Pint-sized Iansan stands out as one of the premier 4-star support characters in Genshin Impact. As a Natlan character, she possesses unique builds that enhance both Natlan and non-Natlan teams. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the best artifacts and weapons for Iansan.
Top Weapons for Iansan in Genshin Impact
As a Polearm wielder, Iansan can utilize two main weapon options: Favonius Lance and Tamayuratei no Ohanashi. The Favonius Lance is excellent for generating extra Energy, especially if you prioritize building some CRIT Rate. Meanwhile, Tamayuratei no Ohanashi, an event-exclusive weapon from the Enchanted Tales of the Mikawa Festival in Genshin Impact Version 5.4, serves as a great alternative if the Favonius Lance is unavailable.
For players seeking 5-star alternatives, consider Calamity Queller or Skyward Spine. While it’s generally a trade-off to assign a 5-star weapon to a 4-star support character, Iansan benefits significantly from these weapons’ stats. Calamity Queller provides an ATK boost, whereas Skyward Spine offers Energy Recharge. If none of these options are accessible, any Polearm enhancing ATK or Energy Recharge will suffice.
Ideal Artifact Sets for Iansan
The preferred artifact set for Iansan is the 4pc Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, also known as Cinder City. Being a Natlan character, Iansan can effortlessly trigger the set bonus, amplifying the effect of any elements she interacts with. For optimal gameplay, ensure to rotate her skills correctly to maximize elemental reactions. Cinder City is the best choice if your main DPS is Electro, Dendro, Pyro, Cryo, or Hydro.
However, if your primary damage dealer uses Anemo or Geo, the Cinder City set will not be effective. In such scenarios, equip 4pc Noblesse Oblige. This artifact set has been a staple since Genshin Impact’s launch, providing a significant 20% ATK boost to the team each time Iansan unleashes her Elemental Burst. For players building Iansan to support characters like Xiao, Noblesse Oblige is optimal. Remember, you’ll need to focus more on Energy Recharge with this set than with Cinder City.
Essential Artifact Stats for Iansan
Once you’ve selected the artifact set, focus on these main stats:
| Sands | Goblet | Circlet |
| ATK Energy Recharge |
ATK | ATK CRIT Rate (if Favonius) |
To enhance her team-wide ATK buff, aim for Iansan’s ATK stat to be around 2,600 at Ascension 0 (C0) and 3,200 at Ascension 6 (C6). Note that her Ascension 1 passive contributes additional ATK, making these targets more attainable than they may seem.
It’s also crucial to ensure sufficient Energy Recharge for Iansan to perform her Burst effectively each rotation. With the Cinder City artifact set, having about 140-150% Energy Recharge should suffice, easily achievable with the Favonius Lance and artifact rolls. However, if opting for Noblesse Oblige, Iansan’s Energy needs can spike to over 200%. In this case, consider sacrificing some ATK for an Energy Recharge sands.
If you’re using the Favonius Lance, a CRIT Rate circlet is advisable to boost Energy generation chances. While Iansan has three opportunities to achieve a CRIT hit while on the field, you don’t need extreme CRIT Rate. Conversely, if you’re not using Favonius Lance, prioritize an ATK circlet to maximize her buff.
