Lingyang is a 5★ Glacio Gauntlets Main DPS in Wuthering Waves. The best build is Moongazer's Sigil with the 5-piece Endless Resonance echo set, using Mech Abomination as the main echo. The strongest team is Lingyang with Sanhua and Baizhi (glacio carry). At Level 90, aim for 15000+ HP, 1150+ DEF, 2100-2500+ ATK, 60-80%+ CRIT Rate, 215-260%+ CRIT DMG, 120-125%+ Energy Regen and 40-70%+ Glacio DMG Bonus.

Best Weapons
by calculated performance1
Moongazer's Sigil
R1BestIuno's Signature is Lingyang's best choice by virtue of its really high CRIT Rate boost, its good ATK stats, and its 36% Liberation DMG DEF Ignore and 20% DMG Bonus effects which can fully apply to Lingyang's initial Ultimate cast. In other words, the CRIT and ATK stats are great for Lingyang and it makes his initial Ultimate cast damage go way up, which makes it the best choice.
106.2%
2
Blazing Justice
R1Zani's Signature offers high ATK, CRIT DMG and 8% DEF Ignore for 6s when casting Basic Attacks, which is easily upkept throughout most of Lingyang's rotation. Overall a very strong generalist Gauntlets choice.
105.3%
3
Verity's Handle
R1High Base ATK, a good CRIT Rate stat, 12% Attribute DMG Bonus unconditionally and 48% Liberation DMG Bonus when casting Ultimate as well. Xiangli Yao's weapon provides lots of good stats, making it a highly competitive weapon choice for Lingyang.
104.2%
4
Tragicomedy
R1ATK and CRIT Rate stat-stick for Lingyang, who barely benefits from this weapon's Heavy Attack DMG-increasing effect (he does benefit from it on his Glorious Plunge attack, but it's not enough to make it rank above other limited weapon options).
103.0%
5
Abyss Surges
R1Lingyang's best permanently available Gauntlets choice. Increases Energy Regen which alleviates his requirements and also provides a huge amount of ATK. The Basic and Skill DMG increases are also quite useful on Lingyang, making it a very strong choice overall.

5-Piece Sonata
Endless Resonance
Offers a 10% unconditional ATK% boost and an additional 5% ATK% for every 1.5 seconds the equipped character has been actively on-field, up to 20% after 6 seconds, totalling 30% additional ATK% after fully ramped. This set is completely incompatible with quickswap playstyles, but for the hypercarry playstyle Lingyang will generally use, this is his best set by a small margin.

5-Piece Sonata
Frosty Resolve
This set grants permanent Resonance Skill DMG% and even bigger Glacio and Skill DMG increases when casting Skill and Liberation respectively. While the second Skill DMG boost is not upkept consistently by Lingyang, he does benefit from the stat and the Glacio DMG boost is additionally appreciated, making it his second best set and his best set that can be used in quickswap compositions.

Lingyang build summary
Moongazer's Sigil is the weapon to build around. Without it, Blazing Justice, Verity's Handle and Tragicomedy are the next picks, in that order. Aether Strike is the budget option.
On the Endless Resonance set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Glacio DMG on the 3-cost, Glacio 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% > ATK.
The Resonance Chain nodes worth pulling for are S6 (+100% Basic Attack DMG), S3 (+20% Skill DMG) and S4 (+20% DMG). Level Forte Circuit → Res. Liberation → Intro Skill → Res. Skill → Basic Attack.
Ascension needs 46× Sound-Keeping Tacet Core above everything else, and the full build — ascension plus every forte node — costs 2,200,000 Shell Credits.
