| Character Details | When it comes time for the residents of Chenyu Vale to spruce up their homes, there is more than just the usual panoply of intricately carved wooden beds and tables on offer. They also have a fine selection of wickerwork furnishings to choose from — delicately crafted by their own master rattan weaver. This latter option provides a distinctive, refreshing, and elegant style and is something the Vale's residents know they can always rely on as a safe choice. While fine silk garments imported from Liyue Harbor have an undeniable allure, cloth dyed locally is both durable and functional, and exhibits patterns and colors that exude a familiar charm. Yet it is the crafting of silver and jade into objects of great beauty for which Chenyu Vale's artisans are perhaps best known, so much so that the owner of Mingxing Jewelry — a time-honored and respected establishment in Liyue Harbor — regularly dispatches representatives to come looking for wares. Silver-smithing, jade-carving, cloth-dying, rattan-weaving, and countless other crafts — Chenyu Vale is famed as the home of the most outstanding and accomplished artisans in each field. Skilled, dextrous, and creative are but a few words that could be used to describe them. Lan Yan is a master rattan weaver and a Chenyu Vale Artisans Association member. Should a wandering traveler get lost in the tranquil valley, betwixt sparkling mountain springs and gnarled and ancient tea trees, and there stumble upon a smiling young woman, adorned in silver ornaments, it might well be Lan Yan, out collecting rattan vines. Feel free to ask her for directions, for she will kindly guide you through the swirling mountain mists of Chenyu Vale and set you on the path to the picturesque hamlet of Qiaoying Village, with its white brick walls and gray tiled roofs. |
| Character Story 1 | Chenyu Vale has long been praised as a cradle of artisans, with many a master craftsperson honing their skills in the picturesque surroundings of Qiaoying Village. With generations of artisans living and working together, the village tradespeople naturally chose to form a collective to protect their shared interests. Now, they proudly announce themselves as members of the Chenyu Vale Artisans Association, spreading prestige for their hometown and their skills everywhere they go. Members of the association not only look out for each other in crafting and trade, but they form a close-knit, neighborly group who are always there for each other in good times and in bad. Ask any member of the association about rattan weaving, and one name above all you would hear — Lan Yan. Despite her youth, she excels at weaving all manner of rattan goods while also having a grasp on the arcane Qimen arts. It is said that "skills honed to the highest pinnacle produce art that touches the divine realm." The venerable masters believe that anyone who reaches the apex of their craft will uncover abilities that cut through the spiritual divide. To them, Lan Yan — with her Vision and attunement to the Qimen arts — is a truly remarkable young woman. As for Lan Yan herself, well, she's having none of it. When others shower her with praise, this is her usual, slightly abashed retort: "I'm really only interested in rattan weaving." A merchant from Liyue Harbor once came bearing gifts of gold and words of praise. He humbly requested that "Lan Yan the Master Rattan Weaver" produce two pieces of furniture for his new home. While waiting patiently in the association's halls, he had expected to be greeted by a serious, even taciturn face — one perhaps wizened by age. Yet when Lan Yan entered, he was shocked to discover a bright-eyed, fresh-faced young woman. Her joy and exuberance were evident as she greeted all those present with glee. There was no hint of arrogance in her demeanor. When the merchant told her of his request, she simply nodded and said, "Leave it to me!" as though her craft was as simple as pouring a cup of tea. With that, she shouldered her basket and headed out into the hills to pick the necessary vines. The artisan tasked with greeting the association's guests patted the merchant on the shoulder. "Lan Yan's a straightforward young craftswoman, there's no need to stand on ceremony with her. She agreed to your request, so, the way she sees it, why not get started? Come on, let's go and get something to snack on while you wait." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2 |
| Character Story 2 | To Lan Yan's mind, the process of weaving rattan goods is a simple one. The first step is to gather enough vines. In the verdant mountains, the first rays of the morning sun are the purest, and as the last birds to rise lend their voices to the dawn chorus, Lan Yan sets off towards the wooded slopes with her trusty bamboo basket and pruning knife in hand. The vines like to grow where the soil is moist, though whether they prefer to bask in the sunlight or take shelter in the shade appears to be a matter of temperament and personal preference. Different vines are suited to the weaving of different objects. A folding screen, for example, requires a certain stubborn resilience. Lan Yan often looks for such vines in old-growth forests, with their ancient trees towering high overhead — to climb and cling on to such imposing trees requires a more rugged constitution. In contrast, a woven flower basket calls for vines of a more supple nature. These vines are often found by the water's edge, where the thirsty rattan palms send out myriad soft offshoots that cover the ground like a carpet. Such soft vines can be bent to form the shape of a basket without snapping. Once enough vines have been collected, it is time to return home and process them. The woody cores can be used to shape and weave a solid frame, while the skin, once peeled away, can be woven into a fabric-like material that helps give rattan goods their finished shape. Both of these materials must first be washed and dried. Lan Yan likes to sing while she soaks and stirs the rattan strips — and as she pulls them out of the water, one by one, to dry them in the courtyard. Sometimes her mother and father will join her, and they will talk and laugh while they lay the strips out in the sun. Once the cores and skins have been processed, then comes the most crucial part of the process — weaving. Rattan weaving requires significant concentration — warp and weft, along and across. From a pile of cores and strips of skin, a perfectly sculpted object begins to take shape. Lan Yan views the fruits of her labor not so much as products, but as living entities, lovingly birthed by her hands. Even if two of her creations might appear indistinguishable to an outside observer, she can tell them apart by the subtle changes in touch and force applied, the order of her weaving, or the emotions she felt while she made them. Each of her rattan children has its unique feel. While weaving, Lan Yan maintains a singular focus on her task. She is not easily distracted by idle chatter, nor the excited cries of her neighbors' cats and dogs, nor graceful swallows swooping beneath the eaves. There are times — perhaps to escape the noise — when she will take her work to a familiar mountainside to sit in silence and weave. Unlike her family at home, the flowers, birds, fish, and insects that roam freely in the forested hills feel no need to leave a quiet space for Lan Yan to weave in. The most mischievous offenders are the little foxes, who, indulging their natural curiosity, come to watch Lan Yan as she works, nudging and sniffing at her jugs and jars, spilling her varnish and inadvertently waterproofing their paws. The panicked foxes then trample on the flower basket she has been weaving, leaving shiny paw prints in their wake. Thanks to this unique touch — the innocence of the wilderness — this basket will become one of Lan Yan's favorite creations. That is how rattan weaving is — simple yet never boring, and this experience is one of Lan Yan's most cherished and happiest moments in a life spent devoted to her craft. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3 |
| Character Story 3 | Much like the exorcists who dwell on Mt. Tianheng, the Lan clan, with their affinity for the Qimen arts, have long made Chenyu Vale their home. One such art requires the use of rattan figures. As a result, such figures — and the skills to make them — are something the Lan clan values highly. What sets Lan Yan apart, is that unlike the rest of her family, who view rattan weaving as a means to an end, she views it as an art in itself, one whose importance far outstrips the arcane and esoteric purposes that fascinate her kin. Though Lan Yan once studied the classic texts of the Qimen arts under the tutelage of her relatives, she did little more than scratch the surface, and her knowledge pales before experienced practitioners. Then again, she does not claim to be an expert, though that doesn't stop curious members of the association from asking her to perform rituals or ward off ill omens. After receiving too many such requests, Lan Yan can only sigh. Born into a branch of the Lan clan, Lan Yan does not conform to the typical image of a geomancer that an outsider might have. The only visible sign of her heritage is her silver hair ornament, modeled after the "Jade-Plumed Silverwing." This heirloom symbolizes the Lan clan's connections to the "Eight Adepts" — significant figures in Liyue's history. The term refers to eight great heroes who once fought against the god Tao Dou. Of these eight heroes, the Jade-Plumed Silverwing, Lone Butterfly of the Crimson Flame, and Gold-Eyed Celadon Mare are known as the Three Beasts of Tao Dou. Of the remaining five, Wind Reader, the Wuwang Kid, and the Yunlai Angler were honored as the Three Hermits of Guizang. They and the Two Sages of Lianshan were all human. The Jade-Plumed Silverwing had a deep connection with Wind Reader, who was a truly remarkable individual. It was he who first taught the Lan clan the secrets of the Qimen arts. The silver ornament that Lan Yan now wears in her hair has been passed down from generation to generation so that the descendants of the Lan clan never forget where they came from. Lan Yan knows the story of the Eight Adepts well and regularly makes trips to watch Liyue opera performances that tell of their exploits. Despite this, their story never left a strong impression on her. Throughout Liyue's long history, selfless acts for the benefit of future generations — or "planting trees for the children of tomorrow," as the locals like to say — have been a recurring motif. Many such tales have already been lost to the winds of time, while others have entered the collective psyche and become part of Liyue's living folk memory. And because such stories exist, carefree, exuberant young men and women like Lan Yan are free to roam the wild slopes of Chenyu Vale, smiling and laughing and singing folk songs amidst nature's beauty. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | Whenever Lantern Rite rolls along, the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Liyue Harbor is especially busy organizing street fairs, performances, and all sorts of other festive activities. Ministry officials — often rushed off their feet — can be seen dashing hither and thither, attempting to enlist the most capable members of Liyue society to contribute toward the most important festival of the year. In previous years, the Chenyu Vale Artisans Association has always been happy to send their representatives to help. This year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked specifically for Lan Yan. For Lan Yan, who grew up in the leafy confines of the vale, rarely venturing beyond its verdant slopes except to accompany her grandfather on his travels, this was her first real journey to the city. Like so many customers who have traveled to Chenyu Vale to seek the services of the famed rattan weaving master, those at the Ministry of Civil Affairs were shocked to discover that the master artisan whose help they sought was a fresh-faced, unimposing young woman. The young artisan politely rejected the food and lodging the ministry offered, preferring to wander the city streets by herself, conversing with visitors and citizens alike — to use her own words, "This is my first time coming as far as Liyue Harbor, I'd like to find my own way around." She ate her first meal in the Wanmin Restaurant, where she was taken unawares by the spicy boiled fish, and was left gulping down water to cool the fires on her tongue. She then spent much of her first evening wandering Chihu Rock, before Liyue Harbor's nighttime soundscape soothed her to sleep. Her first conversation was with a soldier returning home from a posting to the Chasm. The soldier helped a lost Lan Yan find her bearings and, upon hearing she had come from Chenyu Vale, told her at length of the red mountains of the Chasm and played her a melodious tune. "The world truly is a large place," she thought. Liyue itself is already home to many people and places, each unique in their own way. The waters of Chenyu Vale sport gentle beauty and natural charm, the clamorous streets of Liyue Harbor burst with bustling color, and the stark landscapes of the Chasm are vast and imposing. And outside Liyue... an even larger world awaits. For the first time in her life, Lan Yan desired to see more of the world, to use the rattan strands of her hometown to weave the scenes she might see there to become one with her own heart. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | It is rare to see Lan Yan without a smile on her face, and even her best friends would be hard-pressed to recall a time they've seen her cry. Of course, she too has moments of unhappiness, though they are few and far between. Whenever she feels sad, all she needs to do is allow a mischievous lamb to butt its head against her leg or a fluffy puppy to nip her hand, and her worries melt away like morning snow. As far as Lan Yan is concerned, every second spent thinking unhappy thoughts is time that could be better devoted to playing happily with the beasts of the fields and forests. Most of the time, an afternoon whiled away among the tea trees with her animal friends is enough to dispel unpleasant feelings. However, there are times when more drastic action is required — such as letting her cares wash away while swimming in the wilds. There isn't a pool or waterway between Qiaoying Village and Mt. Lingmeng that Lan Yan hasn't swum in, nor a crisp mountain spring that hasn't filled her cupped hands or reflected her face. She reclines in the water, the gentle current keeping her afloat, as her black hair swirls on the surface and tiny fish nibble playfully at her feet. All the while, warm rays of sunlight cast dappled shadows on the streambed below. Here she daydreams in viridian and emerald hues of a life much the same as hers. She wakes at dawn in such dreams, in a house with white brick walls and a gray tiled roof. There she drinks a cup of morning tea, before punting a bamboo raft down the stream outside, singing all the while. In her dream, too, she weaves rattan objects, as a tiny dog bounds over to her side and licks her hand. And with that, she awakens. Like every son and daughter of Chenyu Vale, Lan Yan is as simple and pure as a clear mountain spring. She has everything she wants and so doesn't dwell on dreams. The bright lights and exotic sights of the world outside are no more attractive to her than a butterfly to a deer. Sure, a curious deer may leave its verdant slopes to gaze upon a passing butterfly, but it will soon return to whence it came to happily graze once more. Wherever Lan Yan's travels may take her, it is never long before she returns home to Chenyu Vale. Even the most wonderful dreams cannot compare to the scent of freshly roasted tea leaves, just as even the most distant fantasies cannot compete with the beauty of the swirling mountain mists that wreath Mt. Xuanlian. After wringing out her hair by the water's edge and getting back into her dry clothes, Lan Yan carefully dons each of her silver bracelets, earrings, and necklace. It is time for her to return home. The silver ornamentations that adorn her are gifts from her family, and they chime and jingle as she walks, playing a melodious mountain tune. Wherever she goes, she is accompanied by joyful music. Swimming in the wilds is not without its dangers, and she has been reprimanded by her grandfather on more than one occasion. There would surely be more stern words if she were to be caught again today. Next time, she muses, it might be better to take a friend. But that's a matter for another day. Tonight, there is Tea-Smoked Squab on the menu. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| Song of Swallows | "Swallows nest when skies are fair, but hide when storms are in the air." "When death is near and all hopes fade, the swallow comes, a life to trade." This is one of the many superstitions that Lan Yan has told you of. She warned you to treat swallows with care, for when our final moments approach, a swallow may well appear before the gates of Tao Dou to take your place in death. To hear her tell it, her grandfather also claimed that swallows could bring about an early demise if treated unkindly. It's easy to get on board with the message preaching kindness and the sanctity of life, but the part about dying if you're not quite nice enough seems a little extreme. Many such old superstitions are as unfathomable to people today as rain that falls from a cloudless sky — ideas such as "fingernails shouldn't be cut at night," "chopsticks mustn't be laid horizontally on bowls," or "a new season's first picking of tea cannot be drunk by children." In truth, even though kindness to swallows is a widely practiced folk tradition in Chenyu Vale, to most youths, the idea is nothing more than a nursery rhyme, sung to them as infants. Only the Lan family upholds this tradition with the rigor of an unwritten rule — any swallow that builds its nest beneath their eaves is welcome to stay for as long as it may please. "They can be bothersome at times, but once the swallows get to know me, they like to hop up on my shoulder and keep me company while I weave." When she told you this, you were with her in Jademouth, riding Uncle Bosu's bamboo raft. The old man's singing was accompanied by a gentle breeze, while a pelican lay fast asleep in the back of the boat. The silver swallow in her hair glinted brightly in the sunlight, as warm and lustrous as her eyes. Gazing at that ornament, you couldn't help but wonder if the Lan family's tradition of caring for swallows might stem from their history with the Jade-Plumed Silverwing, and your thoughts turned to the stories of those ancient days. Seeing the glazed expression in your eyes, Lan Yan leaned in and gently tweaked your nose. As though waking from a dream, you were greeted by her smiling face, and not far in the distance, the sights and sounds of the docks told you that your journey was almost at an end. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Vision | Much like all handicrafts, rattan weaving is a skill that relies more on the body than the mind. Once a frame has been crafted and the overall shape of an object set, Lan Yan must use the utmost care to weave each warp and every weft. After years of practice, the skills and movements of her craft have not only been burned into her brain but become second nature and muscle memory. On a deeper level, this process has also gradually refined and clarified her spirit. Lan Yan is a master rattan weaver. She has never been given over to grandiose dreams of chasing the moon and the stars, nor of forsaking all that she has and living her life as a hermit on some distant mountain. Her life is a simple one, natural and unadorned. As she weaves, her hands honor the memories of days past, retracing their steps to expertly craft delicate patterns and shapes. All the while, her heart does not lie idle, for she is thinking of the mountain mists, the vines that climb the cliffs and crags, and the sensation of freshly fallen leaves beneath her bare and carefree feet. She thinks of Chenyu Vale — of her family amidst the mountains and rivers — and the rattan in her hands becomes supple and pliable to her will. She dreams of weaving these beautiful things with her own two hands so that her memories can live forever in the objects she creates. Perhaps because her heart is filled with warmth and kindness, the objects that Lan Yan crafts exude a simple, gentle spirit. Perhaps that's also why the cats, dogs, birds, and squirrels of Chenyu Vale are never scared to approach her. "Even the adepti come to watch Lan Yan weave." Her grandfather had once proudly claimed. No one could know for sure if the adepti had ever truly stopped in passing to watch Lan Yan perform her craft. Lan Yan herself believes that beings who would pour their power into protecting the waters and mountains of the vale, and all those who dwelt there, would surely have an appreciation for handicrafts so lovingly created and imbued with the spirit of their creator. So when she discovered a Vision glinting softly at the bottom of her rattan basket, she was not surprised. She simply picked it up and continued on her way, gathering rattan vines. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

i guess hoyo’s vision for her is for
f2p aggravate chlorinde(calamity of enshu) + lanyan + nahida + (free slot)
She’s so cute!! I’m planning on building her as a DPS. idc if she’s c0 or if her kit is “bad”, I want to play her and as long as you build the character right they can always be good somewhere. Thankfully, I want every new character in 5.3 so I’ll have the chance to get cons.
Anyway Winners Love Winning and her (probably) being free is a huge win for me! 🙂
Lanyan taser (replacing Sucrose) might be viable:
With an average 4* weapon she will have ~750 base ATK, plus the feather, totalling to ~1100 ATK, with which she will provide ~7000 shield.
But! Xingqiu+Beidou together provide ~85% DMG reduction (which unlike RES, is purely additive, meaning 100% DMG reduction will make you invincible), and Lanyan’s 7000 points of shield will have an effective absorption of ~46667, thicker than an average Zhongli’s shield that is without the DMG reductions.
This means her shield in such taser teams will be strong enough without dedicated equipments, and you can use any DPS set and weapon.
lemme guess, another mediocre 4star?
(reads kit)
ok so either full atk for an ok shield, or classic sub dps support with nonsense shield and mediocre damage so needed healer
final verdict: B tier or low A at c0 and average A at c6 (and only because of VV set, no need to say)
8s shield is just bad.
Even 2 charges at C6 doesn’t look enticing.
will lanyan be viable for ganyu? or should i still pull for Zhongli ???
Finally!!! I have dreamt of having an anemo shielder (that infuses the elements on the shield) since the game’s debut, and finally we get one!!!!
I really like her kit, she’s a dps but also has shield support potential. She’s like an upgraded version of heizou because what he lacked in dmg mitigation/interruption is going to be addressed in her kit through shields. Also, i don’t mind the em scaling on her passive – em is always welcomed in anemo units cuz it increases swirl dmg – plus it increases the dmg on both the skill and burst so it’s a WIN.
Only issue really is the shield duration; 8s duration with 16s cd is NOT IT if we plan to use her as a shield support. C6 gives additional charge but we all know how difficult it is to get 4* cons. One solution i can think of is to use sac frags and go full atk VV set solely for a shield support role.
Really excited for her!! Can’t wait
She is so cute, and I love chakrams, so I wish she would be pretty strong. Unfortunately, I don’t think her kit will be that strong, but I might as well finally make a tazer or whatever team, just cuz she is so cute.
Hydro MC: Finally… a worthy opponent!
8 sec duration for a 16 cooldown is harsh for shield. Also, why do they always give 4 stars a burst that does damage when they are supposed to be supports…
because they’re not allowed to powercreep Zhongli
yet another hybrid crap… either use her as a shielder, so triple atk, or build crit but losing shield, because 400% + a bunch of extra is def not enough for abyss. 2 hits and it’s destroyed, which means healer is needed. (500% + 2500 at lev 10, but most of people, like me, won’t level her to 90 and just leave to 80, because it costs too much)
Or triple atk, which can be enough (but still easily breakable if you lack dodging) and for sure 0 damage.
How to save her? as always with the infamous VV set. So my take is full atk, VV, and relying on swirl for personal damage.
don’t ignore her C2. it should make her shield last quite a bit longer (depending on the on-field DPS you’re using, ofc.
I think you misunderstood it, it’s only about dmg absorption restoration and not shield extension tho so kinda like thoma’s stacking shield, but we can only hope PRAYGE
So we’ve learnt nothing from Xinyan huh
so with a 16s cooldown and 8s uptime of shield, it’s best to use her before the main dps, and incentivized so with TTDS. just TTDS and VV on her and swap to dps to get TTDS and 8s of her shield. otherwise Sac Frags or go for C6.
pretty solid shielding 4* that can outperform even 5* character in niche situations.
scalings are really solid to build as dps however base stats are fairly low due to her rarity as a 4*.
our very first em/crit scaling unit outside of dendro. of course swirl does not scale with crit however her passive 2 enables additional strong em scaling alongside the already strong atk scaling on her skill and burst.
c0 is highly recommended for support.
c6 can be built as either dps or support.
support build: (f2p friendly)
weapon:
atk% weapon for stronger shield
favonius: provides team with energy and increase burst uptime (highly recommend)
sacrificial: if C6 is unavailable use this to make up for the lack of uptime.
artifact set: viridescent for element res. shred as her skill and burst are easy to apply single target and aoe.
mainstats: atk%>er, atk%, atk%
substats: atk%>er>atk
dps crit build: (only recommended if C6)
weapon:
widsith: really good f2p option whereas EVERY stat is beneficial.
5* crit weapons: most of them generally outperform this.
artifact set:
gilded dreams: major stat boost for crit build.
mainstats: atk%, anemo, crit
substats: crit dmg=crit rate>atk%=em>atk
dps build em: (f2p friendly)
weapon:
sacrificial: really solid f2p option as the substat is the focus and the skill refresh passive is always nice.
5* em weapons: these options will definitely strongly outperform sacrificial in terms of dmg and utility.
artifacts:
viridescent: this set is a no brainer as swirl’s dmg gets increased by 60% and it scales off em, as well as res. shredding benefitting elemental absorption dmg as well as the team’s overall dmg.
mainstats: er>em, em, em (use er sands piece unless energy requirements are met)
substats: em>er>atk%=crit dmg=crit rate
energy requirements: (mostly recommended for support/em dps build)
if solo anemo: 180-220
if multiple anemo: 160-180
in conclusion she’s a really solid and flexible unit. it’s so great having a unit that harmonizes em and crit together. not to give false expectations but she will obviously get outperformed by 5* units but when competing with 4* she’s definitely up there.
for beginners she’s a really good choice as she’s really flexible and will function very nicely in general world exploration even as a dps. however don’t expect this unit to carry you in floor 12 abyss as a dps, because realistically speaking it’s doubtful due to lack of stats as she is a 4*.
“our very first em/crit scaling unit outside of dendro.” …Cyno?
Cyno still uses dendro reactions
hold on now. an atk% shielder catalyst….
so Lanyan may actually be the first viable user of Memory of Dust! finally, that weapon will have a purpose! the memory of dust will give a lot of base atk, atk%, shield strength, and increased atk. plus the atk% bonus will remain for the duration of her shield.
literally. memory of dust is a perfect slot in. 8s of its atk buff for off field and she has an 8s shield, plus she gets shiled strength which she lacks at C0 and atk scaling shield.
I see you Hoyo! I see what you’re doing?
they just didn’t want her to use TTDS
