Xiangli Yao

Xiangli Yao is an Electro carry built around quick-swap rotations: his teammates charge his Resonance Liberation, then he enters an enhanced state and deals concentrated Electro burst. He pairs naturally with off-field Electro enablers.

How to Play

Run Xiangli Yao with Yinlin to charge his Liberation faster, plus a sustain. Swap in to dump his enhanced window. A top Electro carry on the Wuthering Waves tier list.
