How Strong is Yuanwu?

Strengths
• A Sub-DPS character that can reduce the enemies' Vibration Strength when using his Outro Skill or in his Lightning Infused state. A solid character to use against elites and stronger enemies
• The Thunder Wedge that his Resonance Skill summons stays on the field when he gets switched out, dealing Coordinated Attacks. A good ability that allows Yuanwu to still dish out some damage off-field
• He can be obtained for free when progressing the Tower of Adversity
Weaknesses
• Other than Anti-interruption, he does not have any abilities at S0 that buff the team's damage or a particular element unless you equip him with a support-oriented Echo Set. Having him at S6, however, will have the Thunder Wedge buff the on-field character's DEF
• The Thunder Wedge's AoE is small for a game that has a lot of mobile enemies. You need characters that can group enemies together or immobilize bosses to stay in the Thunder Wedge's range

Yuanwu is an okay Sub-DPS character who has a unique kit that depletes an enemy's Vibration Strength. Sadly, the Thunder Wedge that he summons has a small range. His playstyle also involves switching in multiple times to recast his Resonance Skill, which can be overwhelming.

Yuanwu is an Electro Sub-DPS whose abilities mostly scale off his DEF stat. His Resonance Skill allows Yuanwu to summon a wedge that does not disappear when he switches out, dealing Electro DMG within an area. He also has the unique ability to decrease the enemies' Vibration Strength. So, focus on increasing his CRIT, DEF, and Electro DMG so he can deal as much damage as possible!

Yuanwu Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set Rating
Wuthering Waves - Moonlit Clouds Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc)
★★★ - Best
Equipping Yuanwu with a 5 pc. Moonlit Clouds set allows Yuanwu to be more support-oriented since using his Outro Skill will buff the ATK of the character swapping in for a couple of seconds.

Recommended Main Echo:
Wuthering Waves - Void Thunder Void Thunder
(5-pc)
★★☆ - 2nd Best
Not necessarily inferior to equipping Moonlit Clouds, but the Void Thunder set can be used instead if you want to maximize Yuanwu's damage. Using a 5 pc. Void Thunder increases Yuanwu's Electro DMG after using Heavy Attack or his Skill. Yuanwu's Skill in particular is an integral part of his playstyle which you will almost always use.

Recommended Main Echo:
Wuthering Waves - Moonlit Clouds Moonlit Clouds
(2-pc)
Wuthering Waves - Void Thunder Void Thunder
(2-pc)
★☆☆ - 3rd Best
The third best option for Yuanwu as it provides Energy Regen and Electro DMG. Only use this if you do not have the full Moonlit Clouds or Void Thunder sets.

Yuanwu Best Weapon Explained

Yuanwu's best weapon is Abyssal Surges as it provides Yuanwu an increase in his Energy Regen, allowing him to use his Ultimate sooner. The Basic Attack and Resonance Skill DMG bonus will also help Yuanwu's effectiveness in combat since both abilities are key factors to his combos. A solid 4-star alternative is Amity Accord as it increases Yuanwu's DEF and also provide some Resonance Liberation DMG bonus!

Yuanwu Best Teams

Yuanwu Free-to-Play Team

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

This team contains characters that you can obtain for free. The team revolves around Yuanwu consistently using his Resonance Skill to deploy Thunder Wedge.

A lot of Yuanwu's abilities such as his Outro Skill can deplete an enemy's Vibration Strength. So, switching Yuanwu in and out of the field will eventually stagger elite and stronger enemies!

Character Explanation
Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Support Replacement
If you are confident with your parrying and dodging skills, you can replace Baizhi for Yangyang. She can gather enemies with her Ultimate to contain them in Yuanwu's Thunder Wedge. She can also provide Resonance Energy to the Main DPS or even Yuanwu!

General Rotation

1 Yuanwu enters the battle first to use his Resonance Skill, dropping the Thunder Wedge. After that, use Yuanwu's Basic Attacks to charge the Concerto Energy. Make sure that the enemies are inside the Thunder Wedge's range.
2 When the other Resonators icons glow up, signifying that the Concerto Energy is full, switch with Rover (Spectro) for them to deal some Spectro DMG.
3 While fighting as Rover (Spectro), make sure again that enemies are inside the Thunder Wedge's AoE since this allows it to deal damage and also charges Yuanwu's Forte Gauge even when he is off-field.
4 Switch back to Yuanwu once the Concerto Energy has been fully charged. If Yuanwu's Forte Gauge is full, detonate Yuanwu's Thunder Wedge by long pressing the Resonance Skill button, then do some Basic Attacks to complete the combo.
5 If Yuanwu's Ultimate is available use it and then recast the Skill before switching out to the healer or Main DPS!
6 Repeat the steps until you defeat all the enemies.

2 Once it's available, activate Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation. Switch to Yuanwu once Concerto Energy is full.
3 Use Yuanwu's Resonance Skill on entry. Then, use his Basic Attacks to charge the Concerto Energy while also making sure that the enemies are inside the Thunder Wedge's range.
4 Once Concerto Energy is fully charged, swap to Xiangli Yao. Switching from Yuanwu to Xiangli Yao will weaken the Vibration Strength of enemies with Yuanwu's Outro Skill.
4 Use Xiangli Yao's optimal rotations to maximize his damage output on-field. Make sure that you are fighting the enemies inside the Thunder Wedge's circular field.
5 Once Xiangli Yao has completed his rotations, charge Concerto Energy to the max and switch back to Shorekeeper to have her detonate her Resonance Liberation with her Intro Skill.

How to Play Yuanwu

Yuanwu Gameplay Guide


Use Resonance Skill to Summon Thunder Wedge

Using Yuanwu's Resonance Skill will summon Thunder Wedge on the field. The Thunder Wedge will do some Coordinated Attacks when the on-field character damages an enemy within the wedge's range.

Detonate the Thunder Wedge to Deal AoE Electro DMG

You can detonate the Thunder Wedge to deal Electro DMG when the Forte Circuit gauge is full. You can make it explode by casting Yuanwu's Ultimate or long-pressing the Resonance Skill button. Note that you enter Yuanwu's enhanced state called Lightning Infused after detonating.

How to Charge Yuanwu's Forte Circuit

Wuthering Waves - Yuanwu Forte Circuit

Yuanwu's Forte Circuit gauge gains a charge as long as Thunder Wedge is on the field. You can also obtain additional charges when it deals Coordinated Attacks. Note that you cannot charge the gauge when Lightning Infused!

Unlock Yuanwu's Second Inherent Skill to Upgrade the Resonance Skill

Wuthering Waves - Yuanwu Inherent Skill 2

Unlocking Yuanwu's second Inherent Skill increases the range of Thunder Wedge. It also allows him to automatically drop a Thunder Wedge whenever you swap him out and his Forte Circuit gauge is not full.

Cast Yuanwu's Ultimate to Deal Electro DMG to Enemies

Wuthering Waves - Yuanwu Ultimate

Using Yuanwu's Ultimate allows him to deal Electro DMG and immediately enter the Lightning Infused state.

Increased Anti-Interruption and Vibration Strength Depletion

The Lightning Infused state greatly increases anti-interruption. For Yuanwu, his Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, and Dodge Counter will have an attack speed increase and also deplete Vibration Strength faster.

Unlike the Lightning Infused state gained when detonating Thunderwing Wedge, the enhanced state gained from using Yuanwu's ultimate will persist if you swap out into a different character!

Yuanwu Depletes Vibration Strength

Ability How to Do
Outro Skill Switch Yuanwu out when the Concerto Energy is full.
Thunder Uprising As long as the Thunder Wedge is on the field, it automatically casts this ability whenever you fill up Yuanwu's Forte Circuit gauge. The damage and Vibration Strength depletion increase when unlocking his 1st Inherent Skill.
Any Attacks During the Lightning Infused State Detonate Thunder Wedge or use Yuanwu's Ultimate.

The table above contains all of Yuanwu's abilities that can decrease Vibration Strength. Vibration Strength is the white bar below an enemy's health bar. When it has been depleted, enemies will be staggered for several seconds.

Combat System Guide

Yuanwu Recommended Combos

Yuanwu Optimal Rotation Combo

Combo
Res. Skill → Switch to Main DPS → Trigger Thunder Uprising → Switch to Yuanwu → Res. Skill (long press) → Res. Skill → Lightning Infused Combos → Echo Skill (if available) → Res. Skill → Switch Out

Use Yuanwu's Resonance Skill to summon the Thunder Wedge. Switch to your Main DPS and then deal damage until the Thunder Wedge uses Thunder Uprising, releasing a shockwave.

When the Thunder Wedge casts Thunder Uprising, this means that Yuanwu's Forte Circuit gauge is already full, switch back to him to cast Rumbling Spark, detonating the Thunder Wedge if it is still on-field.

While Yuanwu is in the Lightning Infused state, recast his Resonance Skill and then attack the enemy in order to deplete their Vibration Strength. When the state ends, use Yuanwu's Resonance Skill again before switching out.

Yuanwu Lightning Infused Combos

Basic Attack Combo

Combo
BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → BA5

Do Yuanwu's Basic Attack combo immediately when entering the Lightning Infused state.

Heavy Attack Combo

Combo
HA1 → HA2

A short combo that you can do during the Lightning Infused state is Yuanwu's Heavy Attack chain. Do this after his Basic Attack Combo.

Yuanwu Switch Out Ultimate Combo

Combo
Ultimate → Lightning Infused Combos → Res. Skill → Echo → Switch Out (trigger Outro Skill if available)

If Yuanwu's ultimate is available while following the Optimal Rotation Combo above, use it only after the Lightning Infused state gained from Rumbling Spark ends.

After casting his ultimate, continue doing the Lightning Infused Combos until the state ends. Next, use the Echo Skill of the Bell-Borne Geochelone and then switch to your Main DPS.

If you decide to switch out before the Lightning Infused state ends, your Main DPS will be able to benefit from the anti-interruption effect!

Yuanwu Skill Priority and Forte List

Skill Priority Explanation
Normal Attack ★★★☆☆ Since Yuanwu's enhanced skills are tied to his Forte Circuit, upgrading his Basic Attack has a much lower priority compared to his other abilities.
Resonance Skill ★★★★★ Yuanwu's Resonance Skill should be upgraded first since it increases almost all the damage related to Yuanwu's Thunder Wedge.
Forte Circuit ★★★★ Yuanwu's Forte Circuit is his second most important ability and upgrading it increases the damage of the enhanced Basic Attack, Heavy Attack, and Dodge Counter of his Lightning Infused state. It also improves the damage caused by casting Thunder Wedge when the Forte Gauge is full.
Resonance Liberation ★★★☆☆ Upgrading Yuanwu's Ultimate has a lower priority compared to upgrading his Resonance Skill and Forte Circuit since it only increases its damage. The main purpose of his Ultimate is to instantly enter the Lightning Infused state and grant Anti-interruption.
Intro Skill ★★☆☆☆ After upgrading all the abilities above, Yuanwu's Intro Skill should then be upgraded. Upgrading it only increases his Intro Skill's damage.

Yuanwu's Resonance Skill should be prioritized as it increases all manners of damage related to his Thunder Wedge. After that, focus on upgrading his Forte Circuit as it not only increases Thunder Wedge's damage, but also his overall damage while in the Lightning Infused state. Normal Attack and Resonance Liberation should still be upgraded, but not as much as the first two.

Also, prioritize upgrading his second Inherent Skill as soon as you're able because it expands the effective range of Yuanwu's Thunder Wedge. The skill also allows Yuanwu to drop a wedge during his Intro Skill which is great for optimizing rotations.
