Her Electro-buffing Outro Skill further enhances her damage potential, especially when paired with the standard 5-star Electro character, Calcharo. To be among the first to add Yinlin to your roster, mark your calendars with our Wuthering Waves 1.0 Phase 2 countdown here!

Wuthering Waves 1.0 Phase 2 Banners
Yinlin’s Resonator Convene event “When Thunder Pours” will be accompanied by a trio of 4-star characters and her signature 5-star weapon!
To sum up, below are the characters and weapons set to receive increased drop rates in 1.0 Phase 2:
- Character Event Convene
- 5-star:
- Yinlin: Electro / Rectifier
- 4-stars:
- Taoqi: Havoc / Broadblade
- Aalto: Aero / Pistols

- 5-star:
Of the 4-star characters, Taoqi and Yuanwu stand out with their synergy with Yinlin. Taoqi shines as Sub DPS due to her Basic Attack-oriented gameplay, which takes full advantage of Yinlin’s Sin Binding Mark debuff. If you don’t have Calcharo, Yuanwu is a great alternative Electro Main DPS. His abilities benefit greatly from Yinlin’s Outro Skill, which enhances Electro damage, creating a strong offensive duo.
Yinlin can excel in both Sub DPS and Main DPS roles, but her choice of weapon, echo set, and teammates will vary depending on your preferred playstyle. Be sure to take a look at our Yinlin build guide and materials farming guide so you can hit the ground running when her banner drops!
Shortly following the end of 1.0 Phase 2 on July 2, players can look forward to Version 1.1, set to bring the much-anticipated debut banners of the revered Magistrate of Jinzhou, Jinhsi, and her mentor, Changli.
