Taoqi Review

Taoqi is a 4-Star Havoc character in Wuthering Waves.

A character whose damage is based on defense, with core output methods being defensive counterattacks and Resonance Liberation. Although the base stats and Skill Multiplier are high (due to high defense values), the output rhythm is too passive, and the acquisition of Concerto Energy and Resonance Energy is not efficient. The enhanced Basic Attack of the Forte Circuit can generate a shield, which is shared by the entire team,
and the Outro Skill can provide Resonance Skill DMG Deepen, making this character usable as a support.

Pros

Can provide shields and damage reduction shields, making the defensive counterattack playstyle suitable for beginners new to action games.
High defense and self-healing ensure survivability.
After using the Intro Skill, the enhanced Basic Attack of the Forte Circuit can provide a shield for the entire team, making it a good match with Danjin.

Cons

Resonance Skill can only heal the character, making the defensive counterattack playstyle too passive and prone to downtime when clearing small mobs in the Open World.
Even with damage reduction, there is still a risk of insufficient sustain when tackling high-difficulty game content.
