Jinhsi’s mentor and loyal counselor, Changli arrived to challenge Encore for the spot of the best Fusion DPS in Wuthering Waves, the latter given her ability to self-buff and deal massive Resonance Skill DMG through both her True Sight enhanced attacks and by performing Flaming Sacrifice.
As you can imagine, however, bringing the best in her will demand a very specific build. To help you envelop the battlefield in flames, here are the best build and teams for Changli in Wuthering Waves.

The best weapons for Changli
The best weapon for Changli in Wuthering Waves is her signature Blazing Brilliance. Hand-made for her, the sword will offer a good amount of attack (485) and a massive 40.1% Crit DMG boost while at level 90. Apart from its permanent 12% ATK boost, the weapon will also allow Changli to gather Searing Feather stacks after dealing damage and performing her Skill. Each stack will increase her Resonance Skill DMG by 4% at Rank 1 (can stack up to 15 times). Upon reaching the maximum number of stacks, they will be cleared and reset.
If her signature is not an option for you, the best pick for Changli is Emerald of Genesis. Featuring a Crit Rate substat, the weapon —which is also her best F2P option— will provide her with a 12.8% Energy Regen boost and the ability to get +20% ATK by performing her Resonance Skill twice.
How to get Emerald of Genesis for free
You can get Emerald of Genesis for free in WuWa by selecting it as your 5-star Weapon Supply Chest pick. After reaching Union Level 45, you can claim your supply chest by heading to the Awakening Journey event page.
Best 4-star weapons for Changli
The best 4-star weapon for Changli in Wuthering Waves is the BP-exclusive Commando of Conviction. Although lacking a Crit substat, the weapon will offer a lot through its 413 base attack and 30.3% ATK substat at level 90. As an extra, the sword will also allow Changli to further boost her attack by 15% after performing her Resonance Skill.
Using Lumingloss can also work well, as the weapon will offer the same main and substat values as our top 4-star pick while also providing a 20% Basic Attack damage boost.
The best Sonata and echoes for Changli in Wuthering Waves
As the norm for Fusion-DPSs, the best Sonata for Changli will be a 5-piece Molten Rift. Offering a 10% Fusion DMG boost, the set will also allow Changli to increase its effect by 35% after performing Tripartite Flames (her Resonance Skill). I can’t overstate how good the latter is for her, as its 15-second uptime will allow you to have it active 100% of the time.
Echo-wise, I recommend that you go with the Inferno Rider as your main for its 12% Fusion and Basic ATK DMG boost. For the remaining echoes, go with two elites and two common ones in the standard 4-3-3-1-1 composition.
Best main and substats
To maximize her damage, go with Crit Rate for the Inferno Rider (go with DMG if using a CRIT Rate weapon), Fusion DMG for both Elites and ATK for the common echoes. Remember to prioritize Crit Rate and DMG substats so that you can reach the recommended +60% Crit Rate/150% DMG threshold. Try to also get a good amount of ER to increase her Resonance Liberation’s availability.
Best Changli teams in Wuthering Waves
As her best role is that of an on-field main DPS, the best team for Changli on Wuthering Waves will feature Verina as its healer and Taoqi as its main support. While Verina is the game’s premier healer/buffer, Taoqi gains the spot given her 38% Resonance Skill DMG buff.
Using Yinlin in Taoqi’s place can also work great, as she will offer massive amounts of off-the-field damage and a Resonance Liberation boost. Changli’s Outro Skill’s 25% Fusion and Liberation DMG boost also makes her a great fit for duo-DPS teams featuring either Encore or Chixia. To recap, here are the best teams for Changli in WuWa, as well as a F2P alternative:
- Changli + Verina/Baizhi + Taoqi (Offers high utility and overall damage)
- Changli + Verina/Baizhi + Yinlin (Best team-wide damage for a single main-DPS composition)
- Changli + Encore/Chixia + Verina/Taoqi (Best overall damage by a mile, especially if paired with Taoqi)
- Changli + Baizhi + Sanhua/Chixia (Good F2P alternative)
