As you jump into playing Wuthering Waves, you’ll come across many characters that possess different abilities. One of these characters that you will run into while playing is Yangyang, and she's amazing if you know how to use her correctly. With the best Wuthering Waves Yangyang build, this meta character becomes even better, so what are you waiting for?

We’ll look into the role Yangyang plays, the skills they possess, as well as the weapons they wield. However, Yangyang is just one of many Wuthering Waves characters, and she's even got company at the top of the Wuthering Waves tier list. So collect them all, as the saying goes, and assemble a team.

Best Wuthering Waves Yangyang Build

The best Yangyang build in Wuthering Waves is:

  • Weapon - Emerald of Genesis, Scale: Slasher, Sword of Voyager
  • Echo Sets - Sierra Gale, Moonlit Clouds
  • Stat Priority - HP 819, ATK 20, DEF 90, Energy Regen 100%, Crit Rate 5%, Crit DMC 150%
  • Team - Yangyang, Chixia, Verina

To kick off this build, we recommend three different weapons, the Emerald of Genesis, the Scale: Slasher, and the Sword of Voyager.

With these weapons, you'll need a few skill sets, echoes, as well as your resonance chain to be fully effective on the battlefield.

Yangyang has a total of five skills and a combination of all these skills will make her a great asset to your team. These six skills are the basic attack, resonance skill, forte circuit, resonance liberation, intro skill, and outro skill (during battle you might find yourself dealing more basic attacks than any other skill, so we’ll focus on all basic attacks).

Because Yangyang is of the Aero element, all basic attack skills offer great Areo damage to the target. Her basic attack lands four consecutive attacks that deal enough Aero damage to the target. Heavy attacks lunge you towards the target, hence adding power to your attack and dealing even more Aero damage, this attack needs a lot of stamina.

The monsoon attack, just like the name implies, deals winds of sword slashes towards the enemy and the mid-air attack helps you attack an enemy while you're airborne. Lastly, the dodge attack comes just after a dodge, and it lunges you forward at the opponent with great force to deal enough Aero damage. There are 6 resonance chains that you can use in battle to subdue the enemy and come out on top.

Kicking off these skills are the Sapphire Skies and Soaring Sparrows, and these give Yangyang a 15% Aero DMF bonus for eight seconds. Nesting Twigs, in Beaks They Harrow, follows through, giving Yangyang’s heavy attacks an additional 10 Resonance Energy. Next is the Nature Sings in Symphony, which increases the Resonance Skill DMG Bonus by a whopping 40% and ups the wind field’s pulling effect by 33%.

Close Your Eyes and Listen In is a resonance chain for Yangyang, and it increases her mid-air damage by 95%. Winds Whisper in Harmony steps up the damage to the Yangyang's wind spirals by 85%. Lastly, the A Tribute to Life's Sweet Hymn resonance chain increases mid-air attacks of Yangyang's team members by 20% for about 20 seconds.

Best Wuthering Waves Yangyang Team

The best Yangyang team in Wuthering Waves is:

  • Yangyang (Sub-DPS)
  • Chixia (Main DPS)
  • Verina (Support)

Just like all other characters in Wuthering Waves, Yangyang needs to team up to defeat the enemy. For this, her best choices for a team are Chixia as the Main DPS, Yangyang filling her role as the Sub DPS and Verina coming in as support for the team. Chixia comes in with brute force, dealing damage to the energy, Yangyang comes in as support for Chixia and also deals a major amount of damage.

Verina’s abilities as a healer will come in handy to ensure that both the Main DPS (Chixia) and the Sub DPS (Yangyang) stay alive despite taking damage. Some players might find playing Baizhi as a healer in place of Verina to be effective, but the choice of which to employ is based on your style of play.
