Genshin Impact: The best artifact set for Yelan – Heart of Depth, Emblem of Severed Fate, and other options

Let’s discuss the best artifact sets in Genshin Impact for Yelan.

Emblem of Severed Fate (4-piece)

• 2-piece bonus – +20% energy recharge.
• 4-piece bonus – Increases elemental burst damage by 25% of energy recharge; max of 75%.

Emblem of Severed Fate from the Momiji-Dyed Court is one of the best artifact sets for Yelan in Genshin Impact. It ensures that Yelan will always have her burst available once its cooldown ends, while also increasing her burst damage.

Noblesse Oblige (4-piece)

• 2-piece bonus – +20% elemental burst damage.
• 4-piece bonus – Party members gain +20% ATK for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst.

Noblesse Oblige might be viable because of the elemental burst increase and the subsequent buff to your allies. Because Yelan will be off the field, your active character/s will benefit from the boost.

2-piece combos: Heart of Depth and Tenacity of the Millelith

• 2-piece bonus (Heart of Depth) – +15% Hydro damage.
• 2-piece bonus (Tenacity of the Millelith) – +20% HP.

A third option also exists, and that’s combining Heart of Depth and Tenacity of the Millelith for their respective 2-piece bonuses. Alternatively, you could also opt for either of these, plus Emblem of Severed Fate or Noblesse Oblige.

Artifact rolls

• Main stats – Due to scaling, you’ll want an HP% sands and a Hydro goblet. As for the circlet, crit damage is a suitable main stat, though you could try to have HP% as well (assuming the crit damage sub-stat rolled high enough).
• Sub-stats – You’ll want crit damage, HP%, and energy recharge on your artifact rolls. Extra crit rate might also be necessary, though you should consider Yelan’s ascension.

Note: Yelan’s character ascension will also increase her crit rating (up to 24.2% past level 80). The end goal is to have 65%+ crit rating, more than double that for crit damage, quite a bit of HP% for scaling, and energy recharge so you can burst off-cooldown.

In any case, let’s go to the next part of our Genshin Impact Yelan guide to talk about character ascension materials.
