Danjinfrom the new open-world RPG,Wuthering Waves, is a sword-fighting Berserker character for more experienced, knowledgeable combat players. Her high-risk, high-reward playstyle pays off excellently in the late-game but can be difficult for some as her damage output relies on keeping a lower HP. However, once you have figured out how to play her correctly, you certainly have a viable 4-Star character in your toolkit. Knowing her best build for exploration and combat in the game’s first version will take you far.

The first characteristic to note about Danjin is that she is a Havoc Resonator.SinceWuthering Wavesuses an elemental system, Havoc can be considered the world’s Dark- or Chaos-type essence.This should be noted as her “destruction of matter” ability will be resisted by other Havoc-using monsters.Therefore, unless noted prior, Danjin should be used when no Havoc monsters are around or when it is explicitly stated that Havoc is the strongest element recommended for combat.

Who Is The Canon MC In Wuthering Waves?

Wuthering Waves, like many other RPGs, allows players to select a gender for their main character - but is either one the game’s canon option?

Danjin ofWuthering Wavescomes from the city of Jiazhouand is one of their Midnight Rangers. She has strong moral judgment and is extremely straightforward in her voice lines stemming from her character’s personality. However, when someone or something she cares about deeply is injured, she will lash out with fury, hence her HP or blood-letting type attacks that deal more damage as she continuously gets hurt and heals herself. She seeks to find the true meaning of good and evil and “vows to cleanse the world of villainy.”
