But only one will work the best due to how his kit works. Similar to some of the last few characters, you will need to mix and match two sets for him. Let’s take a look at these:3-Piece Law of Harmony, 2-Piece Sierra Gale (or any Aero set)The 3-Piece Law of Harmony, introduced during version 2.6 of Wuthering Waves, is the perfect fit for Qiuyuan. Once you cast your Echo Skill, this set will buff your Heavy Attack damage, which complements his kit well. Additionally, this set provides a boost to the Echo Skill for the entire party and can stack up to 4 times.Law of Harmony (Image via Kuro Games)Given this is a 3-piece set, you will need to use two pieces of any of the Aero Sonata Effects as the secondary choice. All of them have the same effect of boosting your Aero Damage.Here are the stats that you should target:Cost 4: Crit. Rate or Crit.
