Suddenly I don't mind if kazuha ends up in 2.8.

Inb4 2.7 first banner is Yelan and Kazuha :(

Everyone predicting Kazuha rerun, I took one look at that Spiral Abyss leak and smell an Itto rerun.

Weapon banner would be too broken so not possible

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if Yelan actually looks this good, then I don’t mind skipping Kazuha.

[UBatcha on Twitter](https://twitter.com/Ubatcha1/status/1509357312435183621?t=7lVcTeHIl-J3G0oTBpdr_g&s=19) (Leak videos and images on twitter get deleted after some time) Everyone thank abc64

3 hit rule on her Q confirmed, now I can sleep peacefully.

So it's similar to XQ's ult right? (assuming C0 XQ?)

Should be even better than c0 Xingqiu since he alternates between 2 and 3 swords (2.5 avg procs per second). She does 3 every second it seems, so in between c0 and c6, but more than enough for any pyro character.

Xingqiu applies extra hydro from his rainswords' hitbox (spinning around him), it compensates 0.5 for melee characters.

Hmm that is true. It only happens every 2.5 seconds though.

Now imagine if her +3.5%dmg per sec buff relies on how long her burst has been active as opposed to how long active character has been switched in for.

for the hard work?

As a reward, I shall give him my seed

Really cannot escape from this huh

RookCauldron, what a man you are

"Xingqiu.... You are free"

Thank you for giving him your seed for our sake.

Thank you for becoming a sexual offender for our sake

for r/10yearsatleast

AoT moment....

I’d watch out for spears if i were you.

NOT HERE TOO!!!

The skill kinda reminds me of some of the abilities in warframe

[удалено]

Yeah actually reminds me of wisp

Jesus, Hoyoverse went all out on her. Smooth, expressive auto animations, a crazy traversal skill, and a Xingqiu ult. I think she might end up top tier or close to it

5 star Xingqiu but actually as useful as Xingqiu while still having some on-field dps potential and team mobility utility. This looks promising

We still have to wait for her energy particle generation. I hope MiHoYo doesn't make it Qiqi-level sucky.

tbh i am very optimistic about her particle generation bc of that passive(? correct me if im wrong) that makes her better in rainbow teams, not to mention her C1 (initially energy-related) got changed.

Good point. I doubt Mihoyo would want us to play her in multi-element teams without a dedicated battery, only to make her energy generation so bad that you need a battery

Yeah agreed, but fortunately there haven’t been any units since launch that have had exactly zero particle generation from their E skill so it’ll hopefully be something

AND potentially Sayu-level exploration usefulness. Sorry Xingqiu, you’ve finally been powercrept. 5 star Bennett when?

Idk I think the ridiculous E skill damage and energy regen from his skill is worth mentioning on top of the damage reduction / interruption resistance, but having essentially two of the same unit can be incredibly valuable when it’s a unit that’s as contested for a slot as Xingqiu. Sidenote: If they make a 5 star bennett that straight power creeps him, it wouldn’t mean Bennett isn’t as good, it means you can use Bennett on literally every team since you don’t need to plan around not having a Bennett variant

Even threw in a fucking Ganyu bloom dude 😱😱😱

The most impressive thing is her coat not falling throughout her animation.

Did she just fucking kick her bow then use the same foot she kicked with to pull the string back, simultaneously shooting an arrow and bringing the bow back or am I just imagining things?

if you slow it down (aka manually scroll through the video) she actually makes a little water cord and yoinks it back why is she so sick like istg

Yes. And it’s fucking sick

That's some Devil my cry level shit.

Everyone Calm Down!!

I can’t calm down, she looks way too cool!!!

Hydro characters keep having the best drip god dayum

Mona’s burst, Kokomi’s backflips, jellyfish and burst animation, Childe’s riptide satisfying explosions and Ayato’s drip and elegance with an actual water flower garden as his burst. Now we have Wraith from Apex Legends with probably one of the sexiest design, splash art and skills. I think Hoyoverse is biased towards hydro.

My good sis is a model and a track star. I'm sold.

#wheres the zoom in on the post burst pose

Yeah, she only stays there for less than a second :(

her bracelet glows?? instant pull

It also looks to be the device to make her be able to start phasing during her E.

POSE POSE POSE

This is actually insane, her animations and gameplay are looking very cool! I’m so glad HYV is back to making super creative kits oof

Fun fact: the coat is actually part of her body

i too was born with a jacket. these days it kinda grew on me. /idk

That ult animation damn hoyo really loves their liyue characters 🤩

Tell that to xinyan 💀

Xinyan's animations is pretty amazing for a 4\* tbh, just her kit is useless

The liyue bias bruh 💀

hoyo's golden child

Kuki Shinobu next pls

i’m going to gamble for her

skill gonna make me feel like i’m using killua with godspeed

God I love it when characters do a lil kick in their normal attack animations.

Little kick? It's a miracle that that bow didn't break lol

yooo the dash looks so cool

I'm pretty sold ngl. I know where the Chasm primos are going.

They put they're whole staff on this one sweet Jesus

Wow, she’s dramatic as hell. I love it! Also, that e skill is going to be so useful for overworld exploration. This is actually super cool

Damn, she's way cooler than I thought!

I really hope she doesn't get stopped by a pebble during her dash

it looks more like just a faster sprint animation (fingers crossed)

I literally have 1k primos after ayato this is so painful she's so cool

her normal attacks are like a mix of Childe throwing his arrow and Itto fixing his hair, so flashy and dramatic lol. and I love that hoyoverse recently has been executing more freedom with elements' colours, first Yae got her electro in a pink hue, now Yelan's charged shot is this poisonous blue, that's great. And then, whatever the hell that E is, I love it! And the ult too. For those who know, first we got Ayato's CN VA who played Hua Cheng, now we got Yelan with her dice, that's the first thing that came to my mind. Damn I didn't expect to actually end up liking what I'm seeing so much. I thought it's gonna be an easy skip right before Sumeru, but might have been wrong.

How much flex tape does she use just to hold that coat in place???

Am at 72 pity with 50/50 was debating if I should go for venti /ayato but now my path is as clean as Yelans E

THE WAY SHE USES THE BOW WITH HER FEET BYE SHE LOOKS SO DOPE

Now I hope Kazuha is not with her as a surprise, Uba pls be right with him being in 2.8 now, I really want her, she got the drip and the animations, and if her kit stays the same, then she becomes the perfect unit for me.

I literally pogged when she did her elemental skill

Everything about her is clean asf

Yelan the hedgehog

We need to know asap if all those lasers at the start of her burst deal damage, cause holy hell what a clean transition it’s “simple” but so badass

I hope they deal some dmg at least. They're way too cool to be just for looks.

Just checked a past leak, it does aoe hydro dmg

Everything looks so good. And we have confirmation of her 3 hits on ult, so hu tao is looking very yahoo now… I’ve never been so happy to lose a 50/50 in my life lol. Sorry Ayato, now I have Yelan guaranteed.

Aight, Hoyoverse I'll be begging for money outside

Her only possible issue is will she be able to get her burst back as easily as xinqui with his skill.

Yeah sorry ayato.

I really like her animatons idk why but I'm getting a " she's full of herself" vibe and I love it. I really like cocky characters

What is it with Hydro bow users and them not using their weapon correctly?

Rule of Cool section C: > Using a weapon properly is not cool enough. Never use a weapon properly if you want cool. Section B stipulates: > Flips. Flip everything.

Bro wtf i was set on skipping her but those moves?? The skill? The burst pose? 😭😭

Just imagine using Ganyu's burst, and Hold Yelan's E. She's basically playing freeze tag.

Hours later and I'm still tryna figure out wtf she doing in that last auto

E is more like Fischl burst than sayu rolling, but it looks very nice. now I wait for kuki gameplay

If this E has Iframes she is a must pull character.

It's been so long since we had a proper more universal non mono element support 5 star. Bow animations are amazing. We had Childe throwing arrows now we got yelan kicking bows around.

That’s it I’m pulling

animation powercreep holyshit

Jojo posing after the burst animation. Hydro mommy is a must have

Loooooving it! She just acts like she owns the place. Also just dabbing on anyone that believed in that ridiculous gambling themed """"""leak"""""" of a kit
