Iansan
Who is Iansan?
Iansan is a 4★ Electro Polearm Support from Natlan's Collective of Plenty tribe, rated SS-tier Support by Game8. She is a renowned fitness trainer who provides massive ATK buffs that scale with her own ATK and her Kinetic Energy Scale mechanic — buffs that rival Bennett for movement-intensive carries like Varesa, Xiao, and Mavuika. Her Nightsoul integration makes her a natural fit for Natlan teams. Source: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/345881

F2P Verdict
Available as a 4★ — obtainable on featured/standard banners without heavy pulling.
Favonius Lance is the best free polearm: ER + CRIT-based particle generation reduces ER investment.
The Catch (Inazuma fishing reward) and Prototype Starglitter (craftable) are solid alternatives.
Pure ATK% build — no CRIT stats needed unless using Favonius Lance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Iansan's buff affected by movement?
Yes — her Kinetic Energy Scale restores Nightsoul points based on teammate movement distance, boosting her buff into Ardent Support (enhanced) state. Mobile carries like Varesa and Xiao maximise this. Source: Game8.
What ATK should Iansan target?
2,500+ ATK — her buff scales directly with her ATK stat. Source: Game8.
What Energy Recharge does Iansan need?
180-200% without an Electro teammate, or 140-160% with one. C1 (Energy restore from Nightsoul consumption) reduces requirements. Source: Game8.
Is Iansan good for non-Natlan teams?
Yes — she works in Xiao Anemo teams and any team with movement-intensive carries, not just Natlan characters. Source: Game8.
