How to Create Builds
Learn Your Character's Role
The main thing that you should consider first when building a character is to identify their role in your 3-character team. There are three roles that a character can fill: Main DPS, Sub DPS, or Support each with its advantages and disadvantages when put in a team.
| Role | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Main DPS | • Deals damage in a team • Their outro skills aim to deal damage • Only purpose is to dish out as much damage as possible |
| Sub DPS | • Can deal damage but also support the Main DPS • Their outro skill can buff the next character coming in • Fills in for the Main DPS when needed |
| Support | • Only purpose is to support other characters • Can either heal or buff teammates • Usually deals mediocre damage, but compensates with making sure nobody dies in your team |
To know the character's role, you must check their fortes or skills and see if they are there to deal damage, support other characters, or a mix of both!
Character Tier List
Equip Sonata Effects Based on the Role
Based on the role above, choose the sonata effect that will benefit their role and playstyle. Each sonata effect provides benefits that can make or break your character's efficacy in battle. We can even argue that the chosen sonata effect dictates how good your character will be.
List of All Sonata Effects
Learn Which Stat to Prioritize
When building characters, it is also important to know the stats that you should prioritize. Each echo can possess innate benefits that can augment your character's stats. You can also opt to tune echoes to add more stats and improve your character's overall performance.
For example, a character that relies heavily on their Resonance Liberation will need a good amount of Energy Regen so they can use their Resonance Liberation more. Second, mostly all Main DPS characters will need Crit DMG and Crit Rate so the damage they deal can increase. Some characters even scale off HP so aim to improve on that.
How to Tune Echoes
Check Weapon Effect and Substats
Each weapon in Wuthering Waves has innate main stat, substat, and effect that you should consider when building characters.
First, consider what stat needs to be prioritized based on the previous section and check the weapon's substat if it fills that need. Then, you should check the weapon's effect to see if it works with the character's role and playstyle. Perfecting this is the key to making great builds in Wuthering Waves.
Weapon Tier List
Choose Your Main Echo
In Wuthering Waves, you can set a certain echo to be your main Echo and will be the one that can be summoned in battles. Each of these echo have effects that can improve the performance of your character. Make sure to align the main echo's effect to your character's playstyle to maximize their effects.
