Wuthering Waves Youhu Build Guide
A voluble and whimsical antique appraiser.
Known for creating limericks on the spot, she presents her appraisals with flair and precision. She sets up a stall on the street, ensuring antiques find their way to those who truly cherish them.
Best Echo Sets for Youhu
Rejuvenating Glow is highly beneficial for Youhu as it provides increases ATK that also helps Youhu increase her general healing capabilities. We also slotted in Bell-Borne to add shielding to the team and improve survivability. You can also replace this with Fallacy of No Return, but you will have to give up a bit of comfort when fighting enemies.
This set is a good option for Youhu if her main role is a Glacio Sub-DPS. This will ensure faster cast times on her Resonance Liberation, and will further deepen the damage of the next Resonator when Youhu uses her outro skill.
This option is a good start if you are looking to utilize more of Youhu's offensive abilities without falling too short on her healing capability. In the long run, you can swap out Lingering tunes for Freezing Frost or Moonlit Clouds for Rejuvenating Glow depending on your preference for her as a healer or damage dealer.
Youhu's Best Primary Echo
Bell-Borne Geochelone
The best main echo for Youhu considering it deals Glacio DMG and can shield Yohou and her allies. Bell-Borne can also have the Moonlit Clouds or Rejuvenating Glow Sonata Effects so it is quite economical to farm even in the early to mid-game. You may also switch the sonata effect depending on Youhu's role in your team: Moonlit Clouds for SubDPS or Rejuvenating Glow for Support.
Fallacy of No Return
The second best main Echo for Youhu, great for scaling her Energy Regen and ATK. ATK bonus is also applicable for the entire team, which makes her outro skill beneficial.
Impermanence Heron
A good alternative which also gives Youhu an Energy Regen bonus. Can grant the next Resonator an attack damage buff when Youhu performs her Outro Skill within 15 seconds after casting the Echo Skill.
