Iansan Ascension and Talent Materials

Iansan Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Extremely high ATK buffs, giving her the potential to rival and surpass most offensive supports in the game, not to mention that her best artifact is the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City. • Constellations skyrocket support output as well as improving ease of use, with C6 giving her Elemental Burst a near 100% uptime every rotation. • Weapon choice and Artifact farming is extremely forgiving as Iansan only needs ATK and Energy Recharge to be effective. • Passive Talent gives Iansan some healing potential for the team.
Weaknesses
• Maximum ATK buff is reliant on having an active character that frequently moves around, or else the buff that Iansan provides is watered down. • Healing tick is slow, tied to Nightsoul Bursts, and its healing potency is low in comparison to conventional healers or Bennett, which means you may still need other sustain in your party for general use.

Iansan Best Builds

Build for Maximum ATK and Energy Recharge

Iansan mainly builds ATK to increase her Elemental Burst's ATK buffs, and Energy Recharge to reliably use it off-cooldown. Prioritize both stats as much as you can while having the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set.

Electro Buffer Support

Best Weapon	Symphonist of Scents
Replacement Weapons	1. Calamity Queller 2. Tamayuratei no Ohanashi 3. Favonius Lance
Best Artifacts	Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: ATK%
	Circlet: ATK%
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, ATK%
Sample Teams	Hyper: Hyper:

When building Iansan as a support, you either pick the specialized Cinder City set for Natlan characters, or run Noblesse Oblige as a generalist option.

Get as much Energy Recharge as you can to reach the recommended threshold below, then go all out on ATK.

Stat Value Recommendations

Stat	Recommended Value
Energy Recharge	180% ~ 200%+
Energy Recharge w/ Electro Teammate	140% ~ 160%+
ATK	2500 or above

Due to Iansan being a buffer support that requires her Elemental Burst to be up at nearly all times, we first hit the minimum Energy Recharge she needs to reliably Burst off-cooldown, then boost her ATK as high as possible for better buffs.

Take note that Iansan needs less Energy Recharge when paired with another Electro teammate, going from the initial minimum of 200% all the way down to 160%.

Iansan's Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	Normal Attack

Iansan greatly values leveling her Elemental Burst to max as soon as possible in order to increase the potency of her ATK buffs, but this is also prioritized side-by-side with her Level.

You can then increase her Elemental Skill for the quick damage it can provide, especially since it will be used for particle generation in regular rotations, then finally her Normal Attack.

Iansan Best Artifacts

Iansan Uses Supportive Buffer Sets

For Iansan, playing her as a buffer means taking advantage of 4-pc. sets such as Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City or Noblesse Oblige, depending on whichever is needed or lacking in the team.

Otherwise, you can use 2-pc. ATK or ER combinations while working towards one of the 4-pc. sets.

Use ER or ATK Weapons for Iansan

With Iansan's buffs being ATK centered, she favors weapons that provide ATK-increasing passives like the Symphonist of Scents or Calamity Queller.

Otherwise, she can also make use of the Tamayuratei no Ohanashi event weapon, or opt for the standard Favonius Lance or Prototype Starglitter.

Iansan Best Team Comps

Universal ATK Buffer

Iansan mainly slots into Hypercarry, Overload, and Aggravate teams from a wide variety as her ATK buffs can potentially rival that of Bennett, making her a valuable ally for most DPS units in the game.

However, as universal as she is on paper, her buffs lower in quality if she is paired with DPS units that do not move around much, making that her main condition to work around when slotting her into teams.

Notable Teammates

Character	Explanation
Varesa	Main DPS Varesa's Plunges can easily maintain and maximize Iansan's buff. Moreover, Iansan can equip 4pc Scroll to further buff Varesa.
Mavuika	Main DPS Mavuika is mobile enough to maintain Iansan's buff. As a Natlan unit, she can also restore Nightsoul points for Iansan due to her A1 passive.
Xiao Gaming	Main DPS Similar to Varesa, Xiao and Gaming are Plunge-based DPS that can easily maintain Iansan's buff. Important to note that Iansan cannot buff them with 4pc Scroll.
Clorinde	Main DPS Clorinde's lunges during her skill is enough to maintain Iansan's buff. It's important to note that Iansan's Burst cooldown may force Clorinde into longer rotation.
Chevreuse	Support Great synergy with Iansan as Chevreuse prefers having only Electro and Pyro units in the team, making 4pc Scroll on Iansan easy to keep its uptime.

Iansan Buffer Support Teams

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Iansan	Mavuika	Citlali	Xilonen
Iansan	Varesa	Furina	Xianyun
Iansan	Kinich	Mavuika	Emilie
Iansan	Xiao	Faruzan	Xianyun

Iansan generally works best when used as a raw buffer unit rather than for any Electro reaction potential she brings.

In these teams, Iansan is mainly focused on amplifying the damage of the Main DPS while keeping her own abilities up with enough investment into both ATK and Energy Recharge.

Iansan Overload Teams

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support	Sub-DPS/ Support
Iansan	Mavuika	Fischl	Chevreuse
Iansan	Clorinde	Bennett	Chevreuse

Iansan can also slot into Overload teams with the correct carries, as her ATK buffs are generally helpful for the usual DPS units that are present in Overload.

Iansan Aggravate Teams

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Iansan	Varesa	Nahida	Baizhu
Iansan	Clorinde	Nahida	Baizhu

Due to being an Electro unit, Iansan is an eligible member for most Dendro-related teams, especially if the main damage dealer can benefit off Iansan's ATK buffs.

Iansan Electro-Charge Teams

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Iansan	Ayato	Ororon	Kazuha
Iansan	Tartaglia	Ororon	Sucrose

As an Electro unit, Iansan is also able to facilitate Electro-Charge procs with her Elemental Skill, but still mostly serves as a buffer in these teams.

Iansan Superconduct Teams

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS/ Support
Iansan	Eula	Raiden	Mika
Iansan	Freminet	Fischl	Mika

Due to Iansan's buffs being ATK-based, she can specifically aid Superconduct teams as most of their carries scale off the ATK stat.

Iansan Best Constellations

Carnotaurus

Constellation and Effects

	Iansan's Constellations
C1	Starting's Never Easy When Iansan is in combat and is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state, she will restore 15 Elemental Energy for every 6 Nightsoul points she consumes. This effect can trigger once every 18s.
C2	Laziness is the Enemy When using the Elemental Burst The Three Principles of Power, Iansan will also gain the Precise Movement effect from her Passive Talent "Enhanced Resistance Training" for 15s. Additionally, if Iansan is off-field while Precise Movement is active, she will also increase your current active character's ATK by 30%. You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Enhanced Resistance Training" to access the above effect.
C3	Scientific Diet Planning Increases the Level of Thunderbolt Rush by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Slow and Steady Wins the Race When the Kinetic Energy Scale is present, Iansan will gain 2 stacks of Surging Force after your current active character (excluding herself) uses their Elemental Burst. The stacks last until the Scale leaves the field, and Surging Force can be gained once per Scale summoning. Whenever Iansan restores Nightsoul points via the Scale, she will consume 1 Surging Force stack and restore 4 additional Nightsoul points. Additionally, if her Nightsoul restoration from the Scale overflows, Iansan will gain 50% of the overflow the next time she restores Nightsoul points via the Scale.
C5	We Can Push It Further Increases the Level of The Three Principles of Power by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Teachings of the Collective of Plenty The Kinetic Energy Scale's duration is increased by 3s. Additionally, when Iansan triggers Nightsoul point restoration, if there is any overflow, she will gain the Extreme Force effect, which increases the DMG dealt by your current active character by 25% for 3s.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• Reduces Iansan's Energy Recharge requirements by regenerating energy for herself once for using Nightsoul Points.
C2	★★★	• Her Elemental Burst now also gives the benefit of her passive talent, and further increases the active character's ATK by 30% while she's offi-field.
C4	★★★	• More nightsoul regeneration via the use of your next active character's Elemental Burst when her Kinetic Energy Scale from her burst is active.
C6	★★☆	• Extends Elemental Burst's duration by 3 seconds, reducing the downtime of her buffs from 6 seconds to 3 seconds. • If Iansan overcaps the Nightsoul Points regenerated, increases DMG dealt by the active character by 25% for 3 seconds.

Solid at C0, But Recommended to Max Out to C6

Iansan is incredibly solid at C0, with her constellations only giving more base ATK buffs, Nightsoul regeneration, and uptime, especially at C4.

However, if you are able to, taking Iansan all the way to C6 on paper makes her even stronger for movement heavy characters than Bennett, and will likely be more comfortable to use as she has more sources of Nightsoul regen, which ensures that your DPS is always working with enhanced damage.

Iansan Talents and How to Use

How to Buff With Iansan

Genshin - Iansan Buffs

When buffing with Iansan, her Nightsoul Points are directly responsible for how effective her ATK buffs are, with the points only being increased via movement from other party members during her Elemental Burst.

When you see the special icon have the double !! exclamation marks, that means your ATK buff is at full effect.

Iansan's Rotation

Elemental Skill -> Normal Attack -> Charged Attack to Plunge -> Elemental Burst -> Switch

After using her Elemental Skill, use her Normal and enhanced Charged Attack (which you'll see as a Plunging Attack) while in Nightsoul's Blessing state to activate her extra Nightsoul passive, then trigger her Elemental Burst.

Switch to another party member that frequently moves around the battlefield to increase her Nightsoul Points and potentially gain maximum buffs from Iansan.

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Weighted Spike
Performs up to 3 consecutive spear strikes. Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. Nightsoul State: Swift Stormflight While in the Nightsoul's Blessing state: Iansan's Charged Attack will be transformed into the formidable Swift Stormflight, consuming a certain amount of Stamina to stomp fiercely down, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG.

Elemental Skill

Thunderbolt Rush
Iansan charges forward a certain distance, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to all opponents in her path. After this Skill is used, Iansan will regain 54 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state. Within 5s after this is done, using a Normal Attack will trigger 1 quick Swift Stormflight stomp from Iansan that will not consume Stamina. Nightsoul's Blessing: Iansan Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. If she runs out, or uses this Skill again, her Nightsoul's Blessing state will end. It has the following properties: · Increases Iansan's Movement SPD. · Holding sprint will switch Iansan to Thunderbolt Rush mode, greatly increasing her Movement SPD temporarily. In this mode, Iansan can make flying leaps using terrain, or consume additional Nightsoul points to move on water or liquid Phlogiston while being immune to DMG from the latter.

Elemental Skill Dashes Forward and Strikes

Iansan's Elemental Skill allows her to dash forward and strike the ground near the enemy, dealing AoE Electro DMG.

This seems to be used as a general damage tool and as a way to regain Elemental Energy with the amount of particles generated.

Can Be Held to Sprint At Great Speeds

Similar to most Natlan characters, Iansan is able to use a portion of her kit for general traversal, using up Nightsoul Points and then Phlogiston if it is available.

As a Collective of Plenty member, Iansan can hold her Elemental Skill to sprint across terrain, breaking obstacles in her path, perform leaping jumps, and tread across water.

Elemental Burst

The Three Principles of Power
Iansan's stomping foot shatters the very earth with "Power," dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG. She then whips out her "Limited-Edition Kinetic Energy Scale (For Workouts)." When this Skill is used, Iansan will gain 15 Nightsoul points and enter the Nightsoul's Blessing state. When the Kinetic Energy Scale leaves the field, Iansan's Nightsoul's Blessing state will end. Kinetic Energy Scale The Kinetic Energy Scale will follow the character around, boosting the ATK of your current active party member in different ways based on Iansan's Nightsoul points. · If Iansan has less than 42 Nightsoul points, the ATK bonus will be based on her Nightsoul points and ATK. · If Iansan has at least 42 Nightsoul points, the Kinetic Energy Scale will switch to the "Ardent Support!" state, in which the ATK bonus will be stronger and based on her ATK alone. Additionally, the Scale will log the distance your current active character (excluding Iansan) has moved so long as it is active, restoring Nightsoul points to Iansan every second based on the distance moved in the previous second. The Scale will disappear once her Nightsoul's Blessing state ends. It will also disappear after 1 second when you are not in a state of combat. While it is active, Iansan's Nightsoul's Blessing state will not end even if she is not on the field.

Elemental Burst Provides Attack Boost

Iansan strikes the area around her, dealing AoE Electro DMG and summoning a Kinetic Energy Scale that follows the active character around.

For the duration of her Elemental Burst, this Kinetic Energy Scale raises the active character's ATK by a portion of Iansan's own ATK.

Gives Stronger Buffs With More Nightsoul Points

Iansan's Elemental Burst scales not only on her ATK, but also the amount of Nightsoul Points she has since her ATK buff's potency is based on how high her Nightsoul gauge is.

Rewards Frequency in Movement

Iansan gains Nightsoul Points through the movement of other active characters that is not her, meaning fast-moving DPS characters such as Mavuika or Kinich can take advantage of this for bigger buffs.

Vertical scaling characters such as Gaming and Xiao can also contribute to Iansan's Nightsoul Point acquisition, making her quite flexible for team comps.

Passive Talent 1

Enhanced Resistance Training
After Swift Stormflight hits opponents, Iansan will gain the Precise Movement effect for 15s. During this time, her ATK is increased by 20%, and whenever she regains Nightsoul points through the Kinetic Energy Scale in her Elemental Burst, The Three Principles of Power, she will gain 1 extra Nightsoul point. Additionally, when your current active party member consumes or restores Nightsoul points, the extra Nightsoul points Iansan gains the next time she restores Nightsoul points via the Scale will be increased to 4. This effect can occur once every 2.8s. "Precise Movement" will expire when Iansan's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends.

Passive Talent 2

Kinetic Energy Gradient Test
When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Iansan will obtain the Warming Up effect for 10s. During this time, when Iansan restores at least 1 Nightsoul point, she will heal your current active character for 60% of her ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 2.8s.

Passive Talent Provides Healing Through Nightsoul Bursts

Iansan's "Warming Up Effect" allows her to regenerate the active character's HP over a period of time when a Nightsoul Burst is triggered, allowing her to provide some healing to the team.

Passive Talent 3

Night Realm's Gift: Hard Work and Drive
After Nightsoul points have been fully depleted and Iansan is on the field, she will switch to using Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul's Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, Nightsoul Transmission: Iansan can be used. When the current active character is sprinting or in movement modes caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, switching to Iansan will trigger the following: Iansan enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state and obtains 25 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own party. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, Iansan will not take fall DMG when using terrain differences to make leaps.

Thoughts About Iansan

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Chasca	I've always felt that training oneself and training others are two very different skillsets. Very few people have them both, but Iansan has them in spades. I, for one, am not very good at teaching other people. Whenever I'm trying to demonstrate something to the flying squad, I spend forever trying to explain some basic, boring detail that seems intuitive to me... only to have everyone ask, ''What's intuitive about that!?'' If only Iansan could tutor them, I bet we'd have twice as many candidates pass the flying trials each year... Shame that her training program doesn't include flying.
Citlali	I don't know her that well, but I do know light novels... Someone who's that powerful despite her size must have some kind of power-up that she uses to shoot up to seven feet tall and fight with 200% strength.
Kachina	Before, when I wanted to become stronger, I asked lansan to train me. She had me do all sorts of high-intensity workouts, and I often only managed to get through them by pushing myself to the limit. Luckily, she always knew just the right amount of training for me, so I still had just enough. energy to make my way home after each session... I'm really grateful to her.
Kinich	Kinich: I've taken jobs from her before. More of a long-term collaboration, really... She makes fitness meals for her personal-training students, with everything measured out to the exact calorie. To keep this up, she needs a steady supply of fruits that meet her strict quality. standards and size requirements. A single bruise or bug bite, and she'll reject the entire batch. Most people find this impossible to work with, but I've got a good eye for these things... plus a reliable means of disposal for fruits that don't make the grade. Ajaw: Wait, what? ... THAT'S what you make my juice from!?
Mavuika	Being Targeted: A lot of people underestimated lansan during her first few Pilgrimages after receiving her Ancient Name, and singled her out during the team stage as an easy target. Even though she never lost, the constant challengers drained her stamina and affected her ranking, which only made people more likely to target her... Proving Yourself: My advice to her was this - people are less likely to mess with someone whose strength is undeniable, so all she needed to do was to prove it. Well, she decided to do just that... by challenging me in the arena, hahaha. Yeah, I definitely didn't see that coming! In the end, she put up quite the fight, and no one underestimated her again..
Mualani	Iansan is the pride of the Collective of Plenty and all of Natlan. She's been part of so many Pilgrimages, and is still unbeaten to this day! I registered for her training class, actually, paid the tuition fee and everything. I just haven't started because, uh... I've been too busy to train... Okay, fine. I'll admit... When I saw what looked like when she finished her training, I heard a voice inside me say, "Hey, you belong in the water. Stay dry on land for too long, and you'll wind up stranded there." Sometimes, you've just gotta listen to your heart!
Ororon	Iansan is a famous sports coach, and well... All I can say is, I'm grateful the Pyro Archon didn't send her after me. I may have an advantage when it comes to height, but I'm pretty sure she can outrun me... Oh, the smoke-cloud trick? Heh, after you use it a bunch, people start to see it coming.
Varesa	Coach and Commander: Iansan is my coach. I look up to her the most out of anyone! She helped me discover my true strength, taught me how to fight, and even got me a job in our tribe's Patrol Team. She's pretty well respected in the patrol team, so most of the time she gives me my orders, and I go join the fighting wherever I'm needed. I guess that makes her both my coach and my commander, too!
Xilonen	I once helped the Collective of Plenty make a couple sets of super heavy weight plates and dumbbells. When it was time for the goods to be picked up, Iansan came with a group from the tribe to inspect the finished products. She picked up and checked every single weight before placing them one by one into a cart. After lifting all those weights, she was barely winded, and her face was only a little red. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of them. Not only are they really strong, but they've also got a way with plants...

Iansan's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Citlali	About Citlali I have a lot of respect for Granny Itztli, but ... I can't say I agree with her lifestyle choices. I used to think she was a fellow early riser, because I'd always see her up and about on my morning runs - turns out she'd actually stayed up all night and was finally heading home to sleep ... And she's been living like that for what, 200 years? How her body hasn't given out on her by now, I'll never know. The shamans in that tribe are just built different, I guess.
Kachina	About Kachina Kachina's a very special student. Mostly because of the sheer number of classes she's attended over the years ... So many times, I've watched her nervously walk into the stadium, only to leave later looking crushed and defeated. Then she comes to find me to apologize for her poor performance - although honestly, I feel like I've failed her by not delivering on the promises I make in my advertising. Anyway, since then, I've waived all her fees, and told her she can train with me whenever she wants. I see huge potential in her, but I know she has her own issues ... I've done all I can do as a coach, so whatever other challenges she faces, she'll have to conquer them on her own.
Kinich	About Kinich Kinich always does a great job whenever I need someone to hand-pick the best fruit from Varesa's orchard. Working with him would be a joy - if it weren't for that little monster he hangs around with ... He says the nastiest things. Someone really needs to teach him some manners. I'd very happily do that myself, of course - I'm sure one of my training programs would whip Ajaw into shape - and in fact I've offered that to Kinich before. But, he turned me down. I guess he has his own way of keeping Ajaw in line.
Mavuika	About Mavuika Because of the childhood I had, I don't like relying on other people or needing their protection. But when Mavuika is around, even I feel comfortable letting her take the lead. To be clear, that's not because she's the leader and I'm intimidated by her. Quite the opposite. It's because I trust her as a close friend. Following her just feels right ... almost instinctive, like moving towards the light when you're surrounded by darkness.
Mualani	About Mualani Mualani has always impressed me. She's never taken any formal fitness training, and yet her strength and physique are better than most of the students I've had. She actually did sign up for a class once upon a time, but never ended up coming along. Maybe water sports are just more effective at inducing all round muscle development? Who knows, but I suspect the key is her frame of mind. As far as I know, she's never gone out and trained with the specific goal of achieving a certain kind of body.
Varesa	About Varesa Attitude: Ah, Varesa ... She's my star student, my pride and joy. I hope she hasn't made a bad impression on you ... Oh - no, not like that. When push comes to shove, I'm sure she pulls her weight in battle, and I know she has things under control at the end of the day. It's just, she can be a little ... too relaxed, you know? I feel like if I'm not there constantly pushing her to stay focused, she'll lose all sense of time and treat every day like she's on vacation. Leave the house to run an errand, but then saunter along without a care in the world, letting herself get distracted by every morsel of food she passes along the way ... Once in a while that's fine, but you can't live like that when you're out adventuring, and the stakes are so high! Anyway, I've told her all this before, so hopefully I've gotten through to her by now. But ... the other thing that worries me is the amount of food she needs. I mean, you tell me - is it really practical to go hiking through the hills with a sack of food on your back the size of a baby tatankasaur? Moderation: My biggest concern for Varesa right now is that her energy management seems out of control. Her metabolism seems like it's stuck on a high-burn mode, meaning she wastes an awful lot of energy, and I suspect that's the cause of her alarming appetite. I do hope she takes some time to look into what makes her this way. I'd love to see her gain the ability to manage her energy expenditure a little better, so she doesn't need to eat like a horse every single meal ... I mean, it's nice to see her thoroughly enjoy her food, but at the same time, I want to urge her to be more mindful of what she's putting in her body. It's never a good idea to just gorge yourself - you have to pay attention to nutrition and quantity, and especially limit your fat and sugar intake. Much better to get her diet under control now than have to deal with the consequences when she develops health issues later in life.
Xilonen	About Xilonen Xilonen is the first friend I ever made from the Children of Echoes. I have all sorts of new ideas when I'm designing fitness equipment, and she's one of the few people who can actually bring them to life. And not just that, but the build quality is always exceptional. My only issue is that she always pushes back on my deadlines ... but I guess if you want something done well, it takes the time it takes.
