[WuWa] Yuanwu Main's Review. Is Yuanwu Really The Worst Character In Game?

[@PatrickStar-me8fp]

Gotta love how Kuro games made each character have their own unique mechanics especially on the four stars! I love seeing the community just having their own mains, wether it'd be Chixia, Yangyang, Danjin, Alto, Yuanwu and so on. ❤

[@realrahzz]

Yeah.. I agree with you..

[@Sanakil]

Hello, I noticed that you may be losing a large amount of DPS when using Yuanwu, so I wish to help, if possible. When you switch to Yuanwu, and you are intending to keep him on field to do DPS, you should, in under no circumstance, use his Forte (Hold E), for if you do so, you will be missing out on his first Ascension buff that grants him a very large damage multiplier by maintaining his Forte maxed out. Instead, when you do keep him on field, try to do the following rotation: E -> Ultimate to detonate totem (about 2s animation) - 1s cooldown > E - weave attacks for 3 seconds > repeat the process until the 10 seconds of infusion is over, and only then should you activate the forte and detonate your totem. By doing this, you will also be liable for your level 70 Ascension passive, which automatically drops a totem when you leave the field, it also helps with concerto energy. Afterwards, only return to Yuanwu once his Readiness is fully stacked again via your team's coordinated attacks. Give it a try, let me know how you like it :) As for the attack rotation itself, I like heavy attack into immediate thunderwave, but I've yet to test out other rotations. Have fun!

[@realrahzz]

I would definitely keep it in mind. And try out the next time fs.

[@realrahzz]

I just checked, Ascension passive 1 only increases the one instance of damage that his skill does when the forte bar becomes full. It doesn't increase the co-ordinated attacks.

[@Sanakil]

@@realrahzz Indeed, hence you wanting to keep the forte up while you're on field, and remove it once you want to leave. Which is why having those 10-13 second rotations on him is ideal. Skipping on a 40% DEF multiplier is a big deal :)

[@realrahzz]

I tried your rotation as well. It's pretty good too. It requires a lil bit more er as I was not able to get the ultimate back up for every rotation.

[@Sanakil]

@@realrahzz Ah, my Yuanwu isn't particularly invested as of yet, so I use the 3* voyager's gauntlets. With those weapons, I've personally never had that issue. Perhaps the same can be said with Marcatto. However, maybe if you do have the Amicable Accord gauntlets, it might be ideal to either get ER substats, or use an ER mainstat piece, but this is another matter entirely, and will require some calculations that I have not done, and probably will never do since I am losing my inclination to continue my journey in this game.

[@DaemonKingOberon]

I use him as a main DPS sometime. At S5 he can solo this fight. I’m glad that all the characters in this game are good.

[@realrahzz]

Yeah, so far all of them are viable with varying investment requirement.

[@FarookKMOON]

He used to have Yinlin's spot in the team with Calcharo 😅 I'm still gonna try to build him in that full electro dps without verina when I get better at dodging cause I like him more

[@realrahzz]

Haha. Fair enough..

[@IndividuumNot]

ive been semibuilding yuanwu because i like his playstyle and design quite alot. hes just lvl 50 though with lvl 50 amity accord. i gave him a moonlit with def wherever i could and that already brings me to almost 2k def. i obviously lose out on alot of crit and lightning scaling. not sure what would be optimal in the end. i like that yuanwu yinlin team but here me out: i think yuanwu can become one of the better if not one of the best sub dps choices for jinshi in 1.1. enabling more onfieldtime for jinshi, getting yuanwus concerto just from his pillar while being offield and abusing his breakbar dmg and coordinated attacks to collect incandescance stacks for her. sure, he doesnt buff her like other resonators will but the choices arent great for that either. we have sanhua who ends up being a bad choice now with the buffs to jinshi making her basic attacks count as skill damage while incarnated, taoqi sounds amazing with the skill deepen but i just dont see the rotation/playstyle being smooth enough to feel good/be worth, spectro rover (which will be c6 with 1.1) giving cc field from outro, burst, small healing on ult and spectro res shred (will not help with stacking jinshis forte at all though because both are spectro), yinlin or mortefi will probably be her best choices if i would have to guess but id rather have my yinlin stay in my calcharo team and mortefis outro is a complete waste on jinshi (time will tell how much heavy damage comes from her rotation since in her final form her basic is a special heavy but i dont think itll add alot) so thats why i feel like yuanwu will really have a nother team once jinshi hits us!

[@realrahzz]

I stopped reading after I saw mention of dreams in your message. Fyi, Yuanwu doesn't generate concerto off field. He only generates Forte circuit.

[@oldsoulbiz3526]

Yuanwu is a blast to play. So much fun.

[@realrahzz]

@oldsoulbiz3526 Aye, he's fun fr.. Figuratively, I was left shocked and in awe.

[@mariandumitru4469]

Man you were right, came here cuz I wanna build him for jinshi😂

[@IndividuumNot]

would you mind making an indepth guide for yuanwu btw? would highly apreciate that

[@realrahzz]

I would love to but I will be heading out of state to attend a marriage in couple of days. As such, I won't be abel to make it in time. This video basically covers his basics like playstyle, 2 F2p weapons, 3 echo sets etc. If you've any query kindly drop a message, I will help you to my best ability.

[@willrevillame3288]

Hey man, can you make a showcase without Yinlin? I find it hard to distinguish where the damage is coming from due to the punishment mark. It would be really nice if you could showcase him without her.

[@realrahzz]

Of course.. I'll do that next.

[@Godsthetics]

Reason number 6: We're about to get Jinshi... the end.

[@realrahzz]

Susge..

[@gebbygebbers]

Here I am with a blotched team of yuanwu S4, changli and verina S0. Guy is the best sub-dps I could have ever asked for, I'm a spammy click click no strategy kinda player, he and changli really taught me the basics of sequence attacks lmaoo I also got xiangli yao built at C0 on max skills, level and weapon... but so far, yuanwu C4 still takes the cake.

[@trespeon6797]

When everyone can get to 90 he will outscale the other characters due to his insane base stats. Pre 90 he is a little worse.

[@realrahzz]

Fingers crossed..

[@HonestOtaku98]

What if I have him at c6 with R4 weapon. Would he be a better teammate then Sanhua? For my yinlin. Who's c1.

[@realrahzz]

Wait for 1.1. Let's see how the new characters are. Save resources for now.

[@HonestOtaku98]

@@realrahzz thanks that makes alot of sense senee.

[@joelang3217]

Calling out the wuwa community! Can anyone pls tell me if theres is an objectively worst dps? I've been playing chixia as my sole dps, but I've been hearing rumours that yangyang is worse. I'm trying to make the overworld a little more exciting, and I really need suggestions.

[@jtho8937]

Do you plan to do Gauntlet only vs Hologram Crownless?

[@realrahzz]

I will definitely try my Yuanwu Yinlin team once I'm back home.. Currently traveling, as such unable to access my computer. As for Gauntlet only team, I am lacking those characters except Yuanwu.

[@jtho8937]

@@realrahzz Sure, no problem.

[@KecoakBanjar]

Which one better on echo 3, defence or electro damage?

[@realrahzz]

If you want him to a bit damage then go with electro if you have him C4 and want him for his shield then go with Def. Personally, I would go with electro only.

[@xanthee_imr]

At 2:24 giving your coordinated damage numbers without mentioning whether you have S3 or not is misleading, since it’s such a ridiculous buff for those

[@realrahzz]

Fair enough. Tho my intention with this video is not damage showcase but the pros and cons of using him. As such, I hope you were able to understand a thing or two.

[@xanthee_imr]

@@realrahzz yeah it was useful, thank you for sharing your insight

[@realrahzz]

You're most welcome. I am glad it was worth of your time.

[@Li_Quid8]

Would you still recommend him? i kept getting this guy dupes and now at max. I need a second team w a decent shatter speed?

[@realrahzz]

He's the best right now at breaking shields. Tho, keep in mind the overall team Dps would be low if he's in team as of current state of the game.

[@Li_Quid8]

@@realrahzz got it thanks

[@manyblock4192]

if u have Jinshi, he best sub for her, easily trigger coordinate attack for Jinhsi Forte

[@Li_Quid8]

@@manyblock4192 yes I'm 3 pulls away from her banner xD hopefully And I'm building yuanwu right now so far he's doing alright

[@manyblock4192]

@@Li_Quid8 he work amazing for Jinhsi, other characters need either full Forte or Liberation which takes time to trigger while Yuanwu simply just press skill and Jinhsi have permanent Forte battery since Yuanwu Skill only have 3CD lmao Using him on Tower with lvl 1 and works like magic, now I'm upgrading him for Jinhsi since that

[@mrchubzdathird5449]

Also, I personally use marcato its real good But I don’t have the Amity Accord 😭

[@realrahzz]

Marcato is fine, yeah. I didn't wanted add gacha weapon in the video.

[@hieuvuong8409]

Can I play him with low lever ? I mean I will use heal set on him and let him on field just for break boss shield ? is lever important in this role ?

[@realrahzz]

It's possible if you want to use him that way. However, keep in mind he gets his most def base stats from leveling up.

[@hieuvuong8409]

@@realrahzzin that role, I guess that his def is not so important ? am I right

[@realrahzz]

They have mentioned that during his infused state he does more damage to vibration meter. However, Idk if that extra damage scales with Def or not since it's not mentioned. If that damage scales with Def then we need Def, if not then I recon you don't.

[@Anjocally]

Yuanwu seems cool. Hopefully defense scaling characters will get a buff in the future.

[@realrahzz]

Prayage..

[@strange_editor]

NGL but pair him w yinlin and jianxin and u legit decimate the enemy vibration meter in less then 5 seconds if u time jianxin ult and nail the exact rotation of the char only downside is yinlin as a main dps is causing trouble in tower of adversity

[@realrahzz]

Jianxin is the character that I want to use my 5 star character selector on. I still haven't done it yet coz the resources are so scarce and I don't want her to sit and collect dust.

[@strange_editor]

@@realrahzz she currently is the best vibrational breaker unit in the game currrently w her ults plus she is fun to use plus better then mortefei imo

[@realrahzz]

Ah, I see..

[@MikaaWoo]

Subbed :3 hoping for more of these!

[@realrahzz]

Thank you! It means a lot to me. I will definitely do more of useful and showcase videos.

[@avndd_s]

i main him with spectro mc and verina. the constant armour break + timestop is the besttttt

[@realrahzz]

Seems interesting..

[@Zuw_1]

Yuanwu my main DPS too happy to see someone like Yuanwu too

[@realrahzz]

Of course.. Love punching the shit out of remnants.

[@Zzues]

What talents should be priority for him?

[@realrahzz]

Imo, Forte > Skill = Ultimate. And intro if you want. Basics not at all.

[@Zzues]

@@realrahzz Awesome, thanks! I do not seem to be doing any damage to the stagger bar, but assume thats because he is only level 70, but has like all low level echoes and talents >

[@realrahzz]

Majority of the stagger bar reduction happens with his intro and outro.. This reduction would be highly noticeable if you remove him and slot in anyone else.

[@Zzues]

@realrahzz I have noticed big chunks of the stagger bar being reduce on his outro and intro. I heard someone say his thunder infused state also drains stagger bar fast, but haven't seen that much increase.

[@realrahzz]

Yeah, it is stated in his forte circuit. Who knows maybe it also scales with level or something. EN translations are done poorly in this game, sadly.

[@MaidLeila90]

Soooo, did my last comment not show up or am I being ignored? :(

[@realrahzz]

Your comment didn't show up..

[@MaidLeila90]

@@realrahzz So KZbin shadow banned me. *sigh* I'll reword it: I mean, that's great and all, but what if I just really like dapper chaps with a metric ton of swag and have so much gigachad energy that they just punch everything to death? This guy took back the fedora for goodness' sake! That's reason enough to build him.

[@realrahzz]

@MaidLeila90 Ehe! I mean, that's why I main'ed him in the first place. Saw his lightening punches and I was like, "Yep, you've been adopted, as my father". Hehe!

[@Derael]

I kean, if he isn't the worst character in the game, then who is? Taoqi? The fact that you can't swap echoes or weapons to either of them from other characters is already a major issue, as you need different substat rolls on those 2 compared to almost everyone else.

[@realrahzz]

There would be more Def and hp scalers in future, imo.

[@Derael]

@@realrahzz There might be, but they won't necessarily be using the same sets as those two. My point was mainly that using those two characters right now is a major echo investment compared to alternatives, while their performance is actually a bit worse, so it's a bit sad. But if you got them at high sequence, then using them still makes total sense.

[@realrahzz]

@Derael yeah.. I can see your point.

[@samukovalskia.5967]

Is he better be sub or main dps??

[@realrahzz]

Better as sub Dps.. His Dps is quite low currently.

[@cmbb4531]

I only need 1 reason, his moves are cool.

[@realrahzz]

The reason why I started I became an Yuanwu main.

[@degamishiro123]

Jinshi mains suddenly add the 6th reason

[@realrahzz]

Yeah, true.. Now we can definitely add that.

[@akoSi94]

Im planning on building him next once i have enough resources!

[@realrahzz]

Stamina requirements for resource farming is too bad right now. Hopefully, you'll be having fun with him once he's built.

[@abdoupro-pz7by]

And don't forget that electro 3cost echo is painful to get electro DMG on their states

[@realrahzz]

I agree.. Buy those from the shop. You can get the special currency to purchase them by completing the hologram bosses and illusive realm, iirc.

why i dont build him 1. Lazy 2. Here for the ladies🤣

[@realrahzz]

Fair enough.. Haha!

[@kylenguyen9379]

Huge misinformation, Yuanwu don't need to be on field at all to build forte, he just need to have his pillar and the current character in it to build forte. Calcharo benefits heavily with interruption reisist and shields because he wants to complete all 3 of his combo finisher during ult . You also didn't mention that his hold E and his ult detonate the pillar for a hefty chunk of damage too, research better bro, this is disappointing as a "yuanwu main"

[@realrahzz]

Did I say he needs to be on field for forte energy or concerto energy? Timestamp please. Forte and concerto energy is different.. He can generate Forte energy off field when his pillar is up. But he needs to on field to generate concerto. I don't need to mention that his hold E and ult detonated his pillar. This is not a in depth Yanwu guide.

[@kylenguyen9379]

@@realrahzz Aight, my bad, confused between forte and concerto. You can't just leave out the main tool that he uses as a quickswap sub DPS ( the pillar explosion) and then call him worse than other sub DPS when he does pretty decent damage for a 4 star def scaling unit that's why i bring that up
