Yuanwu is a 4-star Electro Resonator in Wuthering Waves. He is a decent damage dealer and can be used both on-field and off-field depending on the team. Unfortunately, he does not excel in either role and is easily outclassed by other units in the same attribute. Rovers can obtain one copy of Yuanwu for free by challenging the Tower of Adversity.

This article will guide you on how to build Yuanwu in Wuthering Waves. This includes his best Echo sets, lead Echo, weapons, team comps, and Forte priorities.

Here are some of the best teams for Yuanwu in Wuthering Waves 1.0:

  • Taoqi + Havoc Rover + Yuanwu
  • Yuanwu + Yinlin + Verina
  • Yuanwu + Yinlin + Taoqi

As mentioned earlier, Yuanwu can be used both on-field and off-field, but he doesn’t excel in either role and can be easily outperformed by other units. Therefore, he suffers from a lack of options to build a team around him.
