Yangyang Xuanling Damage Snapshot (July 2026)
Updated on 2026-07-27: Separated standard build targets from high-investment showcase boards; noted current Hazard Tower’s +45% total DMG after Havoc Bane as a cycle-specific layer, not a permanent kit buff.
Check | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Role | 5★ Havoc Sword Main DPS (SP) | Not the 4★ Aero battery Yangyang |
Damage type | Heavy Attack + Havoc Bane | Peak hits need Plume spend under amp |
Endgame | Full Crest Hazard Tower / strong WhiWa | Best on Bane-favored floors |
Pull floor | S0 clears; S0R1 is the practical peak | S3 / S6 raise ceiling, not a clear gate |
Must-pull partner | Chisa (or Mortefi F2P) | Outro Heavy Amp before her Intro |
Should you pull? Investment ladder
Investment | What you can expect | Pull if… |
|---|---|---|
S0 + Emerald of Genesis + Mortefi / Verina | Full Crest clears on current Bane Tower floors | You need a Havoc carry and lack Phrolova |
S0R1 + Chisa + Shorekeeper / Iuno | Peak practical ceiling for most accounts | She is your main 3.5 Havoc team |
S0R1 + Chisa + Suisui | Premium Bane sustain once Suisui is built | You already own Chisa and want the BiS third |
S3 / S6 | Higher Liberation / Heavy vulnerability spikes | You whale her as a long-term carry |
Skip or park the banner if your account already clears endgame on a built Phrolova team and you refuse to free Chisa for a second Havoc core. Rank context lives on the Wuthering Waves 3.5 Tier List.
Why the Numbers Spike (and When They Do Not)
Her kit stacks on one hit type: Heavy Attacks while the target holds max Havoc Bane.
Source | Effect | Permanent? |
|---|---|---|
Havoc Bane stacks (1–3 / 4–6) | +10% / +12% personal DMG Amp per stack | Yes (her Inherent) |
Azure Plume Heavies | Azure cyclone / Feather Fall → Havoc in Bloom | Yes |
Bated Breath / Streaming Storm | Big Crit DMG window on the next Azure or Feather Heavy string (~25s CD, on-field) | Yes |
Song of Feathered Trace 5pc | On Bane: +20% Crit Rate, +35% Heavy Attack DMG (15s) | Yes (gear) |
Azure Oath | Heavy Amp + DEF ignore while Bane is live | Yes (weapon) |
Current Hazard Tower area effect | +45% total DMG for 30s after you inflict Havoc Bane | No — this Tower cycle only |
Seven-digit Heavy windows show up when kit Crit DMG windows, Chisa Heavy Amp, Echo set, and that Tower +45% layer overlap. Remove the Tower layer and she stays a top Havoc carry; the floating numbers shrink. Compare her on neutral floors before you call the kit “broken forever.”
Standard Stats vs Showcase Board
Use the left column for farming. The right column is a high-investment Lv.90 board (sig + heavy Crit rolls), not the minimum clear bar.
Stat | Standard goal (Lv.90, S0) | High-investment showcase example |
|---|---|---|
ATK | 2,100–2,300+ | ~3,100 |
Crit Rate (menu) | 65%+ before Song’s combat bonus | ~85–88% (overcap; trade for Heavy % if you can) |
Crit Rate (in combat with 5pc) | ~72–74% | Often overcapped |
Crit DMG | 255–280%+ | ~275–285% |
Energy Regen | 107–119% | ~115–120% |
Echo | Song of Feathered Trace 5pc + Thousand-Puppet Pavilion | Same set, better substats |
Skill priority | Forte → Liberation → Basic → Intro → Skill | Same |
Menu Crit Rate of 85%+ is not the target. Song of Feathered Trace already adds +20% Crit Rate after you apply Bane. Dump extra rolls into Crit DMG and Heavy Attack %. Full weapon / Echo / rotation detail sits in the Yangyang Xuanling Best Build & Rotation Guide.
Damage Ceiling by Content
Content | What she does | Caveat |
|---|---|---|
Hazard Tower (Havoc Bane cycle) | Fast Crest clears on floors that reward Bane; Lv.100 bosses like Mech Abomination / Thundering Mephis fall inside Crest timers on a built team | +45% total DMG is a stage buff this cycle |
Whimpering Wastes | Strong AoE from Heavy cyclones + traction | Needs a real support package for top scores |
Overworld / story | Short field time; self-sufficient Plume loop | Not a balance proof for endgame |
Neutral / non-Bane floors | Still high personal damage | Use these when you compare her to Phrolova or older carries |
Peak showcase bursts (million-range Heavy windows) need the stacked buffs above. Treat them as ceiling demos, not every-floor averages.
How to Hit Peak Damage (4 steps)
The common fail: Intro Xuanling before Chisa’s Outro. You spend Plumes with no Heavy Amp.
Buffer fills Concerto → Chisa (or Mortefi) applies Bane / Outros Heavy Amp.
Xuanling Intro → Thousand-Puppet Pavilion → build Melody → Skill Flow for Azure Plume.
Spend Plumes on Feather Fall → Havoc in Bloom, then Azure cyclone, while Bated Breath / Streaming Storm Crit DMG is live.
Liberation as a Plume + Bane refill; stay on-field during Crit DMG windows; Outro when Concerto is ready.

Teams That Push the Ceiling
Team | Members | When to run |
|---|---|---|
Premium Heavy | Xuanling + Chisa + Iuno / Shorekeeper | Best Heavy Amp + sustain for Crest timers |
Premium Bane | Xuanling + Chisa + Suisui | When Suisui is built as the third |
Havoc double | Xuanling + Phrolova + Shorekeeper / Verina | AoE WhiWa; Phrolova covers Havoc / Heavy |
F2P Heavy | Xuanling + Mortefi + Verina | No Chisa; still clears Crests |
Chisa first if the slot is empty. Azure Oath second. Sequences after that.

FAQ
Is Yangyang Xuanling the same as starter Yangyang?
No. Starter Yangyang is a 4★ Aero battery and grouper. Yangyang: Xuanling is a 5★ Havoc Main DPS with Azure / Feather stances, Azure Plume Heavies, and Havoc Bane scaling. Builds and teams do not transfer.
Is her damage broken in Version 3.5?
On current Havoc Bane Tower cycles and WhiWa she sits at the top of the DPS conversation. Part of the flashiest numbers is the Tower’s +45% after Bane. On neutral floors she remains a top Havoc carry; the gap versus other built carries shrinks. Refresh this page each Tower reset.
Should you pull if you already have Phrolova?
Pull Xuanling if you want a second endgame Havoc core, better WhiWa flexibility, or a Heavy Attack carry that scales with Chisa. Park the banner if Phrolova already clears your Crests and you will not free Chisa or build a second team.
Does she need Azure Oath for Crest clears?
No. Emerald of Genesis and other Crit / Heavy swords clear Floor Crests. Azure Oath is the peak board (Heavy Amp + DEF ignore on Bane). Grab Chisa before the signature if that slot is empty.
What Crit Rate should you run?
Menu: about 65%+ Crit Rate before Song of Feathered Trace. In combat with the 5pc Bane bonus: about 72–74%. Put leftover rolls into Crit DMG and Heavy Attack %. An 85%+ menu Crit Rate with zero Heavy substats wastes the set bonus.
Where do you go next on BitTopup?
Read the Yangyang Xuanling Best Build, check the 3.5 tier list, then top up Lunites when you need one more pull for Chisa or Azure Oath.
Conclusion
Yangyang Xuanling’s ceiling is real: Heavy Attacks under max Havoc Bane, with Chisa or Mortefi feeding amp before her Intro. Treat million-range showcases as stacked-buff peaks, build to the standard 2.1k–2.3k ATK / 72–74% combat Crit Rate board first, and she clears current Hazard Tower Crests.
