Buling Build Guide: Weapons, Echos and Team Composition

After Lumi’s debut in Version 1.4, Wuthering Waves is finally adding a new four-star character in Version 2.8—meet Buling, the clever, cheerful little Taoist with a strong sense of justice! Rovers have seen her playful and mischievous personality throughout the main story, but now you can actually unlock her and put her skills to the test.

To make sure you’re ready, we’ve put together a complete guide covering Buling’s skill priority, weapon recommended, resonance chain and ideal team composition. Let’s jump in and see how to get the most out of this charming new hero!

 

Buling Overview

Rarity: ★★★★｜Element: Electro｜Weapon: Rectifier

Buling, the "Spiritchaser Taoist," is a wandering Black Shores Consultant who travels far and wide investigating strange and mysterious phenomena. Playful, lively, and full of charm, she’s also the junior disciple of Jianxin, the familiar Taoist from the main story.

On the battlefield, Buling shines as a versatile controller and support. She uses trigrams like Trigram – Mountain and Trigram – Thunder to summon celestial strikes and set up strategic formations, dealing strong Electro damage. Though her training in Mengzhou is a bit of a mystery, she’s clearly learned a lot from the Shorekeeper—healing allies, clustering enemies and providing wide-area buffs.

Skill Priority

Skill	Priority
Inherent Skill	★★★★★(top)
Normal Attack	★★★★(high)
Intro Skill	★★★(high)
Forte Circuit	★★(low)
Resonance Skill	★★(low)

When allocating her skill points, prioritize her Inherent Skill first. If you’re focusing on boosting her healing role, next invest in her Normal Attack and Intro Skill. On the other hand, if you want to lean into her damage output, then prioritize her Forte Circuit and Resonance Skill. Because Buling is a 4‑star support/healer, you don’t need to over-invest in her to make her effective.

Sub-Stats:

Energy Regen＞ATK%＞ATK

As a slot-three healer, Buling’s best choice is undoubtedly the healing Echo set, as maintaining smooth rotation is her top priority. For the main Echo, choose Fallacy of No Return or Bell-Borne Geochelone, depending on your team’s needs and Buling’s build. Before unlocking her second Resonance Chain, she may struggle with Energy regeneration — in this case, equipping two Energy Regen Costumes is recommended. After unlocking her second chain, you can swap one of them for an ATK 3C if the team’s energy flow feels stable.

Resonance Chain

S1: Exorcist Gadgets, Lend Me Your Power

When Resonance Liberation: Flashing Thunder Spell – Harmony deals damage, its Crit Rate is increased by 20%. C1 boosts the Crit Rate of Buling’s ultimate.

S2: Talisman Burns, Spirits Turn

When Buling enters the Yin-Yang Balance state, she restores 25 Resonance Energy. This effect can trigger once every 24 seconds. C2 greatly alleviates ultimate energy pressure.

S3: Summoner of Spirits, Seeker of Fate

While Five Thunders Spell Array is active, whenever a team member’s HP drops below 50%, immediately restore HP equal to 350 + 150% of Buling’s ATK. This effect can trigger once every 24 seconds. C3 provides clutch healing when allies are at half HP, increasing survivability.

S4: Wanderer of Solaris, Blessed by Fortune

Buling's Healing Bonus is increased by 20%. C4 enhances overall healing output. 

S5: Forum Ban? New Account!

Five Thunders Spell Array instantly inflicts another 6 stacks of Electro Flare on all targets within its range upon generation.

S6: "Almighty Forum Lord of Thunder Spell"

While in the Thunder Spell: Heaven, Earth, Mind state, all active team members gain 50% Resonance Skill DMG Bonus. C6 doubles the Resonance Skill damage bonus from 25% to 50%, effectively turning Buling into the equivalent of two units in terms of her team-wide damage contribution.

As a four-star character, maxing out Buling’s Resonance Chains is only a matter of time. Her S2 significantly improves Energy regeneration, while S6 provides a crucial boost to her Resonance Skill damage — making it the key milestone in her overall progression.

Team Compositions

Phrolova	Cantarella	Buling

Carlotta	Zhezhi	Buling

Jinhsi	Changli	Buling

Jinhsi	Yinlin	Buling

Compared to other healers, Buling truly shines in teams where Resonance Skill damage plays a large role. Her endless extension-like ability to keep the combo going allows main characters like Phrolova, Carlotta, or Jinhsi to soak up buffs and deal huge damage. It’s clear: in those setups, Buling can be the key piece that turns the tide.
