While in Resonance Mode - Electro Flare, Hsin gains the following effects: - When Hsin enters combat, targets within a certain range do not lose Electro Flare stacks when it's triggered automatically. - After Resonators in the team inflict Electro Rage to a target, every 1 stacks of Electro Rage inflicted grants Hsin 1 stacks of Heart of Thunder, stacking up to 100 times, and consumes all Electro Rage stacks from that target. Heart of Thunder is removed when Hsin switches Resonance Mode. - At the last stage of Resonance Skill - Heartward by Moon, Hsin actively triggers 1 instance of Electro Flare DMG on the targets. Its DMG Multiplier equals to 35% x (the number of Heart of Thunder stacks on Hsin) x (the Electro Flare DMG Multiplier corresponding to the target's current Electro Flare stacks). While casting Resonance Skill - Heartward by Moon, switching to another Resonator or ending the skill early will end the above effects early. Some time after casting Resonance Skill - Heartward by Moon, Hsin consumes all remaining stacks of Heart of Thunder. When Hsin has at least 50 stacks of Heart of Thunder, Resonance Skill - Illuming Form stagnates nearby targets during the action. - After casting Resonance Liberation - Formshift, inflict 5 stacks of Electro Flare on nearby targets within a certain range. It also makes Basic Attack - Illumining Form: Pillars Aligned or Dodge Counter - Illumining Form: Pillars Aligned inflict Electro Flare on hit targets, up to 5 times.

The Moon Owes Its Light to the Living
★ PriorityTargets take 40% more Resonance Skill DMG from Hsin. Resonance Skill DMG dealt by Hsin ignores 20% of the target's DEF. While in Resonance Mode - Unison: The maximum stacks of the Unison Boon effect on Resonators in the team are increased by 1. When a Resonator in the team triggers Unison Response, all Resonators in the team gain 1 stacks of Unison Boon for 30s. This effect does not stack. While in Resonance Mode - Electro Flare: While in combat, Electro Flare DMG taken by targets within a certain range around Hsin can be Critical, with Crit. Rate fixed at 80% and Crit. DMG fixed at 230%.
+40% Resonance Skill DMG taken, 20% DEF ignored, Electro Flare crits · Targets take 40% more Resonance Skill DMG from Hsin and that damage ignores 20% of their DEF, which lands squarely on the half of the kit she kills with. In Electro Flare it also lets Electro Flare DMG around her critically hit at a fixed 80% Crit. Rate and 230% Crit. DMG - a line no amount of substats buys. In Unison it raises the Unison Boon cap by 1 and hands the whole team a stack on every Unison Response.
Hsin is a 5★ Electro Rectifier Main DPS in Wuthering Waves. The best build is Blooming Jadehaven with the 5-piece Heart of Sworn Vigil echo set, using Reminiscence: Suhsin the Inevitable as the main echo. The strongest team is Hsin with Electro Rover and Suisui (electro flare). At Level 90, aim for 14500+ HP, 1100+ DEF, 2100-2500+ ATK, 65%+ CRIT Rate (before Echo set bonuses), 230-270%+ CRIT DMG, 110-115% Energy Regen and 50-80%+ Electro DMG Bonus.

Blooming Jadehaven
R1BestHsin's Signature and best weapon, has the standard Base ATK, DMG Bonus and CRIT Rate stats, but also Skill DMG Amplification, Electro RES Ignore and Electro Flare DMG Amplification. Overall a big deal in terms of stats for her, far outclasses permanent options.
100.0%

Lethean Elegy
R1Solid alternative to Hsin's Signature in Flare teams, provides Hsin with Skill DMG and DEF Ignore as well as good base stats. Still far outclassed in Unison teams though for buff uptime reasons, which is an issue across all weapons but her Signature.
79.7%

Stringmaster
R1One of the best generalist Rectifiers, with high ATK and CRIT Rate stats but still has significant losses compared to Hsin's Signature regardless of the team.
76.2%

Whispers of Sirens
R1Mostly an ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick for Hsin, barely benefits from this weapon's Basic Attack DMG-increasing effect but overall a negligible boost.
72.8%

Freeze Frame
R1ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Hsin, who does not benefit from this weapon's Glacio Chafe-related effects.
71.0%
Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.
5-Piece Sonata
Heart of Sworn Vigil
The best set, and it is written for both halves of her kit. The 2-piece is a flat 10% Electro DMG. The 5-piece triggers on inflicting Electro Flare, obtaining Unison or triggering Unison Response - three conditions Hsin meets naturally in either Resonance Mode - for 15% Crit Rate and 22.5% Electro DMG Bonus over 30s. Because both her Unison and her Electro Flare teams satisfy it without being built around it, the bonus stays live through her whole damage window rather than flickering mid-rotation.
Example Loadout · 4 · 3 · 3 · 1 · 1 cost
5-Piece Sonata
Void Thunder
The alternative if Heart of Sworn Vigil is not farmed yet. 2-piece is the same 10% Electro DMG. The 5-piece gives 15% Electro DMG on Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill, stacking twice, 15s per stack - Hsin keeps both stacks up on Resonance Skill alone. Strictly less than her own set, but it asks nothing of her rotation.
Example Loadout · 4 · 3 · 3 · 1 · 1 cost
Special Set
Flash of Electric Reflection
For a support build rather than a DPS one. 2-piece is 10% Electro DMG; the 5-piece gives 10% Electro DMG Bonus for 15s on inflicting Electro Flare, and while that is live, casting Outro Skill hands the incoming resonator 25% Electro DMG Bonus for 15s. Worth it only if Hsin is the one enabling a different Electro carry.

Special Set
Lingering Tune (2pc) + Void Thunder (2pc)
The flexible stopgap. Two 2-piece bonuses instead of one 5-piece, for when neither full set has usable substats yet. Nothing about it is optimal; it is what you run while farming the real thing.

Blooming Jadehaven is the weapon to build around. Without it, Lethean Elegy, Stringmaster and Whispers of Sirens are the next picks, in that order. Augment is the budget option.
On the Heart of Sworn Vigil set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Electro DMG on the 3-cost, Electro DMG ≥ ATK% on the 3-cost and ATK% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% = Skill DMG% > ATK.
The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S6 (+40% Resonance Skill DMG taken, 20% DEF ignored, Electro Flare crits), S3 (+70% Liberation multiplier, 1500% Electro Flare proc) and S2 (+60% on all four Heavy Attack multipliers). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.
Ascension needs 46× Solidarity's Loneflame above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
Blooming Jadehaven is the best-in-slot weapon for Hsin. Her own Rectifier, and the only weapon that pays her in both of the currencies her kit spends. Its 24.3% Crit Rate secondary covers the one stat Hsin generates nothing of on her own. The passive fires on either Resonance Mode - 12% All-Attribute DMG Bonus after she inflicts Electro Flare or triggers Unison Response - so it never goes dead whichever way she is played. The line that decides it is the 36% Resonance Skill DMG amplification with 10% of the target's Electro RES ignored, because Resonance Skill damage is where the majority of her output sits. While she is on field it also amplifies Electro Flare DMG taken by targets in range by 30% for 30s, which the rest of an Electro Flare team feeds on. The next best options are Lethean Elegy and Stringmaster. Augment is the strongest budget pick.
Run the 5-piece Heart of Sworn Vigil set on Hsin. Reminiscence: Suhsin the Inevitable is the recommended main echo. Main stats by cost: 4-cost CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG, 3-cost Electro DMG, 3-cost Electro DMG ≥ ATK%, 1-cost ATK%, 1-cost ATK%.
On Hsin, prioritise these echo substats: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% = Skill DMG% > ATK.
Level the forte nodes in this order on Hsin: Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Basic Attack → Res. Skill → Intro Skill.
Best Team (Electro Flare): Hsin with Electro Rover and Suisui. Free-to-play Flare: Hsin with Electro Rover and Buling. Unison (Jinhsi): Hsin with Jinhsi and Shorekeeper. Unison (Suoming) - from 22 October: Hsin with Suoming and Shorekeeper. Electro Rover applies Electro Flare in bulk and buffs Hsin's Electro damage; Suisui sustains and amplifies. Chisa can outperform her in quickswap.
To reach level 90, Hsin needs 4 LF, 12 MF, 12 HF, 4 FF Autopuppet Kernels, 46 Solidarity's Loneflame, 60 Bloom of Hearkening and 170,000 Shell Credits. Maxing every skill and stat node adds 25 LF, 28 MF, 40 HF, 57 FF Autopuppet Kernels, 25 Spliced String, 28 Broken String, 55 Solidified String, 67 Melodic String, 26 Remnant of the Wheel and 2,030,000 Shell Credits. Solidarity's Loneflame is gathered in Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis; Bloom of Hearkening is gathered in the Simulacrum Nexus (50 spots).
Hsin is a 5★ Electro Rectifier resonator from Huanglong, released on September 30, 2026.
