How Strong is Sanhua?
| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
• Outro Skill that provides Basic Attack Amplified is extremely valuable for Basic Attack Damage DPS teams. • Can deal a good amount of Glacio DMG. • Very fast rotation. She has minimal on-field time while giving a huge buff to the dedicated DPS. |
|||
| Weaknesses | |||
|
• Her Forte is a skill check mechanic that requires you to hold her Heavy Attack and release when the Forte line stops inside her glowing Clarity bar. • Need to create the ice structures and detonate them near enemies. Mobile enemies can easily evade said detonation. |
Sanhua is an excellent 4-star Basic Attack DMG amplifier with minimal on-field time needed for her rotations. Her overall gameplay is quite simple to use, aside from the skill check her Forte requires to detonate her Ice Structures.
She can fit in a lot of teams, given that multiple DPS Resonators scale off Basic Attack DMG. Furthermore, her value increases the more you get ahold of her powerful Sequence Nodes. Overall, she's a valuable 4-star sub-DPS unit worth getting as much as possible.

Sanhua is built as a typical sub-DPS that makes excellent use of the Moonlit Clouds set. Her damage is quite good despite its short setup time. For main stats, prioritize getting and balancing her CRIT stats, two 3-COST Glacio DMG pieces, and two 1-COST ATK% Echoes.
For substats aside from Crit rolls, you'll want to get as much Energy Regen as possible to ensure her Liberation is available per rotation. Resonance Liberation DMG is also quite important for her given her Liberation is her strongest attack.
Sanhua Best Echo Sets
Optimal Main Echo
| Main Echo | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Impermanence Heron
|
・Another main echo for a Sub-DPS Sanhua. ・Heron provides Resonance Energy to Sanhua so she can pop her Ultimate faster and at the same time providing extra ATK to the next character switching in. |
 Bell-Borne Geochelone
|
・Provides general shield protection for the team when Sanhua is your Sub-DPS. ・Increases DMG dealt and reduce incoming damage. ・Shield effect can transfer to the next character. |
 Lampylumen Myriad
|
・Increases both Glacio DMG and Resonance Skill DMG. ・Great for a DPS Sanhua. |

Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
★★★ - Best A set build focused on supporting the Main-DPS with Sanhua's Outro Skill and the ATK increase effect of 5-pc Moonlit Clouds. Extremely useful when used on Main-DPS units that rely heavily on Basic ATK DMG. Recommended Main Echo: |
|
Freezing Frost
(5-pc) |
★★☆ - 2nd Best Only 4-Cost Echo that has Freezing Frost as their Sonata Effect. Its skill will also increase Sanhua's Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG. Recommended Main Echo: |
|
Freezing Frost
(2-pc)  Lingering Tunes
(2-pc) |
★☆☆ - 3rd Best Generally increases Sanhua's overall DMG. Not as good as the full 5-pc Freezing Frost set but can be an option if you do not have a full Freezing Frost set yet. Recommended Main Echo: |

Sanhua Best Weapon Explained
Emerald of Genesis is Sanhua's best option, as it provides her with good overall stats for damage and helps her meet the ER requirement to have her Liberation up per rotation. If you don't have it, Overture is a good 4-star alternative for its Energy Regen. Try to meet this requirement as much as possible over her damage.
Sanhua Best Teams
Basic Attack Amplified Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Camellya
(Main DPS) |
 Havoc Eclipse
(5-pc) |
|
Sanhua
(Sub-DPS) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
 Shorekeeper
(Support) |
Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
 Encore | Main DPS Replacement Encore relies on her Basic Attack to deal DMG, so Sanhua's Outro Skill buff can be beneficial for her. |
 Rover (Havoc) | Main DPS Replacement Rover (Havoc) relies heavily on his Basic ATK DMG when attacking under Dark Surge. Sanhua's Outro Skill effect will boost the DMG dealt by the Rover (Havoc) during this time. |
 Calcharo | Main DPS Replacement Calcharo can benefit from the Basic Attack Amplified from Sanhua especially after he uses his Liberation. |
 Lingyang | Main DPS Replacement Lingyang also relies on his basic attack to deal damage. He will benefit greatly from Sanhua's Outro Skill. |
 Verina | Support Replacement Verina is another premium support option that can heal and buff Sanhua and her main DPS. |
 Baizhi | Support Replacement Fills a similar role to Shorekeeper or Verina if you don't have either, but with less powerful offensive buffs. |
 Cartethyia | Main DPS Replacement A majority of damage dealt by Cartethyia is considered as Basic Attack DMG. Sanhua provides her buffs for this damage type, making this team an option. Note: that the healer for this team should also be replaced with Rover (Aero), as they synergize well with Cartethyia better. |
The team comp makes use of Sanhua's Outro Skill that provides a 38% Basic Attack Amplified buff for the next character that takes the field. This is extremely useful for teams that make use of a DPS that mostly scales off Basic Attack DMG, like Camellya.
Shorekeeper will provide the two DPS Resonators with buffs and healing through her Resonance Liberation field, increasing their damage dealt.
General Rotation
| 1 | Start with Shorekeeper so that she can generate enough Resonance and Concerto Energy to activate her Resonance Liberation and Outro Skill respectively. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Once Sanhua's icon is glowing, activate Shorekeeper's Ult to create a Stellarealm, and swap to Sanhua to activate Shorekeeper's Outro Skill for further buffs. |
| 3 | As soon as you take control of Sanhua, immediately use both her Resonance Skill and Liberation if they're available. Once all of your Ice Structures are up, use Heavy Attack: Detonate to blow them all up. |
| 4 | If done correctly, you should have enough Concerto Energy built up. Swap to Camellya and use her standard optimal combo to deal massive damage to the enemy. |
| 5 | Continue to DPS with Camellya until Concerto Energy is charged again. Swap back to Shorekeeper to detonate her Resonance Liberation with an Enhanced Intro Skill. |
| 6 | Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled. |
Sanhua Double DPS Team
| Character / Role | Echo Set |
|---|---|
 Zhezhi
(Main DPS 1) |
 Empyrean Anthem
(5-pc) |
|
Sanhua
(Main DPS 2) |
Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc) |
|
Shorekeeper
(Support) |
Rejuvenating Glow
(5-pc) |
This team features Zhezhi and Sanhua as the main DPS duo of this team. Zhezhi can buff Sanhua's Glacio DMG and the damage of her Ice explosions with her Outro Skill while Sanhua can also buff Zhezhi's Basic Attack DMG. This symbiotic relationship is what makes this team special.
For this team, the best support will Shorekeeper, but Verina and Baizhi are potential alternatives if you don't have her.
General Team Rotation
| 1 | Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until it is full. Use Shorekeeper's Resonance Liberation before switching out. |
|---|---|
| 2 | Switch to Zhezhi, making sure to do her optimal combo then culminating into her Resonance Liberation. Zhezhi's coordinated attacks should be able to deal massive damage during this period. |
| 3 | Switch to Sanhua and do her full combo, maximizing Ice Structure damage. Make sure to fill up her Concerto Energy first before switching to Shorekeeper to detonate the Stellerealm with her Intro Skill. |
| 4 | Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled. |
How to Play Sanhua
| Sanhua Gameplay Guide |
|---|
|
|
Sanhua Gameplay Loop Summary
| ① | Have Sanhua enter via her Intro Skill to generate an Ice Thorn and deal damage. |
|---|---|
| ② | Then, perform Resonance Liberation to deal high Glacio DMG and generate Ice Glacier. Afterward, cast her Resonance Skill to make 1 Ice Prism. |
| ③ | Once all Ice structures are on-field, hold Heavy Attack and release once the Forte line is inside her Clarity stacks. Lastly, exit via her Outro once available. |
Learn How to Create Ice Structures
| Move | Ice Structure Created |
|---|---|
| Resonance Skill | 1 Ice Prism |
| Resonance Liberation | 1 Ice Glacier |
| Intro Skill | 1 Ice Thorn |
Sanhua creates Ice Structures that she can detonate with her Heavy Attacks. To maximize her damage and on-field time, generate all three and detonate all at once.
Detonate the Structures Using Heavy Attacks
Sanhua has a special heavy attack that requires proper timing from the player to execute. Players can hold the attack button and see a cursor moving back and forth over at the forte line. You must let go of the attack while on the blue area called the Frostbite area to execute the special Heavy Attack: Detonate move.
Frostbite Area Expands by Stacking Clarity
| Move | Clarity Stacks |
|---|---|
| Basic Attack 5 | 1 Stack |
| Intro Skill | 1 Stack |
| Resonance Skill | 1 Stack |
| Resonance Liberation | 2 Stacks |
The Frostbite area (or the blue area) expands by stacking Clarity which will make it easier for players to time Heavy Attack: Detonate. Clarity can stack twice at max and can generate through various means. Do note that all clarity stacks are removed upon casting Heavy Attack: Detonate.
Switch Sanhua With A Main-DPS Unit
Sanhua is one of the premier Sub-DPS in Wuthering Waves and that is because of her insane Outro Skill that have the next ally's Basic Attack Amplified by 38% for 14s. Once her Concerto Gauge is full, make sure the next character that takes the field is a Main-DPS character to maximize her Outro Skill.
Sanhua Recommended Combos
Sanhua Standard Fast Combo
| Combo |
|---|
| Intro Skill → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → Heavy Attack (Plunge) → Detonate → Echo Skill → Outro |
This combo is the bread and butter combo for Sanhua whenever you need to switch her in as a Sub-DPS damage dealer. Have her Energy Regen meet the 120%+ requirement to have her Liberation up every rotation.
Start with her Intro to generate an Ice Thorn, then follow it up with her Liberation and Skill to create her two other Ice Structures. Once all structures are available, use Heavy Attack to detonate them. Lastly, activate her Echo Skill since Impermanence Heron is a transform-type and is necessary for this combo before exiting the field.
Easy Resonance Skill Detonation Combo
| Combo |
|---|
| BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → BA5 → Res. Skill → Jump → Heavy Attack (Plunge) → Detonate |
This combo focuses on the swift detonation of Sanhua's ice structures generated by Sanhua's skill. The timing will also ensure that Sanhua has a full stack of Clarity so you can reach the Frostbite area as fast as possible.
When charging up to BA5, make sure to dodge enemy attacks!

Sanhua Skill Priority and Forte List
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attack | ★☆☆☆☆ | Sanhua's Basic Attacks aren't used often since she already gets enough Clarity stacks from her Intro Skill, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Liberation. Upgrade this last since you'll barely be using this. |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★☆☆ | This skill is very important for her kit since it deals good damage while also creating an Ice Prism for her Forte Skill to detonate. However, it still does less damage than her Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation, so you'll want to upgrade this third. |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★☆ | This is the key skill in her damage rotation since this is what Detonates all of her Ice Structures. The key point, however, is that it does less damage than her Ult even if you Detonate all three structures at once. Prioritize upgrading this second since after upgrading Sanhua's Ult. |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★★ | Similar to her Resonance Skill, Sanhua's Ultimate does a lot of damage and creates a Glacier for her Forte Skill to detonate. The big difference compared to her Resonance Skill is that this is the strongest skill in her kit and you'll want to upgrade this first before anything else. |
| Intro Skill | ★★☆☆☆ | While the increased damage from upgrading this skill is nice, Sanhua's Intro Skill is mainly used to get Clarity stacks for her Forte Circuit. However, you'll still be using this more often than her Basic Attack, so upgrade this before you start upgrading that. |
Sanhua's kit revolves around creating Ice Structures and detonating them for big damage while she is charging her Concerto Energy to buff her DPS's Basic Attack DMG. With this in mind, you will be upgrading her Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit first. Follow this up with her Resonance Skill for extra damage!

Sanhua Resonance Chain
Recommended Sequence Nodes
| Why We Recommend It | |
|---|---|
| S1 | ★☆☆☆☆ - Mediocre You'll barely be using Sanhua's Basic Attacks so you'll rarely activate the CRIT Rate Boost. Even with how good the buff is, it's not worth adding Basic Attack 5 into your rotations. Only get this if you're planning on unlocking future Sequence Nodes. |
| S2 | ★★☆☆☆ - Okay With how fast you'll use Sanhua during your rotations, you won't notice the reduced Stamina cost for Heavy Attack Detonate. However, the Anti-Interruption part is useful just in case an enemy hits you mid-combo. Overall, this isn't necessary but it's nice to have if you do get it. |
| S3 | ★★★★☆ - Great This Sequence Node is a wonderful addition to Sanhua's kit since it's a generically great buff to have. Having her damage increased by 35% against enemies below 70% HP will go a long way, especially against Bosses that have large health bars. |
| S4 | ★★★☆☆ - Good The first part of this upgrade is okay at best since it allows Sanhua to spec into CRIT rather than Energy Regen%. However, the second part is what bumps it up to good since it more than doubles Heavy Attack: Detonate's damage. The main downside unfortunately is that it only increases the attack's Burst Damage and not the Ice Burst damage from her Ice Structures. |
| S5 | ★★★★☆ - Great This is by far the best upgrade to unlock for Sanhua's damage output since her Ultimate is already her strongest skill. If you can get enough CRIT Rate%, you'll find her standard combo dealing massive damage even without having to use Heavy Attack: Detonate. |
| S6 | ★★★★★ - Amazing Her capstone skill is the only upgrade in her Resonance Chain that improves on her amazing Outro Skill. Since you'll always want to Detonate both an Ice Prism and Glacier before activating her Outro Skill, the next character that you'll swap to will always get the 20% ATK Boost. |
All Sequence Node Effects
| S1 | Solitude's Embrace Basic Attack V increases Sanhua's CRIT Rate by 15% for 10s. |
|---|---|
| S2 | Snowy Clarity Stamina cost of Heavy Attack Detonate is reduced by 10. When Sanhua casts Resonance Skill Eternal Frost, her Anti-interruption is enhanced for 10s. |
| S3 | Anomalous Vision Sanhua's damage dealt is increased by 35% against targets with HP below 70%. |
| S4 | Blade Mastery Resonance Liberation Glacial Gaze restores 10 Resonance Energy. DMG of the next Heavy Attack Detonate within 5s is increased by 120%. |
| S5 | Unraveling Fate CRIT DMG of Forte Circuit Ice Burst is increased by 100%. Ice Creations (Ice Thorn, Ice Prism, and Glacier) will explode even if they are not detonated. |
| S6 | Daybreak Radiance After an Ice Prism or Glacier is detonated, all team member's ATK is increased by 10% for 20s, stacking up to 2 times. |
