Elemental Skill
Lingering Lifeline

Fires off a Lifeline that allows her to move rapidly, entangling and marking opponents along its path.

When this rapid movement ends, the Lifeline will explode, dealing Hydro DMG to the marked opponents based on Yelan's Max HP.

Tap

Moves a certain distance forward swiftly.

Hold

Engages in continuous, swift movement, during which Yelan's resistance to interruption is increased.

During this time, Yelan can control this rapid movement and end it by using this Skill again.

Additionally, each opponent marked by the Lifeline when it explodes grants Yelan a 34% chance to reset her Breakthrough state.

Not until she begins to tug on the strings do evildoers, crooks, and scheming villains alike know that there is no escape.
