Is Yelan Worth Pulling in Genshin Impact? Abilities, Constellations, & More Explained

Genshin Impact has a brand new character on the way. Dropping on May 31st alongside update 2.7, you’ll have to try your hardest and hope the RNG Gods are on your side if you’re looking to get your hands on Yelan, the newest bow wielder in the game.

Since it costs real-world money to pull, is it worth risking your hard-earned cash to get your hands on Yelan, or is she someone that you should skip on? Let’s take a look at what she has to offer, and see if she is worth your time to get!
