screenrant.com:

Using the best build for Lan Yan in can significantly enhance the character’s value as a shielder in team comps and, with it, how well the rest of the party can perform while under her protection. Lan Yan is a 4-star Anemo character who uses a Catalyst in battle. The character is one of the four new playable units added with Version 5.3, though instead of being related to Natlan like the Pyro Traveler, Citlali, or Mavuika in , Lan Yan hails from the Nation of Liyue.

Lan Yan’s main specialty is creating a shield for her team comp via her Elemental Skill. Its standard form absorbs Anemo DMG with more efficiency, but Lan Yan’s shield can undergo Elemental Absorption if her Skill interacts with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro. This, in turn, transforms the shield and allows it to have increased DMG absorption from the corresponding element. If this happens, she will also deal more DMG to opponents. Lan Yan’s Burst can help gather enemies, which makes her not only a shielder but a support and a secondary source of damage in .

Before taking advantage of her abilities, you’ll need to work on her build, starting with finding her a suitable weapon. The best weapon for Lan Yan is Starcaller’s Watch. The 5-star catalyst offers a fairly high base ATK (542 at level 90) and a great Elemental Mastery sub-stat (265 at level 90). Its ability grants an extra 100 Elemental Mastery and offers the Mirror of Night effect within 15 seconds after the user creates a shield. This increases the active party member’s DMG by 28%, an effect that can be obtained once every 14 seconds.

For reference, this is the BiS (best-in-slot) weapon for Citlali’s build in .
