Basic Attack

Slash of Breaking Dawn

Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes dealing Spectro DMG.

Heavy Attack: Consume Stamina to perform a charged strike, dealing Spectro DMG.

Mid-Air Attack: Consume Stamina to perform a Plunging Attack while airborne, dealing Spectro DMG.

Dodge Counter: Use Normal Attack right after a successful Dodge to counterattack, dealing Spectro DMG.

Resonance Skill

Trailing Lights of Eons

Trailing Lights of Eons: Dash forward and perform consecutive strikes dealing Spectro DMG.

Overflowing Radiance: After Normal Attack Stage 4 or Intro Skill Loong's Halo (when not in Incarnation), an alternate Resonance Skill becomes available for 5s. Overflowing Radiance deals Spectro DMG and enters Incarnation state. Can be cast mid-air.

Incarnation

Basic Attack: Perform up to 4 consecutive strikes dealing Spectro DMG (counted as Resonance Skill DMG). Can be cast mid-air.

Crescent Divinity: Alternate Resonance Skill during Incarnation. Deals Spectro DMG. Can be cast mid-air.

After completing Incarnation

Basic Attack Stage 4, Jinhsi gains Ordination Glow (5s), enabling Illuminous Epiphany.

Illuminous Epiphany: Send out a Solar Flare that detonates as Stella Glamour, dealing massive Spectro DMG. Consumes up to 40 Incandescence; each point grants additional DMG Multiplier to Stella Glamour. Can be cast mid-air.

After casting Illuminous Epiphany, Jinhsi gains Unison (once every 25s). While Unison is active, switching to another character consumes Unison to simultaneously trigger Jinhsi's Outro Skill and the incoming character's Intro Skill.

Resonance Liberation

Purge of Light

Unleash the power of invocation to deal massive AoE Spectro DMG in dragon form. One of the highest base DMG Multipliers of any Resonance Liberation in the game. Can be cast mid-air. Energy Cost

150

Cooldown: 24s.

Intro Skill

Loong's Halo

Attack the target dealing Spectro DMG. Immediately grants access to Overflowing Radiance (bypassing the need to complete 4 Normal Attacks), enabling direct entry into Incarnation state at the start of every rotation.

Outro Skill

Temporal Bender

Enhances the Eras in Unity buff

the frequency at which Jinhsi gains Incandescence from Attribute DMG is reduced from once every 3s to once every 1s for 20s

tripling her Forte Gauge charging rate and enabling a near-full Incandescence bar within a single support's rotation.

Inherent Skills

Radiant Surge

Jinhsi's Spectro DMG Bonus is permanently increased by 20%, amplifying every hit in her rotation including Incarnation attacks, Crescent Divinity, Illuminous Epiphany, and Purge of Light.

Converged Flash

The DMG Multiplier of Intro Skill Loong's Halo is increased by 50%. Since Loong's Halo opens every rotation, this boosts opener damage and synergizes with the Celestial Light 5-piece set bonus.

Forte Circuit

Passive

Luminal Synthesis - Incandescence

Jinhsi holds up to 50 Incandescence. When Jinhsi is in the party, all nearby Resonators gain Eras in Unity: Jinhsi gains 1 Incandescence whenever a party member deals Attribute DMG (once per 3s per element type) or 2 Incandescence from Coordinated Attacks (once per 3s per element type). After Temporal Bender, these intervals reduce to 1s each for 20s.

Active

Luminal Synthesis - Incarnation

Entering Incarnation replaces Jinhsi's standard kit with enhanced mid-air-capable variants

Incarnation

Basic Attack (4 stages, counted as Resonance Skill DMG), Crescent Divinity (alternate Resonance Skill), Incarnation - Heavy Attack, and Incarnation - Dodge Counter. All attacks deal Spectro DMG. Incarnation lasts 10s.

Active

Luminal Synthesis - Ordination Glow

After completing Incarnation

Basic Attack Stage 4, Jinhsi gains Ordination Glow for 5s. During this window, she can access Illuminous Epiphany - her signature burst skill. Illuminous Epiphany sends out a Solar Flare that detonates as Stella Glamour. If Jinhsi has Incandescence, she consumes up to 40 stacks; each point adds additional DMG Multiplier to Stella Glamour.

Passive

Luminal Synthesis - Unison

After casting Illuminous Epiphany, Jinhsi gains Unison (triggers once every 25s). While Unison is active, switching to another character removes Unison to simultaneously trigger Jinhsi's Outro Skill and the incoming character's Intro Skill

without requiring full Concerto Energy. When Concerto Energy is full, Unison is consumed before Concerto Energy.

Resonance Chain

Celestial Incarnate

★ Priority

After casting Intro Skill Loong's Halo, Jinhsi gains 12 Incandescence and 1 stack of Immortal's Descendancy (25% ATK per stack, max 2 stacks, lasts 20s). Since Loong's Halo opens every rotation, this effectively grants a permanent 50% ATK bonus during her active window.

Jinhsi is a 5★ Spectro Broadblade Main DPS in Wuthering Waves. The best build is Ages of Harvest with the 5-piece Celestial Light echo set, using Jué as the main echo.

At Level 90, aim for 15000+ HP, 1250+ DEF, 2000-2400+ ATK, 65-80%+ CRIT Rate, 210-280%+ CRIT DMG, 100-125%+ Energy Regen and 60-90%+ Spectro DMG Bonus.

Best Weapons

by calculated performance

Ages of Harvest

R1Best

Jinhsi's Signature and best weapon, providing her with high ATK, CRIT Rate and Skill DMG%. A simple blend of stats for a simple yet very clear damage increase.

100.0%

Kumokiri

Very high CRIT Rate, solid Base ATK and up to 16% Liberation DMG Bonus make this weapon the second best weapon Jinhsi has after her Signature.

87.9%

Wildfire Mark

Lupa's Signature Weapon is able to buff Resonance Liberation DMG by 24% easily, and on top of its good CRIT DMG and high Base ATK stats this makes it a viable choice for Jinhsi to buff her Ultimate's damage. She will not tend to extend this weapon's effect to gain Fusion DMG Bonus, however doing so can be considered in a team with Brant or Mortefi to get extra leverage out of this weapon's effects (which would not make it better than her Signature, but improve its performance a bit).

87.6%

Verdant Summit

Simple ATK, DMG Bonus and CRIT DMG stat-stick for Jinhsi, who does not benefit from this weapon's Heavy DMG-related effects.

86.9%

Radiance Cleaver

Best permanently available option for Jinhsi, which acts as a simple ATK and CRIT DMG stat-stick for her.

86.4%

Percentages show relative damage performance from calculations; some weapons bring un-quantifiable quality-of-life on top.

Best Echo Sets

5-Piece Sonata

Celestial Light

100%

Offers a 10% unconditional Spectro DMG% boost and an additional 30% Spectro DMG% after using the intro lasting 15 seconds for a grand total of 40% additional Spectro damage for most of your damage window.

Jinhsi build summary

Ages of Harvest is the weapon to build around. Without it, Kumokiri, Wildfire Mark and Verdant Summit are the next picks, in that order. Aureate Zenith is the budget option.

On the Celestial Light set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Spectro DMG on the 3-cost, Spectro 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% > Resonance Skill DMG% > ATK.

The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S5 (+120% Liberation DMG), S6 (+45% Skill DMG) and S3 (+25% ATK). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Res. Skill → Intro Skill → Basic Attack.

Ascension needs 46× Elegy Tacet Core above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
