Suggested Resonance Chain
S1
This is yet another gamble-based Resonance Chain. Specifically, each time you cast Lucky Draw, Youhu has a 10% chance to gain a buff that lasts for 5 seconds. Once this buff is obtained, Youhu becomes invincible for 5 seconds—taking no damage, cannot be knocked back, and is immune to status effects.
Because Yuhu’s process of accumulating a full set of Concerto Energy is quite vulnerable to interruptions. But the probability… sigh.
S2
This effect doubles the damage boost when the Forte Circuit “Poetic Essence” creates buffs. The benefit is rather abstract, only around 4%-5%.
S3
This increases Youhu’s damage by about 9%, but the problem is that Youhu doesn’t really deal much damage.
S4
Yet again, it’s a gamble-based Resonance Chain. Activating the S4 for Youhu theoretically has the potential to output decent damage and healing. But then again, the probability is too low makes this RC unstable.
S5
This boost is decent. When Youhu use Intro Skill, she can gain a critical rate increase for up to 14 seconds. This increases Youhu’s damage by about 10%, but as always, the issue is that Youhu doesn’t deal much damage.
S6
When casting enhanced Basic Attack, a buff is gain which can stack up to 4, granting 60% critical damage, but it only lasts for 7 seconds. Unfortunately, Youhu herself doesn’t deal much damage. The main problem is that when you use Youhu as a support character in the team, in most cases, you can fill up Concerto with just 3 enhanced Basic Attacks, meaning you may not even reach the 4-stack buff before switching characters. Therefore, the 6-Chain effect only provides decent benefits—around 10%—if you use Youhu as a on field DPS for the team.

Sub Stats
For Echo Set, choose the Rejuvenating Glow set.
For 4-Cost Echo, select Fallacy of No Return or Bell-Borne Geochelone.
The main stat is recommended as healing effect. This is because Youhu’s healing output is not particularly outstanding, so when using her as a healer, choosing the healing effect main stat can effectively enhance the team’s survivability.
For the two 3-Cost Echo slots, you can choose Glacio Damage Bonus or ATK% as the main stat. The former increases Youhu’s damage, while the latter provides a slight increase in healing output.
Additionally, since Youhu’s ultimate has a cooldown of 25 seconds but only requires 100 Resonance Energy, Youhu does not need Energy Regen.
For the two 1-Cost Echo slots, select ATK% as the main stat.
The priority for substats is:
Crit Rate/Crit Damage > ATK% > Resonance Skill Damage Bonus > Flat Attack
Youhu Best Weapons Damage Comparison
The percentage change in damage output is compared to the weapon designated as 100%.
Base ATK : 337
Secondary Stats – Energy Regen : 51.8%
When Resonance Skill is cast, restores 8/10/12/14/16 Concerto Energy. This effect can be triggered 1 times every 20s.
Base Attack : 587
Secondary Stat – Crit Rate : 24.3%
Gain 12%/15%/18%/21%/24% Attribute DMG Bonus. When using Resonance Liberation, the wielder gains 48%/60%/72%/84%/96% Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus for 8s. This effect can be extended by 5s each time Resonance Skills are cast, up to 3 times.
Base Attack : 587
Secondary Stat – ATK : 36.4%
Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%/16%/19.2%/22.4%/25.6%. When hitting a target with Resonance Skill, increases Basic Attack DMG Bonus by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20%, lasting for 8s. When hitting a target with Basic Attacks, increases Resonance Skill DMG Bonus by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20%, lasting for 8s.
Base Attack : 462
Secondary Stat – ATK : 18.2%
Casting the Resonance Skill grants 6/7/8/9/10 Resonance Energy and increases ATK by 10%/12.5%/15%/17.5%/20%, lasting for 16s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.
Base Attack : 412
Secondary Stat – Crit Rate : 20.2%
Casting Resonance Skill increases the wielder’s Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus by 18%/27%/36%/45%/54%, lasting for 15s.
For weapons, the top recommendation is the Concerto Weapon – Marcato. Youhu’s base Concerto Energy generation is relatively slow, so having a Concerto weapon makes her rotation much smoother. If Marcato is not available, other weapons are more or less similar in effectiveness.
Xiangli Yao’s Signature Weapon > Permanent 5-Star Weapon > Celestial Spiral ≈ Stonard.
Any damage increase, no matter how small, is still a benefit.
Youhu Team Comp
Youhu Best Team 1
DPS – Zhezhi and Sahua
Sanhua can provide a Basic Attack DMG Deepen buff for Zhezhi, while Zhezhi can offer a Glacio DMG and RS DMG Deepen buff for Sanhua, mutually enhancing each other.
Healer – Youhu
As a character capable of healing the entire team, Youhu lacks any buff even within her Resonance Chain. The Outro Skill buff, which provides 100% coordinated attack damage amplification and doesn’t disappear when switching characters.
Youhu Best Team 2
Main DPS – Yinlin
As a character capable of healing the entire team, Youhu lacks any buff even within her Resonance Chain. The Outro Skill buff, which provides 100% coordinated attack damage amplification and doesn’t disappear when switching characters.
Healer – Shorekeeper
In addition to providing the traditional 15% All DMG Deepen like other healers, Shorekeeper’s Liberation can offer continuous healing, crit rate, and crit damage, making it very powerful. The Outro Skill’s buff allows knocked-back teammates to immediately recover from the interruption.

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.
