Buling is an upcoming 4-star Electro Resonator in Wuthering Waves, debuting in Version 2.8 (expected release: November 20, 2025, UTC+8).
Official teasers dropped on October 16, 2025, post-Version 2.7 launch, confirming her Electro attribute and Rectifier weapon type. Positioned as a F2P-friendly support-healer hybrid, Buling shines in sustain teams, offering healing, CC (pulls and staggers), team buffs (ATK, Resonance Skill DMG), and a new debuff called Electro-Magnetic Effect for DoT-like damage amplification.

Leaks indicate Version 2.8 banners:
- Phase 1: Chisa (new 5-star) + Buling (new 4-star).
- Phase 2: Reruns of Phrolova & Cantarella, with potential mono-Electro synergies.
Note: All details below are from CN beta leaks via SeeleLeaks (shared October 17, 2025), cross-referenced with community translations. Subject to changes until official confirmation. No ascension materials leaked yet, but expect standard Electro drops like Lampylumen Myriad or weekly bosses.
Leaked Kit
Buling is a quick-swap support-healer-subDPS centered on Hexagram mechanics (Gen 艮 for sustain/mountain, Zhen 震 for thunder/aggression) to build Minor Yin/Yang stacks. These enable Yin-Yang Symbiosis state, replacing her burst with a team-wide array that applies Electro-Magnetic Effect (a stacking debuff for deepened DMG over time) and chains buffs on ally intros. She excels in Electro teams (e.g., with Yinlin or Cartethyia) or mixed sustain comps, providing on-demand heals, pulls for grouping, and buff rotations without heavy ER investment. Her kit punishes poor rotations (e.g., failed divinations drain HP) but rewards precise heavy attack chaining.
- Role: Versatile enabler for Electro hypercarries or general sustain (strong S0; S1+ boosts energy and array uptime). Hybrid scaling on ATK/HP for healing/damage.
- Forte Circuit: "Yin-Yang Symbiosis" – Enter state with both Minor Yin and Minor Yang (built via specific Heavy Attacks). Replaces Resonance Liberation with "Flying Thunder Decisive Art: Unification" (deals Electro DMG, summons Five Thunder Purging Array for team-wide Electro-Magnetic Effect DoT, grants Electro-Arcane: Initial Motion buffs). Buff sequence: Ally Intro triggers Dual Polarity (ATK buff) → Three Talents in One (higher ATK + Resonance Skill DMG Bonus).
Key Abilities (beta summaries; no numerical values leaked—multipliers tentative based on similar units):
Ability | Description | Cooldown/Energy |
---|---|---|
Basic Attack: Roused, Mobilized | 4-hit Electro combo; generates Hexagram types on hits (Gen on 4th ground/Aerial 2nd; Zhen on others). | N/A |
Heavy Attack: Mountain Thunder (Hexagram) | Consumes Gen + Zhen; deals high Electro DMG, grants Minor Yang. | Varies by stacks |
Heavy Attack: Thunder Mountain (Utility, Hexagram) | Consumes Zhen; lower Electro DMG but extra Resonance DMG (stagger), grants Minor Yang. | Varies by stacks |
Heavy Attack: Gen as Mountain (Damage, Hexagram) | Consumes Gen; recovers HP for nearby allies, grants Minor Yin. | Varies by stacks |
Heavy Attack: Zhen as Thunder (Sustain, Hexagram) | Consumes Zhen + Gen; continuous HP recovery for team, grants Minor Yin. | Varies by stacks |
Heavy Attack Fail: Ghost Gate: Divination | Insufficient Hexagrams: Enters failure state (loses current Lib, drains % HP); enables Electro pulls and quick-tap Basic for unleashing delayed Heavies. | N/A |
Resonance Skill: Shadow Dodge, Thunder Pull | AoE Electro pull DMG; continuous pulls, quick-tap Basic ATK for 4 hits/long-press to unleash Hexagram Heavies. | 12-15s / Low Energy |
Resonance Liberation: Flying Thunder Decisive Art: Unification | (Symbiosis only) Burst Electro DMG; deploys Five Thunder Purging Array (Electro-Magnetic Effect DoT), triggers buff chain on ally Intros. | 20s / 80 Energy |
Intro Skill: Summon and Impeach | Deals Electro DMG, recovers HP for nearby team (ATK-scaling). Applies Electro-Magnetic stacks (via Inherent Skill 2). | N/A |
Outro Skill: Command and Exile | Recovers HP for next Outro activator (based on Buling's ATK); nearby allies gain All DMG Deepen (period). | N/A |
Aerial Dodge Counters | Aerial Attack/Dodge Counter/Basic Counter: All deal Electro DMG. | N/A |
Inherent Skills (Passives):
- Auspicious Time Arrived, Misfortune Dispelled: Healing below certain HP% boosts Buling's Healing Effectiveness.
- My Name is Terrestrial Immortal: Intro Skill applies Electro-Magnetic Effect stacks (CD).
Playstyle: Build Hexagrams via Basics → Chain Heavies for Yin/Yang → Enter Symbiosis for array setup → Quick-swap allies to chain buffs/pulls/heals. Failure states add risk-reward (pulls for grouping but HP drain). ER sands recommended for array uptime; strong in abyss/multi-wave for sustain.
Echo set: You can probably just slap onto her the ER set.
Teams (leaked synergies):
- Electro Hypercarry: Yinlin (DPS) / Buling (Buffer/Healer) / Mortefi (SubDPS) – Array deepens Sinner's Mark via Magnetic Effect.
- Sustain Flex: Cartethyia (DPS) / Buling / Verina (Healer) – Pulls + heals for Aero-Electro Erosion teams.
- F2P Mono-Electro: Rover-Electro (DPS) / Buling / Yangyang (SubDPS) – Buffs Resonance Skills for budget clears.
