Boss design also feels like it will be a rewarding element of Wuthering Waves . We got to try a few different difficulty levels and while the first one was fairly easy, only requiring a few well-timed dodges to set up brutally efficient combos, the very next difficulty element resulted in a team wipe after an ill-timed party member swap. It’s refreshing to have combat in this genre that feels sufficiently challenging without being completely over-the-top , and early impressions make it feel like Kuro Games has managed to strike that elusive bala

Consequently, this makes highly specialized characters like Mortefi – who is a Sub-DPS through and through – much more of a universally useful unit than someone like Jianxin or Taoqi. Mortefi is one of those characters players can chuck into any team composition, and he just works . However, there are a few compositions that take full advantage of his

It’s important to claim these chests whenever you can since you can commonly get at least ten Astirite from each one . In the early game, you can find these chests by using the Sensor, but you can get better tools for exploration as you get more rewa

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,

While the environment and scenery are visually fairly indistinct from what we saw, they were interesting enough, with materials to gather, enemies to defeat, and puzzles to solve. We played through a brief logic puzzle that was just above the boss fight demo, and it was a Tetris block-style conundrum that was a fun distraction. Obviously, one puzzle isn’t enough to judge an entire game’s worth of open world content so it’s mostly speculation at this point, but based on other closed beta impressions/streams it **looks like the world of Wuthering Waves will have more than enough on offer to keep people interested in its early days

As a Glacio character, you’ll want to equip Lingyang with Echoes that will boost his Glacio damage . Because of this, you’ll want to use Echoes from the Freezing Frost Sonata Effect set. The following Echoes have this Sonata Eff

Sanhua’s Outro Skill provides a massive 38 percent damage bonus to Basic Attacks , which will greatly increase Lingyang’s damage output. Verina is a powerful supporter that can also increase your team’s damage output, while Baizhi provides heal

Encore is a great team member for Mortefi as, in her special state, she attacks in bursts of four attacks in quick succession, allowing Mortefi’s ultimate skill to buff her damage to incredible heights. As a selfish DPS, Encore wants to stay on-field for as long as possible before she self-destructs, meaning that Mortefi can press all his buttons and disappear, leaving the field to Encore, which is what Mortefi wants to do. Encore does have a higher skill ceiling than both Jiyan and Calcharo, but the payoff is incredibly h

When upgrading Lingyang’s Skills, you’ll want to prioritize them in the following order. Lingyang’s damage comes evenly from his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill . He deals the most damage by alternating these attacks , so upgrading them simultaneously is b

Just south of Qichi Village where Scar ambushed Rovers in Wuthering Waves , you can find a cave entrance near the Resonance Beacon. Enter it and climb one of the roots to collect the floating Sonance Cas

If you have a world quest around your current position, you’ll see it as a blue question mark on the map. Some quests automatically enter your quest inventory, and these include Tutorial and Exploration quests. The former introduces you to new mechanics while the latter helps you make the world a bit sa

Lingyang is one of the strongest Glacio damage dealers in the game, but you’ll want to set him up with the right weapon, Echoes, and team if you want to take full advantage of his potential. Below, we’ll take a look at the Best Roccia Weapons build to use for Lingy

A common misconception about Mortefi is that the main DPS to be paired with him must rely on heavy attacks to deal damage. That is not a requirement. While it does help if the main DPS uses heavy attacks as it takes advantage of his outro skill’s buff to heavy attacks (38%) and allows Mortefi’s ultimate skill to trigger twice on each heavy attack, this Liberatin also triggers once on basic attacks. And since basic attacks are always faster than heavy attacks, it balances
