Is surprisingly a great user of the Rejuvenating Glow healing set by being able to run the Originite: Type IV weapon to trigger it with a single basic attack;
Has the shortest rotation time in the game, as he doesn’t need to use anything beyond a basic attack, and his skill and echo;
Requires absolutely no investment to perform;
Arguably the easiest character to play, just use basic, skill, echo and swap off;
Provides interruption resistance to the entire team, making all rotations easier to perform;
Makes the stagger bar of enemies easier to shred through;
He’s free!
Cons
Does not provide close to any buffs and is lacking compared to other supports in that department;
Needs to replace his Thunder Wedge often against highly mobile enemies;
Does pretty much literally zero damage unless you’re willing to invest hard into him, which has very little return;
Only works in a single team as of patch 1.4 (Jinhsi), where he is not the strongest option, incentivizing investment even less.
Review
Yuanwu is a free 4-star Electro Gauntlet Hybrid character whose main role is to provide buffs to the rest of your team with very low field time. His unique support abilities include a team-wide anti-interruption buff, which makes received enemy attacks not cancel your own, as well as the ability to deal extra Vibration Strength bar damage with his Outro, allowing you to stagger enemies, particularly bosses, and make them vulnerable in short amounts of time.
Yuanwu’s skill, replaceable once every 3 seconds, is the core of his gameplay. Summoning a Thunder Wedge that creates a large circular area around itself, it generates Forte gauge for Yuanwu by launching Coordinated Attacks every 1.2 seconds to enemies who take damage within it. Dealing damage based on his DEF, it represents the most important part of his kit and lasts for 12 seconds.
However, once Yuanwu’s Forte gauge is filled, which is going to be generated off-field by his Thunder Wedge’s coordinated attacks, he can use an enhanced skill that detonates the Thunder Wedge early, dealing a bigger burst of damage based on his DEF. He then enters a state where the rest of his own attacks are empowered. His Ultimate, which deals damage based on his DEF and gives his Forte’s enhanced state to the entire team, which in the case of his other teammates grants the Interruption Resistance buff. It also has the Thunder Wedge detonation effect, which greatly helps his generation of Concerto Energy.
All things considered, this makes Yuanwu a character who wants to spend minimal time on the field due to his kit being pretty much exclusively centered around placing his Thunder Wedge down and leaving the field immediately. While he gets enhanced attacks from his Forte’s enhanced state, they end up having extremely subpar damage compared to the rest of the cast; all in all, in his single meta use case, you end up pretty much forfeiting this kit entirely.
And now we enter into the main problem with Yuanwu and why he is a low-tier character: presenting subpar damage, and sporting literally no inherent damage buffs in his kit, he does not fill either of the two niches that are required to be a meta character, healing not being necessary due to dodging, healers simply being favoured due to their buffing potential.
As a result, Yuanwu finds himself only one meta niche: being a stack generator for one of the best characters in the game, Jinhsi. Thankfully, he does have Coordinated Attacks that can have 100% uptime, meaning you can infinitely refresh his Thunder Wedge and have it always be ready to hit enemies. As currently the only character in the game that practically does so, he finds value in being the best Forte stack generator for Jinhsi, who capitalizes off of Coordinated Attacks, and finds himself usable sporting the Rejuvenating Glow Echo set and the 3 star weapon Originite: Type IV to allow him to heal himself and trigger the 15% team-wide attack buff the set provides. Only requiring him to add a single Basic Attack to his rotation and simply requiring him to place his Thunder Wedge down and ignore the rest of his kit entirely, he is completely effective to use in Jinhsi teams at level 1 with a 3 star weapon and level 0 echoes, allowing you to invest in your other characters without sacrificing close to any of the team’s damage ceiling.
But let’s not forget that even in this role, he finds himself doing practically no damage and as a result contributes smaller amounts to the whole team’s damage than any option that does. Not to mention that he only has ONE team he properly works in, and requires a very specific build to work (albeit not being an expensive one, it requires you to build your support on a second supportive set, i.e Moonlit Clouds, which is awkward to do in itself).
In summary, this makes Yuanwu usable in a single team, and not useful in many other places. But if you still wish to use him in this role, he is very much recommendable, as his simplistic gameplay makes him very easy to pick up for even the most casual of players.
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
Support configuration
If you're playing Yuanwu in the Support role, here is the Weapon you should use on him (so he can trigger the Rejuvenating Glow set):
1
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 300 | CRIT DMG: 40.5%
Gauntlets with the unique function of adding healing to a characters kit causing their Basic Attacks to restore a small amount of health to themselves with a cooldown of 3 seconds. The Gauntlets have bad combat stats and the heal would otherwise be considered terrible for most content but it allows characters to activate the incredibly powerful 5P Rejuvenating Glow set which requires healing to buff. This weapon should only be equipped when aiming to use the set on a character who could not otherwise heal.
Hybrid configuration
If you're playing Yuanwu in the Hybrid role, here's how much his damage output will be affected by the Weapons:
101.32%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 587 | CRIT Rate: 24.3%
Xiangli Yao's signature and an ideal weapon for any Resonance Liberation based Gauntlet user. Grants a tremendous 24.3% CRIT RATE boost and 12% generic DMG% boost all permanently and on top of that also grants an incredibly convenient 48% Resonance Liberation DMG% lasting 8 seconds on use of the wearers Liberation. Due to the timing of when this buff activates, it is almost always up when you need it most and the duration can also be extended up to 3 times for 5 seconds each time whenever you use a resonance skill. This extends the total duration of this buff to a whopping 23 seconds.
100%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 337 | DEF: 61.5%
Outstanding damage focused option for DEF-scaling damage dealers that deal a reasonable portion of their damage with their Resonance Liberation. Current best option for all DEF scalers.
93.03%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 412 | CRIT Rate: 20.2%
Specialist Gauntlets for Resonance Liberation scaling users, thanks to its passive that grants increased Resonance Liberation DMG% after using a Resonance Skill. Still usable by characters who don't focus specifically on Liberation damage as a big part of their kit, thanks to the reasonably high base stats but more importantly CRIT RATE main stat.
90.36%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 300 | DEF: 38.4%
Free to play accessible alternative for DEF-scaling damage dealers that make use of their Resonance Liberation as a damage dealing tool. A good alternative if you don't have Amity Accord.
86.70%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 300 | CRIT DMG: 40.5%
Gauntlets with the unique function of adding healing to a characters kit causing their Basic Attacks to restore a small amount of health to themselves with a cooldown of 3 seconds. The Gauntlets have bad combat stats and the heal would otherwise be considered terrible for most content but it allows characters to activate the incredibly powerful 5P Rejuvenating Glow set which requires healing to buff. This weapon should only be equipped when aiming to use the set on a character who could not otherwise heal.
85.51%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 325 | DEF: 30.7%
An easily accessible supportive option with a reasonable amount of Energy Regen. It also grants the unique ability to gain a sizable chunk of raw Resonance Energy once every 20 seconds. For most character's rotations in teams, this bonus will be ready every time it's their turn to switch-in, making this weapon a great choice for any character who doesn't need damage but needs their Ultimate fast and has trouble accessing it otherwise. The flat energy gain is more powerful the less energy the character and team they are a part of can generate.
85.01%
Stats at Level 90: ATK: 587 | ATK: 36.4%
One of the top Gauntlets options in game with the only competitors being 4★ Weapons with multiple dupes. Offers high base ATK, ATK%, a good amount of Energy Regen to save at least 1 sub-stat on gear to be reallocated to better uses and a conditional bonus boosting Resonance Skill damage and Basic Attacks that is very easy to satisfy.
Best Echo Sets
Best Echo Sets show the best sets that support the main character playstyle and work out of the box while the Special Echo Sets either are situational, support an alternative playstyle or are targeted toward min-maxers. The percentage numbers showcase the relative DPS increase when you take into account the set bonus only. For some characters there's no DPS (or its equivalent) available and in that case we listed the sets in the order of priority.
Important! The 2.0 introduced quite a lot of new Echoes and we need more time to properly test out all of them (especially considering the past bugs related to them that made some stronger, some weaker). The builds below are provisional and we will be updating them over the next few days as we do our testing - so before you use all your stamina on the new Echoes, please have a bit of patience.
Best Echo Sets
1
2 Set: Healing increases by 10%.
5 Set: Upon healing allies, increase ATK of the entire team by 15%, lasting 30s.
Offers a 10% unconditional Healing% boost and an most importantly a 15% ATK% boost for the entire team, lasting 30 seconds whenever you heal yourself or any of your allies. This bonus can be triggered by character abilities and weapon effects, is easy to keep active 100% of the time and is a big help for all party members.
Below you can find Main Echo options that you should be using with the set:
Fallacy of No Return
- Grants 10% increased Energy Regeneration for the wearer and a team wide 10% ATK boost on use for 20 seconds. A strong option for those looking to generate as much energy as possible or who favor a more permanent party buffing effect compared to Bell-Borne Geochelone.
Bell-Borne Geochelone
- While nowadays a worse option for the Rejuvenating Glow set for damage than the Fallacy of No Return due to a shorter buff uptime, only granting 10% DMG Bonus for 15 seconds, the Bell-Borne Geochelone remains a good choice if you don't have a good Fallacy to use for the set. It also has increased survivability by blocking 50% of the damage from a max of 3 hits if you desire to have that in your team.
2
2 Set: Energy Regen increases by 10%.
5 Set: Upon using Outro Skill, ATK of the next Resonator increases by 22.5% for 15s.
Offers a 10% unconditional Energy Regen% boost taking some pressure off your gear when aiming at ER breakpoints. Also upon using Outro, grants the next character switching in a 22.5% ATK boost, amplifying any of your main damage dealers burst windows.
Below you can find Main Echo options that you should be using with the set:
Impermanence Heron
- Supportive Echo that can be run at the cost of a sizeable chunk of damage for the character who equips, trading personal gain for team benefits. Should always be used and immediately switch cancelled right before performing an Outro, leading to another DPS. When done so will grant the next character switching in 12% increased DMG% which when combined with the 5P Moonlit set which also grants 22.5% ATK% under the same conditions makes for a sizeable boost. While the echo does lower the damage of whoever wears it, it grants a massive chunk of energy on use usually saving 1 or sometimes even 2 Energy Regen sub stats that may otherwise be needed by the wearer allowing for some damage to be recovered.
Special Echo Sets
2 Set: Energy Regen +10%.
5 Set: Increase the Resonator's Coordinated Attack DMG by 80%. Upon a critical hit of Coordinated Attack, increase the active Resonator's ATK by 20% for 4s.
Offers an unconditional 10% Energy Regen% and 80% Coordinated DMG boost. Also grants a passive supportive effect which triggers when the wearer of this set critically strikes with a Coordinated attack - this effect grants the on field Resonator an ATK% boost regardless if they're the wearer of the set or not.
Below you can find Main Echo options that you should be using with the set:
Nightmare: Tempest Mephis
- Offers an unconditional 12% Electro DMG and 12% Resonance Skill DMG boost when placed in the Main Echo slot, making it a solid choice for Electro focused resonators who emphasize Resonance Skill damage and are looking to use either the 5P Empyrean Anthem Echo or 5P Void Thunder set bonus.
Important! CRIT DMG has base value of 150% and Energy Regen has a base value of 100% when you check them in game. The recommended values below don't include the base value but rather show how much on top of it you need to obtain.
HP: 13000+
DEF: 2800-4000+
ELECTRO DMG%: 52%-82%+
CRIT RATE%: 50-70%+
CRIT DMG% 100-140%+
Energy Regeneration: 25-35%
A large portion of Yuanwu's potential damage and supportive capabilities on top of Concerto generation comes from his ultimate so gaining access to it preferably on cooldown is incredibly important.
To ensure you have it up in a timely manner we recommend 25-35% Energy Regen but depending on your chosen team composition and the enemy you're fighting, you may want to invest into the stat more.

Rotation
Below you can find optimal rotation (or rotations) for Yuanwu. The total time needed to perform it is 2.96 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.
Unlike most primary DPS and Hybrid dealers, Yuanwu features no set rotation when played and instead focuses on his Ultimate and Resonance Skill, which make up the majority of his endgame capabilities. While we have assigned him a “rotation” for the purpose of calculations, it is better to refer to the following list as things to watch out for during his gameplay instead:
Building Yuanwu’s Forte Gauge as fast as possible should be your focus as it maximizes his damage potential and generates Concerto and Resonance Energy.
While his Thunder Wedge (skill) is active, he gains Forte Gauge passively, and gains additional Forte each time he lands a coordinated attack (whether after an attack by himself or via ally) on an enemy in his Wedge radius. As such it is essential to keep his Wedge active at all times and within range of the currently targeted enemy to maximize Forte generation.
Another benefit of keeping his Thunder Wedge active and in range of target enemy is that it emits a pulse of energy dealing small AoE damage upon completely filling his Forte.
Using a charged skill on an enemy to expend filled Forte Gauge is by far, the easiest way to generate Concerto and Resonance Energy for him.
Upon executing his Ultimate or Forte Gauge empowered skill, he explodes any active Thunder Wedges, thus making it important to ensure it’s presence on the target you are about to hit with either skill beforehand. (Thunder Wedge can be summoned back shortly to minimize downtime).
Yuanwu’s Ultimate skill grants him Lightning-infused state grants him many effects, including Anti-Interruption which benefits other team members even after Swapping.
Yuanwu’s Ultimate should be utilized as soon as it's available (preferably with detonation of a Wedge), unless it's being saved to assist an teammate with Anti-Interruption buff.
Despite Lighting Infused state being an enhanced state, like many other characters possess, due to its low multipliers, it's not worth keeping Yuanwu on the field to utilize his Basic Attack combos.

Synergies
Below you can find a list of some of the stronger synergies between this character and others.
Jinhsi - Yuanwu is an excellent Hybrid partner for Jinhsi who - out of all of her potential hybrid teammates - requires the least field time by far. Yuanwu doesn't offer to much in terms of total damage or buffs but he does offer a consistent permanently accessible Electro Coordinated Attack to assist with stacking up Jinhsi's Forte Gauge. Yuanwu is absolutely a top option for Jinhsi and should not be underestimated - he is easy to play, gives her what she needs and allows for you to focus on playing 2 characters for the most part instead of 3 due to his simplistic nature.
Verina as a healing support can easily accommodate running the 5P Rejuvenating Glow set alongside a Bell-Borne Geochelone echo, offering the team a wide array of offensive and defensive buffs already bringing a tonne of worth just from that alone. Additionally Verina's many rotational options to access her Ultimate and Concerto are all fast and relatively easy to execute, leaving ample field time for the rest of team mates to execute their combos. Verina's Outro is by far the most flexible and powerful Outro in the game granting all allies 15% generic DMG% Amplify for 30 seconds. Most units only grant 1 type and only for the very next unit to switch in locking them into staying on field less they lose the buff but Verina grants it to all allies completely unrestricted. On top of this Verina grants an additional 20% ATK and a Cheat Death ability preventing one death every 10 minutes. She's universal, flexible, takes little field time and outstanding in every team.
The Shorekeeper is incredibly flexible thanks to her generic buffs, lingering Outro amplification and relatively low field time requirements after her first rotation. Because of this, she can be played as a support in most team compositions to great effect.
Don't use the damage output calculations as an indication on who is worth pulling or investing as those are just simulations and in day-to-day gameplay there's a lot variables and also the skill of the player is important - if you can't consistently perform the character's rotation, their damage will suffer.
As usual, don't compare the numbers between characters - especially between Main DPS and Hybrids as they fulfill different roles in the team.
Additional information
The numbers below show the character's DPS (Damage Per Second) and DMG (total damage done). 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. Listed character calculations are done without buffs or any damage contribution from teammates (full solo). They only include what the character, their Weapon, Echo and gear are capable of during their ideal Burst or Concerto rotation when starting with their Intro and Resonance Liberation available.
Do note that DPS and DMG aren’t perfect metrics for a character’s individual value and should be taken with a grain of salt.Anything pertaining a character’s relevance in the meta is addressed in our Review and Tier List, which the numbers below shouldn’t be used for as an end-all-be-all to. Instead, DPS and DMG are good metrics for a character’s sequence value and comparison between an individual character’s different rotations. We recommend using those metrics for such purposes.
