How to Get Changli in Wuthering Waves
Changli is a limited 5-star character, meaning she can only be acquired on her featured limited banner or rerun banners. If you miss her first appearance, your only option is to wait until she comes back around for a chance to snag her.
Wuthering Waves Changli Gameplay Overview
- Element: Fusion
- Weapon: Sword
- Rarity: 5-star
Changli is a DPS that can either be played as the primary on-field DPS or as a Hybrid DPS utilizing the buffs on her Outro Skill. She likes being paired with another Fusion character, and there are an abundance of available options at every budget level in the form of Chixia (free from start of game), Mortefi (generically good gacha 4-star), and Encore (strong standard banner 5-star).
Her combat style involves occasionally switching between dazzling grounded and mid-air fighting styles, and many of her abilities can be used while in mid-air, offering Changli some mobility in fights. Much of her kit counts as Skill DMG, so Skill DMG buffs are widely appreciated.
Since Changli’s Resonance Liberation has a long cooldown, the energy needs are lenient, allowing you to focus all-in on raw damage: mainly CRIT, ATK, and DMG Bonus stats. A general rule of thumb is the longer a cooldown is, the more time you have to gain energy over time, ultimately reducing requirements.
In terms of performance, Changli basically brings nothing but damage (either through DMG buffs or raw damage output) to the table, and her Sequences (duplicate copies) just add more damage to her attacks without altering the way she is played. She is simple enough to get the job done in good fashion, but has enough nuance in alternating between multiple parts of her kit to maximize her Forte Circuit usage that her fighting rarely feels boring.
Stats Worth Consideration
- CRIT Rate/DMG: For maximizing your damage in endgame
- ATK%: DMG% bonuses are abundant in Wuthering Waves, and you’ll have many sources of Electro damage from the mainstats of your echoes and buffs from teammates. ATK% is rarer in this game and diversifying buffs is good in most gacha games. In early game, you can neglect CRIT to focus on ATK%.
For any character devoted to building damage, it is important to prioritize a 1-to-2 ratio between CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. 1-3 ratios, while they may give dopamine through bigger Crit numbers, is actually less damage overall. Aim for 75;250 in most cases! (This is because C.DMG is displayed differently than other gacha games, where normally the extra 100% is not displayed but assumed)
