Quick Links
Wuthering Waveshas quite a few characters that all have various ways you’ll want to build them. One character you may encounter when pulling for new ones will beTaoqi.She is adefensive characterwho hasattack scaling with her defensive stat. Once you get the hang of her, Taoqi’s ability to counter enemies, shield the team, and heal herself are all fairly awesome to deal with. She needs a bit of work to get to a stronger character on your team, but it will be worth it in the long run, especially because she will also buff the next character in the field with her outro buff.
What Weapons to Use for Taoqi
There are quite a few weapons that you can utilize for Taoqi, but you’ll want to narrow down and obtain three, in particular, to get the most out of her kit. The first weapon to look out for will beDauntless Evernight,which will increaseattackanddefensefor15 secondswhen her Intro Skill is released. Her second-best weapon will beDiscord,which restoresConcerto Energywhen her Resonance Skill is released and can betriggered 1 time every 20 seconds. Taoqi’s final weapon you’ll want to watch out for isAutumntrace, whichincreases attackafter usingBasic Attacks or Heavy Attacks.This can stack up to 5 times.
Thankfully, all three of these weapons are 4-stars and won’t be as hard to acquire as most of the 5-star weapons to pull for. With these, you’ll be getting the most out of Taoqi so that she can be a top pick for your teams.
Echoes to Use for Taoqi
When going after echoes for Taoqi, you’ll want to avoid using the auto-sort feature for equipping them, it won’t prioritise giving you buffs for Taoqi or the party. Instead, you may sort your echoes by buff type and select what fits Taoqi the best. Since she can’t heal more than herself or deal a ton of damage, it isbest to avoidusingRejuvenating Glow,Sun-Sinking Eclipse, orLingering Tunesfor buffs. You’ll want to stick to something that can buff the team, likeMoonlit Clouds, this willincrease energy regen, and with aset of 5 echoeswith the buff, it willincrease the attackof thenext characterin the field byfor 15 seconds.
For Taoqi’s main echo, you’ll have a few really strong options that vary in how they affect her playstyle.Bell-Borne Geochelonewill be the best main echo by far. It will dealIce Damagebased on her defense to nearby enemies and obtain aBell-Borne Shieldthat lasts for15 seconds.The Bell-Borne Shield providesdamage reductionand adamage boostfor the current team members. It willdisappear afterTaoqi ishit 3 times.

Making the best DPS character even stronger isn’t as hard as it might seem!
If the Bell-Borne Geochelone isn’t an option yet, you’re able to also go withImpermanence Heron.The Impermanence Heron will be more of a dps option in comparison, as it will allow Taoqi to transform into the echo to fly around the battlefield and dealHavoc Damagewith its breath attack. If you long-press the echo attack, she will stay transformed and deal an additionalHavoc Damage. Once the main attack hits, Tauqi will gain10 Resonance Energyandthe next characterbrought into the field will have adamage boost.
If neither of these echoes is an option for you, you can also use theStonewall Braceruntil you can get your hands on them. This is another transformation echo but you’ll charge forward and dealPhysical Damageon-hit followed up with a ground smash to deal morePhysical Damage. Taoqi will also gain a shield equal to10%of her max HP. This makes it a fairly strong early option until the others are opened up for you.
Teams for Taoqi
Once you have all of the above, it will be time to integrate her into a team, which can be somewhat hard given how she won’t be able to keep up in damage unless you put a lot of investment into her skill upgrades, weapons, and echoes. A solid couple of variations will be withDanjinas your main dps so that Taoqi can buff her overall damage throughout fights. Danjin and Taoqi work well together, where Danjin will do solid burst damage and Taoqi will be switched into the fight to deal with stopping damage and building shields back up. The third character that can be brought in with Danjin and Taoqi isVerina,to ensure that Danjin is healed up to always ensure that damage is constant, while also granting players the ability to prevent one death every 10 minutes.
A couple of other options will also beBaizhias a nice alternative for healing if Verina isn’t an option for your team yet, she can also buff the next character you swap her out for. If Danjin isn’t doing the damage you want, you may also useCalcharofor solidElectro Damageand overall just large amounts of damage as well.
Once you have Taoqi’s weapons, echoes, and teams sorted out she will be ready to protect the teams you put her in! After you get her set up and ready to go, all that is left is to invest various ingredients into her skill tree to get better percentages for all of her abilities as you continue playing. Taoqi may only be a 4-star character, but she has some fairly satisfying gameplay that can rival some of our 5-star options so far.
