Yangyang: Xuanling Build Guide (Wuthering Waves 2.4)
Complete build for Yangyang: Xuanling as a Havoc Main DPS. Covers best weapons, echo sets, skill priority, team comps, rotation, and common mistakes.
Havoc Main DPS
Heavy Attack Focus
Bane Stacking Kit
Version 2.4
Weapon Priority
Best-in-Slot
Azure Oath (her signature) - 588 ATK, 24.3% CR. Gives 12% All-Attribute DMG Bonus. On Havoc Bane: 36% Heavy Attack DMG Amp and ignores 12% enemy DEF for 8s. Perfect for her Heavy Attack focus.
5★ Alternatives
Emerald Sentence / Emerald of Genesis - Good Crit Rate + Heavy synergy.
4★ Options
Feather Edge / Lumingloss - Solid F2P/CR sticks. Use any 5★ Crit weapon as stat stick if needed.
Why this matters
Her damage is heavily Heavy Attack-based. Weapons without Heavy/DEF ignore or Crit fall off fast.
Echo Set & Main Echo
Best Set
Song of Feathered Trace (5pc) - 2pc: +10% ER; 5pc: Inflict Havoc Bane, Xuanling's Feather gives +20% CR + 35% Heavy Attack DMG for 15s (near-permanent uptime).
Main Echo
Thousand-Puppet Pavilion - Havoc DMG + summons blades that trigger extra Havoc DMG on Bane application. +12% Havoc DMG and +12% Heavy Attack DMG when equipped.
Transitional
Havoc Eclipse sets if the new set isn't farmed yet.

ATK% / ATK%
Substat Priority
Crit Rate = Crit DMG > ATK% > Heavy Attack DMG > ER (target ~120-130% total ER)
Skill Priority & Leveling Order
Forte Circuit (Heavy Attacks core) > Resonance Liberation > Normal Attack > Resonance Skill > Intro Skill
Why this order
Heavy Attacks + Liberation carry the bulk of her damage once Bane stacks are up.
Best Teams & Synergies
Premium Core (Most Discussed)
Yangyang: Xuanling (Main DPS)
Chisa (Sub-DPS / Bane Applicator)
Shorekeeper / Suisui (Support / Healer)
Chisa is near-mandatory for extra Bane stack cap. She lets Xuanling reach full 6 stacks for max Amp/CDMG.
Heavy Attack Focus
Yangyang: Xuanling
Iuno / Mortefi
Chisa / Rebecca
Mono Havoc
Yangyang: Xuanling
Phrolova
Chisa / Cantarella
Budget / F2P
Yangyang: Xuanling
Mortefi
Verina
Key Decision: Chisa or not?
Prioritize Chisa for Bane stacking. Without her, you cap lower and lose big Amp/CDMG. Use Suisui or Shorekeeper for sustain and buffs.
Rotation & Playstyle
Players emphasize quick Bane application, stance swaps, and empowered Heavy Attacks. General flow:
-
Support sets up
Swap in Shorekeeper (or equivalent), full Concerto, swap out.
-
Chisa builds Bane
Intro + skills to build Concerto and apply Bane stacks.
-
Yangyang enters and bursts
Intro Skill + Quick combo (Q - 4A) into Enhanced Heavy Attacks (E - Enhanced H) while managing Feather/Azure stances and consuming Bane for damage.
-
Repeat with buffs
Rotate back to supports for buffs. Keep Bane at high stacks.
Stance Tip
Use Resonance Skill to toggle modes. Enhanced Resonance Skill consumes Bane. Build stacks via Basics, Skills, Intros, and Heavies. Aim for 6 Bane with teammate help for 180% CDMG + high Amp.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring Chisa / Bane stack cap. You get stuck at low stacks, massive DPS loss.
- Low ER (below 120%). You can't loop Liberations smoothly.
- Wrong echo main stats or skipping Song of Feathered Trace. You lose CR/Heavy buffs.
- Over-investing in Basic Attack DMG. Her kit is Heavy-focused.
- Poor rotation timing. Missing empowered Heavy crits is a huge loss.
