As a new five-star Electro character you can get for free, Xiangli Yao is the star of the show in Wuthering Waves version 1.2—and since you’re already getting a free copy, collecting the right materials is your first step in building him.
To completely maximize the full potential of Xiangli Yao, you first need to put a lot of work into collecting all his materials, and that includes his ascension, Skill, and Forte materials. To help you get everything you need, here are all the materials for Xiangli Yao in Wuthering Waves.

To fully utilize his damage potential, leveling up Xiangli Yao to 90 is crucial, but you also need his Ascension materials to unlock his passives and increase his overall stats.
Here are all the Xiangli Yao Ascension materials you need:
- Six Basic Resonance Potion
- Seven Medium Resonance Potion
- Six Advanced Resonance Potion
- 118 Premium Resonance Potion
- 170,000 Shell Credit
- 46 Thundering Tacet Core
- 60 Violet Coral
- Four LF Whisperin Core
- 12 MF Whisperin Core
- 12 HF Whisperin Core
- Four FF Whisperin
While you can farm Shell Credits and Resonance Potions through quests and limited events, you gather resources like Thundering Tacet Core, Violet Coral, and all types of Whisperin Core from overworld exploration and fighting bosses.
All Xiangli Yao Skill and Forte Materials

The next step in completing your Xiangli Yao is to gather his Skill and Forte materials, which are an essential part of his overall kit.
Here are all the Xiangli Yao Skill and Forte materials you need:
- 20.3 million Shell Credits
- 25 LF Whisperin Core
- 28 MF Whisperin Core
- 40 HF Whisperin Core
- 57 FF Whisperin Core
- 25 Cadence Seed
- 28 Cadence Bud
- 55 Cadence Leaf
- 67 Cadence Blossom
- 26 Unending Destruction
While getting Xiangli Yao’s Ascension materials is easier, collecting his Skill and Forte resources may take a while. Not only do you require a lot of Shell Credits, but you also need to farm a bunch of open-world opponents. Besides that, getting 26 Unending Destruction can also be tricky, because only the Weekly Boss, Scar, drops them. You can fight him three times a week, so patience is the key.
