Youhu is a versatile 4-star character inWuthering Waves, capable of fulfilling both the healer and sub-DPS roles, making her a flexible choice for a variety of team compositions. Her playstyle revolves around gathering Antiques via RNG mechanics and strategically locking them in place to maximize benefits, all while dealing consistent Glacio DMG. With the ability to heal the entire team and boost her own damage, she fits seamlessly into teams that need sustain or a hybrid DPS option. Her Resonance Forte allows players to unlock multiple buffs by matching Antiques, which adds depth to her gameplay, rewarding thoughtful decision-making and well-timed basic attacks.
Any team in need of a healer or sub-DPS inWuthering Wavescan essentially benefit from Youhu, especially if the team includes characters that rely on coordinated ATK buffs, such as Mortefi, Yuanwu, Zhezhi, or Yinlin. Youhu’s Outro Skill complements these characters perfectly by boosting the coordinated attack DMG by 100% for an extended duration. As such, as long as players know how to play Youhu, she can be a formidable sustain or sub-DPS for many teams, with the below teams being additionally synergetic with her.
Youhu + Zhezhi + Jinhsi
Undoubtedly, Zhezhi is one of the most synergistic units for Youhu, as she is one of the few characters who can fully capitalize on Youhu’s Outro Skill coordinated attack buff. On the flip side, Zhezhi is anexcellent teammate for Jinhsi, thanks to her coordinated attacks, which help build up Jinhsi’s Incandescence stacks more quickly. This trio forms a team with strong synergy and high damage potential. It’s important to note that since Youhu herself doesn’t have coordinated attacks, having two Glacio element units on the team doesn’t pose a problem for stack accumulation, making this combination both viable and efficient.
For players who prefer to have Youhu on the field more often, Yuanwu can be a more F2P-friendly alternative to Zhezhi. Yuanwu still ensures that Jinhsi’s stacks accumulate quickly while allowing Youhu to boost Yuanwu’s damage. This setup is easier to maintain and provides solid synergy, particularly for those focusing on maximizing Youhu’s on-field presence while maintaining strong support for the team’s overall damage output.
Youhu + Yinlin + Xiangli Yao
Another excellent ally who can make full use of coordinated attack damage is Yinlin. For players seeking highly synergistic team members, Xiangli Yao is one of the best contenders, as both are Electro characters. Additionally, Yinlin’s Outro Skill further buffs Xiangli Yao’s Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG, making this duo a key part of one of the most ideal and synergistic trios available. This setup doesn’t require heavy investment either, especially considering Xiangli Yao has been obtainable as astrong 5-star characterfor free.
Players fortunate enough to have already obtainedYinlin should definitely try out this team composition, especially for challenging content like the Tower of Adversity, where eliminating enemies quickly is crucial, and maximizing DPS in a short period is highly valued. This trio, with its balance of burst damage, coordinated attacks, and a healer that can also deal significant DMG, can excel in situations that demand fast and efficient damage output against challenging enemies.
Youhu + Mortefi + Jiyan
Jiyan and Mortefi were two of the most sought-after units at the launch ofWuthering Waves, with Jiyan debuting as the first limited main DPS unit. Although his popularity may have waned over time due to the growing roster, Jiyan remains a formidable DPS unit, especially when paired with Mortefi, who continues to be his best sub-DPS ally. Mortefi excels not only in providing coordinated attacks—ideal for fast attackers like Jiyan—but also in boosting overall damage output even when he’s not the active character on the field. Moreover, Mortefi’s Outro Skill enhances heavy attacks, which aligns perfectly with Jiyan’s Teal Dragon state during Resonance Liberation, where all his attacks become heavy attacks.When built correctly, Mortefisignificantly boosts Jiyan’s overall damage, making him an indispensable ally.
With Youhu’s addition to the roster, this synergy is further amplified. She can buff Mortefi, increasing his damage output while also providing much-needed sustain to the team. This results in a well-balanced composition where switching to the right character at the right time becomes crucial for maximizing damage and survivability. The dynamic between Jiyan as the main DPS, Mortefi as the sub-DPS and buffer, and Youhu as the healer, sub-DPS, and buffer, offers players a highly rewarding playstyle, especially for those who enjoy strategic team rotationswith a focus on outro skills.
