Best Youhu build in Wuthering Waves: Best weapons, echoes, and team compositions

A resonator who takes faith in the RNG to a whole new level, Youhu shines through her ability to provide good amounts of healing and a broken Coordinated Attack Damage buff that feels tailor-made for sub-DPSs like Zhezhi and Yinlin. But as she won't be able to excel from the get-go like the game's top healers — aka Verina and Shorekeeper — knowing how to build her will be just as vital as mastering her unique mechanics.

Best Youhu teams in Wuthering Waves Best weapons for Youhu in Wuthering Waves The best weapon for Youhu in Wuthering Waves is the 5-star Abyss Surges, which offers a massive amount of attack and a minimal but still great 12% boost in Energy Regen. Among the 4-stars, Marcato will then be my main pick. The reason? The weapon's Energy Regen boost (51.8%) and Concerto energy passive (8 to 16 per 20-second intervals) will allow you to enable Youhu's Outro Skill at record time.

Main stat-wise, prioritize Healing Bonus for your main echo while using pairs of Energy Regen and ATK, as her healing will scale off the latter. If you want to get the most out of her DMG, go with Crit Rate for your main echo. For substats, focus on ATK, Energy Regen, and, if needed, CRIT Rate/DMG. Are her Resonance Sequence nodes a must? Image by Destructoid As her Sequence Nodes will only impact her overall DMG, none of them will be when looking to use Youhu in her main role. As we mentioned above, however, her second, fourth, and sixth sequences can indeed make investing in her DMG worthwhile, although you should not expect anything groundbreaking. You can check out an overview of all of Youhu's sequence node effects below: Waterside Respite: After performing a Lucky Draw, Youhu has a 10% chance of becoming immune to damage/interruption for five seconds. Sunroom Siesta: The DMG bonus provided by Antithesis, Triplet, and Perfect Rhyme will be doubled. Restless Sleep: Youhu's attack will be increased by 20%. Frosted Lullaby: Upon each use, Scroll Divination will have a 20% chance of being available straight away (skipping its cooldown). Dreamland Meander: Performing her Intro Skill will boost Youhu's Crit Rate by 15% for 14 seconds. Slumber Evermore: Youhu will receive one Sky Blue stack after each Antique Appraisal (up to four stacks). Each stack will last for seven seconds and boost her CRIT DMG by 15%. Best Youhu teams in Wuthering Waves Image by Destructoid Although Youhu can fit pretty much any team in Wuthering Waves thanks to her role as a healer, her 100% coordinated attack buff makes her shine the most when in teams featuring sub-DPSs like Zhezhi and Yinlin. In the DPS spot, Jinhsi's ability to self-buff no matter your chosen sub-DPS and enable quick rotations makes her my main pick. Carlotta and Xiangli Yao can also be matches made in heaven for our sub-DPSs, as they will be able to make full use of their respective Outro Skill buffs. To recap, here are the best teams for Youhu, as well as the most F2P-friendly composition for her if you lack any of the 5-star duos above: Jinhsi + Zhezhi (Yinlin can also work) + Youhu: The best and most versatile Youhu team. As we mentioned above, this team has two sub-DPS in Zhezhi and Yinlin capable of making full use of her buff for massive DMG. Although unable to make full use of our sub-DPS's buffs, Jinshi will then stand on her own by getting more than enough from her Eras in Unity passive. Carlotta + Zhezhi + Youhu: The Carlotta variant of our best Yuanhu team. Has in Zhezhi the best overall support for the Montelli family's problem solver via her massive Resonance Skill and Glacio DMG buffs. Xiangli Yao/Calcharo + Yinlin + Youhu: Variants of the game's best Electric team, having in Xiangli Yao and Calcharo two DPSs capable of making full use of Yinlin buffs.

A resonator who takes faith in the RNG to a whole new level, Youhu shines through her ability to provide good amounts of healing and a broken Coordinated Attack Damage buff that feels tailor-made for sub-DPSs like Zhezhi and Yinlin.

But as she won't be able to excel from the get-go like the game's top healers — aka Verina and Shorekeeper — knowing how to build her will be just as vital as mastering her unique mechanics. Here's the best Youhu build in Wuthering Waves.

Best weapons for Youhu in Wuthering Waves

The best weapon for Youhu in Wuthering Waves is the 5-star Abyss Surges, which offers a massive amount of attack and a minimal but still great 12% boost in Energy Regen.

Jiyan + Mortefi + Youhu: The most F2P-friendly team for Youhu via its two 4-stars. Once in the field, she will offer a great buff for Mortefi, who is, in turn, the only support capable of awakening Jiyan's true might.
