Best Echo Stats for Jinhsi Wuthering Waves

To maximize Jinhsi’s Spectro bursts and smooth out her cooldown-focused rotation, you’ll need a good stat spread that balances critical damage and energy flow.

Substat Priority

CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG ≥ Energy Regen > Resonance Skill DMG Bonus > ATK% > Flat ATK

This stat priority ensures Wuthering Waves Jinhsi build stays consistent across rotations, delivering empowered Spectro Skills while keeping her Incandescence states tightly looped. Aim for a solid 1:2 CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG ratio (e.g., 65% CRIT Rate with 130% CRIT DMG) to maintain burst potential, especially during her second state Skill.

Tip: If you use the Celestial Light Echo set, Spectro DMG stats become even more effective, especially during intro-triggered buffs.

Best Echo Set for Jinhsi Wuthering Waves

For Jinhsi, the clear standout is Celestial Light (5-piece), for Spectro characters who rely on burst damage through skills and intro synergy.

Celestial Light (5-piece)

Effect:

• +10% Spectro DMG at all times
• +30% extra Spectro DMG for 15s after using an Intro Skill

This set perfectly aligns with Jinhsi’s rotation, which always opens with her Intro. The timing guarantees that her enhanced Resonance Skills and even her ultimate benefit from the full 40% Spectro DMG.

Best Main Echo: Jué

Echo	Effect
Jué	Grants +16% Resonance Skill DMG for 15s, perfectly matching Jinhsi’s enhanced state window. Constant Spectro DoT helps build Incandescence stacks off-field. Unlike transformation Echos, Jué acts as a summon — keeping rotations smooth and uninterrupted.

The best choice for Jinhsi’s 4-cost slot is Jué, for its ability to maintain uptime and empower her strongest attacks.

Best Team Compositions for Jinhsi

Building around Jinhsi means embracing fast swap rotations, Resonance Skill buffs, and Incandescence stacking. The best teams complement her Spectro damage, reduce field time interruptions, and amplify her burst windows with coordinated Outro synergy.

Meta Team

Zhezhi helps build Forte stacks without hogging field time, while Verina maintains buffs and sustain. If Verina isn’t available, The Shorekeeper can substitute for more Crit-based team-wide buffs.

Skill Priority

• Forte Circuit: This is your top priority. It governs the empowered “Illuminous Epiphany” skill, which is Jinhsi’s biggest damage dealer. Level it first for maximum payoff during burst windows.
• Resonance Liberation: Jinhsi’s Ultimate packs massive Spectro AoE and enhances her overall damage output. It’s second in line but essential, especially if you run Energy Regeneration gear.
• Resonance Skill: This skill is how you enter Incarnation and start your damage loop. Upgrading it improves overall flow and consistency but doesn’t hit as hard as the above two.
• Intro Skill: Useful mostly for initiating rotations and building Incandescence stacks quickly. A solid upgrade once your core kit is strong.
• Basic Attack: Low priority. Jinhsi barely uses her standard attacks outside her enhanced combo chain. Upgrade this last or leave it alone altogether.

Conclusion

So, when it comes to her potential she’s seriously effective. Even without her Ultimate, Jinhsi can outpace many other DPS options with tight execution. You can build a strong team around her with sub-DPS like Zhezhi or Yinlin!
