Yinlin Overview
Yinlin is a 5-star Resonator specializing in Electro element. Yinlin has a definite role now as a Sub-DPS since she can be paired with more Main DPS Resonators such as Xiangli Yao, Jinhsi, Calcharo, and Encore.
Yinlin Gameplay and Playstyle
Yinlin specializes in mid-range combat and dealing Electro AoE damage to her targets using her puppets. Her playstyle includes attacking enemies with her Basic Attacks, Resonance Skill: Magnetic Roar, and Resonance Liberation: Thunder Wrath to apply Sinner’s Marks to them. In addition, she will also gain Judgment Points over time with her constant use of basic attacks and skills. Accumulating 100 Judgment Points will change her Heavy Attack into Chameleon Cipher which applies Punishment Marks to enemies inflicted with Sinner’s Marks. These debuffs will deal additional Electro damage to enemies whenever they are hit and present in the field.
Electro damage will continue even if Yinlin is switched out.
Skill Priority for Yinlin
Below are the skill priorities for Yinlin:
| Skill | Priority |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★★ (Top) |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★ (High) |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★★ (High) |
| Basic Attack | ★★★ (Mid) |
| Intro Skill | ★ (Lowest) |
Forte Circuit: Chameleon Cipher
Upgrading Yinlin’s Forte Circuit is your main priority since it will enhance her Heavy Attack and Judgment Strike ability. Especially, against enemies inflicted with Punishment Marks.
Resonance Liberation: Thundering Wrath
Your second priority upgrade is to improve Yinlin’s Resonance Liberation. This will boost her ultimate damage.
Resonance Skill: Magnetic Roar
In the same manner, upgrading Yinlin’s Resonance Skill is a high priority. This is to improve her skill damage since her playstyle involves using skills in her combo rotation.
Basic Attack
Improving Yinlin’s normal attack is also essential for her combo rotation. This is after you already upgraded her other important skills.
Intro Skill: Raging Storm
Lastly, Yinlin’s Intro is the least important skill to upgrade unless you nearly maxed out your other skills. Slowly enhance this skill to boost her AoE damage when switching to your other units.
Best Weapons for Yinlin
Below are the best Rectifier weapons for Yinlin.
1. Stringmaster
| Weapon | Base Stats |
Stringmaster (5★) |
+500 ATK (Level 90) +35.9% CRIT Rate (Level 90) |
| Weapon Effect (R1) | Increases the DMG Bonus by 12%. When dealing Resonance Skill DMG, increases ATK by 12%, stacking up to 2. This effect lasts for 5s. When the equipped Resonator is not on the field, increases their ATK by an additional 12%. |
Stringmaster, Yinlin's signature weapon, remains the finest of all 5-star Rectifier weapons in Wuthering Waves. This is due to its large amount of Crit Rate boost when the weapon’s level is maxed and easy-to-trigger bonus Attack Boost when dealing multiple Resonance Skills in battle.
2. Rime-Draped Sprouts
| Weapon | Base Stats |
Rime-Drapped Sprouts (5★) |
+500 ATK (Level 90) +72% CRIT DMG (Level 90) |
| Weapon Effect (R1) | Increase ATK by 12%. While the wielder is on the field, using Resonance Skill grants 12% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, stacking up to 3 times for 6s. At 3 stacks or above, casting Outro Skill consumes all stacks of this effect and grants the wielder 52% Basic Attack DMG Bonus for 27s, effective when the wielder is off the field. |
Zhezhi’s Best-in-Slot (BiS) 5-star weapon is an alternate option for Yinlin in terms of Crit Damage and Attack Boost. However, the Basic Attack Damage Bonus stacks (up to 3 stacks) will be challenging to maintain since Yinlin has a different optimal combo rotation (4-second combo rotation) from Zhezhi’s (7-second combo rotation). In addition, the uptime of the full Basic Attack Damage Bonus buff will be consumed abruptly once you switch to Yinlin’s Outro skill
during combat in Wuthering Waves.
3. Cosmic Ripples
| Weapon | Base Stats |
Cosmic Ripples (5★) |
+500 ATK (Level 90) +54% ATK (Level 90) |
| Weapon Effect (R1) | Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When hitting a target with Basic Attacks, increases Basic Attack DMG Bonus by 3.2%, stacking up to 5 time(s). This effect lasts for 8s and can be triggered 1 time(s) every 0.5s. |
Cosmic Ripples, the general 5-star Rectifier weapon, offers a high base Attack, Attack%, and a decent amount of Energy Regen. Having an emphasis on these main stats allows you to farm Echoes with different sub-stat bonuses that are also essential to Yinlin’s kit such as Basic Attack Damage Bonus. Unfortunately, this weapon competes with other 4-star weapons with maxed dupes and better sub-stats.
4. Augment
| Weapon | Base Stats |
Stringmaster |
+412 ATK (Level 90) +20.2% CRIT Rate (Level 90) |
| Weapon Effect (R5) | When Resonance Liberation is cast, increases the caster's ATK by 48%, lasting for 15s. |
Augment is the best 4-star Rectifier weapon option for Yinlin especially when maxed dupe. The weapon’s Crit Rate boost scales with her. She also gains an ATK boost when her Resonance Liberation is activated.
Best Echo Sets for Yinlin
Here are the best echo sets for Yinlin.
1. Moonlit Clouds Full Set
| Echo | Set Effects |
| Moonlit Clouds |
|
| Main Echo | |
Impermanence Heron |
|
Moonlit Clouds is for now the best Echo Set for Sub DPS characters like Yinlin, it can buff the Main DPS, thus maximizing the whole team's damage. With Impermanence Heron as your main echo, Yinlin can futher boosting the next character's damage by 12%, making her not only a damage dealer but also a strong supporter in the team.
2. Void Thunder Full Echo Set
| Echo | Set Effects |
| Void Thunder |
|
| Main Echo | |
Tempest Mephis (Option 1) |
|
|
Thundering Mephis (Option 2) |
|
Getting a full Void Thunder echo set for Yinlin will substantially boost her Electro DMG and echo DPS. With Tempest Mephis as your main echo, this offense-based set gives you the option to swap cancel in order to increase your burst damage. Furthermore, you can swap immediately after unleashing your final attack to get a 12% Electro DMG boost.
Thundering Mephis will increase her overall damage output as well as her Resonance Liberation ultimate, Thundering Wrath. However, it will take long for the buffs to stack up unlike Tempest Mephis and the echo requires to be on the field for an entire duration for it to be effective in battle. This is due to slower battle animations that will stretch your combo rotation.
3. Void Thunder and Lingering Tunes Echo Set
| Echo | Set Effects |
| Void Thunder |
|
| Lingering Tunes |
|
| Main Echo | |
Tempest Mephis (Option 1) |

1. Xiangli Yao Team (Premium Team)
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support |
|
Xiangli Yao (5★) |
Yinlin (5★) |
Shorekeeper (5★) |
Xiangli Yao is currently Yinlin’s Best-in-Slot (BiS) teammate. He maximizes her Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation buffs provided by her Outro skill, Strategist. Xiangli Yao’s team composition centers on burst damage potential that Yinlin can complement.
As for Shorekeeper, she provides buff through her Stellarealm and healing. In addition, Shorekeeper gives All-Type DMG Deepen buff to add with Yinlin’s Electro DMG boost. If you don’t have Shorekeeper, Verina or Baizhi is the next option as your team support.

▪ Echo set: Void Thunder(5)
▪ Main Echo position: Tempest Mephis or Thundering Mephis
▪ Recommended Energy Regen: 110 - 120%

2. Jinhsi Team (Premium Team)
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support |
|
Jinhsi (5★) |
Yinlin (5★) |
Verina (5★) |
As a Sub DPS, Yinlin provides Jinhsi access to her Punishment Marks which counts as Coordinated Attacks. This helps in stacking up Jinhsi’s Incandescence. Similarly, Yinlin gives a buff to Jinhsi’s Resonance Liberation DMG through her Outro Skill.
Verina’s role is to buff both Jinhsi and Yinlin while also providing sustain. What' more, Verina can also deal Coordinated Attacks, helping in stacking up Jinhsi’s Incandescence. Shorekeeper or Baizhi can also be the support role in this team if you do not want to use Verina.

▪ Echo set: Celestial Light(5)
▪ Main Echo position: Jué
▷ Recommended Echo Selection of Shorekeeper/Verina/Baizhi in this team:

3. Calcharo Team (Premium Team)
| Main DPS | Sub DPS | Support |
|---|---|---|
|
Calcharo (5★) |
Yinlin (5★) |
Shorekeeper (5★) |
Yinlin’s role as Sub-DPS for Calcharo is similar to Xiangli Yao but the team dynamic is different. If Xiangli Yao is centered on burst damage buildup, a Calcharo is focused on skill swapping instead. Yinlin deals off-field damage and Electro Damage buffs to Calcharo. She also covers Calcharo’s AoE damage limitations with her Judgment Bolt attacks.
Shorekeeper provides the buffs for both with healing. If you don’t have Shorekeeper, Verina or Baizhi is the next option as your team support.

4. Encore Team (F2P Team)

|
Encore (5★) |
Yinlin (5★) |
Verina (5★) |
Encore is another main damage dealer teammate that Yinlin can complement. Both deal damage from a distance while dealing off-field damage. A Quick Swap team consisting of both characters is convenient to play.
Verina provides both Encore and Yinlin access to offensive and defensive buffs paired with her healing. Additionally, her combo rotations are short and can be relatively easy to execute. This leaves more time for both Encore and Yinlin to execute their combo rotations. If you don’t want to use Verina, Shorekeeper or Baizhi is the next option as your team support.
▷ Recommended Echo Selection of Encore in this team:
▪ Echo set: Molten Rift(5)
▪ Main Echo position: Inferno Rider
▷ Recommended Echo Selection of Shorekeeper/Verina/Baizhi in this team:
▪ Echo set: Rejuvenating Glow (5)

Rover as your main DPS focuses on Basic Attacks while building his/her Dark Surge state. In addition, both Rover and Yinlin are decent as a Quick Swap team.
Verina’s role in this team is similar to Encore. If you don’t have Verina, you pick Baizhi as your temporary sustain.
▷ Recommended Echo Selection of Rover in this team:
▪ Echo set: Sun-sinking Eclipse (5)
▪ Main Echo position: Dreamless
▷ Recommended Echo Selection of Verina/Baizhi in this team:
▪ Echo set: Rejuvenating Glow (5)

Is Yinlin Still Worth Pulling?
This Wuthering Waves Yinlin Build guide emphasized her role as an essential Sub DPS especially to your Electro DPS team. Since the release of many Main DPS Resonators, particularly Xiangli Yao and Jinhsi, Yinlin's function as a Sub DPS has been more defined and is no longer confined to Calcharo. Furthermore, she can perform burst AoE damage when off the field. She can also assist in removing weak opponents when clearing the Tower of Adversity.
With more new characters joining our roster, Yinlin has more synergy options she can unlock in battle!
