Playstyle
Changli’s kit defines her as a highly flexible sub-DPS and enabler, excelling in team synergy through her unique mechanics. She thrives in multi-DPS compositions, seamlessly integrating into various team structures.
What truly sets Changli apart is her unparalleled cooperation potential—her skills are designed for smooth team rotations without disrupting the flow of other characters. Unlike most characters who experience downtime between abilities, Changli’s 12-second True Sight buff ensures that her rotation progress is never lost, allowing for consistent cycle continuation.
Her Resonance Skill and Enhanced Heavy Attack provide strong AoE coverage, making her effective in both single-target and multi-target scenarios. Additionally, her co-op efficiency reduces time spent on-field, helping to optimize overall team DPS.
Is Changli still worth pulling?
First of all, you can just pull for a character that you love in Wuwa, so if you like the animation or Changli in the plot, just pull for her.
While her personal damage output isn’t as high as dedicated main DPS units, her true strength lies in her ability to enhance team rotations and provide exceptional flexibility in combat strategies. Changli is an ideal pick for players looking to maximize team efficiency and smoothly integrate multiple DPS units into a single composition.

Skill Priority
Changli’s skill priority should focus on optimizing her team synergy and sub-DPS capabilities. To optimize her performance, it’s recommended that upgrades be prioritized in this order: Resonance Skill > Forte Circuit > Resonance Liberation > Normal Attack > Intro Skill.
Changli’s Skill is the core of her kit, ensuring her Insight buff remains active and allowing for seamless rotations. Forte Circuit and Liberation are the keys to dealing damage and Normal Attack can also help Changli enter True Sight state.
Weapon Choices
1. Best Option
Blazing Brilliance
|
Rarity |
Base TAK |
CRIT DMG |
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
588 |
48.6% |
ATK increased by 12% / 15% / 18% / 21% 24%.
The wielder gains 1 stack of Searing Feather upon dealing damage, which can be triggered once every 0.5s, and gains 5 stacks of the same effect upon casting Resonance Skill.
Each stack of Searing Feather gives 4% / 5% / 6% / 7% / 8% additional Resonance Skill DMG Bonus for up to 14 stacks. After reaching the max stacks, all stacks will be removed in 12s.
Changli's signature weapon is exceptional for her and can also be utilized by any sword-wielding damage dealers who rely heavily on Resonance Skill damage. It provides a substantial main stat boost in CRIT DMG%, ensuring strong scaling potential. Additionally, it grants a permanent 12% ATK% increase and can amplify Resonance Skill damage by up to 56%.
2. Great Alternatives
Emerald of Genesis
|
Rarity |
Base TAK |
CRIT Rate |
|
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
588 |
24.3% |
This weapon is great for Changli, who needs Energy Regen (ER). Its passive provides an additional 12.8% / 16% / 19.2% / 22.4% / 25.6% ER. When you cast a Resonance Skill, it increases her attack by 6% / 7.5% / 9% / 10.5% / 12%, and this effect can stack up to two times. The boost lasts for 10 seconds.
3. F2P Option
Guardian Sword

⭐⭐⭐ |
300 |
30.4% |
Resonance Skill DMG Bonus is increased by 12% / 15% / 18% / 21% / 24%.
This is a 3-star sword that serves as a solid F2P option for Changli, as Changli's most damage comes from her Resonance Skill.
However, veteran players likely already have Emerald of Genesis, so it's still recommended to use that in the absence of a signature weapon.
Best Echo Sets & Stats
1. Echo Sets
Molten Rift
2-Pc: Fusion DMG + 10%.
5-Pc: Fusion DMG + 30% for 15s after releasing Resonance Skill.
There are a lot of new Echoes introduced in Wuwa, but the old one Molten Rift would be the best echo for Changli currently. This echo set will increase 40% Fusion DMG, which can build Changli into a strong main DPS in the team.
Active Echo
Inferno Rider / Nightmare: Inferno Rider
The normal version will buff Changli's Basic Attack while the Nightmare version will buff Changli's Resonance Skill. Both of them will massively increase Changli's Fusion DMG.

Recommended Sequences
Sequence 1
Effect: Resonance Skill and Heavy Attack from her Forte Circuit deal 10% more damage and gain resistance to Interruption.
Evaluation: Minimal damage increase. The Interruption resistance is useful, but swap canceling can achieve the same result. It's not worth pulling unless aiming for higher sequences.
Sequence 2
Effect: +25% Crit Rate for 8 seconds when gaining Forte Circuit stacks.
Evaluation: Provides an 18% damage increase over S0 and makes Changli easier to build. However, it costs a significant amount of Astrites. There are reruns of other strong characters like Shorekeeper and Camellya in Wuwa 2.2, so it might be better to save for that instead. Best stopping point for F2P or low spenders.
Sequence 3
Effect: Resonance Liberation deals 80% more damage.
Evaluation: Only a 9% overall damage increase, which is underwhelming. Going for S2 + R1 (Signature Weapon at R1) is a better investment.
Sequence 4
Effect: After activating Changli’s Intro Skill, the entire team gains +20% ATK for 30 seconds.
Evaluation: Provides a 10% personal damage increase for Changli while benefiting secondary DPS characters as well. Decent for dual DPS teams, but overall not as cost-effective as S2. If you reach S4, it’s better to commit to S6.
Sequence 5
Effect: Forte Circuit’s attack multiplier increases by 50%, and its damage increases by 50%.
Evaluation: A huge 27% damage boost, making it a very solid upgrade. One of her best sequences before S6.
Sequence 6
Effect: Resonance Liberation, Resonance Skill, and Forte Circuit ignore 40% of enemy DEF.
Evaluation: A massive 39% damage increase over S5, doubling Changli’s damage compared to S0. Her best sequence, but requires a fortune to obtain.
Recommendation: S6 is her strongest sequence. If you plan to invest heavily, go all-in for S6 rather than stopping at intermediate sequences.
Recommended Teams
Changli can be played in several ways. She can be a pure hypercarry. Alternatively, she can be used as a quick swap DPS. She also has supportive capabilities through her Outro skill and can deal solid burst damage with her abilities, without needing much field time.
1. Quick Swap Team: Changli + Brant + Sanhua / Encore / Xiangli Yao / Rover
This is a team with 3 DPS, the new character in Wuwa 2.1 Brant is a great partner for Changli in the quick swap team. Brant triggers Fusion RES shred and fills downtime with off-field DMG during Changli’s cooldowns.
The compositions of 3 DPS can greatly enhance the team's DPS damage potential. If you worry about the team's survivability, you can also use Verina to replace the third DPS.
2. Hypercarry Team: Changli + Zhezhi + Verina / Shorekeeper
When Changli is the Main DPS, aim to use her Resonance Liberation frequently. This instantly grants her 4 Forte stacks, enabling her to use her enhanced Heavy Attack right away.
In this setup, Zhezhi should be the Sub-DPS. She can boost Changli's enhanced Heavy Attack, which relies on Resonance Skill DMG. Plus, Zhezhi can perform Coordinated Attacks.
Shorekeeper and Verina's healing keeps everyone alive, while her Stellarealm and Outro Skill provide strong damage buffs for Changli.
3.F2P Team: Changli + Chixia + Baizhi
This team features two primary DPS units: Changli and Chiaxia. It also leverages Changli’s Outro Skill to boost Chixia’s damage. Both DPS characters will be supported by Baizhi’s healing and buffs.
When Changli is active, your objective is to consistently accumulate 4 Forte stacks to maximize the damage output of her enhanced Heavy Attack.
Conclusion
Changli is an exceptionally agile character who thrives in both quick-swap and sustained DPS roles, making her one of the most flexible units in Wuthering Waves.
With her powerful Resonance Abilities, she excels at both burst damage and fluid team rotations, and Changli is the bread and butter character for Brant, if you want to pull for Brant in the Wuwa 2.1, don't miss out on Changli.
If you’re looking to maximize Changli’s performance, unlocking her key Sequences or equipping her with the signature weapon can drastically improve her damage output.
