Wuthering Waves · 4★ Resonator
"Cryogenic Wonders" The antique appraiser famous for her rhymes
Youhu is a chatty, whimsical antique appraiser who sets up a street stall and brings antiques to owners who will truly value them; she embellishes her appraisals with rhymes made up on the spot. This 4★ Resonator from Chongzhou wields Gauntlets with the Glacio element. With every Lucky Draw she pulls a random Antique, appraises it to collect Auspices, unleashes them with Poetic Essence and heals the whole team. Her Outro Skill amplifies the next character's Coordinated Attack DMG by 100% for 28 s, so she shines as both healer and support in teams built around Coordinated Attacks.
Youhu is a 4★ Resonator who joined the game in the second half of Version 1.3 (October 24, 2024). As a 4★, she can drop from every standard and limited Convene banner; her drop rate increases noticeably when she is among the featured 4★ characters on limited banners. There is no permanent way to get her for free; you need to pull her again and again to complete her Sequences.
2-piece: Healing Bonus + 10%.
5-piece: Increases the ATK of all party members by 15% for 30s upon healing allies.
Every time Youhu heals the team, the whole team's ATK increases by 15% for 30 s; the most efficient set for a support who heals often.
2-piece: Energy Regen + {0}.
5-piece: Upon using Outro Skill, increases the ATK of the next Resonator by 22.5% for 15s.
If you want to focus on energy and her Outro, a good alternative with the Energy Regen from the 2-piece and the 5-piece effect that gives the next character 22.5% ATK.
Bell-Borne Geochelone
Its Echo Skill sets up a shield that gives the team 50% damage reduction and a 10% damage increase; since it can be used with the Rejuvenating Glow set, it reinforces Youhu's role of keeping the team alive.
Youhu's healing scales with ATK; first raise Energy Regen to around 150%, then load up on ATK. Crit stats only add to her personal damage, so they are low priority.
The standard banner's 5★ Gauntlets. Its 36.5% ATK main stat at Lv 90 boosts her healing, and the 12.8% Energy Regen passive helps with the energy target.
The best 4★ option: With a 51.8% Energy Regen main stat and an 8 Concerto Energy refund on Resonance Skill, you pass on her Outro much more often.
A 4★ that grants 6 Resonance Energy and 10% ATK for 16 s on Resonance Skill (once every 20 s); a balanced choice between energy and healing.
A 4★ with a 30.4% ATK main stat; the Iron Armor stacks it grants after the Liberation raise ATK and DEF, but they decrease as she takes damage.
An easy-to-get 3★ option; it gives a 24.3% ATK main stat and 8% ATK for 10 s after an Intro Skill.

Performs a four-hit Glacio combo; Basic Attack hits grant Frost. Holding Basic Attack while Frost is not full enters Fortune Rolling to fill Frost, while holding it when Frost is full unlocks the forward-dashing Frostfall and performs a Lucky Draw. A Dodge Counter performed with no Antique in hand also triggers a Lucky Draw.
Youhu brings her scroll down on the enemy, dealing Glacio DMG, healing the whole nearby team and performing a Lucky Draw. The drawn Antique turns her next Basic Attack into Chime (reduces Vibration Strength), Ruyi (high multiplier), Ding (breaks stance) or Mask (pulls enemies in); she can only carry one Antique at a time.
She collects Auspices as she appraises Antiques; once she reaches four Auspices, holding Basic Attack unleashes Poetic Essence, which counts as Resonance Skill DMG, and heals the team. Extra effects depend on the combination: Four different ones reduce Vibration Strength, a pair raises damage by 70%, three identical Auspices by 175%, two pairs provide extra healing, and four identical ones combine these effects.
Youhu throws her scroll to create a Glacio explosion in the area. Pick one of the four buttons that appear in the explosion within the time limit to get the Antique you want; if you do not choose, a random one comes. Ideal for completing a missing Auspice combination.
Throws her scroll on entry and performs a Lucky Draw. Thanks to the Rare Find passive, she then gains 15% Glacio DMG Bonus for 14 s.
The next character's Coordinated Attack DMG is Amplified by 100% for 28 s. Since the buff lasts long, passing it to sub DPS characters whose Coordinated Attacks keep going after they leave the field is the most efficient.
When an Antique Appraisal attack is used, the whole nearby team is healed again for 30% of the Scroll Divination heal. Extra healing flows to the team as she appraises Antiques.
Using the Intro Skill Scroll of Wonders grants Youhu 15% Glacio DMG Bonus for 14 s. This is why opening her own damage window with the Intro is more efficient.
When the target's Off-Tune level is full, Youhu can perform the Gauntlets-specific Tune Break attack. A shared mechanic that opens an extra damage window on the staggered enemy.
As a 4★, her Sequences build up over time as you pull on banners. The most valuable are S3 (20% ATK), which directly boosts her healing, and S4, which gives a chance to reuse Scroll Divination without a cooldown.
After a Lucky Draw, she has a 10% chance to become immune to damage and interruption for 5 s (or until she leaves the field).
The damage bonuses of Antithesis, Triplet and Perfect Rhyme in Poetic Essence are doubled.
Youhu's ATK is permanently increased by 20%; this boosts both her damage and her healing.
Each time Scroll Divination is used, there is a 20% chance it does not go on cooldown; that means more frequent healing and Lucky Draws.
Crit. Rate increases by 15% for 14 s after the Intro Skill.
Each Antique Appraisal grants a Sky Blue stack (up to 4, lasts 7 s); each stack increases Crit. DMG by 15%.
Youhu's Outro amplifies Zhezhi's Coordinated Attacks by 100% for 28 s; these attacks grant Jinhsi Incandescence, and Zhezhi's Outro raises Jinhsi's Resonance Skill DMG.
Youhu passes her Outro to Mortefi; the Marcatos that Mortefi fires off Jiyan's hits are amplified by 100%, and Mortefi's Outro boosts Jiyan's Heavy Attack DMG.
Xiangli Yao
Yinlin
Youhu
Yinlin's Judgement Strikes are Coordinated Attacks, so she gets full value from Youhu's Outro; Yinlin's Outro also amplifies Xiangli Yao's Electro and Liberation DMG.

As a 4★, Youhu can drop from every Convene banner; her drop rate increases when she is among the featured 4★ characters on limited banners. There is no permanent way to get her for free.
As a support and healer, 5-piece Rejuvenating Glow is the best; every time she heals the team, the whole team's ATK increases by 15%. Use Bell-Borne Geochelone as the main Echo.
She has no signature weapon; the best option is the standard 5★ Abyss Surges. On the 4★ side, Marcato stands out with its Energy Regen, and Celestial Spiral and Hollow Mirage also do the job.
Her Outro only amplifies Coordinated Attack DMG, so it should be passed to characters who perform Coordinated Attacks, like Zhezhi, Yinlin, Mortefi or Yuanwu. That is why she shines most in Coordinated Attack heavy teams like Jinhsi + Zhezhi.
In the right team she is a good 4★ healer: She keeps the team alive while giving Coordinated Attack teams a strong buff. However, since Antiques come at random, her performance can fluctuate, and in teams without Coordinated Attacks her Outro goes to waste.
To ascend her you need Topological Confinement from Fallacy of No Return, Violet Coral and the Ring series. Her skills use the Cadence series (from Seed to Blossom), Rings and Monument Bell, the weekly material dropped by Bell-Borne Geochelone.
