Wuthering Waves Suoming is not locked to a support role. She can run as Hsin's Unison partner in what is currently one of the strongest duos in the game, or she can carry as a main DPS next to Sanhua. Both routes want the same echo set: four pieces of Heart of Sworn Vigil, with level 90 targets of 2100 to 2400 ATK, 65 to 80 percent CRIT Rate and 260 to 280 percent CRIT DMG. Applicable version: 3.7 (live 2026-09-30; CN client 3.7.2 patched 2026-10-16)

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming: the first question is whether you own Hsin
Almost all of Suoming's kit revolves around Unison, and the only partner who fully uses her buffs right now is Hsin. So the first decision is not whether to build her, but whether Hsin is on your account.
With Hsin: build her as the Unison sub-DPS
With Hsin, Suoming is the best Unison partner available and the pair forms one of the strongest teams in the current meta. Her job is buffing Hsin and adding Unison damage, so CRIT pressure is lower and Energy Regen becomes the priority to keep the rotation unbroken.
Without Hsin: run Sanhua solo carry
Without Hsin, Suoming is a perfectly capable main DPS. Her buff coverage is wide, since she has no saturation for DMG Bonus, DMG Amplification or ATK, which lets her absorb generic buffs from Sanhua, Lynae, The Shorekeeper and Verina. Sanhua with Shorekeeper or Verina is the cheapest composition and the reason this route is rated the most free-to-play friendly.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming echoes: why Heart of Sworn Vigil beats Moonlit Clouds
Heart of Sworn Vigil is the best set: at S0R1 it matches Moonlit Clouds and pulls ahead as investment rises. Moonlit Clouds is not dead, though. Its value is in low-investment builds, where a replacement weapon or poor echo rolls make its higher buffing potential outperform the higher personal damage.
Picking the main echo
In Unison, use Soulfrayer: on cast it grants the next character 12 percent Electro DMG Bonus for 15 seconds, which lands directly on Hsin. As a main DPS, use the Reminiscence summon echo, which grants 20 percent Electro DMG Bonus in the main slot, and that alone is why it is the default.
Substats
4-cost takes CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG, 3-cost takes Electro DMG (Electro DMG at or above ATK percent), 1-cost takes ATK percent. Substats order as Energy Regen until the rotation holds, then CRIT Rate equal to CRIT DMG, then ATK percent, then Basic Attack DMG, then flat ATK. That last entry matters: most of her damage is basic attacks, so Basic Attack DMG is worth more than the ATK number on your stat screen suggests.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming stat targets at level 90
Aim for 14500+ HP, 1100+ DEF, 2100 to 2400+ ATK, 65 to 80 percent CRIT Rate, 260 to 280 percent CRIT DMG, 100 to 115 percent Energy Regen and 30 to 70 percent Electro DMG Bonus. These are Prydwen's S0 five-star, out-of-combat but in-party numbers, not absolutes.
Does she need Energy Regen
As a main DPS she needs none to get her Ultimate off, so Energy Regen is not a hard requirement; as a Unison sub-DPS one extra roll keeps the loop stable. Main DPS route can skip it entirely, sub-DPS keeps one line.
CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG first
Push CRIT Rate to 65 percent before stacking CRIT DMG to 260 percent, because her damage comes in many small hits and unstable crits waste the multiplier. You can verify this on your own stat screen: 50 percent CRIT Rate with 300 percent CRIT DMG usually gains more from one CRIT Rate roll than from another CRIT DMG roll.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming skill priority
Unison route: Forte Circuit, then Resonance Liberation, then Intro Skill, then Basic Attack, then Resonance Skill. Main DPS route: Basic Attack, then Forte Circuit, then Liberation, then Intro, then Skill. In both routes the Resonance Skill can be leveled last or skipped, because it does not appear in practical rotations.
Where the materials should go
Level Forte Circuit and Liberation first since they define the core loop and the burst window. Basic Attack only matters on the DPS route, because Unison damage comes from the pair rather than her own swings.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming: how much to invest
A complete build per Prydwen's targets needs four Heart of Sworn Vigil pieces with at least one CRIT substat each, a main echo (Soulfrayer or the Reminiscence summon), and one or two Energy Regen lines. Echo farming has no official pity, and the official notes do not publish expected runs per perfect piece, so no invented numbers here.
On skill materials, the official announcement does not publish a full material table for the 3.7 characters, so treat the in-game UI as authoritative. One certain saving: the Resonance Skill is skippable on both routes, which frees enough material for an extra Forte Circuit level.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming: should you build her
Yes, after one question: do you own Hsin. With Hsin, Suoming is the highest-value sub-DPS investment of the version. Without, she is still a generic main DPS who clears Tower of Adversity with Sanhua.
Trade-offs by account type
Own Hsin but not Suoming: pull her, the duo is the version's best answer. Own Suoming but not Hsin: run Sanhua solo carry and stop investing in Unison pieces. Own neither: build Sanhua and Shorekeeper first, since those slots travel across teams.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming FAQ
Q: Does Suoming need Hsin to work?
A: No. Without Hsin she runs Sanhua solo carry and clears Tower of Adversity at 2100 to 2400 ATK with 65 percent CRIT Rate.
Q: Must I farm Heart of Sworn Vigil?
A: At S0R1 it matches Moonlit Clouds, and the gap grows with investment; at low investment Moonlit Clouds can win.
Q: How much Energy Regen does she need?
A: None on the main DPS route; one line on the sub-DPS route, targeting 100 to 115 percent.
Q: Should I level the Resonance Skill?
A: Level it last or skip it, since it does not appear in either practical rotation.
Q: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG first?
A: CRIT Rate to 65 percent first, then CRIT DMG toward 260 percent.
Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming action list
In practice, moving one roll from CRIT DMG into CRIT Rate when she sits near 50 percent gains more than pushing CRIT DMG from 280 toward 300. The reason the Resonance Skill goes last is simple: it never enters either rotation, so every material spent there is a level lost elsewhere.
- Check whether Hsin is on the account before choosing a route.
- Farm four-piece Heart of Sworn Vigil and pick the main echo by route.
- Fill Energy Regen to target first, then CRIT Rate, then CRIT DMG.
- Follow the route-specific skill order and leave Resonance Skill last.
- Enter Tower of Adversity once ATK passes 2100 and CRIT Rate passes 65 percent.
