Best Qiuyuan Team Composition in Wuthering Waves

Qiuyuan is a 5★ Aero Sword Resonator introduced in Wuthering Waves 2.7. Known for his elegant yet technical playstyle, Qiuyuan excels as a Sub-DPS and team buffer who enhances the team’s overall Echo Skill damage. His kit centers around building “Swordster’s Soliloquy” and amplifying Echo Skill DMG, making him ideal for teams that depend heavily on Echo-based combat rotations.

Qiuyuan isn’t your typical sword fighter—he’s a supportive Sub-DPS who brings offensive buffs and smooth rotation synergy to Echo-heavy teams. His playstyle involves building up Swordster’s Soliloquy points (up to 600) to unlock stronger self and team buffs:

• 200 Points – Inkwash: Increases Energy Regen.
• 400 Points – Bamboo’s Shade: Boosts team Echo Skill DMG Bonus.
• 600 Points – Inksplash of Mind: Enhances his own Heavy Attack and personal damage.

In addition, his Resonance Liberation grants teamwide Crit DMG buffs, while his Outro Skill bestows a massive 50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification to the next character swapped in. This makes Qiuyuan an excellent bridge between off-field buffers and Echo-based DPS units.

Best Qiuyuan Team Compositions in Wuthering Waves

Qiuyuan fits best with characters who capitalize on Echo Skill damage multipliers and can maintain uptime during his Outro buff window. Because his support strength depends on who takes the field next, he works best with on-field Echo DPS characters rather than off-field ones.

Qiuyuan – Galbrena – Shorekeeper (Best Overall Team)

Team Role Overview:

Character	Role	Element
Qiuyuan	Sub-DPS / Buffer	Aero
Galbrena	Main DPS	Fusion
Shorekeeper	Healer / Support	Glacio

This is Qiuyuan’s signature team and currently his T0 composition in Wuthering Waves. Galbrena’s main damage revolves around her Echo Skills, perfectly syncing with Qiuyuan’s Outro buff, which grants +50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification.

Qiuyuan also raises her Crit DMG by 30% through his Liberation, stacking multiplicative bonuses that make Galbrena’s sustained Fire damage extremely powerful. Shorekeeper adds healing and defensive utility, enabling longer rotations without risk.

Rotation Example

1. Start with Qiuyuan’s Intro Skill to gain Circuit Energy quickly.
2. Build stacks with Enhanced Attacks until activating Bamboo’s Shade.
3. Use Resonance Liberation for team Crit DMG boost.
4. Swap out with Qiuyuan’s Outro Skill, sending Galbrena in with a 50% Echo DMG buff.
5. Let Galbrena handle her Echo rotations under Shorekeeper’s sustain.

Result: Consistent Echo bursts and safe rotations with sustained DPS uptime.

Qiuyuan – Phrolova – Cantarella (Balanced Synergy Team)

Team Role Overview:

Character	Role	Element
Qiuyuan	Sub-DPS / Buffer	Aero
Phrolova	Sub-DPS / Crowd Control	Glacio
Cantarella	Sub-DPS / Healer	Havoc

This setup revolves around synergistic Echo triggers. Qiuyuan and Cantarella both perform frequent Echo Skills, allowing Phrolova’s Hecate to coordinate attacks from off-field. This leads to a constant stream of multi-hit synergy and crowd control effects.

Phrolova’s abilities offer AoE freeze and stagger, setting up Qiuyuan’s combos safely. Cantarella functions as both a support and sustain unit, extending survivability while benefitting from Qiuyuan’s Outro buff when she takes the field.

Recommended Rotation

1. Begin with Phrolova to set up Hecate and initial freeze field.
2. Switch to Qiuyuan, build Forte energy, and apply Bamboo’s Shade.
3. Cast Outro Skill to transfer buffs to Cantarella.
4. Cantarella executes Echo Skill chain under boosted damage window.

Result: Layered Echo coordination and smooth transitions between all three sub-DPS units.

Qiuyuan – Mortefi – Shorekeeper (Budget-Friendly / C3 Setup)

Team Role Overview:

Character	Role	Element
Qiuyuan	Sub-DPS / Buffer	Aero
Mortefi	Main DPS	Fusion
Shorekeeper	Healer / Support	Glacio

This composition is a more accessible build for players without Galbrena or Cantarella. Mortefi’s defense reduction on his third attack amplifies total team damage, while Qiuyuan contributes his Echo Skill and Crit DMG buffs. Shorekeeper once again provides sustain and light grouping support.

The synergy between Mortefi’s DEF shred and Qiuyuan’s buffs gives a surprisingly strong burst window—especially when Qiuyuan’s Forte state triggers Inksplash of Mind, granting enhanced Heavy Attack chains.

Tips

• Equip Moonlit Clouds or Sierra Gale on Qiuyuan for flexible play.
• Prioritize Qiuyuan’s Forte Circuit for stronger sub-DPS uptime.
• Keep Mortefi on-field during Qiuyuan’s Outro buff for maximum burst DPS.

Qiuyuan – Galbrena – Phrolova (Pure Offense Team)

Team Role Overview:

Character	Role	Element
Qiuyuan	Support / Sub-DPS	Aero
Galbrena	Main DPS	Fusion
Phrolova	Sub-DPS / Off-field Damage	Glacio

This lineup forgoes healing for maximum offensive synergy. Qiuyuan and Phrolova both amplify Galbrena’s Echo-heavy output. Phrolova grants Heavy Attack bonuses to Qiuyuan, while Qiuyuan’s Outro boosts Galbrena’s Echo Skill DMG by 50%.

The result is a burst-heavy composition capable of deleting bosses but requires good dodging due to its lack of sustain.

How Qiuyuan Buffs His Team

Understanding his kit timing is key to making these teams work:

Ability	Team Impact
Resonance Liberation	+30% teamwide Crit DMG scaling with Qiuyuan’s Crit Rate.
Bamboo’s Shade	+Echo Skill DMG Bonus for all on-field allies.
Outro Skill	+50% Echo Skill DMG Amplification to the next character.
Inksplash of Mind (Forte)	Converts Heavy Attacks into Echo-like hits that trigger allies’ coordination effects (e.g., Galbrena’s Afterflame).

Team Synergy Tips

• Timing is everything: Qiuyuan’s Outro buff only benefits the next on-field unit. Always switch strategically after his Forte or Liberation ends.
• Avoid off-field damage dealers: His Echo Skill buffs don’t affect off-field abilities like Phrolova’s Hecate attacks.
• Echo Set Recommendations:
  • Law of Harmony for team Echo bonuses.
  • Moonlit Clouds for support builds.
  • Sierra Gale for personal DPS.

Qiuyuan thrives in Echo-centered team compositions, providing both multiplicative buffs and consistent sub-DPS output. His synergy with Galbrena stands unmatched, while Phrolova, Cantarella, and Mortefi offer versatile alternatives depending on your roster.

If you’re looking for a flexible Aero support who boosts team damage without overshadowing your main DPS, Qiuyuan is a must-pull Resonator in Wuthering Waves 2.7 and beyond.
