Skyward Atlas is one of the best weapons for Lan Yan in Genshin Impact. It has a pretty high Base ATK and provides a lot of ATK% boost from its second stat, which is good for the 4-star character since it will strengthen her shield. In addition, the weapon's passive increases the wielder's Elemental DMG bonus, which can boost Lan Yan's damage as well.

Skyward Atlas is available on the standard banner so the chances of getting it are pretty slim. That said, one can also get it from the limited banner weapon.

Additionally, the weapon's passive increases the Shield Strength, which is perfect for a character like Lan Yan. Not only that but Memory of Dust's passive also provides ATK bonuses, making it perfect for a shield bot build.

The Memory of Dust is a limited 5-star weapon and it doesn't get a rate up that often so getting it can be difficult.
