Yuanwu Review

Yuanwu is a 4-Star Electro character in Wuthering Waves.

A character whose damage is based on defense, using Resonance Skill to summon Thunder Wedge that can perform synergy attacks with on-field characters.

The Resonance Liberation can grant Lightning Infused status to the character and teammates, and has a unique Vibration Strength depletion Outro Skill. High Resonance Chain Yuanwu can also provide high-value shields to teammates.

Pros:

High defense, strong survivability.

Cons:

There is a conflict between high defense scaling and off-field benefits.
Although Yuanwu’s Outro Skill can deplete Vibration Strength, it only reduces it by 10%,
which is not very significant.
The ability to deplete Vibration Strength while in the Lightning Infused state is not significantly enhanced, and reducing Vibration Strength for boss-level enemies relies more on the Intro Skill.
Additionally, the Anti-Interruption ability provided by Lightning Infused is not very noticeable, making the benefits of Resonance Liberation very low and somewhat meaningless.
