How Strong is Yanyang?

Strengths
• The only character in the game that can recover Energy with their Outro Skill, can effectively be paired with a Main DPS that relies on their Ultimate
• Assigned to the Sub-DPS role since she requires low field time while still dishing out some damage
• Her Ultimate can group up enemies which can be used before switching back to the Main DPS
• She can be obtained for free at the start of the game
Weaknesses
• At S0, she does not have any abilities that buff the team's damage or a particular element unless you equip her with a support-oriented Echo Set. Her S6, however, buffs the ATK of all team members when she uses a Mid-Air Attack after obtaining 3 Melodies, a mechanic of her Forte

Yangyang is a free Sub-DPS character that can group enemies and also has an Outro Skill that funnels Resonance Energy to the character switching in. But, she falls off once you unlock better Sub-DPS that provides DMG buffs.

Echo Set Rating

★★★ - Best
Equipping Yangyang with a 5 pc. Moonlit Clouds set allows her to be more support-oriented since using her Outro Skill will buff the ATK of the character swapping in for a couple of seconds.

Recommended Main Echo:
Wuthering Waves - Sierra Gale Sierra Gale
(5-pc)
★★☆ - 2nd Best
If you want Yangyang to be more damage-oriented, give her a 5 pc. Sierra Gale to increase her Aero DMG. Using this set, however, will lessen the buffs givento Yangyang’s teammate, considering Yangyang only gives ER buffs with no DMG increases.

Recommended Main Echo:

★☆☆ - 3rd Best
If you do not have a full set of the ones recommended above, you can opt for a mix of both sets while you are still farming more Echoes.

Yangyang's Best Teams

Yangyang Early Game Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - Rover (Spectro)Rover (Spectro) Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi

This team composition revolves around Yangyang feeding Energy using her Outro Skill to Rover (Spectro) to charge their Resonance Liberation. With this being an early-game team comp, Baizhi will be the team's healer and also buff the team's damage.

General Rotation

1 Yangyang starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other character's Resonator icons glow up. She can use her Ultimate to group up small enemies and quickly use her Resonance Skill to damage the enemies before swapping out.
2 Once Rover (Spectro) is fully charged, you can switch to them so they can use their Intro Skill, dealing some Spectro DMG. Switching from Yangyang to the Rover (Spectro) will restore their Resonance Energy.
3 Once Rover (Spectro)'s Resonance Liberation can be used, cast it to dish out some AoE Spectro DMG. Then, follow it up with some Basic Attack to charge their Forte Gauge, use their Resonance Skill, and do a couple of Basic Attacks after.
4 Switch to Yangyang again once the Intro Skill has fully charged up. If you need healing, switch to your Baizhi and use their healing skill for some healing.
5 Repeat the steps until all enemies are defeated!

Yangyang Premium DPS Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - JiyanJiyan Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Any Healer Character

If you pulled Jiyan already but still have a few characters to group him up with, this team composition is viable since Yangyang can provide Resonance Energy for Jiyan so that he can use his Resonance Liberation faster.

Your third slot can be Baizhi or Verina if you already have her!

General Rotation

1 Yangyang enters the battle first and charges the Concerto Energy until the other character's Resonator icons glow up. Similar to the early game team, she can use her Resonance Liberation and Resonance Skill to group up and also damage enemies.
2 Once Jiyan is fully charged, you can switch to him to use his Intro Skill. Doing this will also restore Jiyan's Resonance Energy due to Yangyang's Outro Skill.
3 Use Jiyan's Resonance Liberation to enter Qingloong Mode and deal tons of DMG with his Resonance Skill and Heavy Attacks.
4 Switch back to Yangyang once the Intro Skill has fully charged up. If you need some healing, switch to your Support instead.
5 Repeat the steps until there are no more enemies left!

How to Play Yangyang

Yangyang Gameplay Guide





Charge Yangyang's Forte Circuit

Wuthering Waves - Yangyang Forte Circuit Gauge

Your goal during Yangyang's short field time is to optimally charge her Forte Circuit gauge by obtaining Melody stacks.

Abilities That Provide Melody

Ability How to Do
Intro Skill Switch in to Yangyang when the Concerto Energy is full.
Heavy Attack:
Zephyr Song
HA → BA
or
Dodge Counter → BA
Full Basic Attack Chain BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4

When Yangyang switches in when the Concerto Energy is full, she obtains one Melody due to her Intro Skill. Using her Resonance Skill will then provide an additional Melody.

The final way to get a Melody stack depends on the situation you are facing. In most cases, you want to perform 4 consecutive Basic Attacks to maximize her damage on-field.

Use Yangyang’s Charged Attacks

After obtaining three Melodies, cast Heavy Attack: Stormy Strike and then follow it up with a Mid-air Attack: Feather Release.

To do the charged attacks, long press the Basic Attack button. Then, tap the button again when Yangyang is in mid-air for her to dive down!

Use Her Ultimate to Gather Enemies

Yangyang's ultimate creates a cyclone in front of her, deals Aero DMG, and gathers nearby enemies. Ideally, you want to cast her Ultimate when Yangyang switches in so that all of her succeeding attacks hit all the gathered enemies!

Trigger Yangyang's Outro Skill

Yangyang's Outro Skill recovers four Resonance Energy per second, which lasts for five seconds. Trigger this ability by fully charging the Concerto Energy. Then, make sure that you swap out to your DPS to charge their Ultimate!

Charge Heavy Attack During Resonance Skill

You can hold Heavy Attack during her Resonance Skill so that it charges and immediately goes off once the animation ends. Use this as often as possible so that you can activate her Forte Circuit as soon as possible.

Swap Character Once Mid-Air Attack Lands

Once her Mid-Air Attack lands and she's grounded, you can swap out to a different character since the final animation will not get cancelled. Use this in her Outro Skill combos to maximize her Echo Skill's buff timers.

Yangyang's Recommended Combos

Forte Circuit Combo

General Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → Res. Skill → HA → BA → HA → MAA
No Resonance Skill Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → (HA → BA) x2 → HA → MAA

This is Yangyang's standard DPS combo to generate Concerto and Resonance Energy. If she has the Energy to use her Outro Skill or Ultimate, you can look at her Basic and Full Outro Skill Combos respectively.

Basic Outro Skill Combo

Impermanence Heron / Bell-Borne Geochelone Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → Res. Skill → HA → BA → Echo Skill → HA → MAA → Outro Skill (During MAA's Grounded Animation)
Feilian Beringal Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → Echo Skill → Res. Skill → HA → BA → HA → MAA → Outro Skill (During MAA's Grounded Animation)

This is the Outro Skill Combo you'll use if her Ultimate isn't available. If you don't generate enough Concerto Energy with this combo, you may need to use a few more Basic Attacks or a Forte Circuit Combo until it's available.

Full Outro Skill Combo

Impermanence Heron / Bell-Borne Geochelone Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → HA → BA → Echo Skill → HA → MAA → Outro Skill (During MAA's Grounded Animation)
Feilian Beringal Combo
Intro Skill / (HA → BA) → Echo Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → HA → BA → HA → MAA → Outro Skill (During MAA's Grounded Animation)

This is Yangyang's ideal full DPS rotation. When you do this combo with her Ultimate, she'll generate enough Concerto Energy to use her Outro Skill, so you won't have to worry about weaving in extra Basic Attacks to fill the meter.

Forte Priority Explanations

Forte Explanation
Basic Attack Her Basic Attacks are only really used to generate Melody charges for her Forte Circuit. Even if you'll be using this often, it's still a lower priority when compared to her higher priority skills.
Resonance Skill Yangyang's Resonance Skill is her secondary form of crowd-control, but you'll still use this more often than not. You can choose to upgrade this before her Forte Circuit if you prefer to spam this Skill's utility over her Forte Circuit's damage.
Forte Circuit Outside of her Ult, this will be Yangyang's primary source of damage. As mentioned earlier, this Skill's priority is interchangeable with her Resonance Skill depending on your preference of her Resonance Skill's utility or her Forte Circuit's damage.
Resonance Liberation This is Yangyang's most important Skill since her Resonance Liberation is her main source of crowd control, and it's also her strongest damaging move. Focus on upgrading this first before anything else.
Intro Skill While the damage bonus is nice to have, this is still the lowest priority skill for Yangyang since every other skill is more important than this one.

A huge upgrade to Yangyang's crowd control capability and provides a welcome DMG buff to her Resonance Skill.

This increases Yangyang's Resonance Liberation DMG, which is an integral part of her kit.

Genesis. Gold sword. Either you get from free 5-star chest Union level 45 reward. Or by gacha on permanent weapon banner. If you lucky on that banner, you can also get Yangyang too to upgrade her.
