Wuthering Waves Yinlin Build Guide
Yinlin is a skilled Patroller and powerful Natural Resonator. After being suspended from her duties at the Public Security Bureau, she must now pursue hidden evils in secrecy.
Best Echo Sets for Yinlin
Yinlin's kit features coordinated attacks that deal non-negligible damage. With that in mind, the new Empyrean Anthem is now her best-in-slot Sonata Effect.
Before arriving in Rinascita, you should build Yinlin as a support for another Electro unit.
If you're missing a DPS unit and only have Yinlin, Void Thunder is going to be your go-to Sonata Effect.
Yinlin's Best Primary Echo
Nightmare: Tempest Mephis
Increases the Coordinated Attack DMG of Yinlin by a lot while buffing her Electro DMG and Resonance Skill DMG. Perfect for Yinlin as an Electro Sub-DPS with Coordinated Attacks.
Impermanence Heron
Restores Yinlin's Resonance Energy so she can cast her Ultimate more. Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Yinlin.
Tempest Mephis
The normal version of the best-in-slot echo for Yinlin. It won't have the Empyrean Anthem sonata effect so you're stuck with Void Thunder. Only use this if you're not in Rinascita yet!
