Genshin Impact 2.7 beta testing has revealed Yelan's kit recently. As it turns out, she is a five-star Hydro Bow user, but her playstyle is quite different from Childe's. Interestingly, she cannot switch stances and her damage mainly scales off the character's max HP.

What to expect from Yelan in Genshin Impact version 2.5?

Even though Yelan's playstyle can be compared to Xingqiu, players must not assume that her damage output will be underwhelming. In fact, the early response towards her playstyle has been overwhelmingly positive.

Yelan's Elemental Skill and Burst DMG scales off her max HP and players can build her with massive HP for maximum damage. One of her passive talents can increase the damage dealt by the active character by 50%, which is enough to prove that she'll be much stronger than Xingqiu in a support role.

More clarity on Yelan's playstyle can be expected as Genshin Impact 2.7 beta testing progresses. Players can definitely evaluate her support capabilities, but her actual damage-dealing potential can only be judged after the character's release.
