Where Suoming sits in the Sonata team
Xin is a Sentinel-tier Electric main DPS with two independent modes, Electro and Sonata, while Suoming is positioned as the Sonata and Electro sub-DPS who fills the missing half of the line-up.

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming mechanics: why she pairs with Xin
The Sonata system stacks effect layers to a threshold and cashes them at once, so whoever stacks and detonates faster wins on output.
Electric and Electro split
Xin's Electro mode triggers on reaching 10 Electro stacks, and allies who apply effects also convert Electric damage for her . Suoming's value as a sub-DPS is raising how fast those layers fill, so the main DPS reaches her burst window more often .
Sword field tempo
The sword branch plays short and fast, which suits a slot in Xin's damage gaps. Suoming goes second rather than first because the Sonata main DPS must set the field up first, and the sub-DPS only gets full buffs on the follow-up .

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming Echoes and weapon
| Slot | First choice | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Cost | Crit damage main | Pick crit damage when the weapon gives crit rate, and the reverse |
| 3-Cost x2 | Double Electric DMG bonus | The sub-DPS wants elemental bonus too |
| 1-Cost x2 | Double ATK | Covers base stats |
| Set | Five-piece Electric set | Crit substats first, then ATK percent |
Echo set and Cost allocation
Run the 4 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 spread, the current generalist endgame ratio for main and sub DPS in Wuthering Waves . 3.7 added Echo auto-stacking and inventory cleanup, so you no longer drag items one by one while farming substats.
Substats and thresholds
Substat priority is crit, then ATK percent, then Energy Regen, then the rest . Target Energy Regen between 130 and 140 percent: under 130 makes rotations stall and over 140 starts to fall off . The range is set because her loop depends on burst uptime, and the marginal value of recharge flattens past 140.

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming teams
| Team | Line-up | Roles | Substitutes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Sonata | Xin, Suoming, healer, support | Suoming fills layers, Xin bursts in the window | Generic damage support |
| Electro stopgap | Suoming, Electro main DPS, healer | Stack Electric then cash it | Four-star Electric carry without Xin |
| Double-support safety | Suoming, two supports, main DPS | Trade ceiling for consistency | Good for high Tower floors |
The standard Sonata line-up
The standard Sonata team is a main DPS, a sub-DPS, a healer and a support, with Suoming holding the sub-DPS slot for effect fill . Build the healer's Energy Regen fully, because a broken burst in a Sonata team pushes the whole rotation back .
Substitutes
Without Xin, Suoming runs an Electro stopgap team with any Electric main DPS; the ceiling drops a tier but daily content and mid Tower floors are fine . The healer is the one slot you cannot cut, since losing it lets high floors interrupt the rhythm .

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming build order and resources
| Priority | Item | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Character and weapon level | Steady gains, no luck involved |
| 2 | Skills to level 9 | Level 9 to 10 costs jump sharply for little gain |
| 3 | Crit Echo substats | Sets the ceiling but needs repeated farming |
| 4 | Resonance Chain 2 and 3 | The key breakpoints, buy up as budget allows |
Skills and Chains
Stop skills at level 9, because the material cost from 9 to 10 rises sharply for limited damage. The key Chain tiers are 0, 2, 3 and 6: Chain 1 is feel and interrupt resistance, Chain 2 is the real jump, Chain 3 relates to burst rotations and Chain 6 is a max-investment goal .
Stamina
Early in the patch, put stamina into character level, weapon level and skill materials, then farm Echoes once the story is done and materials are ready . 3.7 is the last Xuanfang patch, so one-time rewards are concentrated; clear them before chasing substats . Line up other games against gghubs.com so stamina does not spread thin.

Wuthering Waves 3.7 Suoming FAQ
Does Suoming need Xin?
A: No. She runs an Electro stopgap team alone, but the full Sonata team needs both .
Crit damage or crit rate on the 4-Cost?
A: The opposite of your weapon: a crit rate weapon wants a crit damage main, and vice versa .
How much Energy Regen?
A: Between 130 and 140 percent; under 130 stalls rotations and over 140 falls off .
