Yangyang Overview

In Wuthering Waves, Yangyang is a 4-Stars Aero character and uses Sword during the fight.

Yangyang embarked on a distant journey from her homeland to serve as an Outrider in Jinzhou. Rather than pursuing personal acclaim, she opts to offer solace through silent companionship to those around her. Through enduring hardships and personal struggles, she has discovered a profound calling—to be a guiding light and a supportive presence in a world that still yearns for healing.

Yangyang Review

Yangyang is a 4-Star Aero character in Wuthering Waves.

A free character obtained immediately upon entering the game. Due to the low Skill Multiplier, her damage gradually falls behind as the game progresses.

Although her Concerto Energy acquisition ability is decent, due to the low damage output and unimpressive Outro Skill, it’s challenging to find a suitable team for her.

Pros

  • Resonance Liberation can pull enemies together, providing some benefit when paired with teammates that have small attack area.

Cons

  • While the Outro Skill can provide additional Resonance Energy, its value is still not high and is somewhat dispensable.
  • Yangyang’s Forte Circuit cannot knock back super-armor enemies.

Yangyang Team Comp

Yangyang Premium Best Team

Sub DPS
Over 60% of Chixia’s damage comes from Resonance Skill types, with Resonance Skill: Boom Boom accounting for a significant portion. Activating Resonance Skill: Boom Boom requires 30 Thermobaric Bullets, which can be easily interrupted when facing highly mobile enemies.

Yangyang’s Outro Skill can restore Liberation Energy for Chixia. Although Chixia’s Resonance Liberation multiplier is the highest among four-star characters, it requires 150 energy points. Given that Chixia’s energy restoration is not very efficient, players who enjoy using Chixia’s Liberation should pair her with Yangyang to help with energy recovery.

Healer

Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.

Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.

Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.

More Build Guides

Rover

In the current version, you can obtain 4 free Resonance Chains. With the support of the Resonance Chain effect, although each rotation’s damage is lower than that of five-star characters, it is still quite outstanding compared to four-star characters with low Resonance Chains.

However, since there are no additional means to obtain Resonance Chains in the current version, it appears weaker when compared to four-star characters with high Resonance Chains. It is suitable for F2P (Free-to-Play) players to develop. Rover S6 possesses the game’s only RES Reduction effect, which can boost the team’s damage by at least 11.1%, showing future potential.

Rover Havoc

The base stats are much higher than 4-star characters and slightly lower than 5-star characters. However, the Skill Rate and forms are quite excellent, featuring different attack modes in normal and Dark Surge states. During the burst phase, skill multipliers are comparable to five-star characters like Jiyan or Calcharo.

After entering Dark Surge, it boasts outstanding single-target damage output, and the high multiplier Resonance Liberation along with the Echo “Dreamless” also provide decent AoE capabilities.

Verina

After the strengthening in the OBT, the consumption rate of Photosynthesis Energy has been greatly increased. Consuming one layer of Photosynthesis Energy grants 12 Concerto Energy, significantly reducing Verina’s on-field time requirement. At the same time, her Healing Efficiency has been greatly improved, addressing the awkward situation during CBT3 where she couldn’t keep up with Baizhi.

Due to the special nature of the Healer role’s Outro Skill, a healer is essential for the Main DPS to deal maximum damage, underscoring Verina’s indispensability. Additionally, since Verina’s healing is based on her attack power, she also possesses output capability, which, though not outstanding, is still significant. Of course, this is contingent on Verina being built correctly.
