Getting this part right will make your Lingyang more powerful as an individual character so that you don't need to heavily relies on your Sub-DPS.

Here you can find the best Echo sets for Lingyang, sub stats, and alternative Sonata effects.

Best Echo Sets for Lingyang

Here is our recommendation on picking the best echo set for Lingyang:

Sonata Effect5x Freezing Frost
Cost Pattern4 3 3 1 1
4 Cost
[Main Stats]
Echeos: Lampylumen Myraid | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamerLampylumen Myriad
[Crit. Rate or Crit. DMG]
3 Cost
[Main Stats]
Any GLACIO Echo
[Energy Regen or GLACIO DMG Bonus]
1 Cost
[Main Stats]
Any GLACIO Echo
[ATK]

First and foremost we recommend the 5x Freezing frost sonata to boost Lingyang's Glacio DMG during his basic and heavy attack.

For the main echo (4 Cost) we highly recommend using Lampylumen with the main stats of either Crit. Rate or Crit. DMG. This will ensure you has massive damage burst during your attack.

For the (3 Cost) echoes, you can try getting 1 energy regen and 1 Glacio DMG Bonus main stats, or get the same main stats for both of your echo. Either way, these two stats will fit Lingyang very well.

Best Echo sub Stats

Tip: Sub stats are random, if you want to get all the 5 echo sub stats right you will need to farm a lot of echo. Try to aim for 3 correct sub stats, that will cut down some grind.

Here are our recommend sub stats for all echoes to use with Lingyang:

RankReason
1.Energy RegenYou should aim for a good amount of Energy Regen for Lingyang to quickly activate his resonance liberation.
2.Crit. Rate / Crit. DMGCrit. Rate and Crit. DMG should be your second priority after you get to a certain energy regen.
3.Basic Attack DMG%The third sub stats that you can keep is Basic Attack DMG%, this will make his BA stronger.
4.Resonance Liberation DMG BonusThis sub stats will boost the Lingyang liberation damage burst.
5.Resonance Skill DMG BonusThis is the fifth sub stats that you can keep in the echo, it will boost the skill DMG.
6.ATK%This sub stats is also good for boosting Lingyang attack.
7.Flat ATK, DEF, HPThese 3 sub stats are what called dead sub stats, you will mostly get it.

Alternative Sonata Effects

In case you don't want to use 5x Freezing Frost you can use this alternative sonata effects:

Freezing Frost + Lingering Tunes

This should be your early to mid game sonata only, once you manage to get 5 star freezing frost you should change to it immediately. 

Freezing Frost | Wuthering Waves3x Freezing FrostLingering Tunes | Wuthering Waves2x Lingering Tunes

This sonata effect fit well for Lingyang if you don't want to use the 5x Freezing frost, this will boost both Glacio DMG and Attack DMG.

Best Weapons for Lingyang

Here are our recommendation on picking the best gauntlet for Lingyang:

1. Abyss SurgesThis is the best 5 star gauntlet for Lingyang, it boost all the stats that Lingyang need when you hit the target with your resonance skill.
2. StonardThis is the best free to play gauntlet that you should use.  This weapon will boost both skill and liberation damage for Lingyang.
3. Hollow MirageThis weapon focus on improving both Offensive and Defensive for Lingyang after his liberation is released. It a very strong gauntlet that fit Lingyang well.
4. Gauntlets of NightThis is a good early game gauntlet for Lingyang, it help boost the overall ATK% when the intro skill.

Overall, if you have Abyss Surges for Lingyang, you simply has the best weapon for him.

But if you only have purple rarity gauntlet, try aiming for Stonard or Hollow Mirage since these are the only two gauntlet that fit him very well.

Lastly, you have Gauntlets of Night, this is the best starter weapon for Lingyang.

Lingyang Forte Priority

Here is our recommendation that you should priority when upgrading Lingyang forte:

Lingyang Forte Priority | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamer

Forte Circuit > Resonance Liberation > Intro Skill > Normal Attack > Resonance Skill.

The first priority when you upgrade Lingyang forte should be Forte Circuit, because when Lingyang's forte circuit is full he will gain ability to gain more basic attack damage.

The second priority for Lingyang is his resonance liberation then intro skill, these two forte is a great combo to boost even more overall damage.

This forte upgrade order will make your combo very powerful with extra damage continuously.

Lingyang Resonance Chain Priority

Lingyang Resonance Chain Priority | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamer

We think that Lingyang at S0 is already a good character overall, If you are a F2P players you are good to go. However if you aim to maximize Lingyang even more you can get S4 or S6 if you a whale.

Here are all Lingyang sequence from 1 to 6 details:

Best Team for Lingyang

Here is our recommendation team for Lingyang that will make your fight much better:

Characters: Lingyang | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamerLingyangCharacters: Sanhua | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamerSanhuaCharacters: Verina | Wuthering Waves - zilliongamerVerina / Baizhi

Having Sanhua as your Sub-DPS to help boost Lingyang damage and having Verina as a support for the team to make them overall stronger.

Character Rotation Order

Start with Verina ultimate than swap to Sanhua for a full combo to boost damage  for Lingyang.

Now with that damage boost you can rotate to Lingyang intro and start with his combo to output as much damage as possible than proceed to swap out into Sanhua again.

How to play Lingyang

Lingyang can be a pretty hard character to master because of his complicate combo chain which allows him to deal a lot more damage then normal basic attack.

You really need to learn how to use BA + Skill during resonance liberation for Lingyang to output better damage.

How to combo with Lingyang

There are several combos that you can use for Lingyang to output continuous damage to the enemies.

Abbreviation keyword:

  • BA: Basic Attack.
  • HA: Heavy Attack.
  • Res. Skill: Resonance Skill.
  • Res. Lib: Resonance Liberation.

BA + Res. Skill (Fast Forte Bar)

This basic combo will fill up Lingyang's Bar very quick, so that the Res. Liberation is longer.

BA 1 + BA 2 + BA 3 > Res. Skill  > BA 4 > Res. Skill > BA 5 > Res. Skill > Loop.

Loop means do the same combo again start from BA 1 + BA 2 + BA 3 > Res. Skill, until you get 100% Forte Bar.

BA + Res. Skill + Res. Lib (Liberation)

This is a combo that will output a lot of damage for Lingyang, but you should only use this combo when you have more then 40% on the Forte Bar.

BA 1 + BA 2 + BA 3  > Res. Skill > BA + 4 > Res. Skill > Res. Lib.

This is the best combo that allows Lingyang to output extremely high damage continuously but you need to be on correct timing every move.

Is Lingyang Good For You?

Lingyang is a unique character that is not most players favorite, but you can give him a try to see if he fit you or not.

Learning curve wise, Lingyang can take you quite some time to understand the character attack chain as well as his combo chain.

His S0 is also very powerful, so you only need to update all the forte, pick the right echo, and weapon, then you should be go with him.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Lingyang is a great damage dealer character that require good combat skill to see his true potential. He's a independent character that's not heavily relied on other character.
