Yangyang: Xuanling
Role
Havoc Bane/Heavy Attack MainDPS
Current Meta Role (Version 3.5)
In Version 3.5, Resonator Yangyang: Xuanling is the first-ever character in wuwa to be a Havoc Bane main DPS. Utilizing the Negative Status archetype, she dominates the endgame.Her core strength is that her damage potential is very high in her BIS team and will dominate any gamemode, and she is also very easy to play and go around with
Should You Pull For Yangyang: Xuanling?
You should consider pulling Yangyang: Xuanling if you want a havoc damage main DPS. But you have to remember her team is very high investment, she needs both Chisa and Suisui on her team to function at the highest level, tho her dmg outmatches Phrolova by a ton.
Final Verdict
PULL YANGYANG: XUANLING if you need a havoc main DPS. You want a negative status dps and will invest into her a lot.
SKIP YANGYANG: XUANLING if you already have Phrolova optimised and don't want a character that will do the same job, or you also have other NS teams and dont want another one.
Suisui
Role
Glacio Negative status support/healer
Current Meta Role (Version 3.5)
In Version 3.5, Resonator Suisui arrives as the 2nd Universal Negative status support in wuwa. Her core strength being that is that it can buff any negative status in-game and also provide huge dmg% buffs along with Attack buff and healing.
Should You Pull For Suisui?
You should consider pulling Suisui if you want another Negative Status Buffer other than Chisa, or if you don't have her. You should avoid Suisui if your negative status DPSes are Aemeath, Cartethyia and Zani; she can't buff them as much as Chisa. If you have Hiyuki and Yangyang: Xuanling, you should go for Suisui.
- Total Buffs
25% All DMG amplification
12% All Attribute DMG bonus50% attack ONLY WORKS IF YOUR DPS CONSUMES NEGATIVE STATUS STACKS
25% attack from the set
+3 NS stacks to every type of negative status aside from Havoc Bane.
20% attack from a weapon
If Character Consumes Havoc Bane gives them 12% Havoc Res ignore and 6% def ignore on Havoc DMG
Final Verdict
PULL SUISUI if you need another buffer for Hiyuki to free up Chisa for other teams, Getting Yangyang: Xuanling or want to get more damage out of your Hiyuki
SKIP SUISUI if you already have Chisa. You are not pulling for Yangyang: Xuanling or Don't have Hiyuki/Don't want more dmg from her
Aemeath
Role
Fusion Burst/Tune-Rupture MainDPS
Current Meta Role (Version 3.5)
In Version 3.5, Resonator Aemeath is a very reliable and high damage dealing character, She is one of the best in the game currently.
In Resonance Mode – Tune Rupture, Aemeath deals additional instances of Tune Rupture DMG, making this mode highly effective for single-target damage. Her overall damage output increases further when the team includes more Resonators capable of triggering Tune Rupture – Interfered, allowing her to fully capitalize on this mechanic.
In Resonance Mode – Fusion Burst, Aemeath applies Fusion Burst to enemies, unlocking her strong area-of-effect damage potential. By frequently inflicting Fusion Burst, this mode enables her to deal sustained AoE damage and perform especially well in multi-target combat scenarios.
Should You Pull For Aemeath?
You should consider pulling Aemeath if you want to have a dual team character, since Aemeath can swap between Tunebreak and Negative status mode, making her have flexible team options.
if her story moved you and you are trying to guess if she is good to have, yes, she is fantastic to have on your account.
Final Verdict
PULL AEMEATH if you want a flexible character, with high damage and clears any content with ease.
SKIP AEMEATH if....there isnt any reason tbh, unless you want to save asterites for some other character that will do more damage than her.
Luuk Herssen
Role
Spectro Tune Strain mainDPS
Current Meta Role (Version 3.5)
In Version 3.5, Resonator Luuk Herssen is still a very good DPS unit . You must keep in mind his dmg falls off a lot if you don't have Lynae or Denia. So, to pull him, having either is a must at this point in time. His damage ceiling is also not very high, so you can't really increase his damage a lot by playing him better.
Should You Pull For Luuk Herssen?
He is definitely a very good pick if you want a spectro dps, yes he does work very well with Sanhua since he is a basic attack dmg character but his dmg will be very low.
Final Verdict
PULL LUUK HERSSEN if you need a Spectro DPS unit and you have Lynae or Denia free in your account.
SKIP LUUK HERSSEN if you don't have either of them and don't want to spend resources on his team.
Lynae
Role
Spectro Sub-DPS / Team DMG Amplifier
Current Meta Role (Version 3.5)
In Version 3.5, Resonator Lynae fills two clear roles: she is the strongest Resonance Liberation damage amplifier currently available and a key enabler of the new Off-Tune / Mistuned system. While all Resonators can interact with Off-Tune mechanics, Lynae significantly increases how efficiently teams access them while providing multiple high-value teamwide damage bonuses.
Should You Pull for Lynae?
Lynae works best with Resonance Liberation–focused Resonators such as Aemeath, Luuk Herssen, Iuno and Xiangli Yao. However, her primary value comes from Liberation amplification. If you are not using or planning to use Liberation-focused Resonators, or if your account is centered on Negative Status–based teams, her pull value decreases, since these compositions benefit less from raw damage amplification.
Final Verdict
PULL LYNAE if you are using or planning to use Resonance Liberation–focused Resonators and/or intend to build Off-Tune teams.
SKIP LYNAE only if you are fully invested in Negative Status or Echo Skill–centric teams and have no need for Liberation damage amplification.
Conclusion
Pull decisions in Wuthering Waves Version 3.5 should depend on the teams you want to build and the characters you already have. Some Resonators, like Lynae and Suisui, provide strong teamwide value, while others such as Yangyang: Xuanling and Aemeath become much stronger when paired with the right teammates. Before spending your Astrites, think about which team archetype your account supports best.
If you’re planning to pull in Wuthering Waves 3.5, preparing your Astrites ahead of time can make a big difference. For a fast, secure, and affordable Wuthering Waves top-up, you can head to LootBar and get ready for the upcoming banners.
