Changli’s Resonance Skill, Tripartite Flames, enables her to dash forward and enter the True Sight state, dealing Fusion Damage. She can use this move two times in a row, if need be. In True Sight, Changli possesses two Enhanced Basic Attacks dealing Resonance Skill Damage.
Her Resonance Liberation, Radiance of Fealty, deals Fusion Damage to nearby targets, creates four stacks of Enflamement, and allows Changli’s next Flaming Sacrifice Heavy Attack to boost her Attack temporarily.
Using a Heavy Attack while having four stacks of Enflamement automatically triggers Flaming Sacrifice. This deals Fusion Damage counting as Resonance Skill Damage and reduces the damage Changli takes during casting. Aside from her Liberation, Changli gains Enflamement from her Enhanced Basic Attacks. Her Inherent Skills provide additional Fusion Damage for all stacks of Enflamement as well as additional Fusion Damage and Defense Penetration for her Flaming Sacrifice and Resonance Liberation.
Her Intro Skill allows Changli to enter True Sight immediately upon being switched in, while her Outro Skill amplifies the next Resonator’s Fusion Damage and Resonance Liberation Damage.
Obtaining additional copies of Changli and filling out her Resonance Chain is another way of boosting her power. Sequence Node 1 (S1) allows her Skill and Flaming Sacrifice to increase Changi’s damage, while S2 makes Enflamement provide a Critical Rate bonus. S3 boosts her Resonance Liberation Damage and S4 makes her Intro Skill contribute a teamwide Attack buff. S5 provides a massive damage bonus to Flaming Sacrifice, while S6 allows Flaming Sacrifice, Resonance Skill, and Resonance Liberation to ignore additional enemy Defense.
Changli’s signature sword, Blazing Brilliance, provides her with the best mixture of stats and bonuses: It comes with additional Critical Damage, Attack, and a stacking Resonance Skill Damage buff, increasing her offensive capabilities across the board.
Best Changli weapons in Wuthering Waves:

- Emerald of Genesis (5-Star)
- Commando of Conviction (4-Star)

Best Changli Echoes – Wuthering Waves
Changli puts out tons of Fusion Damage, so you should get the Molten Rift Sonata Effect on her. Inferno Rider is a strong Main Echo to go with this, providing lots of Resonance Energy that will allow Changli to generate Enflamement through her Resonance Liberation. The Basic Attack Damage buff it provides is less useful, as she mainly relies on Resonance Skill Damage.

- Sonata Effect: Molten Rift (5-Set)
- Main Echo: Inferno Rider

Changli benefits from having Resonators with Coordinated Attacks by her side, as this will help her build enough stacks of Incandescence to unleash her full damage potential.
- Changli (Main DPS), Yinlin (Hybrid), Verina (Support)
Changli’s swap-heavy playstyle allows her to take advantage of her Intro Skill as often as she can while also providing the team with additional buffs from her Outro Skill. Yinlin is a perfect partner for her, creating strong synergy between both units – not to mention her strong off-field damage increasing the team’s DPS. Verina is the natural third character to join the party in her function as an amazing healer and support Resonator.
Encore and Rover (Havoc) are strong alternatives to Changli thanks to their ability to fit into a swap-heavy composition – and Encore can even take full advantage of Changli’s Outro Skill.
As always, Baizhi is your best friend if you don’t have a Verina to keep the team healthy.
