Jinhsi's best build in Wuthering Waves – weapons, echoes and team compositions – Destructoid

As expected from the Jinzhou Magistrate, Jinhsi is by far the best Spectro DPS in The howling wavesa title she earned through her ability to deal massive damage by performing her Resonance Release and Resonance Skill variants in her Incarnation and Ordination states.

But while she can wield the power of a sentinel, she'll still need a specific build if you want to maximize her already high damage. Here's the best Jinhsi build Howling waves and A few teammates will certainly allow her to give her best.

The best weapons for Jinhsi

As with most 5-star resonators, the best weapon for Jinhsi in The howling waves it's his signature Harvest ages. Handcrafted for her, the weapon will provide a 12% increase in Spectro DMG bonus and a 24.3% increase in critical rate, the latter once at level 90. Ages of Harvest will also allow Jinhsi to trigger its Ageless Marking and Ethereal Endowment effects after performing its Introduction and Resonance skills respectively. Both effects will give him a 24% Resonance Skill DMG bonus and last for 12 seconds. All values ​​here are tied to the Tier 1 weapon.

If you're considering skipping his weapon to save resources for Changli, Jiyan's Green summit will be my primary choice. When equipped, the weapon will provide Jinhsi with a 12% increase to her Spectro DMG and increase her Heavy Attack DMG bonus by 24% after performing both her introductory skill and her release. The weapon will also provide a total of 48.6% Crit DMG at level 90.

For F2P players, the 5-star Lustrous Razor is my top pick due to its massive ATK boost. You can get the weapon for free by selecting it as your 5-star weapon supply chest choice. You can find out how to get the supply chest in our How to Get All Free 5 and 4-Star Weapons in The howling waves guide.

Best 4 Star Weapons

The best 4-star weapon for Jinhsi is the Battle Pass exclusive Autumn Traceas the broadblade will offer a similar crit rate compared to our top two 5-star picks. The 4-star also fits his playstyle well by allowing him to get an ATK boost of up to 20% after performing basic and heavy attacks. If you don't plan on getting the Battle Pass, my top pick would be the Helios Cleaver.

To recap, here's a look at the best weapons for Jinhsi in WuWaas well as how to get them:

Top 5 Weapons (in order) Sub-statistics Reasons why How to have
1. Harvest Ages (BiS) Critical Rate Huge boost to skill and Spectro DMG. Massive increase to critical rate. Featured Gacha
2. Green Summit Critical damage Increases critical DMG and resonance DMG. Featured Gacha
3. Shiny Razor (Best F2P) ATK Massive ATK increase. Gacha / Free via 5 Star Weapon Supply Chest
4. Autumn Trace Critical Rate Massive increase in critical rate and big increase in ATK. Premium Battle Pass
5. The Cleaver of Helios ATK Big increase in ATK Gacha

The best sonata and echoes for Jinhsi

The best sonata for Jinhsi is a 5-echo sonata Celestial light. The Sonata will grant her a permanent 10% bonus to Spectro DMG. Jinhsi will also be able to increase the bonus by 30% for 15 seconds after performing her Resonance skill.

True to the history of the game, Jue is by far the best primary Echo for Jinhsi. The reason for this is its ability to increase his Resonance skill damage by 16% and deal 16% Spectro damage per second to all targets hit by him for a total of 15 seconds. Since the Echo's off-field attacks deal Resonance skill damage, they can be boosted by passives. If you still haven't acquired Jue, the Mourning Aix will be my primary choice. For the remaining Echoes, go for two Elite Echoes and two Common Echoes for a 4-3-3-1-1 composition.

Best stats and sub-stats

As seen above, I recommend using Crit Rate for our main Echo (only use Crit Rate if you've managed to reach at least 60% without it). For other choices, go for Spectro DMG and ATK bonus pairs. In terms of sub-stats, prioritize the items below in that exact order.

  • Critical Rate > Critical DMG > ATK > Resonance Skill DMG Bonus

Best teams for Jinhsi

Since the foundation of her set and main source of damage lies in her Resonance skills, the best team for Jinhsi will have her as the main DPS, Verina as the healer, and Taoqi as the support.

While Taoqi won't provide the team with off-field damage, his massive 38% DMG Deepen Outro Resonance skill buff will allow you to take Jinhsi's damage to the sky. Using Yinlin can also work for those looking to boost Jinhsi release while adding a substantial amount of off-field DMG to the mix. Verina, on the other hand, will be able to constantly buff and heal the party while increasing their already high energy gathering output. If you don't have it, Baizhi will be my main choice for the healer position.

For those looking for a more offensive approach, using a Resonance Chain 4 Spectro Rover as a healer can also work, as they will be able to heal large amounts by performing their Resonance Release.
