Lan Yan is an Anemo shielder in Genshin Impact. She suffers from a scaling issue that divides her between two entirely different stats in Genshin Impact. She either scales with ATK% and functions as a shielder Support, or she scales with Elemental Mastery and operates as a quick in-and-out Sub-DPS that deals mediocre DMG.
This scaling problem used to affect the older 4-star units, which had multiple underwhelming roles determined by which stats you chose to develop, similar to Xinyan in Genshin Impact.

Lan Yan Best Artifact In Genshin Impact
If you dig deep into Lan Yan’s kit, you’ll find that she’s only useful for her shield, which is not comparable to the best shielders in Genshin Impact. Not only that, shielding, in general, is not that important during combat since most of Genshin Impact’s content is a race against time trials. With all this considered, it’s still better to build Lan Yan on ATK% since that’s her only useful utility.
For the best artifacts for Lan Yan in Genshin Impact, build Lan Yan with 4pc of Viridescent Venerer since it will give her the ability to reduce enemies’ resistance to the Element she Swirls. If you already have a VV user or don’t want to build her with this set, you can always place 4pc of Noblesse Oblige to increase your team’s ATK by 20%.
Lan Yan Best Weapon In Genshin Impact
Since it’s better for Lan Yan to operate as a Support in Genshin Impact, players can give her weapons that amplify this quality. Starting from Starcaller's Watch, building Lan Yan with this Catalyst gives her the ability to buff the main DPS’ DMG by 28%, which can be super useful for the team.
On the other hand, Hakushin Ring is a great option if you’re pairing Lan Yan with an Electro unit in Genshin Impact. The 4-star F2P weapon grants Lan Yan and all Electro units in her team up to 20% extra Elemental DMG.
Finally, you can always build any Catalyst user in Genshin Impact with Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers to allow Lan Yan to massively buff the next character’s ATK%.
