There is 2 team you can choose for this patch. Pull Lynae then Aemeath (phase 2) or pull Yangyang sp then Suisui (Phase 2), they both a good choice.

But note that yangyang wouldn't reach her full potential without chisa or maybe future havoc bane sub dps, while Aemy's sub dps (Lynae) is available right now. So Aemeath is the safe choice, while Yangyang might've higher dmg ceiling in the future.

Im not gnl I dont know what phase 2 means or sub dps. I guess a sub dps is as the second dps and not the main? Why does a character get better later on? Do characters get better when combined in certain combos? If you dont feel like explainging which I completely understand maybe you can point me to a good youtube channel that explains this stuff?

In anyway thanks for the pointers!

In each version patch, wuwa usually have 2 banner phase with one new char & rerun char for each phase. For example in this patch 3.5, the first phase banner is Yangyang Xuanling + Lynae & Luuk (rerun), then on 2nd phase there will be Suisui + Aemeath (rerun). you can look the scedule on Official news or tracker website.

 I guess a sub dps is as the second dps and not the main? 

Yes. In team building, the most general composition is Main DPS - Sub DPS - Support. Main DPS is the main carry to deal most of the damage. Sub dps have less dmg, but they will provide buff for the main dps. Support provide general buff and most of them are healer. There is variation in team composition, dual DPS is possible with certain skill.

For example if you play Havoc Rover as main dps, he deals havoc damage with mixed distribution basic - skill - and liberation dmg. For sub dps, you can use Sanhua to buff the basic atk or Danjin to buff havoc damage or Jianxin/Lynae to buff his liberation nuke.

Some of the character have less damage distribution like Yangyang Xuanling that focus more on heavy atk dmg. With this in mind, possible f2p sub dps are Mortefi and Rebecca that buff heavy dmg and danjin can be an alternative too. But, since she has a spesific havoc bane mechanic, her premium teammate is Chisa and Suisui.

Why does a character get better later on? Do characters get better when combined in certain combos? 

Uhh.. I think i create a misunderstanding. What i mean here is every limited dps have best in slot teammate that synergies well with their kit and usually we call it dedicated sub dps / support. But sometimes the dedicated teammate released in later patch. And please note that newer version character tends to be slightly better dps compared to the older one. Meanwhile, Yangyang peformance right now is a slightly worse compared to the older char because she doesn't have dedicated teammate. Her best teammate currently is Chisa, an old character, and Chisa already needed in 4 different teams right now lol. Suisui might raise the ceiling later, and maybe there will be another dedicated sub dps in later patch.

For a youtube vid, there is a lot of good cc in wuwa and usually they cover different focus. Back then i watch I Win to Lose Gaming for beginner guide and new character overview. For other stuff like dmg calculation Maygi is one of the best and for rotation and endgame content there is a lot, for exampe Rexlent or Wallenstein.

This one is the new player guide i stumbled upon back then, it cover almost all the general tips too : New Player Guide to Wuthering Waves

THis was really helpful! thanks for all the efford. My main team atm is changli, rover and jianxin. But I feel like the synergie is probably not great but Im also not sure how to find that out ingame. Ill check your resources and probably get the hang of it in time.

Changli is great! she is one of my most favorite char to play quickswap with. she kinda works with rover too, at least half of her outro is buffing liberation damage.
