Hiyuki Build: Best Echoes, Concerto Mastery & Teams | Wuthering Waves
2026-04-28
Hiyuki is an upcoming 5-star Glacio and Sword resonator in Wuthering Waves 3.3 that specializes in Resonance Liberation DMG. This comprehensive Hiyuki build guide provides a complete character overview, DPS playstyle, best weapons, skill priorities, Echo sets, team compositions, and more.
Hiyuki Character Overview
 | Rarity | 5-star |
| Element | Glacio | |
| Weapon | Sword | |
| Role | Resonance Liberation Main DPS |
WuWa Hiyuki is a 5-star Glacio Sword resonator releasing in Version 3.3. She is the first premium Glacio Main DPS since Carlotta over a year ago.
Her gameplay revolves around cycling between two states, Present Self and Foreclaimed Self, to build up and release powerful charged attacks. Let's have a quick Hiyuki kit and Forte Circuit explained.
As Present Self, Hiyuki accumulates Dedication through her Basic Attacks, Resonance Skills, and Dodge Counters. After the gauge maxes out, she releases Frost Splinter: Present Self into Foreclaiming: Inward Vision, which shifts into her Foreclaimed Self form and kicks off her main damage cycle.
She charges up Frostheart and Whiteout Bitterfrost in this transformed state. Enough Frostheart activates Iai Stance, where repeated Iai casts build up to 3 Snowforged Blade stacks, all of which feed into her signature nuke, Foreclaiming: Blade Liberation. More stacks spent means a harder hit.
Hiyuki Release Date
Hiyuki is releasing in the first phase of Wuthering Waves 3.3 version. So, she will be available to pull from April 30, 2026, to May 21, 2026.
Hiyuki Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Why It Matters |
| Forte Circuit | ★★★★★ Top | The backbone of her kit. It drives Dedication and Frostheart buildup and gates Foreclaimed Self. It also powers her core attacks. |
| Resonance Liberation | ★★★★★ Top | Her biggest damage dealer via Foreclaiming: Inward Vision and Blade Liberation. |
| Basic Attack | ★★★★ High | A constant throughout her full rotation in both forms. It is used extensively in Present Self and Foreclaimed Self. |
| Resonance Skill | ★★★ Mid | Refuels Dedication and buffs Basic Attack Stage 3, which is helpful for keeping rotations fluid. |
| Intro Skill | ★ Low | Weak damage and minimal impact. |
Hiyuki Best Weapons
Hiyuki is a Glacio Main DPS who hits hardest through Resonance Liberation. When gearing her, focus on weapons that offer CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and ATK, with Glacio DMG or Resonance Liberation DMG bonuses as a strong plus.
Her signature weapon, Frostburn, is the clear best-in-slot. It increases Glacio Chafe DMG and allows her Resonance Liberation to cut through a portion of enemy DEF. Other than that, high ATK or CRIT-stat alternatives still hold up well for the WuWa Hiyuki build.
| Rank | Weapon | Base ATK | Bonus Stat | Weapon Effect |
| Best in Slot |  Frostburn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 587 | 24.3% CRIT Rate | +12% ATK; increases Glacio Chafe DMG by 28%, Resonance Liberation ignores 10% DEF, and amplifies Glacio Chafe DMG by 20% for nearby targets. |
| 5★ Alt #1 |  Blazing Brilliance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 587 | 48.6% CRIT DMG | +12% ATK; builds up to 14 Searing Feather stacks for +4% Resonance Skill DMG each, with 5 stacks gained instantly on Resonance Skill cast. |
| 5★ Alt #2 |  Emerald of Genesis ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 587 | 24.4% CRIT Rate | +12.8% Energy Regen; Resonance Skill cast grants +6% ATK, stackable twice for 10s. |
| 5★ Alt #3 |  Red Spring ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 587 | 24.3% CRIT Rate | +12% ATK; Basic Attacks build up to 3 stacks of +10% Basic ATK DMG; Concerto Energy consumption grants +40% Basic DMG Bonus for 10s. |
| 4★ Alt #1 |  Feather Edge ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 412 | 20.25% CRIT Rate | Resonance Liberation grants +7.2% ATK and +10.8% Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus for 15s. |
| 4★ Alt #2 |  Fable is Wisdom ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 462 | 18.23% ATK | Hitting debuffed enemies grants +4% ATK per second, stackable up to 4 times. |
Hiyuki Best Echo Set
Wishes of Quiet Snowfall is among the best Echoes for Hiyuki build in Wuthering Waves 3.3. Since most of her damage falls under Resonance Liberation, she consistently triggers the Snowfall effect for a massive +25% CRIT Rate increase. Besides that, Freezing Frost is a solid placeholder.
| Wishes of Quiet Snowfall (Best) | Freezing Frost (Alternative) | |
| Echo Set | 4-3-3-1-1 | 4-3-3-1-1 |
| 2-Pc Bonus | Glacio DMG +10% | Glacio DMG +10% |
| 5-Pc Bonus | Inflicting Glacio Chafe boosts Glacio DMG by +10% for 15s and triggers the Snowfall effect every 25s. While active, Resonance Liberation DMG consumes Snowfall to grant +25% CRIT Rate for 6s (extendable up to 6×). Using Outro Skill instead converts Snowfall into a +25% Glacio DMG Bonus for the next Resonator. | Basic/Heavy Attacks grant +10% Glacio DMG per stack, up to 3 stacks (15s each). |
| Main Echo | Version 3.3 4-Cost Echo — Deals Glacio DMG 6 times; grants +12% Glacio DMG Bonus & +12% Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus. (CD: 20s) | Lampylumen Myriad — 3-hit Glacio combo (200% + 200% + 267%); each hit stacks +4% Glacio DMG & +4% Resonance Skill DMG up to 3 times. (CD: 20s) |

Hiyuki Best Team Comps
Hiyuki suits best with teammates who buff Resonance Liberation DMG. While her kit rewards Glacio Chafe and Havoc Bane application for Snow Rust stacking, no other Resonator currently applies Glacio Chafe. This makes Chisa a standout pick for her Havoc Bane support.
Try to pair her with supports that offer CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK, or Glacio DMG to push her damage further. The following are a few top Hiyuki team synergies:
Hiyuki Premium Team
Lynae supercharges Hiyuki's Resonance Liberation with CRIT DMG and buff stacking, while Chisa handles healing and Havoc Bane application to fuel Snow Rust stacks. This is Hiyuki's strongest overall team, built around her "Light Snow" mechanic.
Hiyuki Premium Team II
 |  |  |
| Hiyuki | Lynae | Mornye |
Lynae and Mornye form a flexible buffer-support duo in the game. They are capable of elevating virtually any Resonance Liberation-focused carry. Mornye's Resonance Shift system doesn't directly interact with Hiyuki's kit, but her universal ATK and DMG buffs still translate into useful damage gains.
Hiyuki Glacio Team
 |  |  |
| Hiyuki | Zhezhi | Chisa |
Zhezhi amplifies Glacio DMG over the whole team and contributes serious off-field damage. Chisa keeps the team sustained and applies Havoc Bane for Snow Rust synergy. This comp leans fully into Glacio's identity for consistent elemental damage output.
Hiyuki Resonance Liberation Team
 |  |  |
| Hiyuki | Changli | Shorekeeper |
This team maximizes Resonance Liberation uptime, with Changli applying aggressive off-field pressure and amplifying Liberation DMG. Shorekeeper offers top-tier healing and energy regeneration, which keeps Hiyuki's rotation smooth and uninterrupted.
Hiyuki F2P Team
 |  |  |
| Hiyuki | Sanhua | Verina |
Sanhua delivers fast Concerto Energy generation to keep Hiyuki's rotation flowing. Verina provides reliable healing and universal ATK buffs accessible to all players. This budget-friendly lineup is effective and a great starting point for newer Rovers.
Hiyuki Best Resonance Chains
| Chain | Rating | Effect | Why Upgrade |
| S1 – Springless | ★★★ Good | +120% DMG to all Foreclaimed Self attacks; Stage 3 gains pull effect; Basic Attacks after Inward Vision apply Glacio Chafe. | Solid damage and crowd control increase; speeds up Snow Rust stacking. |
| S2 – To Burn Cold in Silence | ★★★★ Very Good | +125% Iai DMG; out-of-combat recovery restores Snowforged Blade, Frostharden Iai, resets Jade Cleave charges, and refuels Frostheart. | Huge Iai damage spike, which is the best stopping point for most players. |
| S3 – No Self, No Bound | ★★★ Good | Passively builds Snow Rust stacks; +160% Heavy Attack DMG; massive +488% Glacio Bite DMG at 2 Snow Rust stacks. | Strong overall DPS bump through Glacio Bite and Snow Rust synergy. |
| S4 – Like Reeds on Tides | ★★★ Good | Resonance Skill grants +20% DMG to all nearby teammates for 30s; restores 18% Max HP on Jade Cleave/Petalfall casts. | Great team support, but minimal personal DPS gain. |
| S5 – Vessel of Thousand Wishes | ★★ Ok | +80% Resonance Skill DMG for Jade Cleave and Petalfall. | Minor rotation improvement, weakest of the chain upgrades. |
| S6 – Into a Night Without End | ★★★★★ Best | +500% Crit DMG on Inward Vision & Blade Liberation; team-wide Glacio Chafe triggers Glacio Bite; +40% Crit DMG at 2 Snow Rust; +25% Glacio Bite DMG at 3 stacks. | Massive burst ceiling, which is her highest DPS potential by far. |
Conclusion
Hiyuki has emerged as the most complete Main DPS resonator in Wuthering Waves 3.3. Her dual-form rotation and explosive Resonance Liberation bursts make her rewarding and devastating.
The above WuWa Hiyuki build clarifies that pairing her with Frostburn and Wishes of Quiet Snowfall delivers peak performance. In addition, slot her into a team with strong Liberation buffers like Lynae and Chisa. And don't forget to top up Wuthering Waves with BuffBuff to gear up for her banner and beyond.
