Wuthering Waves: Yuanwu Build Guide

As a Leihuangquan martial arts expert, Yuanwu owns a boxing gym in Jinzhou. The gym used to be known for training Leihuangquan Masters, though many of the Masters met with unfortunate fates over the years, leading to the rumor that the gym was unlucky. Yuanwu was the last practitioner to reach the level of Master. But after he was expelled as a teenager, the gym wasn't able to survive and closed its shutt

Yuanwu is one of several characters that won’t need to stay in battle for a long time. He can be built to have several playstyles to enhance how long he’s on the field, but you’ll generally want to keep his time there limited to deal more damage with a heavy hitter. Jinhsi is going to be a character that compliments his shorter field time with her longer requirements on the field. She’s a heavy hitter and can benefit from Yuanwu’s Thunder Wedge, which he can put down in fights. Yuanwu doesn’t buff other characters nearly as well as some others, but his persistent field damage after he’s been switched out will allow you to focus on dealing damage with Jinhsi as often as possible.

The Lunar Cutter 4-star weapon is another nice option as well when upgraded after obtaining duplicates. Lunar Cutter will give Changli 6 stacks of a buff named Oath when entering battle. Every Oath stack will increase her attack by 2% and can be triggered 1 time every 12 seconds . Every 2 seconds , the Oath buff will go down by 1 stack , but when defeating an enemy, all stacks will be replenished. This is a good choice if you’re looking to keep Changli’s time on the field brief and focus on maximum dps within a short amount of time.


You have to choose between these characters, and Jinhsi was added to the choices during the first half of the Version 1.1 update. She's a five-star Spectro unit with the Broadblade as her weapon type. Once you build her properly, you'll have a satisfying time while using

As usual with support characters, you’ll probably want to stick with Verina or Baizhi. Both healers give out solid buffs to your characters and provide amazing heals for your teams. Neither character is going to output a ton of damage, but their whole kit revolves around healing up the party and providing damage buffs for the damage dealers. You just can’t go wrong with having either of these supports in almost every party you make.

When considering some solid team compositions for Changli, you’ll really want to look at bringing Yinlin with her if you’ve gotten her. Changli works well with Jinhsi as well, but her synergy with Yinlin is on another level. Yinlin is really special in how quickly she gains energy and burns through her skills in her burst phase. On top of this, both characters can buff each other to deal even more damage. Yinlin is very versatile and quite possibly your best partner for Changli.

There are a few really nice weapon options for Yuanwu, the first of which will be a relatively easy 5-star weapon to obtain. The Abyss Surges 5-star is a solid choice for you to get into Yuanwu’s hands. These gauntlets will increase Energy Regen by 12.8% and when Yuanwu hits an enemy with his Resonance Skill, his Basic Attack will increase by 10% . This effect will last for 8 seconds and when hitting enemies with his Basic Attack, his Resonance Skill gains a 10% bonus that will also last for 8 seconds . This is a solid option to make sure that Yuanwu gets some good Energy Regen while also receiving overall good damage buffs on top of it all.

Jianxin or Yinlin also work well with Yuanwu as another alternate dps character option. The only issue is that Jianxin has a variety of builds and some of them will come at the cost of her overall damage. Yinlin can deal a ton of damage quickly but also needs to be swapped out often to take advantage of intro skills and various buffs from other characters. Using either of these options will require you to play a quicker style and swap characters frequently. It's a fun and unique way to play the game, but it won’t be ideal for everyone.

Another option for him will be the Stonard 4-star gauntlets. These will provide a nice damage boost to Yuanwu’s Resonance Liberation. When Yuanwu’s Resonance Skil l has been used his Resonance Liberation damage receives an 18% damage bonus for 15 seconds . This is another simple weapon, but it provides a solid bonus to Yuanwu and will bring his Resonance Liberation damage to another level. Overall, this is just a nice little buffer weapon to use while waiting to get one of the stronger options available for Yuanwu.
Now that you’ve gotten an idea of what to use with Changli, you’ll want to go ahead and level up her skills as well. After that has been done, you’ll be ready to carry on and really get the hang of how she plays. Getting some skill upgrades will help out in the long run as they’ll slowly weathering waves Longgang build up into helping out a lot as you continue using Changli.


This has led to many people to speculate that Yuanwu might be a savvy business person overseeing multiple enterprises. But when confronted about such theories, Yuanwu always glosses over the topic by distracting them with a steaming cup of
