Hsin arrives in Wuthering Waves Version 3.7 as the game's first playable Sentinel — a 5-star Electro Rectifier user whose kit revolves around two combat forms, two Resonance Modes, and a resource system that rewards precision over button-mashing. She is a Resonance Skill damage dealer who can either drive Electro Flare detonations or enable teamwide Unison synergy, making her one of the more technically demanding units Kuro Games has designed.
That complexity extends to weapon selection. Hsin's damage profile is unusually specific: her enhanced attacks, Formshift detonations, and Pillars Across Heaven all classify as Resonance Skill damage, meaning generic Attack or Basic Attack weapons lose significant value on her. This guide breaks down every realistic Rectifier option for Hsin, from her signature weapon to free-to-play fallbacks, and explains when each one makes sense for your account.
Rarity: 5-Star | Attribute: Electro | Weapon: Rectifier
Blooming Jadehaven: The Signature!
Blooming Jadehaven is Hsin's 5-star signature Rectifier, releasing alongside her banner on September 30, 2026. It is the only weapon in the game currently designed around Hsin's exact damage patterns.

Passive (R1) |
12% All-Attribute DMG Bonus; after inflicting Electro Flare or triggering Unison Response, Resonance Skill DMG is amplified by 36% and ignores 10% of the target's Electro RES; Electro Flare DMG taken by nearby targets is amplified by 30% for 30s |
Every component of this passive feeds directly into Hsin's strongest multipliers. The 36% Resonance Skill amplification applies to her Formshift nukes, her Illumining Form enhanced attacks, and her Pillars Across Heaven coordinated strikes — essentially her entire rotation. The 10% Electro RES ignore is the first of its kind on a Rectifier, and it stacks multiplicatively with other resistance shred sources.
The Electro Flare amplification is narrower but meaningful in Electro Flare Mode, where Hsin herself applies the status through enhanced attacks and converts teammates' Electro Rage into Heart of Thunder for detonation. The 30% field-wide amplification effectively turns every Electro Flare tick into a miniature burst window.
Should You Pull?
If you plan to use Hsin as your primary Electro DPS, Blooming Jadehaven is the single biggest damage upgrade available to her. Community calculations place it roughly 40% ahead of the next best option in pure damage output. For most players, S0R1 is the natural stopping point — securing both the character and her weapon before considering Resonance Chains.
The weapon banner for Version 3.7 Phase 1 runs alongside Fusion Accretion, Dauntless Evernight, and Commando of Conviction as featured 4-stars, so even a failed 50/50 on the 5-star gives you useful consolation pulls.
Lethean Elegy: The Premium Alternative You Might Already Own
If you picked up Lethean Elegy during a previous banner, you already have Hsin's strongest non-signature option.
Lethean Elegy shares the same 588 Base ATK and 24.3% CRIT Rate substat as Blooming Jadehaven, which means your Echo farming targets remain identical regardless of which weapon you use. Its passive delivers strong Resonance Skill bonuses that align well with Hsin's damage distribution, even if not every line of text is perfectly tailored to her kit.
The gap between Lethean Elegy and Blooming Jadehaven is real but not catastrophic. You lose the Electro RES ignore and the Electro Flare field amplification, but the core Resonance Skill amplification remains intact. For players who already own Lethean Elegy, pulling Blooming Jadehaven is a luxury upgrade rather than a necessity — especially if you are also planning to pull Suoming in Phase 2.
Stringmaster: The Universal Fallback
Stringmaster remains the most flexible Rectifier in Wuthering Waves, and that flexibility translates into a comfortable Hsin option.
Its 36% CRIT Rate substat is the highest of any Rectifier, which dramatically eases the CRIT Rate requirements on your Echo substats. In practice, running Stringmaster lets you prioritize CRIT DMG and Resonance Skill DMG rolls on your Echoes instead of hunting for CRIT Rate, potentially resulting in a stronger overall build than a poorly-rolled signature setup.
The passive — Attribute DMG and ATK bonuses that double when off-field with coordinated attacks — activates reliably on Hsin. Her Formshift grants Edict stacks that summon Soaring Pillars as coordinated attacks whenever the active Resonator deals damage, which keeps Stringmaster's off-field condition satisfied even when Hsin is not the active character.
Cosmic Ripples: The Standard 5-Star Placeholder
Cosmic Ripples is the free 5-star Rectifier available through standard progression, and it fills a specific role for Hsin: a stat stick that lets you function while saving for a better weapon.
Its 54% ATK substat and 12.8% Energy Regen are useful, but the passive — stacking Basic Attack DMG bonuses — is largely wasted on Hsin. Her rotation is built around Resonance Skill damage and Formshift detonations, not sustained Basic Attack strings. You gain the raw stats of a 5-star weapon without any meaningful passive synergy.
Treat Cosmic Ripples as a bridge. It is better than any 4-star option by virtue of base stats alone, but it is not a long-term answer.
Star Options
For players without a 5-star Rectifier, Fusion Accretion is the most practical 4-star choice. Its substat provides 18% ATK, and casting Resonance Skill grants 6 Resonance Energy plus 10% ATK for 16 seconds, triggerable once every 20 seconds.
The Energy refund is more valuable than it first appears. Hsin's rotation involves multiple Resonance Skill casts per cycle, and the extra Energy smooths her Liberation uptime, which in turn enables her Formshift windows. The ATK buff, while modest, aligns with her damage scaling.
Other 4-star Rectifiers like Waltz in Masquerade can function as placeholders, but none offer the combination of Energy generation and ATK that Fusion Accretion provides. If you are pre-farming for Hsin and expect to run her without a 5-star weapon initially, Fusion Accretion is worth building to Level 90.
How Weapon Choice Interacts With Hsin's Kits
The weapon decision does not happen in a vacuum. Hsin's two Resonance Modes place different demands on her gear.
- In Electro Flare Mode, her personal damage scales directly with Resonance Skill amplification and Electro DMG bonuses. Blooming Jadehaven's 36% Resonance Skill amplification and Electro RES ignore produce the largest personal damage numbers in this mode. Electro Flare teammates like Electro Rover and Buling accelerate her stack generation, but the weapon determines how hard those detonations hit.
- In Unison Mode, Hsin's role shifts toward enabling teamwide damage through Unison Boon stacks and rapid Intro/Outro cycling. Weapon damage still matters, but the marginal value of a signature weapon decreases slightly because a larger share of team damage comes from your Unison partner. If you plan to run Hsin primarily as a Unison enabler for a Jinhsi or future Unison DPS, Stringmaster's universal stats become more competitive.

Echo and Stat Considerations
Weapon substats directly influence your Echo targets. With Blooming Jadehaven or Lethean Elegy, your 4-Cost Echo should prioritize CRIT DMG to balance the 24.3% CRIT Rate from the weapon. With Stringmaster, the opposite is true — the 36% CRIT Rate means you can stack CRIT DMG on Echoes with far less pressure on substat rolls.
Regardless of weapon, your 3-Cost Echoes should be Electro DMG and your 1-Cost Echoes should be ATK%.
For substats, the priority order is CRIT DMG ≈ CRIT Rate > Resonance Skill DMG > Energy Regen. The new Heart of Sworn Vigil Echo set is Hsin's best-in-slot, triggering its Crit Rate and Electro DMG bonuses through the same Electro Flare and Unison conditions that her signature weapon rewards.
Final Verdict: Matching Your Weapon to Your Account
Hsin's weapon situation is straightforward once you strip away the hype.
- Pull Blooming Jadehaven if: Hsin is your main Electro DPS, you plan to use her in Electro Flare Mode for maximum personal damage, and you can afford the weapon banner after securing her. The 40% gap over alternatives is too large to ignore for a carry you intend to invest in long-term.
- Skip Blooming Jadehaven if: You already own Lethean Elegy or Stringmaster and want to save pulls for Suoming in Phase 2. The performance loss is real but manageable, especially if your Echo substats are strong enough to compensate.
- Use Cosmic Ripples or Fusion Accretion if: You are a newer player without a 5-star Rectifier, or you are building Hsin as a secondary Unison enabler rather than a primary carry. Neither weapon will win damage contests, but both keep her functional while you save for a proper upgrade.
Hsin rewards players who understand her resource management, not just her weapon banner. The right Rectifier amplifies her ceiling, but the wrong one does not break her — it simply moves her from top-tier Electro DPS to a serviceable contributor. Choose based on your account, your pull budget, and how much you intend to invest in the Moonfox Sentinel.
If you need more Lunites when Hsin arrives, you can top up Wuthering Waves on Mone before deciding how far you want to invest in her team.
