Element | Havoc | |
Weapon Type | Sword | |
Combat Role | Main DPS | |
Yangyang: Xuanling is the brand-new 5-Star Havoc Resonator arriving in Wuthering Waves Version 3.5, wielding swords as her primary weapon. She functions as a standalone Main DPS built around Heavy Attack damage, featuring a dual-stance switch combat system: Azure Sword Stance and Feather Sword Stance.
Two core resource systems sustain her combat loop:
Her core debuff Void Annihilation Mark (known as Havoc Bane in leak circles) stacks up to 6 times on enemies to amplify all her damage output.

First, there are obvious blue highlights in her hair, which highly suggests that Yangyang SP underwent Overclocking, thereby acquiring the Havoc attribute. At the same time, her clothing style draws inspiration from traditional Chinese dynastic culture, foreshadowing a major upheaval and turning point in Yangyang's journey. She also loses her iconic signature blue hat, a key detail hinted in the official in-game survey.

She will possess two distinct combat stances, and her moveset draws heavy inspiration from traditional Chinese martial arts, paired with a flexible manifested sword as her weapon. Below is the full breakdown of every combat mechanic, from basic combos to ultimate ability and hidden passive buffs.

Skill Name | Full Leaked Mechanic Description |
Basic Attack – Azure Sword Stance | Tap or hold Normal Attack to consume Resonance Flow (Melody) for up to 4 consecutive Havoc DMG hits. While Resonance Flow is not depleted, Energy Regeneration gets +20%. Stage 4 hits apply 1 stack of Void Annihilation Mark (Havoc Bane). |
Basic Attack – Feather Sword Stance | Tap or hold Normal Attack to consume Resonance Flow (Melody) for up to 4 consecutive Havoc DMG hits. While Resonance Flow is not depleted, Energy Regeneration gets +20%. Stage 4 hits apply 1 stack of Void Annihilation Mark (Havoc Bane). |
Mid-air Attack – Azure Sword Stance | Hold Normal Attack mid-air to consume STA for plunging Havoc DMG, spending Resonance Flow. Quick Normal Attack tap after casting instantly triggers Stage 2 of Azure Sword Stance. |
Mid-air Attack – Feather Sword Stance | Hold Normal Attack mid-air to consume STA for plunging Havoc DMG, spending Resonance Flow. Quick Normal Attack tap after casting instantly triggers Stage 2 of Feather Sword Stance. |
Dodge Counter – Azure Sword Stance | Tap Normal Attack right after a Perfect Dodge to spend Resonance Flow and deal Havoc DMG. This counts as Stage 2 of Azure Sword Stance; follow-up taps jump straight to Stage 3. |
Dodge Counter – Feather Sword Stance | Tap Normal Attack right after a Perfect Dodge to spend Resonance Flow and deal Havoc DMG. This counts as Stage 2 of Feather Sword Stance; follow-up taps jump straight to Stage 3. |

Base function: Short press Resonance Skill to swap between Azure Sword Stance and Feather Sword Stance, triggering Stage 1 basic attack Havoc damage.

Consume all stored Resonance Flow (Melody) to unleash massive Heavy Attack Havoc DMG and restore 1 Azure Plume stack.
Grants the Voice upon Voice buff on cast: While active, casting Sword Stance Flow summons Shadow of Xuanling to land additional Heavy Attack Havoc DMG. The buff vanishes once Xuanling’s shadow spawns successfully.
Sword Stance Flow replaces the base Resonance Skill once Resonance Flow hits 0:
Spend Resonance Skill button to restore full 100 Resonance Flow + 1 Azure Plume, dealing Heavy Attack damage. Consumes 1 Void Annihilation Mark stack to grant Bated Breath buff: next Azure heavy attack gains +100% Crit DMG, lasts 15s with a 25s cooldown. Interrupting basic attacks summons Wraith of Sound to finish leftover damage.
Spend Resonance Skill button to restore full 100 Resonance Flow + 1 Azure Plume, dealing Heavy Attack damage. Consumes 1 Void Annihilation Mark stack to grant Drifting Mist buff: next Feather heavy attack, Feather Fall or Havoc in Bloom gains +100% Crit DMG, lasts 15s with a 25s cooldown. Interrupting basic attacks summons Wraith of Sound to finish leftover damage.
Each time teammates apply Void Annihilation Mark to enemies, gain 1 Feathered Oath stack (1s trigger interval, max 6 stacks). Each stack adds 30% Crit DMG to all heavy attacks, up to 180% total bonus.



In addition, Yangyang: Xuanling’s weapon is a manifested flexible sword.

Yangyang: Xuanling is a self-sufficient Havoc Main DPS centered around alternating Azure and Feather stances to generate Void Annihilation Mark stacks, consume debuffs for massive Crit DMG buffs, and spend Azure Plume for high AoE heavy attacks.
Optimal team compositions pair her with secondary Havoc resonators to stack Void Annihilation Mark faster and trigger her passive damage multipliers, while buffer supports boost overall team ATK for consistent burst damage.
It’s rumored that the current optimal team composition is Xuanling, Qiansakura and Suisui.
Xuanling (SP Yangyang) is a landmark character for Version 3.5 Mengzhou plot. The former 4-star Aero sidekick transforms into a powerful 5-star Havoc on-field Main DPS with brand-new dual-stance combat mechanics.
We’ve compiled all leaked content including her full skill rotation, six layers of resonance chains, exclusive signature weapon, and complete pre-farm material checklist for your reference. Keep in mind all material names and quantities are subject to change before official patch launch.
