Best builds for Yangyang in Wuthering Waves
Yangyang is a 4-star Aero Resonator who uses a sword as his main weapon. Below are recommended gears and units that will help players unlock the hero’s full potential and use him to his maximum potential.
Best weapon: Emerald of Genesis
The best choice for Yangyang is the 5-star Genesis Emerald Sword, which is considered the best weapon in the game. This sword is ideal for Yangyang, whether you prefer to play as support or DPS. The weapon significantly improves energy regeneration, increases attack and increases the chance of critical strikes. These bonuses make the character more effective in battle, allowing her to fully realize her unique abilities.
Best basic echo: transience Heron
Heron of Impermanence is a great Echo choice for Yangyang because it improves her support skills. This World Boss Echo not only increases Yangyang’s damage, but also helps restore resonance energy.
Best Echo Sonata Effect: Moonlit Clouds
Equipping the Heron of Impermanence also grants you the Sonata effect: Moon Clouds. This gives a massive 22.5% attack boost to a new character after using the Outro Skill and increases their own energy regeneration by 10%.
The best units from Yangyang
- Jiyan;
- Verina;
- Yangyang.
Yangyang is a great support character, especially if you have a strong DPS character like Jiyan on your team. The main task is to improve energy regeneration and damage. To create a balanced team it is useful to add a support character and a healer such as Verina or Baizhi. If you want to focus on increasing Yangyang’s damage, make sure to include Mortefi or Sanhua in your team. Their skills will increase Yangyang’s base and deal additional damage, compensating for her weaknesses.
- Rover (Spectro) (Rover Spectro);
- Yangyang;
- Baizhi.
The composition of this team is based on using Yangyang to restore energy using her outro ability, which allows you to quickly charge Rover’s Resonance Release (Spectro). In the early stages of the game, Baizhi will act as a healer and can also increase the damage of all heroes.
Principle of battle:
- Yangyang starts the battle by gathering his teammates’ energy until the other characters’ Resonator icons activate. Her ultimate ability allows her to gather small enemies into one group and then use her Resonance ability to deal damage before switching characters.
- When Rover (Spectro) is fully charged, you can switch to it to use your opening ability and deal spectral damage. Switching from Yangyang to Rover will restore the resonant energy.
- Once Rover has the Resonance Release skill available, you can use it to deal spectral damage in an area. Then perform some basic attacks to charge his power meter, use the resonance skill and perform some basic attacks again.
- Once Yangyang’s starting ability is fully charged, switch back to her. If you want to restore health, switch to Baizhi and use healing skills.
- Repeat the sequence of actions until all enemies are defeated.

Yangyang’s strengths and weaknesses
Advantages:
- Yangyang is the only character in the game who can restore energy with his finishing skill. This makes her an ideal combination for a core fighter who relies on her ultimate.
- Primarily used in a sub-DPS role, as she requires little time on the battlefield but still does significant damage.
- The hero’s ultimate ability is grouping enemies in one spot, which is useful before returning to the main damage dealer. Moreover, you can get it for free at the beginning of the game.
- At S0, Yangyang has no abilities that increase the overall damage of party members or the damage of a specific element unless you equip her with a special Echo set. However, on S6, her air attack after receiving 3 melodies increases the attack damage of all team members, which is her main benefit.
How to play Yangyang in Wuthering Waves?
Yangyang is an excellent character who can be useful both as a support hero and as a hybrid DPS for your other soundboard characters. The main benefit is strengthening his teammates. As the first playable character available, she will immediately join your team and you will find yourself in control of her a lot in the beginning. However, over time, her base damage will decrease significantly, especially in battles with high-level opponents. Therefore, if you like Yangyang and want to increase her effectiveness, you should increase her combat stats.
To increase her potential, it is worth putting together a team that will complement her skills. For example, characters like Sanhua or Mortefi can help improve her playstyle with their skills. If you prefer to use Yangyang in a support role, her ability to transfer resonant energy to other party members will be an important element in the final stages of the game.
The most important aspect of using Yangyang is improving her skills, especially her resonance circuit. Focus on increasing your damage using powerful basic skills like Azure Song, Resonance Release, and Wind Spiral.
- Charge the strong Yangyang circuit;
- Use charged Yangyang attacks;
- Use Yangyang’s ultimate to bring enemies together;
- Activate the Yangyang outro skill;
- Perform a heavy attack during the Resonance skill;
- Change characters after an air raid.
At first, we do not recommend keeping Yangyang on the battlefield for a long time. However, by increasing damage and acquiring the ability to control groups of enemies using active skills, the hero can significantly improve the skills of other team members.
