To the despair of all who —like me— expended their Astrite reserves in theYinlinbanner,Wuthering Waves1.1 is set to feature the playable debut of both Changli and Jinhsi. And while the Magistrate of Jinzhou has leaked, revealing her role as a Spectro main DPS, what will be the role of her counselor and mentor?
To answer that and make the wait for her debut a little more manageable, here’s everything you need to know about Changli, including her role, release date, and a full breakdown of her set.
Is Changli a support or a DPS in Wuthering Waves?
According to her leaked set currently available on Hakushi, Changli will be a sword wielder, and a Fusion on-field main DPS focused on dealing massive Resonance Skill DMG. While in the field, she will also be able to trigger a handful of damage-oriented buffs.
If her kit is not changed, she will also be a great fit for double-Fusion DPS teams or those featuring Liberation sub-DPSs. The reason? Her ability to offer a 20% Fusion and 25% Resonance Liberation DMG buff through her Outro Skill.
Wuthering Waves Changli: Resonance Skill, Forte Circuit, and Inherent Skills explained
According to her leaked set, Changli’s Resonance Skill (Tripartite Flames) allows her to perform a series of slashes and an enhanced plunging attack. After performing it, she will then enter her True Sight state. Tripartite Flames can be performed up to two times in sequence.
Changli will also be able to enter True Sight after performing her basic attack 4 while both on the ground or airborne (yes, she can perform air combos). The state will last for 12 seconds and apply the following effects to her:
Her Flaming Vow Forte Circuit, on the other hand, allows Changli to perform an enhanced version of her Heavy Attack —called Flaming Sacrifice— by performing it while carrying four stacks of Enflamement. The damage of the move will be considered Resonance Skill DMG. You will be able to get Enflamement stacks by performing True Sight: Conquest, True Sight: Charge, and her Resonance Liberation. All of her Inherent Skills also revolve around Enflamement. You can check out their descriptions below, based on the values currently featured in Hakushi:
What about her Resonance Liberation?
As leaked on Hakushi, Changli’s Resonance Liberation (Radiance of Fealty), will allow her to perform a large Fusion AoE attack. The move will also grant her 4 stacks of Enflamement and allow her to enter her Fiery Feather state. Performing Flaming Sacrifice while in the state will grant her a 25% ATK boost.

As you can expect from a DPS, all of Changli’s Resonance Nodes are focused on adding to her damage. You can check out an overview of all of them below, based on the values showcased at Hakushi:
