Changli Overview

Changli is a 5-star Fusion Sword Resonator released on July 22, 2024. She is a premium Fusion carry with powerful burst damage, strong quickswap compatibility, and excellent scaling when paired with high-quality supports.

Changli is worth pulling if you want a flexible premium Fusion DPS who can work in both more traditional carry teams and polished quickswap shells.

If you are preparing pulls or weapon resources, Topuplist offers a convenient recharge option through the dedicated Wuthering Waves top up page.

Kit Snapshot

Changli converts proper setup and pacing into high Fusion burst damage. She is more comfortable with swap-heavy or tempo-based teams than many fixed-field carries, which makes her flexible and dangerous in strong accounts.

Shell Credit

170,000 for ascension, 280,000 for one main Forte to level 10

Changli's release materials are already stable. Her main farming bottlenecks are Pavo Plum, the Ring enemy line, and Sentinel's Dagger once you start maxing her key Forte nodes.

Final Verdict

Changli remains one of the strongest and most flexible premium Fusion carries in Wuthering Waves. If you enjoy burst-heavy or quickswap-friendly play, she is still an excellent long-term investment.
