Review

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Can be played as a Solo DPS or as a Sub DPS in a more supporting role

  • Deals excellent damage for a 4-star with great potential to grow with Sequences

  • Can make use of one of the best Echoes in the game effectively; the Dreamless Echo

  • Has incredible parrying abilities making bosses easier to deal with

  • High-risk high-reward play style

Cons

  • You’re almost always 1 hit from death, which can be a problem when fighting multiple enemies, especially ranged ones

  • Damage at S0 is lesser compared to other 5-star damage dealers

Review

Danjin is a 4-Star Havoc Sword wielder that can function as either a Hybrid character which offers Support as well as secondary DPS, or a High DPS unit in teams completely centered around her. This is thanks to her ability to execute high damage and consistent combos throughout a fight outside of her cooldown-based abilities. However, it is worth noting that playing Danjin in this way will deplete her HP quickly, even if you bring a healer, due to her berserker-style kit.

True to the berserker archetype, consuming her HP is what builds up her Forte Gauge. The Gauge has two milestones; at 50% capacity, it will allow her to use her most powerful attack - Chaos Cleave. This can be quickly succeeded by Scatterbloom, dealing tremendous damage and also healing Danjin for a considerable amount. At 100%, the damage multiplier for both skills is increased, and as such it is advised to only trigger Chaos Cleave when Danjin’s Forte Gauge is 100% full to maximize her damage potential.

Danjin’s skill is centered around converting her basic attacks into multiple possible combos as follows:

  • Single basic attack followed by a single skill.

  • Two basic attacks followed by two skills - This will inflict the hit enemies with Incinerating Will, which increases the damage taken by Danjin’s other attacks. It is important to keep this active on your primary target whether you are using Danjin as Sub DPS or Main DPS.

  • Three basic attacks followed by three skills - outside of the previous combo to keep Incinerating Will active, Danjin should be primarily utilized to perform this combo as it not only deals the highest damage of the 3 choices, but also generates the highest amount of Forte Gauge, which is essential to her gameplay.

Lastly, Danjin’s Ultimate is a simple on-demand high Havoc DPS nuke that targets everything in front of her. Despite the fact that it features an incredibly long casting time, it is an excellent choice as a burst damage option as it freezes most time-based clocks for its entire duration.

When it comes to staying on the field and what she can provide, Danjin is flexible depending on which playstyle you prefer for her. She can stay on field for a significant amount of time with her extended combos, providing excellent sustained damage as a primary damage dealer. Alternatively, she can spend minimum time cycling her cooldowns and maintaining her Incinerating Will debuff, providing fantastic burst damage as a hybrid Sub DPS while also buffing Havoc DMG% amplification.

When it comes to playing her, it has to be noted that your experience can largely differ on the basis of the role you choose. If you wish to use Danjin as primary DPS, it means dealing with her berserker-styled gameplay. That is to say, she will continuously be living on the edge of her HP pool, relying on her Forte skills to replenish it. The recovery won’t last long however; she will chew through her recovered HP, making it imperative that you must master the art of dodging for it is about to turn into a Souls Game. Even with a healer on field, she is unlikely to survive a hit due to how fast she burns her HP pool. On other hand, if you prefer the Sub DPS & Support Hybrid Danjin, she will stay reasonably healthy most of the time with assistance of a healer, allowing you to play more relaxedly.

Danjin’s Outro provides 23% Havoc Amplification, which offers a significant damage boost to any Havoc character switching in. Regardless of which role you prefer for Danjin - be it Main DPS or Sub DPS & Support Hybrid, she would prefer a full damage build. No matter how much time she spends on the field, she can deal a significant chunk of damage, making Dreamless Echo and 5P Havoc Set the best choice for her.

Overall, Danjin has no problems being the Solo DPS in teams centered around her, should she have a skilled player controlling her. As a 4-star while her damage at S0 is slightly less than her 5-star counterparts, investing in Sequences increases her damage potential greatly. But she’s also excellent when played alongside Havoc Rover as a Sub DPS & Support Hybrid.

Ratings

This tier list assesses characters based on their combat potential in Wuthering Waves current most demanding content Tower of Adversity (ToA). ToA is a mode similar to Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss or Honkai Star Rail’s Memory of Chaos and requires multiple teams, strong Echoes and good Weapons. This mode offers a reasonable mix of Boss encounters (single target), Elite packs (2-3 targets) and AoE scenarios (5+ Targets), allowing multiple characters to find a niche but in the end, there's a bias toward single target focused characters at the top-end.

Please keep in mind Wuthering Waves is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Wuthering Waves is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.

Best Weapons

107.38%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 587 | CRIT DMG: 48.6%

Changli's signature weapon that's not only fantastic for her but also usable on all damage-focused Sword users who have a large portion of their damage originating from Resonance Skill damage. Offers a huge main stat of CRIT DMG% granting excellent scaling, 12% permanent ATK% and up to 56% increased Resonance Skill DMG% which should be at or close to full power during the bulk of your rotation when opening with one or two resonance skills.

100%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 587 | CRIT Rate: 24.3%

Outstanding Sword choice, offering significantly higher base damage due to its 5★ rarity, as well as a stackable ATK% buff almost every character can effortlessly get 1 stack of (but with 2 also being easily achievable by most when played correctly). Additionally has a good amount of Energy Regen, which on most characters will allow one sub-stat of Energy Regen to be allocated elsewhere to increase damage even further. Best Sword choice across the board with only S5 4★ Swords having a chance to compete with it.

83.37%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 412 | ATK: 30.3%

Exceptional all-around generic Sword gaining its bonus close to unconditionally as most Resonators almost always aim to make use of their Intro skill and very few characters spend more than 15 seconds on field during their duration.

82.03%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 387 | ATK: 36.4%

Sword option for Heavy and Basic ATK users with an easy to trigger passive - with the only downside being its 10 second time limit. For characters that use their Skill multiple times per rotation, this downside is a non-issue but for Main DPS characters who take up a lot of field time and don't use their skill often this sword can lose value.

82.03%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 412 | ATK: 30.3%

Powerful sword for Resonators spending minimal time on the field - the shorter the better. Best for Hybrid characters executing their rotation fast and infrequently, but less powerful on Main DPS characters that aim to spend extended time on field.

78.69%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 387 | ATK: 36.4%

Sword with decent base stats but a passive that only activates after taking sufficient damage after which it offers a sizable increase Heavy Attack DMG. Primarily suitable only for berserker characters that sacrifice their life to deal damage like Danjin, but can be used strategically after multiple copies have been merged (only calculated with bonus active on characters that consume their life to deal damage).

68.13%

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 325 | ATK: 24.3%

Easily accessible 3★ weapon that despite having lower base attack makes up for it with a high ATK% bonus at higher dupes. It does not have enough stats to compete with 4-star weapons but is a reasonable option if it's all you have. The only downside is that the buff only lasts 10 seconds, meaning it may fall off in the hands of a Main DPS character who takes up more field time.

Lingering Tunes requires time to ramp up and is reset after switching characters (which is a VERY common team tactic in endgame). This set of calculations displays expected performance if you switched the character constantly never maintaining the buff (switch every 1.5 seconds or faster).

Best Main Echoes

Echoes in Wuthering Waves are an essential part of the character rotations, granting a large amount of Resonance Energy and damage but at the cost of high field time for the most powerful ones. But by using some Echoes right before you're about to switch out on the character, you're able to move to your next character while your previous one is still in the echo animation - it’s what we call an Echo Swap Cancel.

Echo Swap Cancel is almost always the optimal way to use Echoes, and will result in big reductions in character field time and large increases to DPS, but not all of the most powerful Echoes can be swap cancelled in this way. For example, the Feilian Beringal (Aero), Dreamless (Havoc), Tempest Mephis (Electro), Mourning Aix (Spectro), and Infernal Rider (Fusion) Echoes can all be Swap Cancelled.

The remaining element, so Glacio while having powerful Echoes has none powerful enough that can be swap cancelled, and to make things worse, no Echoes that generate sufficient Energy and damage for their field time investment.

The result of this is that you can expect Glacio characters to have higher field time and lower DPS in calculations than their other elemental counter parts until they receive better Echoes to use.

Set

Sun-sinking Eclipse

One of the strongest burst damage Echoes in the game that also generates a sizeable chunk of Resonance Energy. What makes this Echo strong is that its damage is delivered in a massive 360 degree area around the target it fixates on and is immediately swap cancellable the second it's used with 0 downsides. When using this Echo, always use it and immediately switch out so it deals it's damage and finishes its animation while the caster of the Echo is off the field. Due to this fact this Echo is normally used outside of characters burst windows.

Rotation

Below you can find optimal rotation (or rotations) for Danjin. The total time needed to perform it is 11.16 seconds. When selecting the rotations we prioritized achieving 100 Concerto as fast as possible and once that condition was fulfilled, we focused on maximizing the damage output. As or if new and more optimal rotations are found, we'll update the characters calculations as needed.


MAINTENANCE

Due to Danjin’s kit nature and her Burst Rotation flexibility, she isn't required to perform any actions beforehand. However, there are certain things to aim for to be maintained throughout combat, despite her not needing them to achieve certain energy thresholds at specific times unlike other characters.

  • Danjin’s Incinerating Will should be kept active at all times, to ensure damage amplification, to do this, weave in the following combo throughout battle in addition to Normal Burst combo listed below:
    • Basic P1 OR Skill: Carmine Gleam
    • Basic P2
    • Skill: Crimson Erosion I
    • Skill: Crimson Erosion II

Keep using Danjin's Echo on cooldown, while using Dreamless ensure to Swap-Cancel it as soon as it's available. However, if using alternative Echo, such as buffing one, aim to utilize it before executing a long burst combo.

If Ultimate becomes earlier than planned, use it immediately as long as Incinerating Will is active on the enemy to not waste energy. However, if you are running a team that aims to enhance it with Deepen Outros, stack those first.

BURST COMBO

Danjin’s burst combo doesn’t require it to be executed uninterrupted - allowing her to use Dodges or Swapping to other characters before returning to finish the combo. This is as her preferred Echo (Dreamless) has no buff associated with it and her kit lacks any strict duration to fit damage into. However, if using a team with specific Deepen amplification effects that prohibit switching, consider using that first before performing Swap mid combo.

Synergies

Example Teams

Danjin's kit makes her playable in many different ways. Thanks to her access to shorter lower damage rotations and sustained damage over extended periods of time, she can be played as a standard hybrid, a standard main DPS, but also a very potent solo carry. Pick whatever team suits you best, as they're all viable and competitive (with the fastest teams being shown first).

Team #1 - Camellya Hybrid

Team #2 - Havoc Rover Hybrid

Team #3 - Main DPS

Team #4 - Solo Carry
