▍Hiyuki Overview

Hiyuki is a 5★ Glacio Sword Resonator whose primary role is Main DPS. Her damage profile is heavily tied to Glacio Chafe, while her Forte Circuit allows her to access enhanced attacks and powerful finishing attacks.

Hiyuki's gameplay is more technical than a straightforward Basic Attack DPS. Players need to manage her Forte resources and Snow Rust stacks while making sure her strongest attacks land during team buff windows.

▍Hiyuki Best Weapon

Best 5-Star Weapon: Frostburn

Frostburn is Hiyuki's signature Sword and her strongest weapon choice. The weapon provides Crit Rate and is specifically designed around Hiyuki's Glacio Chafe and Resonance Liberation gameplay. Its passive increases ATK and enhances Glacio DMG after Hiyuki applies Glacio Chafe. It also allows her Resonance Liberation DMG to ignore part of the target's DEF.

Frostburn's combination of Crit Rate, ATK, Glacio DMG, Glacio Chafe amplification, and Liberation DMG makes it especially well matched to Hiyuki's complete kit. Current Hiyuki build databases also list Frostburn as her best weapon.

Emerald of Genesis

If you do not have Frostburn, Emerald of Genesis is one of the safest alternatives. Its Crit Rate and Energy Regen are both useful for Hiyuki, while its Resonance Skill-related ATK stacking provides additional offensive value.

Fables of Wisdom

Dealing DMG to enemies with Negative Statuses increases the wielder's ATK by 4% for 10s. This effect can be triggered 1 time per second, stackable up to 4 times. Sometimes it's better than Emerald of Genesis.

▍Hiyuki Skill Priority

Hiyuki's skill investment should focus on the abilities that contribute most directly to her main damage sequence.

For a fully built Hiyuki, prioritize Resonance Liberation, Basic Attack, and Forte Circuit before investing heavily into her lower-impact skills. Current build references similarly place her Basic Attack, Forte Circuit, and Resonance Liberation at the top of the investment priority.

▍Hiyuki Resonance Chains

Hiyuki can function effectively at S0, especially when paired with an appropriate weapon and team. Her higher Resonance Chains mainly improve her personal damage, resource generation, and overall ceiling.

Current Hiyuki build references identify S2, S3, and S6 as notable investment breakpoints, while the signature weapon remains a major upgrade for a main DPS build. For most players, completing the S0R1 setup can be considered a more straightforward stopping point before investing heavily into higher Sequences.

If you are short on Astrite for Hiyuki or her signature weapon Frostburn, TOPUPlive provides convenient Wuthering Waves top-up services to help you prepare resources before limited-time Convenes end.

▍Hiyuki Echo Build

Best Echo Set: Wishes of Quiet Snowfall

For a DPS Hiyuki, Wishes of Quiet Snowfall is the recommended 5-piece Sonata set.

The set is particularly valuable because it directly supports Glacio damage and interacts with Glacio Chafe.

The 5-piece set is closely tied to Hiyuki's Glacio Chafe gameplay, making it a natural fit for both her personal damage and her team rotations.

Best Main Echo: Reminiscence: Threnodian - Voidborne Construct

Reminiscence: Threnodian - Voidborne Construct is the recommended 4-Cost Main Echo for Hiyuki. For the main stat, choose Crit. DMG or Crit. Rate depending on your weapon and existing Echo substats.

Recommended Substats

Crit. Rate > Crit. DMG > ATK% > Resonance Liberation DMG > Energy Regen

The exact balance depends on your weapon and Echo rolls. For a well-invested Hiyuki, current build references suggest aiming around 75% Crit Rate, 260% Crit DMG, 125% Energy Regen, and approximately 2,500 ATK with a Glacio DMG/ATK combination on the 3-Cost Echoes. A double-Glacio 3-Cost setup can instead target around 2,200 ATK.

▍Hiyuki Best Teams

Hiyuki benefits the most from teammates that can support her Glacio Chafe mechanics while providing strong damage amplification and efficient rotations.

1. Hiyuki + Lucilla + Suisui

Hiyuki performs best in teams that can consistently support her Glacio Chafe mechanics while providing damage amplification, healing, and efficient rotations. Among the current options, Hiyuki + Lucilla + Suisui is one of the most suitable compositions for maximizing her Glacio Chafe-focused gameplay.

The strength of this team comes from how naturally all three characters work around the Glacio Chafe system. Hiyuki remains the team's primary damage dealer, while Lucilla helps maintain the required effects and contributes additional damage and support.

Suisui is particularly valuable because her kit supports the Negative Status system and can increase the maximum number of Glacio Chafe stacks. She also provides healing and additional team utility, allowing Hiyuki to maintain her damage rotation more consistently.

2. Hiyuki + Lucilla + Chisa

This is one of Hiyuki's strongest dedicated Glacio Chafe compositions.

The combination allows Hiyuki to take advantage of additional Glacio Chafe-related effects while Lucilla provides offensive support and Chisa contributes further team utility. Current community rotation testing also features Hiyuki, Lucilla, and Chisa as a dedicated team, with Hiyuki carrying the majority of the team's damage.

3. Hiyuki + Lynae + Mornye

Players without Chisa and Suisui can also build a more flexible team around Hiyuki.

This option is more flexible, but it does not reproduce every part of a dedicated Glacio Chafe composition. Hiyuki's team performance is strongly influenced by how well her teammates support her core mechanics.

▍Hiyuki Basic Rotation

Hiyuki's rotation is built around preparing her resources before entering her main damage window.

A simplified rotation is:

Intro Skill → Heavy Attack → Resonance Liberation → Basic Attacks → Resonance Skill → Resonance Skill → Basic Attacks → Heavy Attack → Echo → Resonance Liberation → Outro Skill

A practical team rotation can look like:

Chisa → Lucilla → Hiyuki → Chisa → Lucilla → Hiyuki

Before beginning a rotation, Hiyuki can also benefit from spending time outside combat to prepare certain resources. Current build references specifically note a 4-second out-of-combat condition that can help prepare her resources before combat begins.

The important point is not simply pressing every ability as soon as it becomes available. Hiyuki's strongest attacks should be aligned with team buffs and her available Forte resources.

▍Is Frostburn Worth Getting for Hiyuki?

If Hiyuki is one of your primary DPS characters, Frostburn provides several effects that directly complement her kit.

The weapon offers:

• Crit Rate
• ATK%
• Glacio DMG amplification
• Glacio Chafe DMG amplification
• Resonance Liberation DMG improvement
• DEF-related damage penetration

This makes Frostburn substantially more specialized for Hiyuki than a generic Sword. If you already own a strong 5-star Sword such as Emerald of Genesis or Blazing Brilliance, however, you can build Hiyuki first and consider Frostburn later.

▍FAQs about Hiyuki Build

1. What is Hiyuki's best team?

A dedicated Hiyuki + Lucilla + Suisui team is one of the strongest current compositions for maximizing her Glacio Chafe-oriented gameplay.

2. Should I get Hiyuki's signature weapon or Resonance Chains first?

For a main DPS Hiyuki, current build references place the signature weapon as an important investment before chasing higher Sequences.

3. Is Hiyuki good at S0?

Yes. Hiyuki's core gameplay is fully available at S0. Her higher Sequences improve her ceiling rather than being required to unlock her basic DPS function.

▍Conclusion

Hiyuki is a Glacio Sword DPS built around Glacio Chafe, Forte management, and powerful Resonance Liberation windows. For the current build, prioritize Frostburn, Wishes of Quiet Snowfall, Crit-based Echoes, and a team that can consistently support her Glacio Chafe mechanics.
