SP Yangyang Materials: Ascension, Forte & Weapon Materials | Wuthering Waves 3.5

SP Yangyang — officially named Xuanling — is arriving in Wuthering Waves 3.5 as the game's very first SP character. A complete reinvention of the original 4-star Aero support, she returns as a 5-star Havoc main DPS with a new playstyle built around heavy attacks and a dramatic transformation mechanic tied to her Resonance Liberation. For players who have followed Yangyang's story since launch, 3.5 is the version they have been waiting for.

In this guide, LDShop covers all SP Yangyang materials you need to prefarm, including her Ascension Materials, Forte Materials, and Signature Weapon Azure of Heaven Materials, so you can hit the ground running the moment 3.5 goes live.

3.5 new Boss materials (x46)

SP Yangyang uses a new overworld Boss drop introduced in 3.5. Quantity x46 follows the standard ascension curve for 5-star characters. The specific Boss and drop name will be confirmed in the official preview — this section will be updated when available.

3.5 New Local Specialty (x60)

Her local specialty is a 3.5 gathering material, likely tied to the new Mengzhou region of Huanglong. With x60 needed in total, this is worth prioritizing early. Once the specialty name and nodes are confirmed, farming routes will be added here.

 

SP Yangyang Forte Materials

Forte upgrades are where the bulk of the resource investment goes. These materials cover all main Forte nodes, bonus stat nodes, and inherent skills. Maxing every node takes a significant amount of both Forte crystal materials and Credits, so planning ahead is worthwhile.

3.5 New Forte Materials

SP Yangyang uses a new set of Forgery Challenge drop materials introduced in 3.5. They follow the standard four-tier structure (Inert → Reactive → Polarized → Heterized). The specific Forgery location and drop name will be confirmed with the official version preview.

3.5 New Weekly Boss Material (x26)

Her skill upgrade weekly boss drop is a new material tied to 3.5's content — most likely from a new weekly boss in or around Mengzhou. 26 copies are needed in total across all Forte nodes. This will be updated once the weekly boss is officially announced.

This guide will be updated as soon as official information is released closer to the July 23 patch.
