Wuthering Waves Preparation

Wuthering Waves Tier List

Best Wuthering Waves characters in the latest meta. Rated and ranked for DPS, sub-carry, and support, with detailed explanations.

Main Carry (DPS)

  • Encore is extremely good, just lacks the supports that other characters have.
  • Danjin is with an *. She gets a lot of base stats and just works really well without much effort.
  • Rover / Yinlin are there as a playstyle option, that is just not as good as their original intent (sup-dps)

Secondary / Sub-carry (Sub-DPS)

  • Yinlin & Sanhua are the best when it comes to dealing quick damage, regenerating energy and their buffs.
  • Aalto's outro is not as good for Jiyan as Mortefi, his damage is really low, his other utilities really suck. He has nothing going on for him with the current cast of characters realistically.
  • Yangyang doesn't really make for a "best" option in any team. Same thing for Rover, only Rover's damage is actually good.

Support / Sustain

  • Baizhi and Verina are the most flexible supports due to their stacking buffs that can fit in any team. Even if you have Verina, building Baizhi is super useful for a strong 2nd team.
  • Jianxin's liberation buff is decent, her damage can be decent with good swap canceling.
  • Rover's S4 allows them to heal the party after ulting. The heal sucks, its gonna heal for 100% of Rover's total attack which should be around 2k. Since you don't even build healing bonus%, the is really minimal and doesn't really make Rover a sustainer.

Changelog

  • April 17, 2024: New tier list format according to Closed Beta II data, theorycrafting, and playtesting. Please keep in mind this is most likely to undergo a big change when the game is released and is for discussion purposes only!
