Lan Yan joins the Genshin Impact roster as a 4-star Anemo character during the highly anticipated Lantern Rite event. With a straightforward kit, she is relatively easy to learn and integrate into various teams. However, despite the simplicity of her abilities, certain nuances can easily be overlooked, particularly regarding her optimal team roles and synergies. While Lan Yan is primarily designed to function as a support or sub-DPS, her flexibility allows her to serve as a main DPS in specific setups, which can confuse players unfamiliar with her potential.
