Yangyang is one of the standard 4-star characters in Wuthering Waves that you can obtain through the Permanent Convene and for free at the beginning of the game. She's an Aero Sword user who focuses on providing energy for the team as well as grouping enemies together.
In this guide, we'll show you the best way to build her so you can have the best hybrid/support character possible for your team.

Yangyang is a support/hybrid character who uses her Outro skill to recover Energy for the next character rather than providing a Deepen buff.
In most games, characters that can recover energy for their teammates are always strong, but in Wuthering Waves, it's tough to determine her power without seeing her used by more players.
Yangyang is one of the only characters in the game with an offensive Outro that retains its effect even after the receiving character swaps, allowing her to be built as a hybrid or support.
To play her as a support, you can utilize a weapon that triggers a heal after releasing her ultimate, allowing her to employ the powerful 5P Rejuvenating Glow set, which had few viable users at the time of release (despite being ridiculously effective).
Yangyang has two viable playstyles, a potentially powerful Outro, and various enemy-gathering abilities, the best of which is her extremely cheap 100-cost ultimate, which can help group enemies for easier AoE, doubling down on her supportive benefits.
Yangyang is free, so anticipate receiving some of her Sequences, which will enhance her kit. Her S4 boosts the gathering effect of her abilities, while her S6 gives the entire squad an ATK boost, providing even more supportive benefits.
Now let's look at the best way to build Yangyang in Wuthering Waves.

Summary
There are certain drawbacks to Yang Yang. Her basic attack rotation is a bit challenging, and if you miss the last part, you will lose a significant percentage of her Forte Gauge, requiring you to redo the basic attack combo from scratch.
Her personal damage is likewise on the lower side, pushing her into a supporting role rather than a hybrid one. Her necessary on-field time is problematic because it is greater than most supports but shorter than many hybrids, putting her in an unusual position.
Overall, Yangyang is an intriguing character who has the potential to be game-changing depending on how important her Energy Recovery is in the endgame, but until we see more of her, it's difficult to predict how powerful she'll be or whether she'll be present in any top-tier teams, and if so, whether in the hybrid or support role.
