Wuthering Waves: Jinshi Build Guide

Mortefi underwent significant changes compared to his tech test design. Initially, Mortefi featured prominent mutation features like a dragon tail and dragon scales on his arm and chest. However, this design choice was reverted to a more human-like model, resembling iconic male anime characters rather than a hybrid, sinister creat


Chixia is a 4-star Fusion Mutant Resonator and an especially friendly face the player meets at the very start of Wuthering Waves , and she provides some much-needed levity to an amnesiac Rover while navigating the beginning of the game. She automatically joins the party after the player reaches Jinzhou, making her a decent option for brand-new play


One of the most drastic redesigns in Wuthering Waves was applied to Awu, who is now known as Lingyang. During the tech test and CBT1, Lingyang was a fully mutated Resonator whose design drew inspiration from creatures like Pixiu in Chinese mythology. He sported white, tiger-like skin with feline facial features that complemented his quirky personality. However, prior to the global launch of Wuthering Waves , Awu underwent a transformation into Lingyang—a mostly human Resonator with the exception of a pair of feline e

Yinlin's character design has always been adored by Wuthering Waves fans. Since her introduction to the fandom, she has captured attention and excitement, with some considering her the most attractive Resonator in Solaris-3. However, following the tech test and CBT1, Yinlin's model underwent a revamp focusing on her face and outfit. Her new appearance better aligns with her master puppeteer persona, featuring an outfit that is less Gyaru—or girly—than her original att


One of the most impressive character revamps in Wuthering Waves’ post-technical test phase is that of Chixia. In the pre-release version, Chixia appeared as an ordinary Resonator without any distinct features or memorable attributes. Fans often referred to the original Chixia as a "normie" or the least appealing Resonator. Fortunately, the developers took note of these criticisms and completely redesigned Chixia from scratch. The new model of Chixia features a completely revamped personality, outfit, and facial appearance that better aligns with her role as one of the primary Resonators in the st


Lingyang is a Wuthering Waves character with a unique playstyle inspired by the traditional Chinese Lion Dance. He's a 5-star Glacio Resonator and a beloved member of Jinzhou's Lion Dance Troupe with the ability to automatically dodge attacks while in the Striding Lion state. However, he struggles a little as a DPS due to his single-target focus and his lack of HP and DEF compared to other 5-star characters, making him slightly frustrating to play. However, with time, effort, and the right build, Lingyang can really pay

Throughout its three pre-release phases—technical test, CBT1, and CBT2— Wuthering Waves Events Waves underwent significant changes to its gameplay and visuals. Among these revisions, the most notable involved the reimagining of popular Resonators and NPCs.

The revamp of Mortefi has been highly successful, reflecting fan feedback that showed disinterest in mutated Resonators, as seen with the backlash against Awu's Pixiu-inspired design (later renamed Lingya


Baizhi’s character design underwent gentle adjustments, primarily noticeable in changes to her eye and hair colors. Additionally, her outfit received a slight revamp, now featuring a dress with shorter shorts compared to her earlier technical test appearance. Initially, Baizhi’s tech test look lacked vibrancy, especially in her facial expressions, which didn't fully convey her personality. However, both the CBT2 and global launch versions have matured in design, reflecting Baizhi's supportive and kindhearted nature more accurat


With eighteen characters currently available to play in the game, Wuthering Waves already hosts a range of characters large enough to suit any player or playstyle. Alongside the characters already available, fans also know of one other character that will soon be available to play in-game, rounding the number to an impressive nineteen. These characters are known in-game as Resonators, and each comes with individual stories, backgrounds, and motivations to clear the world of masses of enemies that have spawned in the wake of a cataclysmic event Wuthering Waves refers to as the "Lame

If you missed out on Yinlin, there are still some nice alternatives to consider. Mortefi also fits nicely in a team with Jinshi and her kit does have nice synergy with his. Mortefi will buff her heavy attacks and since her heavy attack isn’t a trigger for any bigger moves, you’ll end up using it a lot to extend combos and keep enemies airborne for as long as possible. The only downside with using Mortefi is that he has a longer Resonance Liberation cooldown than most characters, so when you do switch him in and out, sometimes he might not have his Resonance Liberation available for use. Regardless, he is still a solid character to pair Jinshi with.
