Lan Yan kit
Lan Yan is a 4-Star Anemo character who uses a catalyst, and keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from honeyhunterworld that could change upon Lan Yan's official release, and all of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills, here's a summary of Lan Yan' kit in Genshin Impact:
- Element: Anemo.
- Rarity: 4-Star.
- Weapon: Catalyst.
- Normal Attack: Black Pheasant Strides on Water.
- Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance.
- Elemental Burst: Lustrous Moonrise.
- Passive one: Four Sealing Divination Charms - When the dash from Lan Yan's Elemental Skill hits a target, if it interacts with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, the Swallow-Wisp Shield will undergo Elemental Conversion, with the converted shield absorbing damage from the corresponding element with 250% efficiency. Additionally, if this use of Lan Yan's Skill causes the Swallow-Wisp Shield to undergo Elemental Conversion, the Feathermoon Rings that Lan Yan throws at her foes additionally deal Elemental Damage equal to 50% of the original in the corresponding Elemental Type. This damage is considered Elemental Skill Damage.
- Passive two: Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm - Lan Yan's Elemental Skill and the Elemental Burst deal increased damage equal to 309% and 774% of Lan Yan's Elemental Mastery, respectively.
- Exploration bonus: Thought and Intent, Like Silken Scent - When Lan Yan is on the team, when party members are close to certain creatures (such as Crystalflies), they will not be startled. Valid creatures can be found in the 'Other' category of the 'Living Beings/Wildlife' tab in the Archive menu.
Lan Yan Normal Attack - Black Pheasant Strides on Water
Lan Yan performs up to four attacks if tapping the normal attack button, dealing Anemo Damage. Holding it down instead makes Lan Yan consume a certain amount of stamina to throw out a Feathermoon Ring, dealing Anemo Damage.
As with most plunging attacks, Lan Yan strikes the ground below dealing AOE Anemo damage upon impact, and damaging any enemies caught on her path to the ground.
Lan Yan Elemental Skill - Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance
Summoning forth the Swallow-Wisp Shield, a secret art passed down across generations, Lan Yan dashes forward and, upon making contact with her target, will leap back into the air. The Swallow-Wisp Shield's damage absorption scales based on her attack, and has a 250% absorption efficiency against Anemo Damage.
While in mid-air due to the effects of her Elemental Skill, pressing the Elemental Skill button again, or pressing the normal attack will cause Lan Yan to hurl her Feathermoon Rings at an opponent, and they will spin between nearby opponents twice upon hit, dealing Anemo Damage.
Holding the Skill button will instead make Lan Yan enter and Aiming Mode, where you can adjust her dash direction.
Lan Yan Elemental Burst - Lustrous Moonrise
Lan Yan creates a Feathermoon Swallow Array, pulling in nearby opponents and objects and dealing multiple instances of AOE Anemo Damage.
Lan Yan Talent materials
To get the most out of using Lan Yan, you will have to level her skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.
With the latest beta information sourced from honeyhunterworld, for Lan Yan, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Nectar and Diligence materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.

So don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull them, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.
Lan Yan Ascension materials
Just like Talents, you need to use Lan Yan Ascension materials to upgrade her health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.
Based off the same honeyhunterworld beta leaks, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Clearwater Jade and Nectar materials for Lan Yan (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade her capabilities.
Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Lan Yan to her highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.
Here's what Lan Yan Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade her for each Ascension level:
| Lan Yan Ascension level | Lan Yan Ascension materials | Mora cost | Ascension reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 20 | x1 Vayuda Turquoise Sliver, x3 Clearwater Jade, x3 Whopperflower Nectar | 20,000 | x1 Acquaint Fate |

Once again, this is leaked beta information, so Lan Yan's materials could change upon her official release.
Lan Yan Constellations
By getting duplicates of Lan Yan from pulling on Banners, you will receive her Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.
With thanks to honeyhunterworld again for sourcing this leaked beta information, here are all of Lan Yan's Constellations in Genshin Impact:
- "As One Might Stride Betwixt the Clouds" (C1): After triggering the Elemental Conversion from her 'Four Sealing Divination Charms' Passive Talent, this instance of Lan Yan's Elemental Skill will produce another Feathermoon Ring when they are thrown at opponents.
- "Dance Vestments Billow Like Rainbow Jade" (C2): While the Swallow-Wisp Shield is active, when your active party member's normal attacks deal damage, 40% of the Shield's Damage Absorption will be restored, up to its original maximum absorption. This effect can occur once every two seconds.
- "On White Wings Pierce Through Cloud and Fog" (C3): Increases the Level of Lan Yan's Elemental Skill by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- "With Drakefalcon's Blood-Pearls Adorned" (C4): After Lan Yan uses her Elemental Burst, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members increases by 60 for 12 seconds.
- "Having Met You, My Heart is Gladdened" (C5): Increases the Level of Lan Yan's Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
- "Let Us Away on Slyphic Wing, the Silvered Ornaments to Ring" (C6): Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance gains one additional charge.
