The best Lingyang build in Wuthering Waves – weapons, echoes and team compositions – Destructoid

While not an optimal choice against enemies that cannot be juggled or cannot stay within its range while in the air, Lingyang's ability to deal high damage while staying mobile earned him the title of best primary DPS Glacio in 2017. Howling Waves.

But as you can imagine, he needs the right build and the right team to put in a performance worthy of his fame. To help you show off the full power of the Lion Dance Troupe, here is the best version of Lingyang Howling Waves.

The best weapon for Lingyang in Wuthering Waves

As you can imagine, the best weapon for Lingyang is the 5 star. Abysmal surges. The only 5-star glove in the game, the weapon will increase its energy regeneration by 12.8% – and therefore the availability of its resonance release buffs. Abyss Surges will also provide him with a 10% base attack DMG bonus increase after hitting targets with his Resonance skill, and vice versa. DMG buffs will last eight seconds and are independent. All values ​​here are tied to the Tier 1 weapon.

Best 4-star and F2P weapons for Lingyang

The best 4-star weapon for Lingyang is the Battle Pass exclusive Stonard. The weapon lands the spot thanks to its Crit Rate substat. Stonard will also provide him with an 18% Resonance Release DMG boost after performing his skill (R1). I know the latter won't help much, but it's better than nothing.

If you don't plan on getting the BP, the best 4-star choice for Lingyang is Hollow Mirage. The weapon has a high attack value (412 plus a substat of 30.3% ATK) and will allow Lingyang to gain a 9% ATK and DEF buff after performing its release by resonance. Once active, the value of the buff will decrease by 3% with each hit received by it. To recap, here are the best weapons for Lingyang, as well as the best F2P pick for him as an extra:

Best sonatas and echoes for Lingyang

The best sonata for Lingyang is a 5 Echo Frostbite. The Sonata appears handmade for him and will provide a 10% Glacio DMG bonus. You will also be able to increase the buff by a total of 30% by performing basic and heavy attacks. On the echo side, Myriad of lampylumen is my primary choice for the primary slot given its ability to provide up to a 12% increase in Glacio and Resonance Skill DMG. For the remaining places. I recommend going for two Elites and two Common echoes.

Best stats and sub-stats

I recommend using Crit Rate as the primary stat for the Lampylumen Myriad. This is a must, as Lingyang requires you to increase the stat to at least 50%. For the remaining Echoes, go for two pairs of Resonance DMG Bonus (in this case Glacio) and ATK. For substats, prioritize critical rate, critical damage, ATK, and base attack damage bonus, in that order.

Best teams for Lingyang in Wuthering Waves

The best team for Lingyang in Howling Waves has him as main DPS and Sanhua as main support/sub-DPS. Sanhua is a game-changer for Lingyang, as its 38% base attack Deepen DMG buff shifts its damage to a whole new plane. If you don't have it, Mortefi can replace it and get by given its ability to buff heavy attacks and deal DMG off the field.

For the remaining place in the composition, we will choose either Baizhi or Verina as a healer. Keep in mind that Verina is by far the best among them, as she will provide much more healing while also offering more buffs. She can also revive her teammates when she is at RS0.
