Here’s everything we know about Wuthering Waves’ Youhu.
What’s the best Wuthering Waves Youhu build?
Youhu is a four-star character in Wuthering Waves who uses the glacio element and gauntlets to fight.
| Element | Glacio |
| Rarity | Four-star |
| Role | Support, sub-DPS, and healer |
| Best weapon | Marcato |
| Best echo set | Rejuvenating glow |
| Best echo | Bell-Borne Geochelone |
| Main stats | Healing bonus, energy regeneration, attack |
Youhu makes for a low-cost overall support, with healing abilities and some damage in her kit, along with an outro skill that grants a coordinated attack. This places her as a good member of Jinhsi and Zhezhi teams.
As for the best weapon to use, we recommend the Marcato gauntlets and a full set of rejuvenating glow echoes with attack and energy regen substats. A glacio damage boosting echo can help with her on and off-field damage, but prioritize the five-piece bonus first.
Youhu uses Antiques in combat and uses glacio to deal damage. Her kit has a ‘lottery mechanic’ – when in battle, Youhu picks a random Antique to use, which you can’t control. These include a boomerang-like weapon, a giant pot she can get into and move with, and other items she can hold to hit the target.
What’s the best weapon for Youhu?
The best weapon for Youhu is the Marcato gauntlet, as it gives her a big boost to energy regeneration along with concerto energy restoration. Other than that, you can use the five-star Abyss Surges to improve her damage, or the Gauntlets #21D for a similar effect.
| Marcato | Stat: Energy regeneration Effect: When Youhu releases her resonance skill, she restores concerto energy. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds | All banners |
| Abyss Surges | Stat: Attack Effect: Increases energy regeneration. When hitting a target with resonance skill, this gauntlet increases basic attack damage, lasting for eight seconds. When hitting a target with basic attacks, increases resonance skill damage by 10%, lasting for eight seconds | Standard weapon banner |
| Gauntlets #21D | Stat: Energy regeneration Effect: When Youhu dashes or dodges, her attack increases. Her counterattack damage increases massively as well for eight seconds. When she performs a counterattack, she restores her HP by a small amount. This can trigger once every six seconds | All banners |
| Celestial Spiral | Stat: Attack Effect: Casting Youhu’s resonance skill grants her resonance energy and increases her attack for 16 seconds. This effect can trigger once every 20 seconds | All banners |
What are the best Youhu team comps?
As Youhu has healing abilities, you don’t necessarily need a strong healer with her. She’ll provide enough survivability in the overworld and easier combat challenges so you can get through without Verina, Shorekeeper, or Baizhi.
She also provides coordinated attacks, so Jinhsi massively appreciates her as a teammate, especially alongside Zhezhi or Yinlin.
