Version 5.3 Release Date and Details

Lan Yan Kit and How to Use

Anemo Catalyst Shielder

Lan Yan's main bread and butter is her ability to dash into combat, generating an Anemo shield and throwing her Anemo-infused Glaives into enemies to trigger Elemental Reactions.

From this, it seems that Lan Yan's main role in a team is that of a Swirl Support that aids the team with both Shields for sustain and Swirls for Elemental DMG.

Elemental Skill Generates Anemo Shield

Lan Yan's Elemental Skill has her dash into an opponent, and jumping back upon making contact, generating a shield in the process.

Once in the air, she can throw her Glaives at enemies, dealing Anemo DMG with her weapon bouncing between nearby enemy targets.

Can Be Infused By Other Elements

When Lan Yan dashes into an opponent affected by an element, her Shield and Glaive are infused by this element, generating that Element's shield and dealing the same element's DMG.

This allows Lan Yan to be versatile in how her shield and kit works, as her Shield can be infused to better suit the teams needs and her Glaive can trigger related Elemental Reactions.

Can Be Held to Traverse Terrain

Holding her Elemental Skill allows Lan Yan to dash a short distance in whichever direction she is facing, allowing her to scale mountains or cross gaps with ease.

Elemental Burst Summons Anemo Vortex

Lan Yan's Elemental Burst channels an Anemo vortex that seems to deal damage to enemies in an area, while knocking them airborne and pulling them closer to the center of the Burst.

Anemo-Infused Normal Attacks

Lan Yan's Normal Attacks uses her Anemo-infused Glaives to deal DMG to opponents.

This seems to be a way for Lan Yan to support the team with Swirls and deal DMG on her own.

Crystalfly Gathering Convenience

Lan Yan's Exploration Passive lets her approach wildlife without startling them, allowing for a more efficient and stress-free way to collect resources such as Crystal Cores.
