Our Wuthering Waves Yangyang best build guide shares the best Echo Set and Echo Loadout, weapons and team comps for Yangyang.
Yangyang is an ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aero Element user and a Sword wielder in Wuthering Waves, a Resonator whose character kit makes her a DPS or Sub DPS unit with Support potential, based on how you build her.
Yangyang's abilities, especially her Resonance Skill, Breezy Domain, and Resonance Liberation, Wind Spirals, make her a great crowd control unit in the game. You can use her to farm mobs for high-rarity Echoes, materials, and other items.
All those things with the fact that Yangyang is one of the many free characters in Wuthering Waves that you can unlock for free, we know many of you will be main'ing her or building team based around her.
In the wake of that, we are here with our Yangyang best build guide, which shares the best Echo Sets, Echo Loadout, Stat Focus, weapons, and team comps for Yanyang in Wuthering Waves.
The Best Build For Yangyang
Our best Yangyang build focuses on improving Yangyang's Aero DMG while trying to balance out other major stats like CRIT Rate%, CRIT DMG%, ATK% and ER%.
The build also recommends aiming for sub-stats like the Resonance Skill DMG Bonus and Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus as they further help effectively use Yangyang's abilities.
With that said, let us check out how you can attain the most optimal build with Yangyang in Wuthering Waves.
Best Echo Sets & Echo Loadout For Yangyang
The best Echo Set for Yangyang in Wuthering Waves is the Sierra Gale set, as its Sonata Effects increase the Aero DMG by 10% and by an additional 30% when you use an Intro Skill of the character equipping the set.
With the help of the above set, as soon as you switch to Yangyang when her Intro Skill, Cerulian Song, is ready, you get a massive boost in Aero DMG.
Apart from the said Echo Set, the universal set, Moonlit Clouds, is also a great option for Yangyang, granted you plan on using her as a Sub DPS or Support.
Why? The Moonlit Clouds set increases the ER% by 10%. Moreover, when Yangyang performs an Outro Skill, the next Resonator, probably your main DPS or whoever you switch to, gets an ATK boost of 22.5% for 15 seconds.
Lastly, in the traditional Genshin Impact way, if you lack good Echoes to complete any of the sets or want to focus on raw ATK% and Aero DMG%, you can combine two pieces of each set.
