Review
Please keep in mind Wuthering Waves is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Wuthering Waves is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.
The best Support for a ton of Negative Status characters, a currently really strong meta archetype;
Easy rotation, almost no complexity to it;
Built-in grouping for multi-wave content;
F2P-friendly, fully operational at S0R0 (Variation is a perfectly fine replacement for her Signature Rectifier, like a lot of other supports).
Full buffs only activate under the extremely specific condition of direct Negative Status consumption, making it difficult to increase her team flexibility, as even if her S1 tries to accomplish that, it doesn’t really help her in practice;
Very low headroom for Quickswap if not nonexistent. Needs an Intro to get her rotation started quickly, wants to stay on field to do full attack chains, some of her buffs expire on swap and take a while to be able to take effect;
Low sequence value in general, one of the lowest in the modern era, basically no room for vertical investment.
Review
Suisui is a 5-star Glacio Rectifier Support whose primary role is to buff Negative Status consumers in various ways (currently, that scope extends to a few fairly obvious synergies that characterize her meta niche). She’s akin to a Mornye-type healer/buffer Support with low personal damage and a decently fast rotation with specific use cases for certain team archetypes.
Key Mechanics
Suisui has 2 stances she can alternate between throughout her rotation: Zephyr and Drizzle. However, the Zephyr stance will only really be used in her Opener rotation, since Intro makes her immediately start in Drizzle.
Each stance has its own unique set of attacks and Forte gauges. The Zephyr stance, when full, allows you to cast a special Skill to switch to Drizzle stance (useful without an Intro available). Meanwhile, the Drizzle stance allows you to build up several buffs by filling up Suisui’s Forte bar with Floral Epistle points that she consumes upon casting her Outro.
Suisui’s typical rotation has you hence entering Drizzle stance as quickly as possible (either via Zephyr form basics into Skill or via her Intro directly), to then fill up her Floral Epistle gauge to deploy her full buffs upon casting her Outro. However, her Ultimate serves as an additional buffing tool that she will definitely want to deploy every rotation, considering it allows her to increase the stack cap of all Negative Statuses but Havoc Bane by 3 (almost exactly like Chisa), while consuming Havoc Bane gives a small DEF Ignore and Havoc RES Shred boost.
Who Does She Buff & How?
Suisui’s buffs are largely concentrated in her Outro and Ultimate. However, her Echo Set and Signature weapon all contribute to the buffing total as well for the following array of buffs:
For any Negative Status but Havoc Bane: Stack cap increased by 3;
For Havoc Bane consumers: 6% DEF Ignore, 12% Havoc RES Shred;
12% general DMG Bonus and 25% general DMG Amplification on Outro;
50% ATK for Negative Status-consuming Hypercarries via her Outro effects (this expires on swap);
Throughout attacks in her kit: 5 total stacks of Glacio Chafe application per rotation;
25% ATK and an extra 20% via her Echo Set and Signature weapon if owned.
As you can tell, that makes for some pretty massive buffs for Negative Status consumers, and right now we have two such characters: Hiyuki and Yangyang: Xuanling.
Meta Position & Conclusion
Suisui is quite the restrictive buffer in the sense that she requires characters on her team to consume Negative Statuses to use the full extent of her buffs; particularly a Hypercarry DPS is ideal for this. However, only a 50% ATK buff is specifically locked behind Negative Status consumption, and overall this buff can be forfeited in the one other team Suisui is a good replacement for: Aemeath Fusion Burst.
Suisui is generally quite a good pull for Negative Status characters, particularly Hiyuki and Yangyang: Xuanling since she applies Glacio Chafe for Hiyuki and she gives specialized Havoc Bane buffs for Yangyang. While she can generally be used for Negative Status teams, her 2 niches are carved out for her, and she’s best in slot in 2 of the strongest meta teams right now, making her quite the strong meta contender.
In conclusion, Suisui’s buff conditions may be quite strict, but in spite of them she proves quite generally useful for Negative Status teams at large and serves as a much-needed replacement to Chisa in 2 important meta teams as well as the final touch needed to complete Yangyang: Xuanling’s best team, earning her a top meta spot as of her release.
Build
The percentages show the performance of the weapon based on calculations, but in some cases, some weapons might provide additional QOL that can't be quantified and it would push that weapon ahead of others in the priority (and in those cases, we would put that weapon higher).

1
Allows Suisui to buff the whole team's ATK by 25% constantly thanks to her Glacio Chafe application and Energy Regen scaling. Best overall set as it gives the best uptime on the ATK buff.
Below you can find Main Echo options:
2
Offers a 10% unconditional Healing% boost and an most importantly a 15% ATK% boost for the entire team, lasting 30 seconds whenever you heal yourself or any of your allies. This bonus is easy to keep active 100% of the time and is a good party-wide damage increase.
Below you can find Main Echo options:
Substats: Energy Regen (Until 260%) > CRIT DMG > HP% > CRIT Rate > Basic DMG% > HP
HP% main stat on slot 3 can only be done with a 5-star high Energy Regen weapon and high substat rolls - not achievable for most people. Double Energy Regen main stat is always fine to stick to.
All recommended endgame stats portray a fairly good quality endgame build as a goal to aim for on most characters. However, don’t treat this as an end-all-be-all, and more of a suggestion.
All stat recommendations are given at S0 for 5-stars, S6 for 4-stars, and free characters (unless specified otherwise), based on total stats in the in-game stat-screen with the character out of combat but also active in the party (and hence some buffs may or may not apply). Any other precision may be directly specified. If not specified, Energy Regen requirements are estimated in the character’s best team.
Keep in mind that even when optimized, Suisui deals very low personal damage, meaning investing in her damage is fully skippable. Energy Regen requirements are by far the most important stat shown.
HP: 35000-40000+
DEF: 1100+
ATK: 1100-1200+
CRIT Rate: 20%+
CRIT DMG: 250%+
Energy Regen: 260%
This is the amount of Energy Regen that is required to get the maximum potential out of Suisui’s buffs.
Glacio DMG Bonus: 0%+
Below you can find the order of leveling the abilities for Suisui.

Anything but Intro can be skipped when levelling to save out on resources at a minimal damage loss.
Gameplay and teams
Suisui’s rotation focuses on her accumulating Floral Epistle as quickly as possible before accessing her Outro. To do this, simply rotate like so depending on if an Intro is available or not:
Used when an Intro is not readily available for Suisui to use, typically once per fight.
Basic: Zephyr 1
Basic: Zephyr 2
Basic: Zephyr 3
Skill: Awakening Spring
Basic: Swallow's Cut
Basic: Drizzle 1
Basic: Drizzle 2
Basic: Drizzle 3
Basic: Drizzle 4 (Cancel animation endlag via Ultimate)
Ultimate
Outro
Used whenever an Intro is available
Intro
Skill: Drizzle (Cancel animation via Dash on 1st hit)
Dash
Basic: Drizzle 1
Basic: Drizzle 2
Basic: Drizzle 3
Basic: Drizzle 4 (Cancel animation endlag via Ultimate)
Ultimate
Outro
At S3 and above, simply skip from Skill: Drizzle right into Basic: Drizzle 4 to save a lot of time and make Suisui’s rotations much faster. The Dash cancel is optional and saves only a few frames, so you can refrain from doing it if you’re not comfortable with timing it nearly perfectly.
Yangyang Xuanling 
Hiyuki 
Aemeath - Suisui is the best Support for 2 of the best Negative Status damage dealers in the game right now, Yangyang: Xuanling and Hiyuki, as they are the only 2 capable of taking full advantage of her buffs. Still, Aemeath in her Fusion Burst team can take good leverage out of the majority of her buffs, making Suisui a viable alternative to another one of the strongest Negative Status teams in the game.Best Team
Phrolova may display the strongest results in Whimpering Wastes.
