Yangyang Xuanling enters Wuthering Waves as a five-star variant, trading her original Aero Outrider abilities for a Havoc-aligned sword kit that dishes out considerably more damage as a member of the Xuanfang Hold. To maximize her newfound power, you need to focus on specific gear, skill priorities, and teammates.

Quick Overview

  1. Equip her signature five-star sword, Azure Oath, or alternatives like Emerald Sentence, Emerald of Genesis, or Somnoire Anchor.
  2. Farm a 5-piece Song of Feathered Trace echo set with a Thousand-Puppet Pavilion main echo.
  3. Prioritize stats targeting crit rate and damage, energy regeneration, Havoc damage bonus, attack, and heavy attack bonus.
  4. Level her skills prioritizing the forte circuit and resonance liberation first.

Best Weapons

The optimal weapon for Yangyang Xuanling is her limited five-star signature sword, the Azure Oath. Because limited weapon banners can be tough to clear, alternative options include the limited five-star Emerald Sentence, the standard five-star Emerald of Genesis, or the four-star Somnoire Anchor.

Best Echo Sets and Stats

A full five-piece set of Song of Feathered Trace provides a massive boost to her energy regeneration. Pair this with a Thousand-Puppet Pavilion main echo to maximize her damage output. If farming proves difficult, you can substitute a five-piece Havoc Eclipse set or a hybrid setup using three pieces of Thread of Severed Fate alongside two pieces of Havoc Eclipse.

When rolling for stats across your echo equipment, prioritize:

  • Crit rate / Crit damage
  • Energy regeneration
  • Havoc damage bonus
  • Attack
  • Heavy attack bonus

Skill Priority

Upgrade Yangyang Xuanling's abilities in the following order to ensure efficient material use and maximum damage scaling:

  1. Forte Circuit & Resonance Liberation (tied)
  2. Resonance Skill
  3. Basic Attack
  4. Intro Skill

Best Team Compositions

Xuanling excels when paired with teammates who help her apply the Havoc Bane status. Her ideal team lineups include:

  • Primary Team: Yangyang Xuanling, Chisa, and Suisui
  • Buffer Setup: Yangyang Xuanling, Lynae, and Mornye (or alternative buffers like Rebecca, Iuno, or Mortefi)
  • Support Option: Verina for healing and sustain capabilities
