Lily Makes Hsin the Strongest DPS in the Game? Full Calculations

Hsin, Suoming and Lily reach 2,884,326.379 damage per rotation in the supplied version 3.8.5 calculation. It is the highest team DPR currently stored in Gwisted's Wuthering Waves calculation database, checked on November 8, 2026. Hsin supplies more than 71% of that damage.

That gives the strongest-DPS headline a real calculation to examine. It does not settle a universal ranking: the source gives a 25–28 second rotation range, while other teams use different timings, equipment and assumptions. Here is the complete breakdown, including what changes with Lily's weapon investment and Resonance Chains.

The setup behind the 2.884 million result

The team uses Hsin S0R1, Suoming S0R1 and Lily S0R1. Their linked weapons are Blooming Jadehaven, Unspoken Rue and Lullaby, respectively. Lily uses five-piece Flower of Tinged Yearning in the Unison setup.

The source is the Lily (WIP) tab in DPR Calc Results, labeled Lily Ver 3.8.5. Its team table specifies a 25–28 second rotation averaged over four loops. Total damage includes a separate Tune Break contribution. These are supplied calculations, rather than a new combat test or simulation performed for this article.

Full damage breakdown: who contributes what?

• Hsin: 2,051,822.947 damage, or approximately 71.14% of the full total.
• Suoming: 704,384.1873 damage, or approximately 24.42%.
• Lily: 65,430.82743 damage, or approximately 2.27%.
• Separate Tune Break contribution: approximately 62,688.41727 damage, or 2.17%.
• Team total, including Tune Break: 2,884,326.379 damage per rotation.

The three character contributions add to 2,821,637.96173. Subtracting that from the team total leaves the separate Tune Break amount above. This is why the character bars do not add to 100%: the display preserves their shares of the complete total instead of distributing Tune Break among them.

Hsin's 2.052 million contribution is his calculated personal damage during the team rotation. The 2.884 million headline belongs to the whole team. Calling all of it Hsin's personal damage would overstate his result.

What Lily contributes beyond her own damage

Lily's direct damage is a small part of this lineup's total. Her role is to keep the carry and sub-DPS supported through healing and buffs.

Her version 3.8.5 kit provides a team damage-amplification effect through Outro. Silvered Dream adds support for Unison users, while Liberation establishes Cradle Lullaby and lets teammate Intro Skills build Dream Aroma. Energy Regen affects several of those benefits, making her stat setup relevant to more than her own damage numbers.

The practical point is to evaluate Lily through the entire team's result. A low personal damage share does not measure the value of the buffs, healing and interruption resistance she provides. Equally, the damage table does not isolate exactly how much of Hsin's damage came from each individual buff.

Lily S0R0 versus S0R1: the weapon investment gap

Holding Hsin and Suoming at S0R1, the sheet lists these two setups:

• Lily S0R0: 2,740,271.796 team damage per rotation.
• Lily S0R1: 2,884,326.379 team damage per rotation.

The absolute difference is 144,054.583 damage. Dividing that difference by the S0R0 total gives an approximately 5.26% team improvement in this comparison.

S0R1 means Lily is using Lullaby at rank 1. The source does not identify her S0R0 weapon. This comparison therefore cannot establish that Lullaby is precisely 5.26% ahead of Static Mist, Thunderbolt or another named alternative. It also does not mean Lily's personal damage increases by the same percentage.

Lily's Resonance Chains with Hsin and Suoming

The separate investment table holds Hsin and Suoming at S0R1 and compares Lily at these levels:

• Lily S0R1: 2,884,326.379 team damage, the 100% reference.
• Lily S1R1: 2,930,679.094 team damage, 101.61% of the reference.
• Lily S2R1: 3,322,512.245 team damage, 115.19% of the reference.

S1 is approximately 1.61% above S0R1. S2 is approximately 15.19% above S0R1, or 13.37% above S1R1. Those two S2 percentages use different denominators and should not be added together.

S1's kit changes include stronger interruption protection during her Heavy Attack sequence and faster Dream Aroma stacking. S2 adds CRIT benefits through Dream Aroma. The calculation records their combined result in this particular team; it does not assign a separate damage value to each effect. No S3–S6 damage comparison is supplied.

Hsin with Jinhsi is a separate Unison option

The same Lily sheet also lists Hsin S0R1, Jinhsi S0R1 and Lily S0R1 at 2,124,772.871 total damage. Its slot contributions are 1,045,606.132 from Hsin, 951,047.4956 from Jinhsi and 65,430.82743 from Lily, plus the separate Tune Break amount.

That is approximately 73.67% of the Hsin/Suoming/Lily total in these rows. It supports choosing Suoming for the higher supplied rotation result when both lineups are available. It does not prove that replacing Jinhsi with Suoming always creates that exact gain under different builds or encounter conditions.

Highest DPR is not automatically highest DPS

Damage per rotation and damage per second answer different questions. Taking the 2,884,326.379 total and dividing by the endpoints of the supplied timing range gives approximately 103.01K–115.37K average team damage per second.

That is an arithmetic range, not a DPS figure published by the sheet. It assumes the displayed damage total corresponds to a complete rotation taking either 28 or 25 seconds. The source does not identify a single exact duration, so the live calculation keeps its DPS field empty.

The distinction can change a ranking. Gwisted's stored Qingxiao/Denia/Mornye record lists 2,668,761.26 damage over 25 seconds, which works out to approximately 106.75K per second. That sits inside Hsin's timing-based range. These records also come from different source snapshots, so they are not a controlled matchup. Their purpose here is to show why sorting rotation totals cannot, by itself, settle the strongest-DPS claim.

The verdict from the available calculations

Lily puts Hsin/Suoming at the top of Gwisted's currently stored team-DPR results, with a 2.884 million S0R1 rotation and a 3.323 million result when Lily reaches S2R1 in the separate investment table. Those are substantial results worth examining.

The evidence supports that specific claim. A game-wide strongest-DPS verdict would need comparable investment, enemy conditions and exact rotation timing across competing teams. Until then, use the linked calculation pages to inspect the supplied setups, and treat the version 3.8.5 WIP figures as provisional.
