Unlocking the 1st constellation will give you a total of 2 charges for this skill.
Moreover, unlocking the 4th constellation will increase the party’s Max HP by 10% for each opponent hit by the skill.
The HP buff lasts for 25 seconds and caps at 40% bonus Max HP.
This skill has Press and Hold options:

Exquisite Throw:
Exquisite Throw follows the character closely and executes a coordinated attack, inflicting Hydro Damage based on Yelan’s Max HP.
It adds 3 hits of Hydro damage to opponents, with a 1-second cooldown between procs.
Unlocking the 2nd constellation adds an extra hit, dealing 14% of Yelan’s Max HP, and has a separate internal cooldown from the original 3 hits.
Exquisite Throw activates when:
- When your character performs a normal attack.
- Yelan’s Lifeline (from elemental skill) explodes and hits opponents.

Unlocking the 6th constellation allows Yelan to enter the Mastermind State after using her elemental burst.
During this state, Yelan’s normal attack transforms into an empowered version of Breakthrough Barbs (fully-charged aimed shot) with 156% increased strength compared to the regular version.
This state clears after firing 5 arrows or after 20 seconds.
Additional Effects:
Upon unlocking the passive talent at ascension 4, your active character gains 1% increased Damage, escalating by an additional 3.5% every second throughout the duration of the burst.
The maximum damage boost caps at 50% and will be removed if Depth-Clarion Dice is recast during its duration.
