7 best bows for Yelan in Genshin Impact

Based on Yelan's elemental skill and burst multipliers, it is more beneficial to stack HP% stat on her through artifacts and weapons. Hence, the weapons on the list have been prioritized with that precedent.

All the 5-star weapons that will be mentioned on the list can only be acquired when they are featured in the event wish "Epitome Invocation" weapon banner. Currently, only one of the 5-star weapons on the list has been confirmed to feature on the weapon banner in the upcoming 2.7 update. There is no guarantee when the rest of the 5-stars will return on the weapon banner.

Similarly, 4-star weapons can also be summoned on the event wish "Epitome Invocation" weapon banner and Standard banner as well. Here are the top seven bows for Yelan:

7) Favonius Warbow

This 4-star bow has a base ATK of 454 and 61.3% Energy Recharge as a secondary stat. The passive weapon also provides additional energy particles when an opponent is hit with a Crit Hit.
