  • Suisui Gameplay and Playstyle

Suisui is a Glacio Rectifier Healer and Support, specializing in sustained healing, Glacio Chafe application, and team DMG Amplification. Her gameplay revolves around cycling between two stances, Zephyr Stance and Drizzle Stance, to build resources and deliver increasingly powerful buffs for the team.

In Zephyr Stance, Suisui builds Cloud Breath through Basic Attacks, Dodge Counters, and successful dodges. Once Cloud Breath is full, she casts Awakening Spring, which pulls in nearby enemies, applies Glacio Chafe, and grants nearby teammates Enrichment. Her Intro Skill Tinkling Jade also applies Glacio Chafe and grants Enrichment on entry, sharing the same 25s cooldown. Consuming Enrichment grants the incoming Resonator Spring's Birth, which provides sustained HP recovery over time.

In Drizzle Stance, Suisui builds Floral Epistle through Basic Attacks, Heavy Attacks, and successful dodges. The amount of Floral Epistle she accumulates before swapping out directly determines the strength of her Outro Skill Rippling Waters. The Outro always grants the whole team 25% All DMG Amplification for 30s on cast. With Ceaseless Landscape active, it unlocks tiered bonuses based on Floral Epistle consumed: at 200+, the first Plume Step becomes available; at 400+, Resonators with Reflecting Shadows gain a DMG buff scaling with Suisui's Energy Regen over 200%; and at 600+, the incoming Resonator gains Undulating Mist, granting an ATK buff each time they consume Negative Status stacks on the target, also scaling with Suisui's Energy Regen.

Suisui's biggest strength is her Resonance Liberation Song of Thoroughfare, which deploys Ceaseless Landscape for 30s. While active, it boosts the whole team's Negative Status stack limits on enemies - covering Spectro Frazzle, Fusion Burst, Glacio Chafe, Aero Erosion, and Electro Flare. For Havoc Bane teams specifically, consuming Havoc Bane stacks also grants the Resonator's Havoc DMG a 6% DEF ignore and 12% Havoc RES ignore for 30s.

Suisui Skill Priority

SkillPriorityReason
Resonance Liberation★★★★★ (Top)Deploys Ceaseless Landscape, which is the foundation of Suisui's team support. Increases Negative Status stack limits, enables Roaming Transcendent interactions, and allows Havoc Bane to ignore enemy DEF and RES.
Forte Circuit★★★★★ (Top)Controls both Cloud Breath and Floral Epistle generation, unlocking Drizzle Stance and maximizing the bonus effects of Outro Skill - Rippling Waters. Essential for her full support output.
Resonance Skill★★★★ (High)Casting Awakening Spring applies Glacio Chafe, grants team Enrichment, and triggers the transition into Drizzle Stance. A key part of her rotation and healing cycle.
Basic Attack★★★ (Mid)Builds Cloud Breath in Zephyr Stance and Floral Epistle in Drizzle Stance, applies Glacio Chafe on Drizzle Stage 4, and contributes meaningfully to her support rotation.
Intro Skill★★ (Low)Primarily used to apply Glacio Chafe, grant Enrichment, and transition her into Drizzle Stance on entry. Upgrading this has minimal impact on her healing and support output.

Suisui Best Weapons

Suisui is a Glacio Healer and Support whose effectiveness primarily comes from her healing output and Energy Regen, as her key buff scaling requires reaching 260% Energy Regen to maximize her team bonuses. When choosing the best weapons for Suisui in Wuthering Waves, prioritize those that provide Energy RegenHP, and team ATK buffs.

Weapons that boost Energy Regen or provide additional team buffs are especially valuable for maximizing Suisui's support potential. Her signature weapon Firstlight's Herald is her best-in-slot option, as it increases Max HP, restores Concerto Energy on Liberation cast, and grants nearby Resonators Kingfisher, a powerful ATK buff that scales based on whether Suisui is on or off the field. For players without her signature weapon, Stellar Symphony is a strong 5-star alternative that similarly boosts HP and provides a team ATK buff on healing Resonance Skill casts. For 4-star options, VariationRectifier#25, and Call of the Abyss are all reliable picks that prioritize Energy Regen to keep her rotation consistent.

If the wielder is not on the field, gain Tinted Snow for 6s each time they inflict Glacio Chafe, and gain Ripples for 6s each time they apply healing. Having Tinted Snow and Ripples simultaneously enhances Kingfisher's effect. If the wielder has applied healing and inflicted Glacio Chafe while on the field, they gain both Tinted Snow and Ripples for 6s upon casting Outro Skill, and reset the aforementioned effects. Effects of the same name cannot be stacked.

Since Suisui consistently applies Glacio Chafe throughout her rotation, she can reliably activate this bonus for the team. If Song of Feathered Trace is not yet available, players can opt for Rejuvenating Glow or Moonlit Clouds in the meantime.

Suisui Best Team Comps

Suisui fits into virtually any team composition thanks to her Ceaseless Landscape boosting Negative Status stack limits and her Outro Skill providing 25% All DMG Amplification to the whole team. She pairs especially well with teams that consistently apply Negative Statuses such as Glacio ChafeHavoc BaneFusion Burst, or Aero Erosion, as these directly benefit from her Resonance Liberation buffs. A strong Main DPS in the first slot paired with a Sub-DPS or buffer that applies Negative Statuses consistently, will always maximize her support output.

Suisui Best Resonance Chains

S1: Mountains Washed Into Paintings
  • Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
  • Effect: Resonators with Undulating Mist also gain ATK increase after inflicting Negative Status or dealing Negative Status DMG.
    The duration of Reflecting Shadows obtained through the third Plume Step is extended by 100%.
    Basic Attack - Drizzle Stance, Heavy Attack - Drizzle Stance, and Enhanced Plunging Attack- Enhanced State are immune to interruption.
  • Reason: Makes the Undulating Mist ATK buff much easier to trigger by expanding its condition from consuming Negative Status stacks to simply inflicting any Negative Status or dealing Negative Status DMG. This means the ATK buff activates naturally throughout any Negative Status-focused team's rotation without extra effort. The extended Reflecting Shadows duration and interruption immunity on her Drizzle Stance attacks are added bonuses that smooth out her rotation.
S2: Clouds Pour Like Molten Gold
  • Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
  • Effect: All nearby Resonators in the team within the Ceaseless Landscape have their Crit. DMG increased by 50% for 30s after performing the following actions:
    - Inflicting Spectro Frazzle, Fusion Burst, Glacio Chafe, Aero Erosion, and Electro Flare, or dealing the corresponding Negative Status DMG.
    - Consuming Havoc Bane stacks on the target.
    When the active Resonator is not in the Ceaseless Landscape, this Crit. DMG bonus effect is disabled.
  • Reason: Adds a team-wide 50% Crit. DMG boost that triggers from nearly any Negative Status interaction inside Ceaseless Landscape. Since most DPS Resonators in Negative Status teams already apply or consume debuffs as part of their normal rotation, this buff activates consistently without changing how the team plays. A massive damage ceiling upgrade for the whole team.
S3: Sparse Curtains Invite Evening Glow
  • Rating: ★★★ (Good)
  • Effect: Press Normal Attack shortly after casting Resonance Skill - Drizzle Stance to cast Basic Attack - Drizzle Stance Stage 4.

    Casting Resonance Skill - Drizzle Stance grants Kingfisher. Switching to another Resonator ends this effect. Casting Basic Attack - Drizzle Stance Stage 4 consumes Kingfisher to restore 20 points of Concerto Energy and 350 points of Floral Epistle. Kingfisher can be consumed up to once every 25s.
  • Reason: Adds a Kingfisher buff after casting Resonance Skill - Drizzle Stance, which can be consumed by Basic Attack - Drizzle Stance Stage 4 to restore 20 Concerto Energy and 350 Floral Epistle once every 25s. This makes it significantly easier to hit the 600 Floral Epistle threshold and keeps her Outro Skill buffs cycling more reliably.
S4: Autumn Mountains in Choir Sing
  • Rating: ★★ (Ok)
  • Effect: Healing provided by Enrichment and Spring's Birth are increased by 50%.
  • Reason: A straightforward healing improvement that enhances her survivability support. Useful in content where sustain is a priority but offers no direct damage or buff improvements.
S5: I Long to Ride the Eastern Wind
  • Rating: ★★ (Ok)
  • Effect: The DMG Multipliers of Basic Attack - Drizzle Stance and Heavy Attack - Drizzle Stance are increased by 100%.
  • Reason: Boosts her personal damage output in Drizzle Stance, but since Suisui is a support, this has minimal impact on her overall team contribution.
S6: Staying True to This Splendid Realm
  • Rating: ★★★★★ (Best)
  • Effect: The Crit. DMG of Intro Skill - Tinkling Jade and Resonance Skill - Awakening Spring are increased by 500%.
  • Reason: Massively amplifies the damage of her two key skills that apply Glacio Chafe and trigger her Inherent Skill Sky Over Water buffs. Gives her the highest personal damage ceiling while maintaining her full support toolkit.
