A talented artist has shared an interesting concept that combines Genshin Impact's Yelan with Aventurine from Honkai: Star Rail. These two HoYoverse titles have similar anime-like art styles thanks to their cel-shaded graphics that often inspire players to create their own concepts that combine the two games' characters.

Both of these characters are part of the playable roster for their respective games. While Yelan was introduced almost two years ago during Genshin Impact Version 2.7, Aventurine is an upcoming character, confirmed to arrive in the second part of the ongoing Honkai update.

Recent Genshin Impact leaks reveal more details about a new Weekly Boss Domain in Version 4.6 that will feature Arlecchino, also known as The Knave.

A Reddit user named junebuart has shared an impressive concept named "Gambling partners" that shows Yelan and Aventurine sitting next to each other. Both characters are known for their affiliation with gambling, which inspired junebuart to combine them into one single fan-art. Yelan can be seen holding her iconic dice, which are also present in many of her in-game animations. Aventurine is portrayed holding his iconic ace of spades. Despite being added in Genshin Impact update 2.7, Yelan remains a mysterious character who works for the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Liyue. Yelan's unconventional methods as an agent make her one of Ningguang's most valuable associates, which is why the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing tolerates her frequent absence.

The post got a lot of attention in the community as it gathered over 1.7k upvotes on Genshin Impact's main subreddit. Many comments have pointed out that Yelan and Aventurine would probably be best friends if they were part of the same gaming universe. When it comes to Yelan's combat power on the field, she is one of the best Hydro characters in Genshin Impact thanks to a specific kit that can deal damage even when she's not on the field. This makes her the perfect choice for team compositions that need a powerful off-field DPS or support.

Honkai: Star Rail: Aventurine Release Date and Kit Explained

Unlike Yelan, who is an offensive powerhouse, Aventurine's role in Honkai Star Rail is much more defensive. His Skill will apply a stackable shield to all team members that scales with his DEF stats. His Ultimate deals damage and lowers an enemy's potential to deal CRIT damage. Both of these abilities will have a coin mechanic tied to them which will impact their effects.

When it comes to his release date, Aventurine has already been confirmed for the second part of Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1, which is scheduled to arrive on April 17. This means that players have less than 10 days to pull for the currently available limited character, the five-star DPS Acheron.
