Best weapon for Yelan, calculated
The Daybreak Chronicles tops the weapon calc for Yelan at 12,700 average damage on Normal Attack combo. Every row below is the same hit with only the weapon swapped, at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1 — the right-hand column is the damage you give up by running it instead.
Each bow equipped on a Lv90 Yelan at talent 10 — base ATK, substat and any modelled passive. Weapons whose passive is not modelled show only their raw stats; better a missing buff than a wrong one. Swap any of them in the Yelan calculator to re-run the whole chain on your own panel.
| Weapon | Base ATK | Substat | Average | vs best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Daybreak Chronicles 5★ best base ATK 674 · CRIT DMG | 674 | CRIT DMG | 12,700 | 100% |
| Golden Frostbound Oath 5★ base ATK 542 · CRIT DMG | 542 | CRIT DMG | 11,296 | 88.9% |

Only self-buffs that are unconditional and clearly numeric change the numbers above. Everything else is shown as text but applies nothing.
-
C1 · Enter the Plotters not modelled — text only
Lingering Lifeline gains 1 additional charge.
-
C2 · Taking All Comers not modelled — text only
When Exquisite Throw conducts a coordinated attack, it will fire an additional water arrow that will deal 14% of Yelan's Max HP as Hydro DMG. This effect can trigger once every 1.8s.
-
C3 · Beware the Trickster's Dice modelled
Increases the Level of Depth-Clarion Dice by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

These Breakthrough Barbs will have similar abilities to normal ones and the DMG dealt will be considered Charged Attack DMG, dealing 156% of a normal Breakthrough Barb's DMG. The Mastermind state lasts 20s and will be cleared after Yelan fires 5 arrows.

Yelan build questions, answered
What does Yelan scale off?
Yelan's Normal Attack combo scales off Max HP, not ATK. HP% raises every number on this page; ATK% raises none of them.
What stat does Yelan get from ascension?
Yelan's ascension substat is CRIT Rate. It arrives at the Level-80/90 ascension and is part of the character's own stats, so the calculator counts it before any artifact roll is added.
What is the best weapon for Yelan?
Ranked by computed Normal Attack combo damage at Level 90, talent 10 and refinement 1, The Daybreak Chronicles is the strongest bow for Yelan at 12,700 average damage per hit. The Aqua Simulacra used by this page's preset panel averages 10,085, 20.6% behind it.
What artifacts should Yelan use?
Emblem of Severed Fate (4) is the set this calculator presets Yelan with, and the damage tables include its bonuses. Set effects that depend on the element of the hit are applied per row rather than as a flat average.
How much damage should Yelan do?
On the default Level-90, talent-10 build shown above, Yelan's largest single hit averages 23,588 — the table lists its CRIT and non-CRIT numbers separately. That is a reference panel, not a target: load your own artifact rolls into the calculator to get your own number.
Do these numbers include Yelan's constellations?
No — every table is computed at C0. Constellations that are unconditional and clearly numeric are modelled in the calculator and marked as such on this page; the rest are listed as text only and change nothing.
How those numbers are produced: the damage formula, term by term, and the weapon & artifact build guide. If Yelan still hits soft, the six levers ranked by damage added shows which multiplier is holding a build back.
