Character Mechanism
Yinlin is a 5-Star Character in Wuthering Waves.
Mechanism
Yinlin is a Electro damage character with both support and DPS capabilities. Due to the ‘Punishment Mark’ damage type of Forte Circuit being Resonance Skill damage, considering the team’s rotation, Resonance Skill damage accounts for about 50% of Yinlin’s total damage. Yinlin’s greatest value lies not in off-field coordinated ‘Punishment Mark’ damage but in her decent ability to generate Concerto Energy and her unique Outro Skill buff in the current version. The concept of Yinlin’s mechanism is as below :
Apply “Sinner Mark” to enemies by Basic Attack/Intro/Libeation → Charging “Judgement Points’ to 100 by Intro/Skill/Basic Attack → use Heavy Attack to upgrade all “Sinner Mark” to “Punishment Mark” → Switch to Main DPS → Additional Electro DMG dealt to enemies with “Punishment Mark” being hit
Pros
Yinlin’s Outro Skill provides a 25% Resonance Liberation DMG Deepen and 20% Electro DMG Deepen, making it the first Outro Skill with dual-type buffs. This means Yinlin can serve characters that focus on Resonance Liberation or Electro DMG. While the benefits are slightly lower compared to single-type Outro Skill buffs, it offers broader applicability.
Yinlin’s operations are relatively simple and easy to master, with the ability to cancel the Resonance Skill’s animation lock through dodging. In OBT, Yinlin’s intro skill can recover “Judgement Point”. This makes Yinlin easier to achieve full “Judgement Point”, thereby reducing on-field time.
Cons
As a limited character with a support-oriented role, Yinlin’s multipliers are not impressive. Even with a maxed-out resonance chain, her performance is only comparable to a 0+1 limited DPS character (Jiyan).

Character Team Comp
Main DPS – Calcharo
Yinlin’s Outro Skill perfectly complements Calcharo. During Resonance Liberation, Calcharo’s Liberation Damage and Basic Attack Damage are approximately in a 2:1 ratio. Yinlin also provides Resonance Liberation Deepen and Electro Damage Deepen.
Whether Yinlin is equipped with the Void Thunder set as a Sub DPS or the Moonlit Clouds set as a full support for Calcharo, both options are viable choices.
In the early stages, when resources are limited, you can choose the Moonlit Clouds set without investing too much in upgrading Echoes. In the later stages, when resources are abundant, using the Void Thunder set can significantly enhance the overall damage output of the team.
Healer – Verina/Baizhi
Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.
Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.
Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.
