5) Favonius Warbow

The Favonius Warbow is a decent weapon for Yelan to wield, as it grants her the ability to proc the Windfall effect. This grants her or her party members some Energy whenever she lands a critical hit.

This is a good 4-star bow for players who don't have much Energy Recharge on their Yelan.


4) Stringless

The Stringless bow is a powerful 4-star choice for Yelan as it will boost the damage of her Elemental Skill and Burst by a significant amount.

The only downside to this bow is the substat of Elemental Mastery. However, Genshin Impact players with decent stats on their Artifacts will still want to give this bow a try.


3) Fading Twilight

The Fading Twilight is a new 4-star bow that looks set to arrive during the 2.7 update as a free event weapon.

This bow will provide Yelan with some extra Energy Recharge from the substrate. It will also grant her a powerful bonus that can increase her damage by up to 28% at Refinement 5.


2) Elegy for the End

This 5-star bow is specifically made to boost supportive units. It can provide a ton of buffing opportunities to Yelan's team, allowing them to boost her damage even more.

This is especially good for a reaction-based team like Raiden's National team.


1) Aqua Simulacra

Yelan's signature 5-star bow is at the top of the list as it grants her the best stats and effects to boost her damage by an incredible amount.

The Aqua Simulacra works especially well on Yelan as it grants her a boost to damage while she is close to the enemy. This helps both her Elemental Skill and Burst.
