After all the crazy over the top Natlan designs I honestly love her design. It's so simple yet elegant and charming. Probably my favorite 4 star character design for a long while.
Eh. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Lanyan’s design but I’m kind of burnt out on the East Asian aesthetic. I know it’s a Chinese game and so it’s going to take a lot from its own culture; but it’s so heavily saturated at this point with HSR/WuWa ect that Natlan was a refreshing change of pace. Just my opinion though.
@@bouyo32123 I think you are not wrong, but it is pretty subjective. If someone only played with Genshin not a lot of chinese inspired character was realised in the near past. I think the last one was Xianyun and Ga Ming, and his design not really chinese either. Oh, and I assume you are happy with the new designs in WuWa then.
@@purplerainPR If just a sliver of that is true, then the traveler must be at least the same level as Mavuika in terms of power in game and in the story. Regardless of lore and whatnot, possessing a gnosis would be possessing an ungodly amount of power.
@@N4thF4 it doesnt matter, I wish in genshin there was regional 4 star character selector every other patch instead of some random character. Every time its someone I already have or I don't care about and won't use
personally i saw some leaks about her animation. Her normal attacks have really dope animation, as usual. I really think it's a pity that most of Genshin's characters nicely animated normal attacks are basically useless in their kits. Hopefully I could use her as a driver as it's anemo and she comes with her own shield.
She IS a driver. The shield is meant for herself, not your team. People are overlooking the fact that her ICD is great for a Swirl DPS. This also explains why she has EM scaling out of nowhere. She's C4 Yanfei but Anemo. Yes, you can her as a shielder just like how some people use Yanfei, but that's not her intended role.
@AevyCh i may been misreading your main topic, but i am looking forward for her as a driver not a shielder, i was just stating that she seems like a driver that comes with her own shield, which is great cause magicians (I don't play in english I don't know the term for casters/magician/etc u get the idea) has the lowest poise stat across all weapons. But yeah thanks for telling me she works as a driver, which is my intention. Plus to me, if i'm looking for a shielder, i would rather look for that in zhongli for 5.2 latter half as that is a more flexible shielder vs anemo shield design wise. Or even citlali for some potential power creep shielding advantages for my hutao.
Putting Thundering Fury artifacts on her instead of Viridescent and using her to run Electrocharged or Aggravate could work (Ling Yan, Xingqiu/Collei/Dendro main character, Lisa/Yae/Fischl/Ororon). (Not Nahida since her stronger Dendro almost always messes up Dendro+Electro+Anemo combos) Thundering Fury artifact gets around the skill cooldown issue. If the kit is buffed to not have bad cooldowns, you can use Viridescent Venerer again.
@@AevyChhonestly that is so perfect for me im tired of main dps carries and anemo drivers are so fun actually it’s literally just sucrose that is an anemo driver cuz we never get any im glad we’re getting a new one i cant wait to play her in that role But im pretty sure shes melee i hope that doesn’t affect it
@@AevyCh Yeah, also the cool down on her shield reminds me more of Noelle. There's no way she replaces Layla or Thoma when it comes to most comfy 4* shields.
yeah while it default to anemo, but it absorbs the element on hit which convert its property to that unless you run mono anemo and enemies doesn't have elemental status applied
@razgriz-007 That actually makes so much sense. I wasn't a fan of the fact that shields were more effective against their own element. Because why would you ever run for example a cryo character against an enemy with a persistent cryo aura and is likely resistant/immune to cryo? Now I get that shielders aren't meant to be high damage characters but for some accounts, every little bit helps. This seems to bypass that problem.
@@sandz000 nope, she's not! You'd use her right before the DPS for TTDS and VV buffs anyway, so the shield uptime should be just enough for most onfielders to do their thing
Super excited for her in Clorinde aggravate and taser teams! There's also possibility that she'll be running on Clorinde's rerun banner what doubles the hype ☺ VV set, grouping, shielding, EM buffing on C4 and being TTDS holder seems like being almost tailor-made for aggravate
@MellowGirl2000 There's leak saying pattern is going to change starting from 5.3 and both new characters will be available simultaneously throught whole patch and two reruns after 21 days. Seems reliable as the same pattern was leaked for ZZZ.
Yeah Pyro MC is apparently coming in 5.3 according to word on the grapevine and we'll be getting C6 directly without having to level up the statues to get it.
@@haydenz0 Yeah, you can still get to C5 at least before that, already have 4 of those. Depending on how many quests there are for the last tribe, you'll be able to get it second week of the patch. At least it won't need other than to spend some materials every week and do some bounties.
Chenyu Vale was the highlight of genshin for me this year, really happy we get a new character from there. It's no Liyue map expansion, but she's very cool still.
One thing not covered here that she's going to be solid for is DPS Faruzan teams, particularly those running Faruzan with First Great Magic since you really want a second Anemo for the extra buff from the bow's passive, but previously your only Anemo sustain options were Jean and Sayu, who are both reliant on their burst
@@santiagoramos6143 I actually got Wanderer going for Faruzan cons >.> I'm not a fan of either of them, but I love Madam Faruzan, so I wanted to build her. She can do a lot of work but you need at least C1 to get the 2 charges for her charged shot
Her _shield_ having a *8s* uptime while VV's _res. shred_ lasts *10s* still aligns quite well, with the shield's end serving as a visual reminder to switch back into her and refresh... quite good for teams composed entirely of units with _60 energy cost_ bursts, as everyone's rotation stays at 15~16s and just the carry has to swap out in the middle of it! Sadly they changed her "extra E charge" constellation from the C2 of every other Liyue unit into cashgrabby C6 territory.
Jello must be excited / cringing for all the testing needed for next patch with an Anemo (so PHEC testing) and two characters with off field presence. That sounds like 100+ teams - good luck 😂
She's promising. Until I see her skill CD.. 16 seconds with 8 seconds shield duration. You either need her C6 to make her skill gain 2nd charge, or forever bound to sac frag.
@@SwieczkaNiweaniewierzeDarekor even Kiara since most dendro teams are meta anyway I think she was designed to go with sacrificial because her passive scales on em
@@leblancattire5951it usually take longer to set a rotation while being invulnerable in your ult animations. She shield should only exist for the on field dps when playing right
I would say it's good she can't use the Natlan set. Since the set can't stack with its own effect anyways, it means you can put her on the same team as someone who is using it and just focus on lowering resistances.
She can be an on-fielder too! Specifically as a Sucrose replacement in Taser teams. All of her skills hit 2-3x, and so do NA2 & 3. So she's going to get a lot of swirls off on-field. Since she has a shield, you don't need XQ's defense, so new Taser will be Lan Yan, Yelan, and your choice of Fischl, Beidou, & Ororon.
is it the silver? the silver jewellry is inspired from a chinese ethnic group, the miao/hmong! they live in china and in south-east asia. Liyue is han chinese inspired, and chenyu vale is more chinese ethnic minorities (like Gaming being cantonese) and south east asia inspirations
I am a sucker for a shielder. The comfort is so nice! I'll be curious to see how she plays. Liyue characters are usually pretty good. Thanks for the overview, Jello!
is it me or smth abt lanyan's design that doesn't look like it's from genshin its not anything to do with genshin timeline (and even if it was due to that, I would be complaining cuz she still looks gorgeous) I think it's her eyes that make me look like she's from maybe wuwa, hi3 or ToF
@@SwieczkaNiweaniewierzeDarek i'm also annoyed abt it myself considering the hate with mavuika, i don't rlly have a problem with her motorcycle tho I didn't mean to use this in a way to criticize the character, I was just pointing it out, I don't have any problems with it
Genuinely really sweet Xianyun basically adopts everyone she encounters! I know its ridiculous to include this (and to make it so long) but I feel like people don't realize how close she views Gaming too and how he should be included in the "Xianyun's adoptive children" list. If you look up their character lines about one another its very touching! They first encountered each other when he found her resting by a lake and shared food with her. He even commented that she seemed so wise, "worthier of respect than even the adepti" without knowing she was one, which made her chuckle and comment that she "will be sure to look out for him" ever since. His character line about her legitimately says: "Aunty Xianyun always has my back." She says she is "very fond of Gaming" and that he is "good-hearted and entertaining in conversation" (so they must visit and talk often which is also a nice reality to think of during his deliveries and her solitude). She even tried to make him 10 new and improved lion heads for his Wushou dance when she noticed his was run down. She insisted to the point he had to talk her down to just fixing the one he had, but he reflects how its such an improvement and that there always seems to be like an "adeptal wind making it dance" - adorable that she infused her anemo power to make his dance performance even better because she knows how important it is to him ) - their dynamic is adorable, especially considering that they were released together and she is one of his best teammates too! Wanted to share because of the topic and I am so glad I gave Gaming a chance, he's such a sweet and thoughtful character in his own right and I feel like many people don't know how great he is as a person (if his playstyle isn't your thing, his personality, enthusiasm, diligence, and consideration is really special). And just like him, its just so sweet that Xianyun has this nurturing and motherly side behind the typically perceived colder and analytical exterior that is concealing so much love for all those around her!
She will be good for Clorinde. C0 Clorinde's like the comfort but trade in the max damage potential for it, I.e Clor, Fish, Nahida, Zhong. Swapping Zhong Li out should buff her aggrevate.
No kidding! I am very excited about Lan Yan as well. I was planning to pull for Mavuika and Zongli, now I feel like I will be happy to get only Lan Yan and Citlali. And if I have more I will pull Mavuika.
Also it’s kind of not fair to say Gaming doesn’t need a shielder. Because one of Gaming’s best weapon is serpent spine, so he can use a shielder, also with VV? At least that’s what I will be doing in the future.
Since I got Chaskas bow for Tighnari it would be sick to have a character that makes your active characters normal and charge attacks swirl. Then Tighnari could get the attack buff from the bow as well.
Keqing Aggrevate seems to be her best use case. Her "attacks" will convert to the element you swirl so in amplifying reaction teams she will eat up gauge, an example of this is lyney-furina vape where you want to vape on lyney but lanyan's pyro infused atk might steal some. Citlali would be better for Lyney anyways. Keqing team always wanted a defensive util but all options we have so far result in dmg loss in exchange for that(kirara, baizhu, yaoyao), and Lanyan might actually change that. This is a trend I've noticed in Citlali as well, how its actually optimal to play a shielder now in lyney/arle teams for highest dps. On an Ayaka mono cryo team I can see her replacing kazuha, mainly because she can build crit and would just do more dmg, can use ttds and her grouping seems as good anyways. Lanyan, shenhe, xilonen might surpass ayaka with bennet. I honestly havent played freeze in 2 years, mono cryo is better in 90% situations and just does 10-15k more dps.
Please prepare to talk about what we need to consider when wishing for Mavuika & Citloli and their constellations & weapons since they are rumored to be up at the same time. Thanks.
12:25 as of v1 her shield scales off ATK, but there is part of her kit that gets more damage based on EM. 15:33 she has a bit of grouping, but its tied to her burst (it might be very similar to Heizou's grouping, which is also tied to his burst). Personal verdict is that she's very close to heizou in terms of character value, both can use VV & TTDS and has a bit of EM buffing for the team (heizou at C0, Lan needs C4 though). Heizou has more personal damage, while lan is for more comfort.
She will be nice to have. I think she will not be the BIS to anyone, but will have a high use rate because she will be confortable. If she is half of what zhong li is as a shielder, she will be really good to have.
She is an EM scaling Anemo catalyst, so you can actually use her on field in reaction teams in most content. Lan Yan + Ororon + Xingqiu/Yelan + Kuki = taser team Lan Yan + Nahida + Xingqiu/Yelan + Kuki = hyperbloom team Are you gonna floor 12 spiral with this? Nope, but you can do a lot of content with her this way and it'll be fun.
She seems like an NPC turned character in the best way possible. I love her design don't get me wrong, but I feel she's on of the characters that fit more into their city and people than others. She doesn't stand out too much. Love her.
Nah, the real deal is running Lan Yan as driver for Fischl + anyone else. Girl deserves to be on-field! Lan Yan, Fischl, Furina, Mavuika is gonna be my go-to team
Idk if Jello somehow missed it, but Lanyan does have grouping on her ult. Also, I think Gaming and Yanfei should be higher on the least, since getting interrupted mid plunge can be a massive pain in the ass for Gaming, especially against highly aggressive enemies, while for Yanfei, her shield is only active at c4 during her ult, and since her burst has massive er requirement, it's gonna be used every other rotations, so I think Lanyan's shield will be very useful for Yanfei when you don't have her burst ready.
Gaming also had the hp drain mechanic, so for her to have night soul can be possible, but I doubt it cause the night soul stuff looks really natlan lore like, but the hp drain is just a fontaine mechanic.
Technically 4 new characters in 5.3. You forgot Pyro Traveler! Looking forward to Lanyan, though. I love that she fulfills a new niche as an Anemo shielder.
can't wait to get her c1 from the selector since I already have c6 Ga Ming, XQ, and Xinyan, the rest I have don't really need cons either except maybe Beidou. I really hope they don't lock her away in the basement with Charlotte and Heizou when her debut banner ends, she seems really cool!
I think she’s adorable and I LOVE her!!🩵🩵 hoping we’ll get a free one for sure and hoping to get her some cons as I really love everything I’ve seen about her so far - one of my fave character designs alongside chiori and xianyun! So elegant and like… calming.
This is the first character in Genshin I have ever been hyped for! I can't wait!!! Hopefully she is free for lantern rite and is on Citali's banner (hoping I enjoy Citali's playstyle) Edit: grammar loll
I dont think she really can be used as a support unless you have Sac Frags or C6. Her shield duration is too short for most dps characters. Hope they buff her shield duration. Maybe make it like Laylas or Kiraras.
I Really love her and the design. Wanna make here a DPS, gonna make her work, dont care if shes meh in calcs. This is the first time im hype in getting a 4 Star. Shes gonna be my Mini Wanderer.
Godbless you bro I hope you are safe and doing well in health ! We love you ! Thank you for all the content ! I will definitely be main dps ing lan yan 😂
I am intrigued by Lan Yan, she reminds me of the game Kingdoms of Amalur, where the mage class used a pair of discs in combat...and from the sound of it, her burst will send them spinning around her too... An Anemo Infusion shielder who scales on ATK is pretty out there...but I'm excited.
idk if it's just me but something about lan yan's face is bothering me. i don't know if her eyes are too far down or far apart, but something about ehr face (mainly her eyes) is bothering me and I can't place my finger on what
Wait, isnt she a catalyst? vv, sheild and ttds? even if she's not bis for anyone, shes going to be very f2p friendly with high return values with low investment. swirling the right element keeping ttds is mind is going to be a little tricky though
I think its nice to have such a pleasant and sweet character! I really like elements of her design but I think the bird clip and headband are too on the nose/over the top aspects that I wish weren't there. Oh well. I am glad to see more Chenyu Vale (or adjacent) characters and hope we receive more in the future, the region is so peaceful and its a shame there is not more to do there and minimal connection to the rest of the cast This will be a tough choice, I have Layla so I don't know how much I will need her and I have only one more con to get Gaming to C6, choices!
I will still re-iterate a common truth: getting a C6 4-star is much harder than a C0 5-star, so I believe it makes more sense for those who have too few primos to get Citlali rather than this Lan Yan.

@@SwieczkaNiweaniewierzeDarekor even Kiara since most dendro teams are meta anyway I think she was designed to go with sacrificial because her passive scales on em
It’s changed to 12.5 secs buddy
@@danielsagolsem9577 so 4 seconds without shield still?
@@leblancattire5951it usually take longer to set a rotation while being invulnerable in your ult animations. She shield should only exist for the on field dps when playing right
I would say it's good she can't use the Natlan set. Since the set can't stack with its own effect anyways, it means you can put her on the same team as someone who is using it and just focus on lowering resistances.
Dropping the cheeky “leeway” pun. 😂
She can be an on-fielder too!
Specifically as a Sucrose replacement in Taser teams.
All of her skills hit 2-3x, and so do NA2 & 3. So she's going to get a lot of swirls off on-field.
Since she has a shield, you don't need XQ's defense, so new Taser will be Lan Yan, Yelan, and your choice of Fischl, Beidou, & Ororon.
She gives me more Sumeru vibes than Liyue but sure she looks pretty
Maybe also Chenyu Vale
It's chenyu vale, it's mentioned in the marketing a lot
is it the silver? the silver jewellry is inspired from a chinese ethnic group, the miao/hmong! they live in china and in south-east asia. Liyue is han chinese inspired, and chenyu vale is more chinese ethnic minorities (like Gaming being cantonese) and south east asia inspirations
@@cil7847No i think its the clothing pattern/colours that resemble the sumeru npcs a lot. She also kinda reminds me of Alhaithem with the patterns
I feel like every time I check, Jello has gone up 10k subs. ☺️
Keep up the good work!
She is like xianyun daughter 😊
She will be BIS in Clorinde aggravate teams cause the new event 4 star weapon wants you to have a shield (Calamity of Eshu)
So best in slot for a team that isn't using best in slot weapons? Seems a bit specific lol
BIS is such an overstatement.
@@henshj9874 the weapon is her best fp2 option
Kirara is better
On-field driver. She's not replacing Sucrose in that role for me since I usually don't need a shield and the grouping is just so much better.
Her grouping is burst tied and by the looks of it you need atk on her while her best in sloth seems to be sacrificial frag
I love her swallow aesthetic. :) She's so pretty.
Interested to see how she compares with Kirara as a shielder in aggravate teams, since they tend to want both a dendro applier and anemo/vv unit.
You would loose out on damage running her alongside kiara
@santiagoramos6143 no shi- thats not what the commentor said.
I am a sucker for a shielder. The comfort is so nice! I'll be curious to see how she plays. Liyue characters are usually pretty good. Thanks for the overview, Jello!
I genuinely think the representation on her entire character is absolutely beautiful and I'll definitely try to get some cons for fun
is it me or smth abt lanyan's design that doesn't look like it's from genshin
its not anything to do with genshin timeline (and even if it was due to that, I would be complaining cuz she still looks gorgeous)
I think it's her eyes that make me look like she's from maybe wuwa, hi3 or ToF
Same thoughts for me. Thought she was a ToF character from Domain 9.
She's so cute but I thought she was an oc when I first saw her 😭
Can we stop with the "he/she doesn't look like they're from Genshin"? It's getting stale already...
@@SwieczkaNiweaniewierzeDarek i'm also annoyed abt it myself considering the hate with mavuika, i don't rlly have a problem with her motorcycle tho
I didn't mean to use this in a way to criticize the character, I was just pointing it out, I don't have any problems with it
lanyan is Xianyun's newest adoptive daughter
Genuinely really sweet Xianyun basically adopts everyone she encounters!
I know its ridiculous to include this (and to make it so long) but I feel like people don't realize how close she views Gaming too and how he should be included in the "Xianyun's adoptive children" list. If you look up their character lines about one another its very touching!
They first encountered each other when he found her resting by a lake and shared food with her. He even commented that she seemed so wise, "worthier of respect than even the adepti" without knowing she was one, which made her chuckle and comment that she "will be sure to look out for him" ever since. His character line about her legitimately says: "Aunty Xianyun always has my back." She says she is "very fond of Gaming" and that he is "good-hearted and entertaining in conversation" (so they must visit and talk often which is also a nice reality to think of during his deliveries and her solitude). She even tried to make him 10 new and improved lion heads for his Wushou dance when she noticed his was run down. She insisted to the point he had to talk her down to just fixing the one he had, but he reflects how its such an improvement and that there always seems to be like an "adeptal wind making it dance" - adorable that she infused her anemo power to make his dance performance even better because she knows how important it is to him ) - their dynamic is adorable, especially considering that they were released together and she is one of his best teammates too!
Wanted to share because of the topic and I am so glad I gave Gaming a chance, he's such a sweet and thoughtful character in his own right and I feel like many people don't know how great he is as a person (if his playstyle isn't your thing, his personality, enthusiasm, diligence, and consideration is really special). And just like him, its just so sweet that Xianyun has this nurturing and motherly side behind the typically perceived colder and analytical exterior that is concealing so much love for all those around her!
Wow finally another lifter for Neuvilette, my boy has been struggling to solo Abyss lately. Thanks Hoyo you came in clutch
Looking forward getting and building Lan Yan
She an instant lvl 20 forever. Honestly hoping for boosted recourses from Lyue mine
I genuinely think the representation on her entire character is absolutely beautiful
Lan Yan is so cute! Instant favorite as far as design. The color scheme is so lovely!!
I like how you're analysing leaked character kits now. Future content discussion and theorycrafting is always more interesting.
She looks pretty cool
She will be good for Clorinde. C0 Clorinde's like the comfort but trade in the max damage potential for it, I.e Clor, Fish, Nahida, Zhong. Swapping Zhong Li out should buff her aggrevate.
The design is absolute peak!
No kidding! I am very excited about Lan Yan as well.
I was planning to pull for Mavuika and Zongli, now I feel like I will be happy to get only Lan Yan and Citlali. And if I have more I will pull Mavuika.
Also it’s kind of not fair to say Gaming doesn’t need a shielder. Because one of Gaming’s best weapon is serpent spine, so he can use a shielder, also with VV? At least that’s what I will be doing in the future.
@@raymonliao5387 All that Gaming needs is Xianyun, no one else better for him
dude shes SO pretty and i love shielders sm so i really really hope shes good
Since I got Chaskas bow for Tighnari it would be sick to have a character that makes your active characters normal and charge attacks swirl. Then Tighnari could get the attack buff from the bow as well.
Keqing Aggrevate seems to be her best use case. Her "attacks" will convert to the element you swirl so in amplifying reaction teams she will eat up gauge, an example of this is lyney-furina vape where you want to vape on lyney but lanyan's pyro infused atk might steal some. Citlali would be better for Lyney anyways.
Keqing team always wanted a defensive util but all options we have so far result in dmg loss in exchange for that(kirara, baizhu, yaoyao), and Lanyan might actually change that. This is a trend I've noticed in Citlali as well, how its actually optimal to play a shielder now in lyney/arle teams for highest dps.
On an Ayaka mono cryo team I can see her replacing kazuha, mainly because she can build crit and would just do more dmg, can use ttds and her grouping seems as good anyways. Lanyan, shenhe, xilonen might surpass ayaka with bennet. I honestly havent played freeze in 2 years, mono cryo is better in 90% situations and just does 10-15k more dps.
Please prepare to talk about what we need to consider when wishing for Mavuika & Citloli and their constellations & weapons since they are rumored to be up at the same time. Thanks.
12:25 as of v1 her shield scales off ATK, but there is part of her kit that gets more damage based on EM. 15:33 she has a bit of grouping, but its tied to her burst (it might be very similar to Heizou's grouping, which is also tied to his burst).
Personal verdict is that she's very close to heizou in terms of character value, both can use VV & TTDS and has a bit of EM buffing for the team (heizou at C0, Lan needs C4 though). Heizou has more personal damage, while lan is for more comfort.
I hope we can pick her from lantern rite selection like we did gaming!
Definitely!
I'm excited for her!!! Mini xianyun! She'd definitely adopt her😂
As a Wanderer main i gotta try her for when i use Furina in another team so Scara, Faruzan, Lan Yan, and bennet
She is so pretty. Faruzan is proud of her.
She will be nice to have. I think she will not be the BIS to anyone, but will have a high use rate because she will be confortable. If she is half of what zhong li is as a shielder, she will be really good to have.
That Mualani music makes such a good RUclips outro! 😂
She is an EM scaling Anemo catalyst, so you can actually use her on field in reaction teams in most content.
Lan Yan + Ororon + Xingqiu/Yelan + Kuki = taser team
Lan Yan + Nahida + Xingqiu/Yelan + Kuki = hyperbloom team
Are you gonna floor 12 spiral with this? Nope, but you can do a lot of content with her this way and it'll be fun.
She is 100 percent related to Yaoyao since both are adeptus and seem very similar in personality judging from her art
She seems like an NPC turned character in the best way possible. I love her design don't get me wrong, but I feel she's on of the characters that fit more into their city and people than others. She doesn't stand out too much. Love her.
Will she come on mavoka banner ? she looks great for both her and Cryo grandma
both citlali and mauvikas banners
She looks amazing
9/10 design
VV shred and shielder all in one character for my Neuvillette…quite nice
Nah, the real deal is running Lan Yan as driver for Fischl + anyone else. Girl deserves to be on-field!
Lan Yan, Fischl, Furina, Mavuika is gonna be my go-to team
We have learned that Jello is a bird, teal, and paper crane guy!
Idk if Jello somehow missed it, but Lanyan does have grouping on her ult. Also, I think Gaming and Yanfei should be higher on the least, since getting interrupted mid plunge can be a massive pain in the ass for Gaming, especially against highly aggressive enemies, while for Yanfei, her shield is only active at c4 during her ult, and since her burst has massive er requirement, it's gonna be used every other rotations, so I think Lanyan's shield will be very useful for Yanfei when you don't have her burst ready.
Gaming also had the hp drain mechanic, so for her to have night soul can be possible, but I doubt it cause the night soul stuff looks really natlan lore like, but the hp drain is just a fontaine mechanic.
she's from liyue
Technically 4 new characters in 5.3. You forgot Pyro Traveler! Looking forward to Lanyan, though. I love that she fulfills a new niche as an Anemo shielder.
can't wait to get her c1 from the selector since I already have c6 Ga Ming, XQ, and Xinyan, the rest I have don't really need cons either except maybe Beidou. I really hope they don't lock her away in the basement with Charlotte and Heizou when her debut banner ends, she seems really cool!
I think she’s adorable and I LOVE her!!🩵🩵 hoping we’ll get a free one for sure and hoping to get her some cons as I really love everything I’ve seen about her so far - one of my fave character designs alongside chiori and xianyun! So elegant and like… calming.
Gonna run Lan Yan as a driver in Taser no matter what!
Her shield benefits from characters whose main damage source is their normal attacks
This is the first character in Genshin I have ever been hyped for! I can't wait!!! Hopefully she is free for lantern rite and is on Citali's banner (hoping I enjoy Citali's playstyle)
Edit: grammar loll
She won't be best in slot for Arle monopyro, but she's gonna be damn close honestly. Really depends on the constellations.
I'm actually so excited for her and she might be free?! Eeee these next few patches seem promising I hope hoyo won't let us down.
I wish she was a dps because I love her normal attacks😭
she might be able to work as an on-field driver, at least I'm hoping cuz I really like her design and attack animations too
I dont think she really can be used as a support unless you have Sac Frags or C6. Her shield duration is too short for most dps characters. Hope they buff her shield duration. Maybe make it like Laylas or Kiraras.
I Really love her and the design. Wanna make here a DPS, gonna make her work, dont care if shes meh in calcs. This is the first time im hype in getting a 4 Star. Shes gonna be my Mini Wanderer.
Bro's Wish for a infusion Anemo DPS came true
That 4-star could be a bit more powerful than your usual 4-star as long as it's from Liyue. Always has been.
Godbless you bro I hope you are safe and doing well in health ! We love you ! Thank you for all the content ! I will definitely be main dps ing lan yan 😂
you can defiantly double swirl with her bae kit she has 2 charges of her e and gets a 3 with i think c2 also she's a catalyst soo...
Her leaks gameplay I thinks she's like sucrose/heizou she'll be good with ororon as taser team driver since she's catalyst
I'm picking Xingqiu for Lanternrite...
As you've said. 4 star problem is real. I've been playing since launch and don't have c6 Xingqiu.
I have c20 Barbara and don’t have bennet sucrose or xingqiu c6
@@santiagoramos6143man i need c6 barbs, she was my first character i pulled and she is still c1 🫠
I am intrigued by Lan Yan, she reminds me of the game Kingdoms of Amalur, where the mage class used a pair of discs in combat...and from the sound of it, her burst will send them spinning around her too...
An Anemo Infusion shielder who scales on ATK is pretty out there...but I'm excited.
Gaming and Yaoyao clock her..
I love going back to Chenyu Vale
idk if it's just me but something about lan yan's face is bothering me. i don't know if her eyes are too far down or far apart, but something about ehr face (mainly her eyes) is bothering me and I can't place my finger on what
Wait, isnt she a catalyst? vv, sheild and ttds? even if she's not bis for anyone, shes going to be very f2p friendly with high return values with low investment. swirling the right element keeping ttds is mind is going to be a little tricky though
I think its nice to have such a pleasant and sweet character! I really like elements of her design but I think the bird clip and headband are too on the nose/over the top aspects that I wish weren't there. Oh well. I am glad to see more Chenyu Vale (or adjacent) characters and hope we receive more in the future, the region is so peaceful and its a shame there is not more to do there and minimal connection to the rest of the cast
This will be a tough choice, I have Layla so I don't know how much I will need her and I have only one more con to get Gaming to C6, choices!
I will still re-iterate a common truth: getting a C6 4-star is much harder than a C0 5-star, so I believe it makes more sense for those who have too few primos to get Citlali rather than this Lan Yan.
really hope she'll work with mualani, having a shield makes her a lot more comfortable imo
Mualani doesn't need a shielder. She barely gets interrupted. At least in my experience on mobile.
She sure is Very Useful if top DPS wants her
Wait, this is huge!
We're finally getting an anemo character that can stop their friends from dying!
She looks awesome im glad we are getting her for free!
Gaming had really good animations, so there is hope for Lan Yan.
She has an anemo vision. I hope her family or friends don't die in front of her.
