Best Weapons To Use With Yuanwu
There are a few really nice weapon options for Yuanwu, the first of which will be a relatively easy 5-star weapon to obtain. TheAbyss Surges5-star is a solid choice for you to get into Yuanwu’s hands. These gauntlets willincrease Energy Regenby12.8%and when Yuanwu hits an enemy with hisResonance Skill,hisBasic Attackwillincrease by 10%. This effect will last for8 secondsand whenhitting enemieswith his Basic Attack, his Resonance Skill gains a10%bonusthat will also last for8 seconds. This is a solid option to verify that Yuanwu gets some good Energy Regen while also receiving overall good damage buffs on top of it all.
If you are still working on getting ahold of the 5-star weapon, you’re able to also go with theAmity Accord4-star gauntlets. These gauntlets will give a20% Resonance Liberation damage bonusfor15 secondswhen Yuanwu’sIntro Skillis used. These gauntlets also provide a really nice damage bonus due to scaling with a character’s defense. Even though they are relatively basic, Yuanwu’s naturally high defense will benefit greatly from these gauntlets, enabling him to hit harder than normal. While only a 4-star option, this is probably one of the best weapons you could use for Yuanwu and might even be a better choice over the 5-star option.
Another option for him will be theStonard4-star gauntlets. These will provide a nice damage boost to Yuanwu’s Resonance Liberation. When Yuanwu’sResonance Skill has beenusedhisResonance Liberationdamagereceives an18% damage bonusfor15 seconds. This is another simple weapon, but it provides a solid bonus to Yuanwu and will bring his Resonance Liberation damage to another level. Overall, this is just a nice little buffer weapon to use while waiting to get one of the stronger options available for Yuanwu.
Best Echoes To Use With Yuanwu
When thinking of what echoes to put on Yuanwu’s kit, you’ll have a couple of choices for the Sonata Effects the pair with him.Void Thunderis arguably the stronger choice, but you can useVoid Thunderpaired withMoonlit Cloudsas well. When using purely 5 Void Thunder echoes, you willincreaseYuanwu’sElectro Damage by 10%. When usingHeavy Attacksor hisResonance Skill, his Electro Damage will alsoincreaseby15%, which canstack 2 times, and will last for15 seconds. If you wish to use a more hybrid option, you can gain a10% Electro Damage boostwith2Void Thunder echoes andmixthose with2Moonlit Clouds echoes togain a 10% increaseto hisEnergy Regen.
For your primary echoes, you’ll want to useTempest MephisorThundering Mephis.These are both transformation echoes that will enable Yuanwu to channel the echo to deal Electro Damage. Tempest Mephis will increase Yuanwu’s Electro Damage by 12% and his Heavy Attack Damage by 12% for 15 seconds once it has used all attacks. Thundering Mephis will throw out multiple attacks and increase Electro Damage by 12% as well and Resonance Liberation Damage will increase by 12% for 15 seconds as well. Both options here are going to be your best bet on a primary echo for Yuanwu, as they are going to amp up his overall Electro Damage while also providing nice damage bonuses to other parts of his kit.

Best Teams To Use With Yuanwu
Yuanwu is one of several characters that won’t need to stay in battle for a long time. He can be built to have several playstyles to enhance how long he’s on the field, but you’ll generally want to keep his time there limited to deal more damage with a heavy hitter.Jinhsiis going to be a character that compliments his shorter field time with her longer requirements on the field. She’s a heavy hitter and can benefit from Yuanwu’s Thunder Wedge, which he can put down in fights. Yuanwu doesn’t buff other characters nearly as well as some others, but his persistent field damage after he’s been switched out will allow you to focus on dealing damage with Jinhsi as often as possible.
JianxinorYinlinalso work well with Yuanwu as another alternate dps character option. The only issue is that Jianxin has a variety of builds and some of them will come at the cost of her overall damage. Yinlin can deal a ton of damage quickly but also needs to be swapped out often to take advantage of intro skills and various buffs from other characters. Using either of these options will require you to play a quicker style and swap characters frequently. It’s a fun and unique way to play the game, but it won’t be ideal for everyone.
When looking for a support character, you will want to stick withVerinaorBaizhi.Both apply similar buffs to the party and Baizhi is a free character that everyone will receive from playing the game. The only downside with Baizhi is that her buffs will only apply to the next character you swap her in for, while Verina will buff everyone on the team. Both are very viable options and Baizhi is absolutely viable if you don’t have Verina yet.
Once Yuanwu has the proper weapons, echoes, and teams all set up, you are golden to use him in your teams. Of course, he’ll need levels in everything, but you will also want to look into upgrading his normal abilities too. These will cost some resources found in forgery challenges as well as some just found from exploring the world. Upgraded skills don’t add a ton to his numbers at first, but they will slowly start to add up and really make him hit harder, especially if you are using his weapons that will scale with his defense. After you’ve gotten him set up you’ll have a very strong character to add to your team that will support heavy hitters for a long time.
