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
Stable and Experimental Zones are permanent, with their challenges remaining the same, offering one-time rewards for collecting all crests (1800 Asterite in total, among other rewards). Conversely, the Hazard Zone’s rotating phases provide an ongoing challenge with varied enemies, allowing players to earn rewards (Up to 700 Asterite each rotation) repeatedly as long as they can complete the required crests in each rotation. Players will also be able to collect Hazard Records as they progress, allowing them to obtain additional rewarsd including Phantom Skins for Echo’s, Premium Tuner, Credits and m
Even during the brief hands-on – and during conversation with the Kuro Games representative present during the hands-on – it became clear that Wuthering Waves has big plans for launch. There’s a wide array of content immediately available, and when I asked about post-launch plans, there wasn’t a concrete answer but an obvious indication it’s something that’s already a consideration. There’s also the fact that the team has been so readily willing to listen to player feedback. A lot of the improved elements present in this hands-on and the second closed beta are a direct result of players’ complaints from the first round of testing, with some pretty drastic redesigns already made in respo
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:
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
As you play the game more, you’ll quickly get used to seeing enemies everywhere you go. While this might make you want to ignore them, the best play would be to take the time and defeat every enemy you find . Whenever you defeat an enemy, there’s a chance for them to drop an Echo, which can be equipped on your charact
However, his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill are both outclassed in terms of usefulness by his Forte Circuit , which dictates Lingyang’s damage during his Striding Lion Dance. Because of this, you’ll want to first prioritize his Forte Circuit , then Basic Attack and Resonance Skill. Finally, Resonance Liberation and Intro Skill are lower priority, and can be upgraded la
This weapon is good if you are running a third damage-dealer instead of Verina or Baizhi and need healing, but its damage output is severely limited, especially when compared to the above 4 and 5-star weap
Encore is a powerful little DPS that has two different mechanics in Wuthering Waves . In her normal state, Encore is a ranged unit. However, once players cast her Resonance Liberation, Encore goes into melee mode and her Basic ATK starts dealing some of the highest DMG in Wuthering Wav
Calcharo : Calcharo is an Electro main Augusta DPS Build with exceptional damage potential through complex combos and a powerful Ultimate. However, his gameplay is can be considered difficult to master as players need to perfectly execute his combos, especially during his Ultimate to maintain high damage, as otherwise his damage will suffer significantly. He excels when paired with Yinlin and is a top choice for endgame content if players can handle his demanding playstyle. Priority:
Calcharo is a very dangerous mercenary who defeats his targets with his Electro DMG. Using his Broadblade, Calcharo heavily depends on his Basic and Heavy ATK to deal DMG, especially during his Resonance Liberation. Calcharo’s combos are strong and allow him to continuously deal damage effectively to single or multiple targets at o
