Wuthering Waves 3.7 Hsin Build and Team Guide

Hsin arrives in Wuthering Waves Version 3.7 as the first playable Sentinel, a 5-star Electro Rectifier built around Resonance Skill damage, dual combat forms, and two Resonance Modes. Her banner opens with Phase 1 of Prism’s Illusion, Heart’s Illumination on September 30, 2026 (11:00 AM UTC+8). This guide covers her kit, weapons, Echoes, Sequences, teams, and materials based on official previews and current beta data. Final live numbers can still shift at launch.

Who Hsin Is

Hsin is Mengzhou’s Moon Fox Sentinel. She scales primarily with ATK and Resonance Skill DMG, and she can play either as an on-field main DPS or as a swap-heavy damage dealer who still contributes coordinated attacks off-field. Her two Resonance Modes define how you build around her:

• Unison Mode: Swap-focused. Frequent Intro Skills, Unison Response windows, and partnered burst with Suoming.
• Electro Flare Mode: Stack-and-detonate. Teammates apply Electro Flare, Hsin converts those stacks into large Resonance Skill hits.

If you pull only one 3.7 character, Hsin is the Phase 1 headline. Suoming, her best Unison partner, arrives in Phase 2.

How Her Kit Works

Hsin cycles two combat forms.

Answering Form (Response Phase) is her default state. She uses a four-hit Basic Attack string, builds Answering Heart, and uses Enhanced Heavy Attacks plus Resonance Skill to push the rotation forward. Resonance Skill in this form can also enter her Moon Fox exploration state outside combat.

Illumining Form (Illumination Phase) is her burst state. Liberation’s first cast (Formshift / Revolving Phase) moves her here, unlocks extra movement options, and starts filling Illumining Heart. At full Heart she unlocks an empowered Resonance Skill and the second Liberation, Pillars Across Heaven, which is tagged as Resonance Skill DMG and returns her to Answering Form.

The practical loop is:

1. Enter with Intro Skill.
2. Build Heart in Answering Form.
3. Formshift into Illumining Form.
4. Spend Enhanced Heavy Attacks and empowered Skills.
5. Finish with Pillars Across Heaven, then swap or restart.

Liberation consistency is important. Aim for roughly 120% to 125% Energy Regen so the form cycle does not stall. Many of her finishers, including Realm Wanderer, Pillars Aligned, Beholding All Horizons, and Pillars Across Heaven, count as Resonance Skill DMG. That is why Skill DMG weapons and Echo substats matter more than Basic Attack investment.

She also has a Moon Fox field form that restores HP out of combat and avoids enemy aggro until you dodge, take damage, or start attacking. It is a quality-of-life tool, not a combat DPS state.

Best Weapons

Blooming Jadehaven is her signature Rectifier and the clear best-in-slot. Beta text lists 588 ATK and 24.3% Crit Rate at level 90. The passive grants 12% All-Attribute DMG Bonus. After Hsin inflicts Electro Flare or triggers Unison Response, Resonance Skill DMG rises by 36% and she ignores 10% Electro RES. While she is on-field, nearby targets take 30% more Electro Flare DMG for 30 seconds. That package lines up with both of her modes.

Weapon priority

If you can only fund one limited pull beyond the character, take Blooming Jadehaven before Sequence 2. The weapon multiplies the same damage tag her kit already uses.

Best Echoes and Stats

The Version 3.7 set Heart of Sworn Vigil is her dedicated Sonata.

• 2-piece: +10% Electro DMG
• 5-piece: Inflicting Electro Flare, gaining Unison, or triggering Unison Response grants bonus Crit Rate and Electro DMG for 30 seconds

That 5-piece bonus covers both playstyles, so you do not need a second set. Use a 4-3-3-1-1 cost split. The new 4-cost Calamity Echo from 3.7 is the intended main Echo. Until you farm it, Thundering Mephis is the usual stand-in.

Main stats

• 4-cost: Crit DMG if you have Blooming Jadehaven or Stringmaster. Crit Rate if you do not.
• 3-cost: Electro DMG Bonus (second 3-cost can be Electro DMG or ATK%)
• 1-cost: ATK% / ATK%

Substat priority

Crit Rate / Crit DMG > ATK% > Resonance Skill DMG > Energy Regen > Flat ATK

Build targets

• Crit Rate: 60% to 70% on the character screen, 75% to 85% after set activation
• Crit DMG: 200% minimum, 220% preferred
• Energy Regen: 120% to 125%
• ATK: stack after Crit and Energy Regen are comfortable

Ascension bonuses add 8% Crit Rate and 12% ATK, which is why signature Crit Rate weapons let you put Crit DMG on the 4-cost Echo.

Skill and Sequence Priority

Skill levels

Forte Circuit > Resonance Liberation > Resonance Skill > Intro Skill > Basic Attack

Raise Intro Skill earlier if you commit to Unison quick-swap, because entrance hits become a larger share of the team’s damage.

Resonance Chains

S0 is already a complete kit. Recommended stops:

• S2: Best early whale or lucky extra copy. +60% Enhanced Heavy Attack DMG in both forms, plus rotation comfort.
• S3: Stronger Liberation finisher and extra Flare detonation value.
• S6: Endgame spike. +40% Resonance Skill DMG, 20% DEF ignore, extra Unison stack room, and fixed high Crit on Electromagnetic Effect hits.

S1 is comfort and extra Edict, not a damage stop. S4 is a team-wide 20% All-Attribute DMG Bonus after her conditions trigger. S5 is survivability. If resources are tight, S0 plus signature weapon beats chasing S1.

Best Teams

Hsin’s team depends on the mode you choose. Unison is the long-term premium path. Electro Flare is the better launch-week plan because Suoming is not available until Phase 2.

Premium Unison Team

Hsin + Suoming + Shorekeeper

Suoming is the partner the kit is written around. Her Outro amplifies Electro DMG and can add Resonance Skill DMG to a Unison Boon holder. Shorekeeper covers healing, Crit buffs, and a clean Concerto setup.

Rotation idea:

1. Shorekeeper opens with buffs and healing.
2. Suoming sets Unison and Electro buffs.
3. Swap to Hsin for the enhanced Intro.
4. Formshift, then swap back to Suoming to trigger Unison Response.
5. Return to Hsin for the Illumining window and Pillars Across Heaven.

This is a 1-2-3-2-3 swap pattern, not a simple hypercarry hold. Both Resonators take short field time.

Launch Electro Flare Team

Hsin + Electro Rover + SuiSui

Electro Rover applies Flare stacks and shares Electro DMG Bonus. SuiSui raises the Flare cap and brings healing plus All-DMG amplification. Chisa can replace SuiSui as a cap raiser, but SuiSui and Chisa do not stack that cap effect with each other. Pick one.

F2P Electro Flare Team

Hsin + Electro Rover + Buling

Buling is on Hsin’s Phase 1 4-star pool. She applies Electro Flare, buffs team Resonance Skill DMG, and heals. This team will not match the Unison ceiling, but it is the cheapest complete launch setup and should still clear endgame content if Hsin is built well.

Flexible Alternative

Hsin + Jinhsi + Shorekeeper

Hsin’s coordinated attacks feed Jinhsi’s Incandescence. Jinhsi can hand Unison to Hsin. The tradeoff is that Jinhsi does not fully cash in Unison Response the way Suoming does. Use this if you already own Jinhsi and do not want to wait for Phase 2.

Verina can stand in for Shorekeeper in any of these teams if that is the healer you have.

Materials to Prefarm

A full Hsin plus signature weapon build costs about 2,530,000 Shell Credits. Some items are new in 3.7, so you cannot finish everything before the patch.

Lesson in Sunset is the best pre-patch farm. One Waveplate route covers both the String line and Exoswarm Cores. Melodic String at 87 is the heaviest single item. Bloom of Hearkening and Remnant of the Wheel unlock with the version.

Pull Plan

Phase 1 banner: Hsin, Iuno, Chisa, plus Taoqi, Youhu, and Buling. Phase 2 banner: Suoming with Lynae and Lucilla.

A practical order if you like Hsin:

1. Hsin S0
2. Blooming Jadehaven
3. Suoming S0 in Phase 2
4. Hsin S2 if you still have pulls

Skip S1 unless it comes naturally. Buling is a useful 4-star even if you later move Hsin onto Unison, because she remains a cheap Flare applicator for other Electro teams.

Final Notes

Hsin is a high-ceiling Resonance Skill DPS with a heavier rotation than a simple on-field carry. Unison with Suoming is the team the kit wants long term. Electro Rover plus Buling or SuiSui is the team you can play on day one. Farm Heart of Sworn Vigil as soon as 3.7 opens, lock Crit and Energy Regen first, and treat her signature weapon as part of the core build rather than a luxury extra.
