Lan Yan Kit in Genshin Impact
Lan Yan’s kit has been revealed in Genshin Impact 5.3 Livestream. Here is everything you need to know:
- Normal Attack: Black Pheasant Strides on Water
- Elemental Skill: Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance
- Elemental Burst: Lustrous Moonrise
- Passive 1: Thought and Intent, Like Silken Scent
- Passive 2: Four Sealing Divination Charms
- Passive 3: Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm
Black Pheasant Strides on Water — Lan Yan’s Normal Attack
- Normal attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive attacks dealing Anemo damage.
- Charged attack: Throws out a Feathermoon Ring by consuming a certain amount of Stamina and deals Anemo damage.
- Plunging Attack: Gathers the power of Anemo and plunges towards the ground from mid-air, damaging all opponents in her path. Deals AoE Anemo Damage upon impact with the ground.
Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance — Lan Yan’s Elemental Skill
Summoning forth the Swallow-Wisp Shield, a secret art passed down across generations, Lan Yan dashes forward and, upon making contact with her target, will leap back into the air. The Swallow-Wisp Shield’s damage absorption scales based on her Attack, and has a 250% absorption efficiency against Anemo Damage. While in mid-air due to the effects of her Elemental Skill, pressing her Elemental Skill again or pressing Normal Attack will cause Lan Yan to hurl her Feathermoon Rings at an opponent, and they will spin between nearby opponents twice upon hit, dealing Anemo Damage. Holding the Skill will cause it to behave differently.
Lustrous Moonrise — Lan Yan’s Elemental Burst
Lan Yan pulls in nearby opponents and objects by creating a Feathermoon Swallow Array, and deals multiple instances of AoE Anemo Damage.
Lan Yan Passive Talents in Genshin Impact
- Thought and Intent, Like Silken Scent: When Lan Yan is in the party, your characters will not startle Crystalflies and certain other animals when getting near them. Check the “Other” sub-category of the “Living Beings / Wildlife” section in the Archive for creatures this skill works on.
- Four Sealing Divination Charms: When the dash from the Elemental Skill hits a target, if it interacts with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, the Swallow-Wisp Shield will undergo Elemental Conversion, with the converted shield absorbing Damage from the corresponding element with 250% efficiency. Additionally, if this use of Swallow-Wisp Pinion Dance causes the Swallow-Wisp Shield to undergo Elemental Conversion, the Feathermoon Rings that Lan Yan throws at her foes additionally deal Elemental Damage equal to 50% of the original in the corresponding Elemental Type. This Damage is considered Elemental Skill Damage.
- Skyfeather Evil-Subduing Charm: The Elemental Skill and the Elemental Burst deal increased Damage equal to 309% and 774% of Lan Yan’s Elemental Mastery respectively.
Genshin Impact Lan Yan Constellations

- “On White Wings Pierce Through Cloud and Fog” (C3): Elemental Skill Level + 3
- “With Drakefalcon’s Blood-Pearls Adorned” (C4): After Lan Yan uses her Elemental Burst Lustrous Moonrise, the Elemental Mastery of all nearby party members increases by 60 for 12 seconds.
