Wuthering Waves Yangyang Combat Rotation and Skill Guide

To play Yangyang effectively in Wuthering Waves, use her on-field time to gather three Feather stacks, discharge them with an aerial plunge to group enemies, and swap out immediately once her Concerto gauge is full. Her primary combat role is an Aero sub-DPS and support who clusters scattered mobs and batteries Resonance Energy for your next character via her Outro Skill.

How to Stack Feathers and Trigger the Vacuum Plunge

Yangyang’s crowd-control utility centers on her Forte gauge, which tracks up to three Feather stacks. Standard basic attacks do not group targets on their own; grouping occurs only when you consume a full Feather gauge through her enhanced aerial plunge.

You build Feather stacks through three actions:

• Intro Skill: Grants an initial Feather upon swapping in with an active switch skill.
• Resonance Skill: Delivers Aero slashes that generate Feather stacks and Concerto energy.
• Basic Attack Sequences: Completing normal ground attack chains supplies remaining Feathers.

Once you hold three Feathers, Yangyang’s heavy attack becomes an upward launching strike that propels her into the air. From airborne status, execute her plunging attack immediately. This crash creates a localized vacuum that pulls lightweight and medium targets directly to the point of impact. If enemies are already staggered, you can weave standard mid-air slashes before plunging, but against aggressive or unstaggered elites, trigger the plunge without delay to avoid getting hit.

Resonance Liberation Placement and Crowd Control

Yangyang’s Resonance Liberation launches a traveling cyclone that expands and anchors in place, dealing sustained Aero damage while vacuuming lightweight hostile units toward its center.

Large boss enemies remain mostly unaffected by the pull effect, making the ultimate most valuable in multi-target waves and against dispersed ranged foes. Always aim your camera in the direction you want the vortex to travel before casting. Deploying the Liberation immediately after her Forte plunging attack ensures enemies pulled by the plunge are caught within the expanding cyclone before they can recover or scatter.

Concerto Generation and Outro Skill Energy Transfer

Do not leave Yangyang on the field for sustained normal attacks once her abilities have been cast. Her primary team contribution is her Outro Skill, which restores flat Resonance Energy over time to whichever Resonator takes the field after her.

Swapping before her Concerto gauge is completely full forfeits the Outro Skill entirely, depriving your main damage dealer of the energy needed for their own Liberation.

Check the circular Concerto icon beside Yangyang’s health bar. As soon as the gauge fills, switch characters immediately.

Standard Combat Rotation Sequence

A standard Yangyang rotation takes roughly four to six seconds. Execute these actions in order to group targets and transfer energy:

1. Trigger Intro Skill: Enter the field through a standard swap trigger to deal Aero damage and secure your first Feather.
2. Cast Resonance Skill: Activate her skill on landing to deal burst damage and complete your Feather requirement.
3. Launch Heavy to Plunge: Cast the enhanced heavy attack to lift airborne, then plunge downward to pull surrounding enemies into the impact point.
4. Cast Resonance Liberation: Aim and release her cyclone into the clustered targets to hold them in place.
5. Trigger Outro Skill Switch: Swap directly to your main damage dealer the moment the Concerto gauge is full to transfer the flat Resonance Energy restoration.
