Danjin Overview

In Wuthering Waves, Danjin is a 4-Stars Havoc character and uses Sword during the fight.

A ranger of unwavering integrity, she possesses a resolute moral compass.
Her travels across the lands serve as a constant pursuit to deepen her understanding of the essence of good and evil.
Despite the lurking perils that lie in every corner of her path, she solemnly swears to purge the world of villainy.

Danjin Review

Danjin is a 4-Star Havoc character in Wuthering Waves.

High damage, low survivability. Among 4-star characters, Danjin has the highest overall damage output. The Resonance Chain benefits are the highest among 4-star characters.

With a smooth-damage output flow, a high Resonance Chain Danjin has damage close to or even surpassing low Resonance Chain 5-star characters. Danjin has the shortest attack animation lock in the entire game. In a single damage output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Heavy Attack account for approximately 45% and 42% respectively.

Danjin’s unique feature is that using Resonance Skill accumulates Forte Circuit Energy even if it doesn’t hit the enemy, thus in actual combat, the proportion of Heavy Attack damage will be higher.

Pros

  • Danjin has very high single-target damage, close to or even surpassing low Resonance Chain 5-star characters.
  • Danjin’s frequent, short animation-lock attacks make its operation extremely smooth.

Cons

  • Danjin consumes its own HP when using Resonance Skill, down to 1%, so without a shield, Danjin must be one-shot.
  • Although Danjin is not difficult to use, extreme caution is required in actual combat. A slight mistake can lead to death, and healing is meaningless for Danjin, resulting in a Simplicity score of only 1. Additionally, Danjin’s overly smooth output makes the damage boost from teammates less noticeable.

Danjin Team Comp

Danjin Best Team 

Morifei can provide a beneficial Heavy Attack Outro skill buff for Danjin, offering decent damage assistance. However, in practical combat situations, the effectiveness of Danjin’s Forte Circuit is limited due to the maximum of two uses within the 14-second duration of Morifei’s Outro skill buff.

In Morifei’s RC1 state, after activating Resonance Liberation, each use of Danjin’s Resonance Skill triggers Morifei’s synergistic attacks. Through actual testing, it has been observed that a single 3A3E combo from Danjin can trigger 8 consecutive synergistic attacks, surpassing even Jeiyan in terms of efficiency (in single-target environments).

Although Danjin does not require healing, the primary significance of a healer lies in prolonging the buffs from Sonata effect sets. Additionally, Virena’s inherent skill 2 provides a one-time “cheat death” effect, essentially granting an additional life.

Danjin Best Team 2

Taoqi’s role is to provide shields for Danjin, safeguarding him from being defeated by enemies when his health is critically low. Moreover, Taoqi can boost the damage of Danjin’s Resonance Skill, offering a significant damage support effect.

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.

More Build Guides

Yinlin

An Electro damage character with both support and DPS capabilities, Yinlin excels due to the ‘Punishment Mark’ damage type of her Forte Circuit, which is classified as Resonance Skill damage. In the context of the team’s rotation, Resonance Skill damage comprises approximately 50% of Yinlin’s total damage output. Her true value, however, lies not in the off-field coordinated ‘Punishment Mark’ damage, but rather in her effective Concerto Energy generation and the unique buff provided by her Outro Skill in the current version.

Jiyan

An Aero Damage DPS character, this hero relies on the Intro Skill to activate. Once the Resonance Liberation ultimate is initiated, Heavy Attacks contribute to approximately 90% of the total damage. Activating Resonance Liberation changes the attack mode, offering a larger attack range and the ability to suppress lightweight enemies.

The high attack frequency of the Lance of Qingloong allows for the quick activation of stacking Inherent Skills and Weapon Effects. When paired with Morfeti, it can deal exceptionally high total damage against multiple enemies.

Jianxin

Jianxin possesses comprehensive support abilities, providing shields, healing, and pulling enemies together. The range and intensity of the pull are currently the best in this version, although not yet excellent.

The Resonance Skill functions as a damage-immune defensive counter, making it very suitable for novice players who are unfamiliar with action games to tackle high-difficulty dungeons.

While Jianxin does have damage output capabilities, the multipliers are very low and it lacks burst methods.
