Her kit revolves around a unique dual-stance mechanic called Cleansing and Cleansing Rain. By weaving between these states, she not only heals but also builds up a resource called Floral Epistle. The more stacks she gathers before swapping out, the more powerful her buffs become. If you love a healer who actively rewards mechanical skill and rotation mastery instead of just pressing a button, she’s your girl.

She is a cornerstone for Glacio Chafe teams. Her ability to manipulate this Negative Status makes her essential if you want to shred enemy resistance and lock down bosses. She is a bit squishy herself, but her utility is so high that you’ll want to master her flow to protect her.

How Do Suisui's Skills Work?

Understanding Suisui means understanding her flow. She isn’t a “set and forget” support. She has two stances that you need to swap between to maximize her healing and buff output. Here’s the breakdown in simple terms.

Cleansing State (Basic Mode)

This is her default stance. While here, her Normal Attacks and Dodge Counters build up Stillness.

Awakening Spring (Stance Switch)

Once her Stillness gauge is full, her Resonance Skill transforms. Cast it. She consumes all Stillness, enters the Cleansing Rain state, heals the team, and applies Glacio Chafe. This skill also grants the team a stack of Enrichment, a buff that lets the active character receive healing over time from her.

Cleansing Rain State (Enhanced Mode)

This lasts 15 seconds. She unlocks a new string of Basic Attacks, a Heavy Attack, and two unique Plunging Attacks (Illuminating Dew and Swallow’s Cut). Hitting enemies now builds up Floral Epistle stacks instead of Stillness. Her resistance to interruption also gets a slight boost here.

Song of Thoroughfare (Resonance Liberation)

She deploys a field called Ceaseless Landscape. This is the core of her team utility. It enhances all Negative Status effects for your party—allowing Glacio Chafe, Spectro Frazzle, Fusion Burst, etc., to stack higher. It also lets Havoc teammates ignore a chunk of enemy DEF and RES.

Rippling Waters (Outro Skill)

This is where her micro-management pays off. She leaves the field and consumes all her Floral Epistle stacks. The more stacks she consumes, the crazier the buffs for the incoming Resonator. This ranges from All DMG Amplification, to interruption resistance, to a massive ATK steroid that scales with her Energy Regen.

The Best Combat Rotation

Start in Cleansing: Use Normal Attacks and Dodge Counters to fill the Stillness gauge to max (120 points).
Swap to Cleansing Rain: Cast Awakening Spring the moment Stillness is full. This heals, buffs, and applies Glacio Chafe.
Build Your Buff: Spam Basic Attacks and Heavy Attacks in Cleansing Rain to stack Floral Epistle as high as possible. Don’t forget to use your unique plunging attack combos for extra hits.
Lock in the Field: Cast Song of Thoroughfare to drop her ultimate field.
Outro to your DPS: Switch characters. Your main carry will now receive a massive damage amp and ATK boost based on how many Floral Epistle stacks you farmed.

What is the Best Weapon for Suisui?

Best-in-Slot (Signature Weapon): Dew Imbiber

This is her 5-star Rectifier and it’s tailor-made for her. It comes with 77.04% Energy Regen at max level, which directly translates into more ATK for her team via her Outro Skill. Its passive grants bonus HP, Concerto Energy, and a unique Kingfisher buff that boosts the team’s ATK while also triggering secondary healing and Glacio Chafe synergies. If you plan to main her, this weapon is an absolute monster for team damage.

Premium Alternative: Stellar Symphony

This 5-star Rectifier is a fantastic stat stick. It also provides a massive 77.04% Energy Regen. Its passive increases HP and grants an ATK buff to the party when she casts a healing Resonance Skill. It lacks the intricate Glacio Chafe synergy of Dew Imbiber but provides consistent, unconditional team support.

F2P/Budget Option: Variation

This 4-star Rectifier is the best budget option simply because it offers 51.84% Energy Regen. Her healing values are important, but hitting high Energy Regen thresholds (over 200%) is critical to maximizing her team-wide ATK buffs. The Concerto Energy restore on skill cast is a nice little bonus to speed up her rotations.

Which Gear and Stats Maximize Suisui's Damage?

We are currently waiting for details on the new Version 3.5 Echo sets to be fully theorycrafted. Suisui does not rely on her own personal damage. She is a pure support who scales her buffs off stats like Energy Regen and her healing off HP. Currently, gear sets that offer Energy Regen and party buffs are likely to be strongest. This section will be updated with specific set names and testing upon release.

When it comes to your Echo main stats and substats, here is your priority list:

Main Stat Priority (4-3-3-1-1)

4-Cost: HP% or Healing Bonus% (Healing Bonus is preferred if you find your team is taking heavy hits).
3-Cost: Energy Regen% / Energy Regen%. You absolutely want to stack this to break the 200% threshold.
1-Cost: HP%.

Substat Priority

Energy Regen (Until you hit your required breakpoint for the ATK conversion).
HP% (Increases healing output and survivability).
Flat HP (Secondary scaling for heals).

What Are the Best Team Comps for Suisui?

Suisui’s utility is specifically tuned for a few premium carries. She needs teammates who can trigger Negative Statuses to abuse her ultimate field.

Team 1: Premium Hyper-Carry (Glacio Focus)

Main DPS: Hiyuki
Sub-DPS/Support: Lucilla
Healer/Amplifier: Suisui

This is her dream team. Lucilla acts as a quick-swap Concerto Efficiency machine who shreds Glacio RES and amplifies Glacio Chafe DMG. When the active Resonator inflicts Glacio Chafe, Lucilla can consume stacks to trigger even more off-field stacks. Suisui ties it all together. She pops her Ceaseless Landscape to increase the stack limit of Glacio Chafe, and then she Outros to Hiyuki with max Floral Epistle to skyrocket Hiyuki’s ATK. This team has monstrous DoT pressure.

Team 2: Havoc Bane Synergy

Main DPS: Yangyang: Xuanling
Sub-DPS/Support: Chisa
Healer/Amplifier: Suisui

This team shifts focus to Havoc Bane. Yangyang: Xuanling is a Heavy Attack hyper-carry who applies tons of Havoc Bane stacks, and her damage scales exponentially with them. Chisa provides further DEF shred and increases the max Havoc Bane stacks. Enter Suisui: her ultimate allows Havoc Bane to ignore enemy DEF and Havoc RES, and again, her Outro buff makes Xuanling hit like a truck. You are essentially creating a window where the boss has no armor and you are dealing pure, unmitigated damage.

Which Resonance Chain(Awakenings) Are Worth Getting?

Suisui has a very strong base kit at Sequence 0, making her friendly for low spenders. However, her Sequences offer some insane power spikes, particularly to her buffing capabilities.

Sequence	Effect	Value/Verdict
R1 (Mountains Washed Into Paintings)	Outro ATK buff can be triggered via Negative Status DMG. Extends ultimate field duration and interruption immunity for Normal and Heavy attacks.	Excellent QoL & Buffing. Keeps her field up longer and activates her steroid more easily. A huge boost.
R2 (Clouds Pour Like Molten Gold)	Team inside the field gains 40% All-Attribute DMG Bonus.	Must-Pull Support Spike. This is a massive, unconditional damage steroid for the whole party. Stop here if you're lucky.
R3 (Sparse Curtains Invite Evening Glow)	Casting Illuminating Dew grants 18 Concerto Energy and 350 Floral Epistle.	Rotation Accelerator. Makes stacking Floral Epistle trivial so you get max Outro buffs without the grind. Great value.
R4 (Autumn Mountains I Chant Together)	Healing from Enrichment and Spring’s Birth increased by 50%.	Survivability Boost. A decent comfort constellation, but not a DPS increase. Low priority.
R5 (I Long To Ride The Eastern Wind)	Cleansing Rain Basic and Heavy Attack DMG multipliers increased by 100%.	Personal Damage Niche. Fun if you want to meme with DPS Suisui, but doesn’t amplify her support value.
R6 (Staying True To This Splendid Realm)	Intro Skill and Awakening Spring Crit DMG increased by 500%.	Nuke Entry. Her swap-in becomes a massive tactical nuke. A fun flex pull, but overkill for pure support builds.

Stopping Point: S2 is the golden spot. It’s a massive team damage amplifier. S3 is your target if you want to fully optimize her rotation consistency.

Is Suisui Worth Pulling?

Yes, absolutely—if she fits your account. Let’s be real: she is not a hyper-carry. If your account is starving for a main DPS, she won’t fix that. However, if you have a strong main damage dealer who relies on Glacio Chafe or Havoc Bane, she becomes the best force multiplier in the game.

On the plus side, Suisui offers unmatched damage amplification thanks to her conversion of Energy Regen into party ATK, which can be utterly broken in the right setup. Her elite sustain keeps your team healthy, and her passive Shifting Gold even prevents fatal one-shots, making her a safety net in tough fights. She also stands as the undisputed Glacio Chafe queen, enabling entire archetypes by raising Negative Status stack limits and shredding enemy resistance.

That said, she comes with a few caveats. Suisui carries a high skill ceiling—mastering the Cleansing Rain rotation to max out Floral Epistle before swapping takes practice and game sense. She is also extremely energy dependent; if you can’t reach the 200%+ Energy Regen threshold, you lose a significant chunk of her buffing power. Finally, her kit is synergy locked, meaning her full potential is wasted outside of teams that focus on abusing Negative Statuses. If you’re willing to invest in the right teammates and gear, however, Suisui will transform your account into a buffing powerhouse.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much Energy Regen does this support need to maximize her damage buff?

The magical number is 200% Energy Regen. Her Outro Skill grants 0.2% DMG for every 1% of Energy Regen over 200%, up to 12%. But the real kicker is the ATK conversion at the 600-stack Floral Epistle threshold, which gives 0.1% ATK for every 0.12% Energy Regen over 200%, capping at 50% ATK. You need to prioritize Energy Regen on every 3-cost Echo and your weapon to reach this. Variation or her signature are required.

Why does my Suisui keep dying when I switch to her?

She is a Rectifier user with no inherent DEF boosts. She’s squishy. You’re likely getting hit during her Cleansing Rain attack strings. Remember that casting her Basic Attack Stage 4 applies Glacio Chafe but locks her into a long animation. Use her Realization mechanic (Dodge during certain attacks) to dodge-cancel safely. Don't just face-tank enemies because she has heals—play her like a melee DPS when building stacks.

What is the best combo to build Floral Epistle stacks quickly for her Outro Skill?

Forget basic attack spamming. The absolute fastest way to stack Floral Epistle is utilizing her Illuminating Dew plunging combo. After casting her Heavy Attack in Cleansing Rain, press Normal Attack. This consumes STA but gives a massive burst of stacks. Combine this with her S3, which grants 350 Floral Epistle for using Illuminating Dew, to cap out instantly.
