Ellin

Power Progression

Background / History

Reincarnation

The original Ellin was a Mondstadt girl devoted to becoming a Knight of Favonius. During the month before her death, she trained for more than eleven hours every day without sufficient recovery. She collapsed after returning home from training and bathing 2.

At the same moment, Ailin was playing Genshin Impact as Ganyu and used a Portable Waypoint to teleport to Ellin. He concluded that this coincidence had brought his soul into her body. After receiving her memories, he accepted Hermann and his wife as his parents, then adopted Ellin’s name and promised to care for them 1 2.

Although she resolves to live well in her new identity, Ellin also hopes to regain a male body. Venti later confirms that the original Ellin’s soul had departed before the otherworldly soul arrived. He knows no way to change her sex and suggests consulting Morax about changing forms 2 45.

Feng’er eventually reveals that she brought Ellin to Teyvat without first asking her. As the world’s will, she also acted as Ellin’s system and chose to become her familiar. Ellin accepts the revelation without resentment, explaining that her former life had left her without family, friends, or a clear future and that she is happy to have been brought to Teyvat 445.

First Adventures and Wolvendom

Ellin joins the Adventurers’ Guild to gain combat experience, prepare for the knight selection exam, and help support her family. As a newcomer, she would normally be restricted to E-rank work, but teaming up with Adventure Rank 23 Fischl allows her to accept a C-rank commission 4.

Their first outing escalates from fighting Pyro Slimes into an ambush by two Blazing Whopperflowers. Ellin summons Feng’er and eventually clears a path through the resulting forest fire with a Frost Arrow. After their return, Barbara treats their burns, and Jean and Cyrus compensate the families for the Knights’ oversight and the Guild’s misinformation 6 9 11.

When Fischl is later gravely wounded in Wolvendom, Ellin sends Oz and Feng’er to obtain emergency treatment and stays behind to fight. She kills seven Hilichurl Berserkers and two Abyss Mages, but suffers severe internal injuries and collapses. The Wolf King keeps nearby monsters away until Jean arrives and carries her home. Ellin awakens after several days, with Fischl waiting beside her 18 20 22.

Life with Her Friends

During her recovery, Ellin helps Fischl overcome her guilt rather than allowing the rescue to burden their friendship. Their bond culminates in an exchange of gifts at Cape Oath, where Fischl kisses her cheek and vows to remain her best friend for life 24.

Ellin subsequently settles into mornings of training with Noelle and afternoons of simple commissions with Fischl. She also helps Sucrose obtain a Cryo Regisvine for research. Sucrose uses its materials to make clothing for Ellin, while Ellin later supplies dragon materials and offers her Serenitea Pot as a place to cultivate an isolated paradise 29 31 32 34 38 39.

Her expanding circle includes Klee, who identifies her as a godmother chosen by Alice before Klee’s birth. Klee produces an old photograph showing Alice beside a more mature-looking Ellin, prompting the system to deduce that Ellin will eventually travel into the past. Ellin reassures Klee that she loves her and takes her along to clear monsters from Mondstadt’s wilderness 95 98.

Stormterror and the Traveler

Dvalin’s first attack interrupts Ellin’s peaceful routine and carries her Slime Bra onto a spike on his wing. Furious, she climbs the Statue of The Seven and drives him away with an arrow. Mondstadt celebrates her as its savior, unaware that recovering the garment—not seeking heroism—was her immediate motive. Venti secretly assists her during the confrontation 35 37.

Her fame brings seven days of persistent proposals and matchmaking visits. Ellin eventually drives the visitors away by force, ending the disruption to her family’s home 37 38.

After meeting Lumine and Paimon, Ellin presents her knowledge of the game’s story as prophecy. She promises to arrange a meeting with Aether if Lumine cooperates with her after Mondstadt’s immediate problems are resolved. When Dvalin attacks again, Ellin takes over from an exhausted Jean and Diluc and destroys the two remaining tornadoes, spending all her stamina in the process 47 49 50.

Ellin subsequently accompanies Kaeya and Lisa on temple missions. She eagerly takes the lead in combat to compensate for her limited experience. During the Temple of the Lion of the South Wind mission, she responds to Lisa’s teasing by carrying her over a dangerous crossing and then lifting her into a princess carry 54 55 56.

She fights alongside Jean, Diluc, Venti, and the others during the effort to resolve the Dragon Disaster. Her contributions include helping save Dvalin and the Four Winds. After the crisis, Jean intends to bestow knightly titles on both Ellin and Lumine; Ellin’s achievements make her acceptance into the Knights effectively settled before the formalities, and she becomes known as the Sun Knight 60 73 138 409.

When Venti allows his Gnosis to be taken, Ellin restrains herself out of respect for his decision despite her anger at the injuries inflicted on him and Lumine. She later makes clear that respecting his choice does not mean forgiving the attacker, declaring her intention to retaliate at their next encounter 72.

Noelle’s Rescue and the Abyss

Ellin goes to rescue Noelle after her reckless confrontation with the Abyss. She uses Healing Wind to stabilize her, comforts her, and takes over the fighting against the Abyss enemies 79.

Facing an Abyss Lector, Ellin employs her Fully Armed Form and combines close-range attacks with rapid weapon changes. Although her raw power remains somewhat below the Lector’s, she can expel its abyssal corruption and continue channeling elemental energy. The battle leaves her severely injured, and forcing herself to use Storm Sword Dance worsens her condition 80 81 84.

Aether intervenes to protect his subordinate and tells Ellin that she cannot defeat him, especially in her exhausted state. Ellin nevertheless insists on killing the Lector. Her Thunderstrike later becomes identified as the technique she used to slay it before Aether’s eyes 84 335.

Feng’er guides Venti, Jean, Diluc, Lumine, and Paimon to the ruins through her soul connection with Ellin. Finding Ellin near death, Venti expends the power of Mondstadt’s prayers to summon a healing wind, while Jean closes her wounds with Dandelion Field. The group returns to Mondstadt aboard Dvalin for further treatment 86.

After awakening, Ellin helps Noelle confront her guilt. She emphasizes that she never blamed her and that the purpose of risking her life was to let Noelle continue living happily, not to burden her with lifelong remorse 87 88.

Divine Core, Idol Career, and Departure from Mondstadt

After becoming close friends with Klee and Venti, Ellin absorbs seven newly available Artifacts. Sucrose worries when she notices Ellin no longer wearing her Anemo Vision, but Ellin explains that its power has become part of her rather than representing any loss of their friendship 120.

Jean and Barbara ask Ellin to perform at a concert intended to lift Mondstadt’s spirits after the Dragon Disaster. Ellin initially refuses, citing her lack of confidence in singing, dancing, and music theory. She later becomes recognized as Mondstadt’s leading idol, with Diona among her admirers 120 121 203.

Her Wind God’s Divine Core causes her body to begin evolving toward a demon god form. To adapt to her new strength and improve control, she spars with Andrius for fifteen days. The twenty-three bouts earn his recognition but exhaust his remnant-soul manifestation so thoroughly that he refuses further trials for two years. During this period, she befriends Razor and teaches him Electro combat techniques 131 133 351.

Jean and Diluc arrange a farewell banquet at Dawn Winery before Ellin leaves Mondstadt. She reassures her friends that Realm Dispatches will allow them to visit through the Serenitea Pot, asks Sucrose and Noelle to care for their Wonderland, comforts Klee, and gives Barbara a dispatch for singing practice. Jean salutes her and wishes the Sun Knight well on her travels 138.

Liyue and the Battle with Osial

In Liyue, Ellin spars with Xiao and helps resolve his situation. She subsequently returns to Mondstadt to reunite with her family and friends, where Sucrose tells her that Jean has commercialized the Slime Bra prototypes under the Sun Knight Brand. Ellin is appointed chairwoman and learns that a reported 280 million Mora share awaits her in the Serenitea Pot villa 144 156.

Ellin entrusts Zhongli with knowledge of the game’s plot, intending to disclose it only to him and Venti. Their conversations also address her fixation on recovering a male body. Zhongli explains that her former identity is shaped by the memories of her previous life and encourages her to recognize how a much longer existence as Ellin may change her understanding of herself. She realizes that clinging to the past can make her overlook the present 163 164.

Zhongli teaches her Geo techniques and regards her as a potential guardian of Liyue after his retirement. Among Liyue’s people, she becomes the Clear-Bell Flower-Butterfly Fairy, admired for protecting mortals while freely mingling with them. She also deliberately uses her innocent public persona to turn Ying’er’s suggestive teasing against her at Wanmin Restaurant 167 174 175.

While guarding the Golden House, Ellin fights Childe. She uses their close-range exchanges to gain combat experience, relying on her superior strength as a safeguard against his greater experience 181 182 185.

During the confrontation with Osial, six adepti lend Ellin their power. Their energy temporarily transforms her body into a demon god form, allowing her to become a true Wind Archon for the duration of the infusion. Feng’er gains corresponding Archon-level strength and supports her through exceptional elemental channeling and a white armored form. Ellin freezes the sea and sweeps away an immense rain of arrows, but these large-scale attacks nearly exhaust the borrowed energy 190 194 196 197 198.

Her efforts against Osial become part of her reputation as Liyue’s savior. After the Stone Gate incident, stories of her mortal origins make her seem more approachable and inspire some aspiring cultivators to worship her as their founding master 245 409.

Spirits, Hu Tao, and Shenhe

Ellin teaches Chongyun to consider the intentions and karmic circumstances of spirits rather than treating every haunting as an evil to be forcibly removed. She can see lingering souls, heal with Hydro, and grant selected mortals the ability to see spirits. In Liu Qingyi’s case, she helps mother and daughter reconcile and promises to guide them into reincarnation together if she attains godhood 216 218.

She spends a month traveling around Liyue with Hu Tao and learns that the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor secretly helps souls resolve lingering attachments, sometimes receiving hidden treasure in gratitude. Its care for neglected graves also deepens her understanding of its respect for the dead 245.

During a funeral-related incident, Ellin helps the distressed Zhou Lian see his mother’s spirit and receive her admonition. She responds to his emotional breakdown with compassion rather than anger, helping him confront his desire to die and the meaning of continuing his life 246 248.

Cloud Retainer asks Ellin to guide Shenhe through the mortal world because Ellin’s combination of humanity and adeptal identity makes her approachable to Shenhe. Ellin teaches her social customs, brings her to Liu Qingyi’s academy with supplies, and travels with her. Shenhe comes to regard Ellin as a teacher, protector, and source of security 221 270 272 275.

After Ellin leaves, Shenhe travels overnight to find her in Mondstadt. Ellin welcomes her into her home, feeds her, lends her a matching pink bear nightdress, and helps her sleep peacefully 275.

Inazuma and the Raiden Shogun

Ellin takes Fischl, Noelle, Sucrose, and Klee to Watatsumi Island for a swimsuit vacation after other destinations become unsuitable. She builds them a house and removes pirates, bandits, and monsters to protect their stay. The island’s residents begin telling stories of a celestial maiden protecting them, without initially knowing her identity or her immediate motive 263.

She later kills the sea beast Shanqi, gives its meat to Watatsumi’s people, and promises its skeleton to Sucrose. When Kokomi describes mysterious suppliers offering assistance to the Resistance Army, Ellin identifies the Fatui’s intention to prolong the civil war and create an opportunity to seize the Shogun’s Gnosis. Rather than simply refusing the aid, she urges Kokomi not to turn down the Fatui’s money 311.

To influence Ei before they have an established relationship, Ellin writes The Domineering Electro Archon Falls for Me! Its intended purpose is to guide Ei out of her inner turmoil and encourage her to look toward her people again 303 369.

Representing the people’s wishes, Ellin battles the Puppet Shogun with sword techniques, hand-to-hand attacks, multiple elements, and large-scale constructs. The Shogun comes to acknowledge her strength and offers her equal standing in governing Inazuma, but Ellin seeks a change in Ei’s understanding of eternity rather than personal authority. She defeats the Shogun and then fights Ei so that both will recognize the strength of the people’s wishes 335 336 337 340 342 343.

Her actions ultimately help end Inazuma’s disaster and war, and she becomes revered as the Sunlit Heaven-Clearing True God. As her friendship with Ei deepens, direct companionship replaces the novel as her principal means of offering guidance. She also helps protect samurai from Rifthounds while accompanying Ei through events connected with Makoto’s Consciousness Space 369 376 409.

Godhood, Ayaka, and Renewed Resolve

Witnessing calamity and human suffering leads Ellin to willingly don a mask and seal away her emotions in pursuit of protecting others. Through this compassion and resolve, she permanently ascends to godhood 402 414.

After sleeping for more than ninety days, she joins Ayaka for an outing concerning the mysterious “Tsubaki” mentioned in Ayaka’s mother’s notes. Although she no longer needs food as an Archon, she still misses eating. She sincerely assures Ayaka that she likes her and regards her as a friend, then agrees to attend a festival with her 410 411.

Ayaka admires Ellin’s freedom but is distressed by the change following her ascension. Her dance and heartfelt wishes help reawaken Ellin’s original aspirations. Their close friendship grants Ellin another Cryo Vision, completing a Cryo divine core assembled from five Visions 414 420.

Through the power of wishes, Ellin hears gratitude and birthday wishes from people across Teyvat and learns that her friends are waiting in the Serenitea Pot to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. She returns to them with her familiar warmth, and Fischl, Sucrose, and Noelle embrace her in tears of relief 416.

Feng’er warns that Ellin’s existing strength will not be enough to protect the world or her friends from a coming calamity. Ellin responds by entering the Ley Lines’ seven-element torrent and directly absorbing its energy to become stronger 420 421.

Time Travel and the World’s Will

Ellin eventually travels into the past, fulfilling the earlier evidence provided by Klee’s photograph. Alice determines that the power holding her there will fade after at least eight days, corresponding to roughly eight seconds in Ellin’s present. Ellin treats the interval as a vacation and accompanies Alice from Yaoguang Shoal to Mondstadt 95 433.

At Alice’s request, Ellin takes her above Celestia. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles appears and attacks, forcing them to flee. Alice’s impulsiveness also rekindles Ellin’s own mischievous side, despite the greater maturity she has gained through her experiences 433.

While in the past, Ellin meets a younger Ningguang from a fishing family who hopes to escape poverty through business. She introduces herself as an adeptus and invites Ningguang to call her “big sister Fairy.” This encounter provides context for Ningguang’s later affection and memories associated with Ellin’s grilled fish 359 439.

Feng’er ultimately explains that the system and familiar are two roles played by the world’s will. It longed to experience humanity directly and answered Ellin’s call during the forest fire despite Ellin not actually possessing the ability to summon a familiar at the time. Ellin’s growth over two and a half years also allows Feng’er’s power to return 445.

Heavenly Principles and Return to the Original World

Ellin confronts the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles in the final battle, recognizing the decomposition and reconstruction underlying the Red Cubes and countering them with her own Reconstruction 455.

By the subsequent events in her original world, Ellin has become Teyvat’s Heavenly Principles. She returns to the apartment inherited from Ailin’s parents and uses her former appearance when handling ordinary errands. She prefers living as Ellin, spends most of her time in Teyvat, and regards visits to the other world as opportunities for an ordinary life and vacations rather than occasions to exert political power 459.

Her friends persuade her to take them along after noticing her repeated absences, unfamiliar clothing, and foreign food. Ellin, Keqing, Ayaka, Shenhe, Fischl, Noelle, and Sucrose later stage a spectacular battle against Ruin machines for Genshin Impact players. After the demonstration, they depart through a spatial rift and return to Teyvat 459 463.

Fontaine

Ellin gives Furina a day free from performing the role of Hydro Archon, quietly keeping her company while already knowing her true identity and history. Furina comes to trust her because she neither exposes the secret nor dismisses the suffering it has caused 480.

When Furina fears that her five hundred years of endurance may have been meaningless, Ellin reassures her, thanks her for persevering, and promises to protect Fontaine. Furina leaves with renewed courage even as a trial against her begins taking shape 480.

Ellin later addresses Focalors and Neuvillette, correctly identifying the plan to destroy the Divine Throne through Focalors’s death and return the Ancient Dragon Authority to Neuvillette. She acknowledges that the plan could work but characterizes it as overly rigid before beginning to explain another approach 485.

Appearance

• Before receiving Cryo: The original body had brown hair and green eyes 2.
• After the Cryo baptism: White hair, blue eyes that shimmer like starlight, and fair, delicate skin 2.
• Build: Tall and slender despite tremendous physical strength; the Attack Sands gives her faint abdominal definition rather than a bulky physique 13 19.
• Artifact-related changes: Earlier power increases lengthen her hair and enlarge her breasts, which the narration calls “Slimes.” By her third round of Artifact absorption, her hair reaches her waist 13 25 42.
• Hair texture: Exceptionally smooth and resistant to tangling; even knots can loosen with a gentle shake 42.
• Signature clothing: Sucrose’s blue-and-white Cryo Regisvine outfit, called the White-Mist Garment and Star-Blue Skirt 34 49.
• Later Artifact transformation: After absorbing seven Artifacts, her skin becomes finer and fairer with a rosy glow, while her movements acquire an increasingly otherworldly grace 120.
• Divine bearing: During the Osial battle, she hovers barefoot with an indifferent expression; Klee’s old photograph likewise depicts a barefoot, mature-looking Ellin floating beside Alice 95 194.
• Feng’er armor: Wears white battle armor formed by her familiar during the temporary Archon breakthrough 196 197.
• Domestic clothing: Owns pink bear nightdresses, one of which she lends to Shenhe 275.
• Appearance alteration: As Heavenly Principles, she can change her appearance at will, including reproducing Ailin’s former face for practical use in her original world 459.

Personality

Ellin is playful, enthusiastic, and willing to match her friends’ eccentricities. She responds to Fischl’s theatrical introduction with an even more elaborate immortal persona and openly affirms that Fischl is wonderful as she is. Noelle notices that she has become more carefree and outgoing since obtaining her Vision 4 10 15.

Her affection is expressed through practical care. She earns commission money for household expenses, buys gifts and groceries, helps wash dishes, and thanks Hermann for supporting her training. Her mother contrasts this attentiveness with the original Ellin’s single-minded pursuit of knighthood 23.

Protectiveness can overwhelm her judgment. Fischl’s near-fatal injuries provoke a berserk fury in which Ellin ignores pain, internal bleeding, and exhaustion to keep attacking. Outside such crises, she increasingly values ordinary companionship over difficult commissions or public recognition 19 20 32 41.

Ellin initially remains conflicted about her changed body, but gradually enjoys her appearance and the closeness her new life allows. She seeks a male form and tells Venti that she wants to marry the girl she loves. She also refuses to live for public approval, forcefully rejecting the suitors who disrupt her family’s life 15 38 42 45.

Zhongli’s guidance helps her recognize that her attachment to masculinity is closely tied to her previous memories and identity. By the time she becomes Heavenly Principles, she regards gender as having no meaning for a deity and prefers being Ellin because that is the identity shared with the people she loves 163 164 459.

She respects her friends’ choices without surrendering her own judgment. Her response to Venti’s loss of his Gnosis distinguishes between honoring his decision and accepting the abuse inflicted on him. Similarly, she refuses to let heroic or adeptal titles dictate her conduct, describing herself as more human than detached immortal 72 216.

Her approach to friendship is candid and informal. Because she already knew many of Teyvat’s inhabitants through the game, she approaches them with affection and prefers to show her genuine personality rather than maintain an exalted image. She dislikes bitter flavors and food or drinks so hot that she must wait before consuming them 214.

In combat, Ellin is opportunistic and unconventional rather than concerned with elegance. She seeks dangerous fights to compensate for her lack of experience and improve under pressure, while freely using weapons in unintended ways if they can inflict damage 54 60 133.

Compassion becomes increasingly central to her divine identity. She helps guilty friends recover emotionally, guides grieving mortals toward reconciliation, and ultimately attains godhood through her desire to save others from suffering. This responsibility temporarily leaves her withdrawn and emotionally sealed, but Ayaka’s wishes and her friends’ support help restore her familiar warmth 88 218 248 402 414 416.

Despite becoming more mature and levelheaded, she retains her impulsive curiosity and capacity for mischief. Alice’s suggestion of visiting Celestia excites her, while Focalors and Neuvillette later recognize the unpredictable thinking for which her mortal-to-god journey has made her famous 433 485.

Abilities & Skills

Supreme Insight

An exclusive system talent that allows Ellin to learn any taught move after one demonstration 3.

• Adapts Noelle’s elemental combat instruction into Cryo shielding and weapon enlargement 14 15.
• Requires instruction or demonstration; possessing a new Vision alone does not provide effective techniques, as her initial Anemo failures show 3 43.
• Learns Zhongli’s Geo shielding and Resonance from a single lesson, although understanding their principles does not grant his level of power or precision 167.
• Imitates Andrius’s movements during their repeated spars and develops techniques of her own 133.

Gift of Passion

Grants another Vision when Ellin becomes close friends with a Vision bearer, matching that person’s element 3.

• Has no stated limit on the number of Visions obtainable 3.
• Grants Electro through her bond with Fischl; she later possesses Anemo as her third element 24 42.
• Friendships also unlock weapon and Artifact slots. Bonds with the Seven may provide an additional surprise, though the initial talent description does not specify it 3 25 41.
• Ordinary close friendships unlock two slots in each inventory; Venti’s close friendship unlocks five in each 120 278.
• Requires mutual affection: Ellin’s regard for someone is insufficient unless that person also reaches the system’s close-friend threshold 359.
• Close friendships with Venti, Zhongli, and Ei grant divine cores of Anemo, Geo, and Electro 420.
• Multiple Visions of the same element can contribute to a divine core. Her fifth Cryo Vision, obtained through Ayaka, completes her Cryo core 420.

Cryo Archery and Trail of the Qilin

Ellin inherits Ganyu’s skills, including Trail of the Qilin, Celestial Shower, Undivided Heart, and Harmony Between Heaven and Earth 2 3.

• Ice arrows: Creates ammunition directly on Amos’ Bow, skipping the need to retrieve and nock arrows; initially fires three shots within five seconds 5.
• Trail of the Qilin: Leaves an ice lotus behind while she retreats rapidly, allowing her to escape an explosion 6.
• Frostflake Arrow: Concentrates substantial Cryo into a charged shot. Her elemental channeling speed determines how quickly it charges 7 12.
• Demonstrated feat: A Frost Arrow cuts an escape route through the Whispering Woods inferno 9.

Celestial Shower

Creates an Ice Spirit Orb that establishes a roughly 100-meter-diameter Cold Aura Field 19.

• Dense Cryo within the field makes elemental control easier for anyone capable of manipulating Cryo 19.
• Ellin can form spikes anywhere inside its range and rain ice shards onto a target 20 21.
• Initially unusable because she cannot gather enough Cryo quickly enough to form the orb 12.
• Later combines aerial Anemo movement with palm-sized ice shards gathered from the field to bombard enemies below 60.

Cryo Swordsmanship and Constructs

Ellin combines elemental shaping with close combat, switching between swords and greatswords as circumstances demand 19 20.

• Ice shields and walls: Block greataxes, fireballs, and Electro attacks 18 19 21.
• Ice greatsword: Enlarges a weapon into an eight-meter Cryo blade; in battle, she uses The Unforged as its base 15 19.
• Ice Burst: Wind-Pressure Sword: Adds Cryo to a strength-driven thrust, producing a freezing storm filled with sharp ice crystals. The underlying sword technique does not require an Anemo Vision 20.
• Execution Ice Prison: Encloses an enemy in a thick shell whose inward-growing spikes force it to defend continuously. It delays the Pyro Abyss Mage rather than killing it outright 21.
• Cryo compression: Concentrates more elemental power onto a blade without enlarging it, increasing its destructive effect 43.
• Inch Force: Sky-Piercer: An improvised name for a palm strike packed with dense Cryo, used against an Abyss Lector’s exposed back. It is not evidence of formal inch-force training 81.
• A Glint of Cold Light: With Feng’er’s channeling support, compresses an ocean’s worth of Cryo into a palm-sized ice crystal and releases it against Osial’s attack 194.
• Large-scale freezing: Temporarily enhanced to Archon level, she freezes the sea during the Osial battle 198.

Electro Combat

Ellin uses Electro for ranged attacks and destructive sword strikes, particularly against enemies resistant to Cryo 31.

• Cuts through a Cryo Regisvine with the Electro-infused Skyward Blade without first destroying its Hoarfrost Core 31.
• Combines Electro and Cryo in sparring, making it difficult for Noelle to approach 34.
• Her strongest demonstrated slash at the time of the second Stormterror attack destroys two tornadoes, but can then be used only once before exhausting her stamina 50.
• The tornado-destroying attack requires a highly durable weapon; an ordinary blade would shatter under its immense elemental infusion 50.
• Stellar Restoration: A lightning-movement technique she demonstrates during her Wolvendom training and offers to teach Razor 133.
• Dragon Claw: Concentrates Electro in her hands; later instruction emphasizes compressing it into sharp claws for greater lethality 133 354.
• Thunderstrike: Transforms into lightning that can split into branching bolts, allowing her to emerge from another branch for a sword attack. Used to slay the Abyss Lector and later against the Shogun 335.
• Thunder Dragon Breath: Drives Electro into a target at the moment of a punch’s impact, destroying it internally. A demonstration blasts apart a large tree 354.
• High-speed sword barrages: Uses lightning movement and repeated slashes during the staged battle in her original world 463.

Anemo and Windriding

After initially producing only scattered gusts and an ineffective updraft, Ellin learns Anemo control from Venti 43 49.

• Flies without a Wind Glider 48.
• Uses Windriding for rapid aerial movement and gathers a breeze around herself to hover 49.
• Wind God Leg: Concentrates Anemo in her legs for high-speed kicks 60.
• Pulls her own body aside with Anemo to evade attacks and suspends multiple weapons around herself 60 80.
• Sky Slash: During her temporary Wind Archon breakthrough, gathers Anemo through her divine core with Feng’er’s assistance and clears away hundreds of millions of falling arrows with a sword strike 197 198.
• Windwalking Sword: A refined sword technique displayed against the Puppet Shogun 336.
• Bane of All Evil: Demonstrates Xiao’s ultimate with a Yaksha Mask and the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear; repeated Anemo plunges spread Electro into a thunderstorm 463.

Healing and Spiritual Perception

Ellin learns Healing Wind from Venti and initially uses it to prevent Noelle’s injuries from worsening 79.

• Can treat herself or others and stabilize injuries, but her early healing ability is limited 79 80.
• Healing Wind does not provide a practical solution to her stamina shortage 80.
• Later uses Hydro healing to repair injuries inflicted while disciplining an abusive client 216.
• Sees yin souls and lingering spirits, interprets their attachments and karmic ties, and distinguishes protective spirits from hostile ones 216 218.
• Grants Liu Qingyi and Zhou Lian the ability to see spirits by empowering their sight 218 248.
• Helps Liu Qingyi’s unborn daughter’s incomplete spirit become perceptible in human form, while explaining that repentance, motherly love, and continued cultivation are necessary for its awareness to develop 218.
• Promises to guide Liu Qingyi and her daughter into reincarnation together upon attaining godhood; the promise is not itself confirmation that this reincarnation has occurred 218.

Geo and Multi-Element Techniques

Zhongli teaches Ellin Geo shielding and Resonance, which she understands immediately but initially cannot execute at his scale 167.

• Impenetrable Fortress: Forms a thick Geo barrier around herself. A hastily created version shatters under the Puppet Shogun’s giant Electro blade 336.
• Giant Geo sword: Creates a sword hundreds of meters long while gathering Geo and Anemo 337.
• Thunder and Fire Twin Dragon Break: Throws a Geo spear surrounded by separately spiraling Pyro and Electro, preventing premature Overloaded reactions. Anemo propulsion increases its speed and destructive force 285.
• Planet Befall: Uses a meteor and surging Geo to petrify Ruin machines during the staged battle for players 463.
• Seven-element fusion: Combines all seven elemental powers into pure white energy. The Shogun regards this method as extraordinary even before Ellin’s permanent ascension 363.
• Unequal elemental reserves: By her eighteenth birthday, Anemo, Geo, Electro, and Cryo possess divine cores, while Dendro has the power of one Vision and Hydro and Pyro each have the power of two 420.

Fully Armed Form and Combat Adaptation

Ellin’s Fully Armed Form uses Anemo to suspend The Black Sword, Skyward Blade, The Four Winds’ Tales, The Unforged, and the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear around her 80.

• Switches rapidly between weapons, fists, feet, and elemental attacks to keep opponents from predicting her next action 81 133.
• Uses a catalyst like a brick and a spear like a crowbar when such attacks provide an advantage 60 133.
• Adopts a Wing Chun stance despite not actually knowing Wing Chun 80.
• Exploits differences in weapon reach and forces opponents to shift their defenses before attacking an exposed area 81.
• Expels an Abyss Lector’s corruption with elemental power, preserving her ability to channel energy; elemental reactions can still injure her 81.
• Improves quickly through sustained pressure, as shown by her battles with Hilichurl hordes, Andrius, Childe, and the Shogun 60 133 182 336.

Divine Cores, Godhood, and Origin

A demon god core supplies power, while a demon god form provides the body capable of fully bearing it. Ellin’s growth is unusual because she obtains powerful cores before her human body finishes evolving 131 210 343.

• Elemental energy from her core gradually alters her body, while combat helps her control the core and hastens adaptation 131.
• Borrowed adeptal energy temporarily creates a matching body during the Osial battle, but the effect ends when that energy is depleted 190 198.
• Integrating further cores strengthens her power source faster than her body can accommodate it, prolonging her half-Archon limitations even when she possesses god-level combat strength 343.
• Permanently ascends through compassion and the resolve to save others from suffering 402.
• No longer needs food after becoming an Archon, though she still enjoys and misses it 410.
• Hears gratitude and wishes across Teyvat through the power of wishes 416.
• Absorbs the mixed seven-element torrent of the Ley Lines directly, unlike most Archons whose affinity is limited to one element 421.
• Possesses Decomposition and Reconstruction, using white-light Reconstruction to counter the Sustainer’s destructive Red Cubes 455.
• As Heavenly Principles, embodies origin and can alter her appearance at will 459.
• Travels between Teyvat and her former world and leaves the players’ gathering with her companions through a spatial rift 459 463.

Feng’er

Feng’er is a Cryo elemental familiar who shares Ellin’s life, soul, and mental connection 25 30.

• Fights alongside Ellin and her allies, helps contain fires, and assists in evacuating Fischl 7 18.
• Gains vitality and elemental capacity as Ellin becomes stronger; after further Artifact absorption, her wingspan reaches two meters 30.
• Knows about Ellin’s reincarnation, previous male identity, and system 25.
• Uses Cryo domestically to chill food and drinks and cool the family home 15.
• Can sense Ellin’s location and see through her eyes even across great distances, allowing her to guide rescuers to the Abyss ruins 86.
• Reaches corresponding Archon-level strength during Ellin’s temporary breakthrough 190.
• Specializes in elemental channeling, complementing Ellin’s emphasis on combat techniques. Together they can compress and control enormous elemental quantities more effectively than either alone 193 194.
• Transforms into white battle armor that assists Ellin’s channeling 196 197.
• Ultimately reveals herself as the world’s will and Ellin’s system, rather than an ordinary familiar born solely from Ellin’s power. Her desire to experience human life motivates her choice to accompany Ellin 445.

System Inventory and Artifact Absorption

The system materializes Ailin’s original game inventory, though many weapon and Artifact slots initially remain locked 2 12.

• Weapons can be summoned, switched, and returned to inventory during combat 19 21.
• Artifacts become permanent power and inherited experience when withdrawn; they cannot be restored afterward 13.
• Their listed attributes are set, main stat, and level, without the game’s substats 12.
• Individual Artifact gains diminish relative to her growing strength. By the later adeptus stage, their ordinary elemental experience and fixed physical bonuses offer little practical improvement 120 278.
• Ellin distinguishes between memory legacies, such as experience encoded in elemental-damage goblets, and power legacies, such as ATK, DEF, and HP enhancements 278.
• The system is ultimately revealed to be another role performed by Feng’er as the world’s will 445.

Serenitea Pot

Ellin’s teapot provides access to an adepti-created Sub-Space Creation, which she shares with Sucrose as a site for their paradise project 39.

• The A Thousand Miles Apart function lets registered Access Permit holders enter from anywhere 41.
• Allows Ellin to meet friends and family inside even when traveling far away 41.
• Realm Dispatches maintain contact with her friends after her departure from Mondstadt; Barbara also receives one for singing practice 138.
