Rotation Yangyang: Xuanling Wuthering Waves - Yangyang: Xuanling WuWa Rotation - Xuanling WuWa Rotation - Yangyang SP WuWa Rotation

Intro Skill - Skybound Feather: Xuanling always enters via her Intro (Main DPS), never first. Deals Havoc DMG, applies 1 stack of Havoc Bane and, through the "Azure Plume" passive, restores 1 Azure Plume (1/2).

Resonance Liberation - Hush of a Thousand Voices (Ult): Cast early since no buff depends on the Liberation's timing. The "One Life, One Blade" passive immediately applies the MAX stacks of Havoc Bane, fully activating the "Unbroken Vow" passive (+66% DMG on the target) for the whole combo. Restores 1 Azure Plume (2/2 = max) and puts Xuanling in Voice upon Voice: the Shadow of Xuanling will strike on the next Sword Stance Flow.

Resonance Skill - Sword Stance Flow: Feather: Melody depleted + Azure Sword Stance → switches directly into Feather Sword Stance (mandatory for the rest). The "Melody" passive restores 100 Melody (max); the +1 Plume is wasted since already at max. DMG counts as Heavy Attack, consumes 1 stack of Havoc Bane, and thanks to Voice upon Voice summons the Shadow of Xuanling (bonus hit counted as Heavy Attack).

Heavy Attack - Feather Sword Stance: Plumes at max in Feather Sword Stance → hold Normal Attack. Consumes all Azure Plume and automatically triggers Mid-air Attack - Feather Fall. Applies 2 stacks of Havoc Bane and grants two key buffs: "Streaming Storm" (+160% Crit. DMG on Havoc in Bloom / Feather Fall, 15s) and "Hark the Wind" which unlocks Havoc in Bloom. ⚠️ FEATHER version mandatory: the Azure version (cyclone) does not unlock Havoc in Bloom.

Basic Attack - Havoc in Bloom (aerial, I → II → III): Replaces the basic attack in Feather Sword Stance while "Hark the Wind" is active. 3-hit combo counted as Heavy Attack, boosted by Streaming Storm (+160% crit) and by "Feathered Oath" (up to +150% Crit. DMG). Havoc in Bloom Stage 3 consumes Streaming Storm: it's your biggest hit, save it for last.

Basic Attack combo: Consumes the remaining Melody for Havoc DMG (Basic Attack Stage 4 also applies 1 stack of Havoc Bane). If Melody is not fully depleted when your attacks land, the "Accelerated Energy Regen" (+20% Energy Regen) passive activates → Ult available sooner for the next cycle.

Resonance Skill - Sword Stance Flow: Azur: We need to use the skill twice in a rotation to manage the game mode cycle

Echo: Trigger the Echo for extra Havoc DMG.

Outro Skill - As the Wind Wills: Swap to deal 300% ATK as Havoc DMG and boost the next Resonator: applying Havoc Bane Amplifies their Havoc DMG by 20% for 20 seconds (Tonal Switch).

Many other rotations exist, often longer (weaving Dodge Counters - Havoc in Bloom under Streaming Storm, successful Dodge procs that consume 50 Melody, multi-stance loops, etc.). This one is theoretically the most optimal while remaining the easiest to execute: Sword Stance Flow: Feather switches DIRECTLY into Feather Sword Stance, then Heavy Attack - Feather Sword Stance deals damage and triggers Mid-air Attack - Feather Fall, which unlocks both Havoc in Bloom AND Streaming Storm (+160% crit). You thus stay in Feather Sword Stance from start to finish. If you improvise, you switch back to Azure Sword Stance too often, and there is NO Havoc in Bloom combo in Azure - it only exists in Feather. Key point: Havoc in Bloom must stay AFTER the Heavy Attack to benefit from Streaming Storm, and Feathered Oath / Unbroken Vow mostly build up when an ally applies Havoc Bane, hence the reliance on a Havoc Sub-DPS to stack +crit up to 150%.
