Wuthering Waves: Pro Tips For Playing As Encore

Encore is one of the strongest Fusion DPS characters in Wuthering Waves. Here's how to master her.

Since Yangyang is a starter four-star character, her skills are basic and her playstyle is very simple. However, with proper combos and some tricks, you can unleash Yangyang's true potential and make her one of the most fun characters to play. Even though Yangyang won't be a match for the other "meta" damage dealers, she can be made powerful enough to help you breeze through Wuthering Waves without any issues.

Harmonize Your Attacks

Yangyang's Forte Circuit gauge is based on her "Melodies". Using Yangyang's "Melodies" optimally is the key to playing her at max potential.

You can stack up to three Melodies for an Enhanced attack combo. This enhanced attack combo consists of a charged attack and a plunge attack with a large AOE.

After an Enhanced Heavy attack, Yangyang will jump into the air, and you can follow it up with a plunge attack for another Enhanced attack. You can use various methods to gain "Melodies", and all of them are;

Action

Melody Gained

Intro Skill

One

Four normal attacks

One

Resonance Skill

One

Heavy attack + One normal attack

One

Most players who play Yangyang will make the mistake of spamming normal attacks to obtain Melody stacks and this wastes a lot of time. To optimally gain Melody stacks, it's best to use your Intro Skill+ Resonance Skill + Heavy attack + One Normal attack.

If you are playing Yangyang on the field at all times, Heavy attack + One Normal attack is the best combo to quickly gain Melody stacks.

Control The Crowd To Control The Battle

With Yangyang's Aero attribute, she comes equipped with excellent crowd control abilities. This makes Yangyang a great character for battles that involve lots of small enemies.

It's best to use Yangyang's crowd control skillsfirst when entering the battle and then switch to your main damage dealer.

Be mindful of your positioning when using Yangyang's crowd control skills. In places like Tower of Adversity where crowd control skills can be a lifesaver, it's generally good to play Yangyang while staying close to the center of the stage.

Yangyang's enhanced attacks and her resonance liberation will provide crowd control. In combat situations like Tower of adversity, it's best to use Yangyang resonance liberation first and then her enhanced attacks. This will make sure the resonance energy gained from using skills will not be wasted, and the enemies will be grouped together.

Charge Your Skills

Crowd control and damage is not the only thing Yangyang has to offer. Yangyang's outro skill provides Resonance Liberation energy for the next character that takes the field.

This is one of Yangyang's strongest points and makes sure to switch to a character that has a high energy cost.

Havoc Rover and Jiyan are some characters that work well with Yangyang's Resonance Liberation charge. Generally, it's best to pair Yangyang with a main damage dealer that has a high resonance liberation energy cost.

Yangyang Is A Team Player

Yangyang is not someone you want to use to solo Wuthering Waves. Even though it might be possible, it's best to play Yangyang as a team support. Her concerto bar can be filled quickly, and thus it's better to always have her as a sub-damage dealer in any team composition.

The recipe for a great Yangyang team is: Resonance liberation dependent main damage dealer + Yangyang + Any healer.

Yangyang's major contribution to the team is helping you set up the battlefield. Fly in with her intro skill, crowd control the enemies and swap out of her to give energy resonance regeneration to the next character.

All In Within Eight Seconds

Yangyang's Inherent Skill gives her eight percent Aero Damage bonus for eight seconds, which is further increased by 15 percent in Sequence One. To maximize your damage during rotations, it's best to use Yangyang's whole skill set within eight seconds. The most optimal way to use Yangyang during those eight seconds seconds is;

Intro Skill - Plunge attack - Resonance Liberation - Heavy Attack - One Normal Attack - Resonance Skill - Heavy Attack

This might seem complicated at first, but it's easy when put into action. Opening Yangyang with her Intro Skill will give her one stack of Melody. Afterward, follow it up with a plunge attack to quickly cancel the intro skill animation and then use her Resonance Liberation.

Now you are ready to unleash Yangyang's normal attack combos, which is a Heavy attack followed by a single normal attack for one more stack of melody. Finally, a Resonance skill for the third stack of Melody and then a heavy attack to unleash Yangyang's enhanced attack.

If done correctly, this combo will quickly fill up your concerto gauge from zero to full within eight seconds most of the time. If it didn't fill, a single normal attack or a dodge/counter would make up for it.
