Wuthering Waves: Best DPS Characters, Ranked

Wuthering Waves is an action role-playing game that heavily relies on the hack-and-slash element for combat. Because of that, DPS is a big part of the game’s mechanics to ensure balanced encounters between characters and enemy monsters. Yet, with the journey of making every character feel unique, you’re bound to always have some units perform better than oth

Thanks to her flexibility, players can put Encore into various teams where she can either play as a powerhouse, hyper-carry, or a strong quick-swap style character. Her ultimate is not the only skill that makes her powerful. Her inherent skills also increase her fusion damage, allowing her to burn enemies to ashes. On top of that, she can also recover energy for herself and the team, making her a decent support as well as a damage dea

The ideal rotation for this team is for Yuanwu to put down his pillar, destroy it with a heavy attack to enter his buffed state, and then use his Liberation once it ends. Lingyang swoops in as soon as this happens, with his Forte Circuit charged up, and holds Heavy Attack to become a lion dancer. Baizhi is mainly here to provide healing, and with the Moonlit Clouds set, ER is taken care of. Yuanwu should also be running the Moonlit Clouds set to ensure neither he nor Lingyang has to stay on-field for a long time to charge up their Liberations. This is a quickswap team, with most of the field time split between Lingyang and Yuanwu, with Baizhi only making an occasional appeara

Mortefi’s utility as a sub DPS doesn’t stop here. His ultimate skill is a rare coordinated attack that applies a buff to team members. When this buff is active, whenever that team member hits an enemy, Mortefi lands a coordinated attack. This attack doubles when the other character uses a heavy attack, further increasing the total damage output. Mortefi also has a quick Concerto rotation, which allows him to complete his lightning combo quickly, swap with other characters, and buff them to increase their damage out

Verina's primary function is as a healer for when either Sanhua or Encore take damage, but she buffs Encore's (and Sanhua's) damage with her Liberation as well, applying the Photosynthesis mark to nearby enemies, which allows her to attack in tandem with the on-field unit even when she's not th

Carlotta, Camellya, and Jinhsi are arguably similar in terms of overall power, but each has their own notable features. Carlotta is a prime ranged character who can keep a safe distance in battle. Her hits are mainly single-target, making her a poor option in AoE ca

Like Encore, Lingyang also heavily relies on using his basic attacks to deal damage, making him a perfect unit to be paired with Sanhua. Both in his buffed Striding Lion State and in his normal state, Lingyang's damage comes from his lightning-fast basic punches. And since his attack speed is so fast, he takes full advantage of the +38% basic attack DMG buff Sanhua provi

Jiyan, with his Resonance Liberation and Heavy ATK, is one of the strongest characters in Wuthering Waves . His ability to control all enemies around him while dealing a massive amount of DMG, puts him on top of any tier list. Jiyan also enjoys a great partnership with Mortefi since both of them trigger the best in each other’s kits and synergize perfectly to clear any hard cont

On the flip side, Encore also serves as a good quick swap DPS thanks to her Resonance skill, which is swap cancelable. Her skill can deal a great amount of damage in a short period and can regenerate a great amount of energy and concerto energy for the team, making her a good choice for play
