Yinlin team mate suggestion in Wuthering Waves

Yinlin is a secondary DPS who can perform off-field coordinated attacks with the active character. Here is a list of characters who works the best with her.
- Calcharo
- Verina
- Sanhua
- Havoc Rover
Yinlin works the best as a sub-DPS for Calcharo, but if you don’t have him, you can run her as an onfield DPS with Sanhua acting as the secondary damage dealer. She is quite flexible when it comes to her main role as a DPS unit.
