Verdict: While the early-game meta is prone to change, players aiming for an early advantage in endgame content should prioritize obtaining Verina, with Encore and Calcharo being secondary options. That being the case, if players are only looking for one of these characters to obtain, they should not need to spend as much as time with rerolling, as they can pick any of them for their Beginner Convene after the first 50 pulls are comple

**Wuthering Waves employs a 3-unit combat system with a design focus on swapping between them at beneficial times ** during battle to maximize their synergies. It’s not ground-breaking, but the implementation is excellent – slowly building up a charge bar while using abilities and properly timing dodges allows players to then swap into a new unit that has an immediate effect upon entering the battlefield. We didn’t get a chance to really examine what those abilities are, but they seem to range from doing damage to setting up better positioning for a New update character unlocking skill in
As mentioned above, you have two main mechanics to prevent damage from enemy attacks apart from shields. You can either dodge at the right time or use an attack when the enemies’ attack shows a Weakness Halo . However, the second method is far better whenever possible as it also deals massive damage to the enemy’s Vibration
While combat was a showcase of improvements and innovations, the brief amount of open world traversal/hub navigation available in the hands-on indicates that Wuthering Waves exploration will be a solid bedrock of what already works in the genre. Grappling hooks, gliders, and sprinting were all options, and each was implemented smoothly. There’s also a parkour system that lets characters run up walls/cliffsides, which is a nice touch and an improvement on the slow climb other titles tend to h
Once you progress in the game’s story a little and gain some Union levels, you’ll start seeing various world bosses and weekly bosses on the map . You’ll need materials from these bosses to upgrade certain characters, but more than that, you’ll need the EXP they provide for the first clear in the early g
Encore may not be as powerful as Calcharo and Jiyan in Wuthering Waves , but she’s still highly viable as a main DPS. To play Encore, players must take note of her Resonance Liberation (Ultimate), as her Ult enhances her hits and puts her in a state where she goes berserk on enem
While attending the Game Developers Conference 2024, Screen Rant was able to participate in a hands-on demonstration of a newer build of Wuthering Waves . Following a brief demonstration of mechanics from a member of the Kuro Games team, we were able to play through a brief combat section against a boss, an open-world puzzle, and some exploration of one of the game’s settlements. Make no mistake: this game is unabashedly attempting to capitalize on the space Genshin Impact carved out for the genre years ago. But it does it well enough that it feels like it has its own identity,
The last innovation in combat is Wuthering Waves ‘ echo system, which is sort of a blend between traditional equipment-based abilities and a creature collecting game. Players can collect the Echoes of enemies they defeat in the game and then equip them to a character (one per unit), which in turn provides stat bonuses and the ability to transform into that echo during a battle to briefly call upon their abilities. We defeated a boss, equipped their Echo, and then used it in the next battle to great effect; it was also pretty cool to occupy the body of an enemy that was fun to fight just minutes bef
Encore: Encore is perfect hybrid DPS in terms of being able to dish out both ranged and melee attacks, since she transforms into a melee powerhouse during her Ultimate, dealing most of her damage during this period. Her Ultimate combo is straightforward and forgiving, making her easier to play than characters like Calcharo on that regard, though she will have hard time parrying, which might be quite a deal-breaker for some players. Encore boasts one of the highest single-target DPS windows, but as of now, she does not have a well-synergizing sub-dps partner, except Sanhua. In short, Encore is a solid DPS and is highly effective in the Tower of Adversity, but her ideal team composition is a little lacking due to the existing roster of characters. DPS wise, she is similar to Calcharo, and ultimately players should pick either one of them depending on their preference in play style, or character design, if they are intending to pick a DPS character as their priority. Priority:
In short, rerolling in Wuthering Waves is not worth the effort. The process takes around 35-45 minutes for each reroll similar to many popular games like Honkai: Star Rail or Genshin Impact , and it can extend to a few days since players will receive additional pull chances in the upcoming days. Moreover, each reroll requires creating a new account and binding it to a new email address, further lengthening the process. Additionally, players can quickly obtain a 5-star character from the limited roster in 50 pulls (worth 40 pulls due to discounted pulls) and select the next 5-star standard character within the next 80 pu
