Suisui is the second new 5-star arriving in Wuthering Waves Version 3.5, a Glacio Rectifier built as a support and healer rather than a front-line damage dealer. She is the older sister of Yangyang, and her kit leans heavily into team buffs, sustain, and amplifying damage for allies who run the Havoc Bane playstyle. Everything below comes from beta leaks, so numbers and mechanics can still change before launch.
Quick answer: Suisui is a 5★ Glacio Rectifier support. Her Resonance Liberation, Song of Thoroughfare, makes enemies hit by Havoc Bane take extra Havoc damage that ignores DEF and RES, while her Outro Skill grants up to 25% All DMG Amplification that scales further with her Energy Regen.
Suisui kit overview
Suisui wields a fan and fights with a movepool inspired by dance, giving her basic attacks an elegant, flowing animation. She carries a Tacet Mark in the center of her forehead, in the same position as Yangyang’s, and her Resonance Source is the Chongming Bird. Here is the core profile.
| Detail | Suisui |
|---|---|
| Rarity | 5★ |
| Element | Glacio |
| Weapon type | Rectifier |
| Combat role | Support / healer |
| Banner | Version 3.5, Phase 2 |
| Signature weapon | Dew Imbiber (Rectifier) |
Resonance Skill and form switching
Suisui’s Resonance Skill is built around stance changes. She has two distinct forms and uses the Resonance Skill to swap between them mid-combat, which is what gives her the flexibility to act as either a healer or a damage amplifier depending on what the team needs. This form-switching gimmick is the main reason she has been floated for several different team slots rather than a single locked role.
Resonance Liberation: Song of Thoroughfare
Casting her Resonance Liberation deploys a domain, with effects compared to the Shorekeeper’s field, that helps build up effect stacks for the team. The close-up animation borrows from Dunhuang flying apsaras imagery, fitting her traditional, ribbon-and-gauze design.
Mechanically, Song of Thoroughfare is the centerpiece of her kit. While enemies are affected by Havoc Bane, the Liberation makes them take increased Havoc damage, and that bonus damage ignores both DEF and RES. That turns Suisui into a force multiplier for any team that can reliably apply Havoc Bane, since she pushes through two of the defensive stats that normally cap damage.
Outro Skill and damage amplification
Her Outro Skill grants up to 25% All DMG Amplification to the next character who swaps in, and that buff scales further based on Suisui’s Energy Regen. Stacking Energy Regen on her therefore does double duty, since it both fuels her own rotation and raises the ceiling on the team-wide damage bonus she hands off. This is why Energy Regen is expected to be a priority stat when building her.
Healing, intro skill, and team role
Outside the Havoc Bane niche, Suisui still works as a general healer with strong sustain and damage buffs, which makes her flexible for teams that just need someone to keep allies alive while adding offensive value. She shares special intro skill voicelines with her sister Yangyang in her alternate Xuanling form, similar to the dynamic between Augusta and Iuno, and that pairing is leaked to be her best-in-slot partner.
Beyond the sister duo, she has been discussed for a few different team slots. The table below lists the roles she has been linked to in early theorycrafting.
| Potential role | Team context |
|---|---|
| Havoc Bane amplifier | Best-in-slot support for the Xuanling (Yangyang SP) Havoc setup |
| Glacio Chafe third slot | Alongside Hiyuki and Lucilla |
| Sub-DPS / support | Partner slot in Xuanling teams |
| Echo team support | Third slot in Echo-focused compositions |
Dew Imbiber signature weapon
Suisui’s signature Rectifier, Dew Imbiber, is tuned directly to her support kit. It carries a high Energy Regen substat, which feeds straight into her Outro Skill scaling, plus a Max HP boost that strengthens her heals.
| Dew Imbiber | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | 5★ Rectifier |
| Base ATK | 413 |
| Energy Regen | 77.04% |
| Passive | Spring Wreath |
The Spring Wreath passive raises Max HP by 12% and restores 8 Concerto Energy when she casts her Resonance Liberation, on a 20-second cooldown. Casting her Intro or Resonance Skill grants nearby allies a buff called Kingfisher for 30 seconds, which increases their ATK by 20% while she is on the field. While off-field, applying Glacio Chafe grants Tinted Snow and applying healing grants Ripples, and having both active at once enhances Kingfisher. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Suisui release window in Version 3.5
Suisui is set to headline Phase 2 of Version 3.5, arriving directly after the Yangyang: Xuanling banner. Version 3.5 is expected to go live around July 23, 2026, with Suisui’s banner penciled in for the window of August 13, 2026 to September 3, 2026. Kuro Games has not locked these dates publicly, so treat the schedule as an estimate until an official livestream confirms it.
As a leaked unit still in beta, every part of Suisui’s kit can shift before she launches, including her exact buff values, form mechanics, and weapon passive. If you are planning to pull, the safe read is that she lands as a versatile Glacio healer who pays off most for players building toward the Havoc Bane meta with her sister.
