Verina is one of the best healers in Wuthering Waves . Not only that, but she also excels in her role as a DMG buffer . What makes her so good is her ability to do both while off-field since most of Verina’s healing comes from her Resonance Liberation, while her buffs are triggered once she activates her Outro Sk

Similarly, Guardian Sword is fine if it’s your only option, but shouldn’t be used in place of any of the weapons above. Guardian’s Sword’s increase to Resonance Skill damage does come in handy for Danjin, howe

Once you’ve put your Sun-Sinking Eclipse set together, you’ll want to search for Echo copies with better main and sub stats. For Danjin, you’ll want to focus on increasing her damage , so we recommend seeking out the following stats for your Ech

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

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

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 update character unlocking 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

Emerald of Genesis is a great weapon for Danjin because of its high base stats as a 5-star. Additionally, its effect provides Energy Regen so Danjin can use her Resonance Liberation more frequently , as well as an attack buff when using her Resonance Skill, which has 100% uptime due to the skill having no coold

Just like Xingqiu from Genshin Impact , Mortefi is an off-field monster of a DPS in Wuthering Waves . His ability to follow-up characters DMG with his own for 10 seconds allows him to almost match their performance while not even being on the fi

Aalto is extremely fun to get around the open world in Wuthering Waves . His ability to troll enemies and taunt them with his Basic ATK and Resonance Skill is hilarious and very useful in these situations. However, when it comes to endgame content and holding his own against enemies that want to shred you to pieces, he falls hard in the ranks to settle as a B-Tier u

Because Baizhi is a healer, you can really fit her into any team that needs healing . Her Outro Skill and the Rejuvenating Glow Sonata Effect provide damage buffs as well, making her extremely versatile no matter what situation you’re

Danjin is a 4-star Havoc Resonator in Wuthering Waves . With her Scarlet Shade Resonance Power, Danjin sacrifices her own blood in her pursuit of justice. Danjin’s playstyle revolves around consuming her own health through her Resonance Skill, then healing herself with her Heavy Att

Lingyang: Lingyang is a melee DPS character with a unique playstyle that divides opinions. Like Calcharo and Encore, he deals most of his damage during his Ultimate, which enhances his normal combos. During his Ultimate, Lingyang is in the air, essentially flying, making him a good choice for players that enjoy such a combat style. Nevertheless, while this flying ability is unique, it also presents challenges. Players have limited control over direction and dodging, and issues with hitboxes can cause missed attacks, resulting in potential significant damage loss. Nevertheless, he is quite beginner-friendly and easy to master as far as his combos go, since they are essentially executable with button-mashing. In short, despite Lingyang’s unique playstyle, his lower damage output compared to Encore or Calcharo him less appealing as a main damage dealer. Priority:
