Genshin Impact 1.5: Will Yanfei be a DPS or a Support?

Yan Fei

After the recent Genshin Impact 1.4 update, new leaks began to surface about the upcoming version 1.5, revealing that two new characters will be coming to the game, Eula and Yanfei.

And, as it happens every time a new character is presented, be it officially or through leaks, players started to ask themselves a few questions:

In which roles can the character in question perform? Will Yanfei be a DPS or a Support when she is released in the Genshin Impact 1.5 update?

Who Is Yanfei?

According to Honey Impact, Yan Fei is a descendent of an illuminated beast and a well know legal advisor who works in Lyrui Harbor. You can see her leaked Splash art below:

What will Yanfei’s role be?

According to Honey Impact, Yanfei will be a Pyro catalyst user, with a relatively high base attack and a good scaling. She will also have a Pyro damage bonus sub stat, that will increase as she levels up.

Her talents show an inclination in dealing and improving her elemental damage, with her Elemental Skill ”Signed Edict” having a regularly shot cool-down of 9 seconds, and her Elemental Burst ”Done Deal”, also being focused on dealing elemental damage and in improving her charged attacks.

You can check out her normal and charged attacks animation below:

With all that said, we believe that her default role in a composition will be that of a DPS focused on dealing frequent elemental damage, and with a set focused on improving her charged attack availability and overall damage (Crit chance).

Is important to point out that, according to the leaks, her constellations will also improve her overall damage, and, in the case of her fourth constellation ”Supreme Amnesty”, also provide her with a shield.

The Importance of Reactions 

As with all Pyro DPS’s, like Diluc, Klee, and Hu Tao, making use of elemental reactions, in special the Vaporize and Melt ones, both which scale of ATK, and not Elemental Mastery, is important. Since we all know that those two can, in particular, improve your overall damage exponentially.
