SS Tier Characters
| Character | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
 Verina
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Support:
|
| Verina provides both healing and buffs for your entire party using her entire kit. She also periodically does coordinated attacks that deal Spectro DMG while healing the currently active character. Even if Verina lacks the Crit Rate and Crit Damage buffs that the Shorekeeper provides, her value is found in her short on-field time, making her a valuable asset in teams with DPSs that require a lot of on-field time. |
||
 Jinhsi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| One of the best Spectro Main-DPS character that deals an insane amount of damage with her Skill and burst damage with her Resonance Liberation. Her multipliers are insanely high that it can decimate any enemy that comes her way. | ||
 Zhezhi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| A great Sub-DPS unit that provides buffs on characters that scales off Resonance Skill with bonus amplification of Glacio DMG. She is currently the best in slot Subu-DPS for two of the best DPS in the game - Jinhsi and Carlotta. This makes her one of the most versatile units in the game. |
||
 Shorekeeper
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Support:
|
| Shorekeeper is a versatile support unit that grants Crit buffs to any ally within her Resonance Liberation's field, while also continuously healing them. Shorekeeper has further utility, such as damage amplification, knockdown recovery, and K.O. prevention. She is the go-to third-slot Support for almost all teams and is the most valuable unit to have in Wuthering Waves. |
||
Camellya
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Camellya is a great Havoc DPS unit that is capable of dishing out combos that are far reaching and mostly at an AoE. She also has access to a free Sub-DPS that could work, making Camellya's team extremely easy to build. | ||
 Carlotta
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Carlotta is the premier Glacio DPS unit capable of dishing out consistent burst damage that scales off her Resonance Skill. With this in mind, she works perfectly with Zhezhi considering Zhezhi amplifies both Resonance Skill and Glacio DMG. Having access to a perfect team can elevate a character to new heights and this puts Carlotta on par with the best DPS's in Wuthering Waves. |
||
 Phoebe
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Phoebe is a great Spectro DPS unit capable of dishing huge Spectro DMG as long as the enemy is affected by Spectro Frazzle. Even with no dedicated Sub-DPS that can buff her, she can still deal damage close to Jinhsi. On top of that, Phoebe can also work as a Sub-DPS that amplifies Spectro Frazzle and reduces Spectro DMG RES of nearby enemies. With Zani releasing, Phoebe's confession mode now has a particular use which pushes her to be the premier Frazzle Sub-DPS in the game. |
||
 Brant
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Brant is a Fusion character who can provide team-wide buffs and sustain, without the expense of his personal damage, as he can convert ER to Attack. While he's best paired with Changli, F2P teams that focus on Basic Attacks and Resonance Skills would still want Brant, as his Outro Skill, on top of his Forte Circuit, enables him to do so! | ||
 Zani
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Zani is one of the best Spectro DPS available in the game today. She works with Spectro Frazzle teams, so there is no overlap with the other Spectro DPS Jinhsi. When in a premium Frazzle team, Zani's damage rivals that of Jinhsi. Zani also has access to a free Sub-DPS option in Spectro (Rover) so players who does not have Phoebe can still play Zani. This pushes her value up even more. |
||
 Ciaccona
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Ciaccona is an Aero character that provides excellent buffing and debuffing capabilities to team members and enemies, respectively. As a unit, she is able to apply multiple instances of Aero Erosion and Spectro Frazzle throughout her kit which makes her a very versatile unit that works in multiple teams. With the release of Cartethyia, her full kit is now in full bloom - with Cartethyia utilizing her Aero Erosion application and Aero DMG bonus fully! |
||
|
Cartethyia
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Cartethyia is so far the best Aero DPS character in the game. She is able to deal insane amounts of damage and can apply Aero Erosion herself even without a dedicated applicator. Considering she scales off the HP stat, her potential is basically through the roof. She has basically overshadowed Jiyan as the premier Aero DPS unit, and may even be for a long while. |
||
 Augusta
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
|
Augusta is a top-tier Electro DPS character that dishes out extremely high Heavy Attack DMG with her Heavy Attack and Resonance Skill combos. She also has one of the strongest unique abilities in the game, as she can stop time for seven seconds with her Liberation. This also pauses timers for abilities and even end-game content. Despite being a strong DPS, she is considered to be a low-investment character due to being very easy to build. Her main Echo set's effect is activated at 3-pcs, and one of her strongest teammates is a 4-star from Version 1.0, Mortefi, making her quite F2P-friendly. |
||
|
Iuno
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
|
Iuno is an exceptional Aero Sub-DPS character capable of doing pretty much everything: amplifies Heavy Attack DMG, heals HP & regenerates stamina, and deal non-negligible personal damage on top of all that. She is one of the most flexible unit in the game as she can fulfill multiple roles in a team. The only downside with Iuno is her lack of free-to-play weapon options and how her entire kit is only maximized when she's with Augusta. When she's with Augusta though, she enables the best Electro team in this game so far. |
||
S Tier Characters
| Character | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
 Jiyan
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Jiyan is a great DPS units that can deal amazing single-target and AoE damage to take on any enemy in the game. His Ultimate can group smaller enemies which is also a means for crowd control. With the introduction of Whimpering Wastes, Jiyan found a specific niche that increased his value which now makes him one a versatile unit to pick up. | ||
 Yinlin
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Yinlin is a great sub-DPS that not only provides bonuses for Liberation DMG and Electro DMG, but also sends out Electro coordinated attacks for extra damage. This enables Yinlin to deal damage even when off-field, increasing her value even more. | ||
 Changli
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Changli is a great main-DPS unit that can deal huge amounts of Fusion damage with her fully-stacked Forte Circuit. She can even self-buff her ATK after using her Ultimate, to deal even more damage. Changli can even take on a role of a Sub-DPS thanks to her Outro Skill, but generally we would not want to do that as she can deal an insane amount of damage as a Main DPS and take up too much on-field time. |
||
 Xiangli Yao
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| A great Main DPS unit that slows down enemy movement and deals a lot of damage to enemies as long as you know how to use him. He relies a lot on Resonance Liberation DMG so any character, weapon, or Echoes that buff it works great with Xiangli Yao. | ||
 Roccia
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Roccia is a great Havoc Sub-DPS unit capable of providing increases to both Basic Attack and Havoc DMG. She also have access to a good grouping utility that will help your DPS decimate hordes of enemies easily. Her personal damage is also not negligible, improving the overall damage by the entire team which is great in time-limited endgame modes like the Tower of Adversity. Unfortunately, she can only mostly thrive in a Havoc team which makes her team composition quite limited. |
||
 Lupa
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Lupa is the premier Fusion DMG enabler that brings Fusion teams to new heights. When in mono-Fusion teams, the value she brings into the table is huge and is basically the final piece of the puzzle for Fusion teams. Unfortunately, this also makes her extremely limited when it comes to team building as she would require all three Resonators to be Fusion. | ||
 Sanhua
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Sanhua is one of the best Sub-DPS in the game, providing Basic Attack DMG Deepen for 14s to the next character who takes the field. She also deals pretty decent damage but relies heavily on making sure she detonates the ice structures using her Heavy Attacks. | ||
 Cantarella
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Cantarella is a Havoc character that provides a lot to different teams, and is a premium character for Mono Havoc Teams. She opens up options to run a second sub-DPS instead of a support character as her kit provides some healing and sustain. She provides Resonance and Havoc DMG amplification, making her quite flexible in buffing various DPS units, and she is able to deal extra damage with her off-field Coordinated attacks, boosting overall team damage potential. Cantarella is the most important character in Phrolova teams, as she basically enables the entire Echo Skill DMG team. Outside of this however, Cantarella is much more of a secondary option. |
||
|
Phrolova
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Phrolova is a Havoc DPS that scales off Resonance Skill and Echo Skill DMG, a pretty niche combination that only works with a handful of other characters. Though she can be flexble because of her off-field capabilities, Phrolova will need heavy investment to get her full potential. Her weapon is very important to her, and should be pulled if you plan on using her. This huge investment makes it a bit detrimental for team building, especially when you have a very easy Havoc character to build in Camellya. Even then, Phrolova still can't rival the likes of Cartethyia and Zani with equally high investment teams. |
||
A Tier Characters
| Character | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
 Calcharo
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Calcharo is an Electro Main-DPS unit that can dish out a great amount of Electro damage with both his Skill and Liberation. With the introduction of Yinlin, he now has a really great sub-DPS that pushes him to greater heights. | ||
 Encore
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Encore is a great choice for a Fusion DPS in the game. She is a Main-DPS character who focuses on pure damage with no cares in the world. When Encore enters Cosmos Rave, she deals an insane amount of Fusion DMG. She can be quite squishy though as her Cosmos Rave state does not provide any type of crowd control at all compared to Jiyan. This can potentially be a problem if you're getting hit a lot considering Encore's Cosmos Rave only lasts for 10s. |
||
 Rover (Spectro)
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Rover (Spectro) is a jack of all trades, providing great Sub-DPS capabilities by executing time stop with their Outro Skill while showing glimmers of Main-DPS capabilities with her high-damage Resonance Liberation. Unfortunately, this resulted in the Spectro Rover falling off compared to other characters that have pure Main-DPS or Sub-DPS roles. |
||
 Rover (Havoc)
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Rover (Havoc) is an great damage dealer that allows for easy activation of their Dark Surge state. They have high burst damage capability thanks to their Resonance Liberation, but their Basic Attack is where they shine the most. Just make sure to hone your dodging skills as you need to maximize the Basic Attack damage you deal during Dark Surge as much as possible. Their unique interaction with the Dreamless increases Havoc Rover's burst damage potential, easily clearing both single and multiple enemies in a short time. |
||
 Mortefi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Mortefi has a mechanic that allows coordinated Fusion attacks to follow whenever you attack enemies. This ensures Mortefi deals damage even when off-field, exponentially increasing Mortefi's value in fights. He is also a 4-star unit so you can get him quite easily. His value also increases even more when the on-field DPS uses Heavy Attacks which is quite common for most DPS's in the game. |
||
 Danjin
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Danjin is a great DPS to have as a free-to-play player. This character can dish out huge amounts of damage as long as you can properly manage her HP-drain mechanic. This may be quite hard to do when facing tougher enemies, so player skill plays a big role in making sure Danjin survives fights. | ||
B Tier Characters
| Character | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
 Jianxin
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Jianxin is a solid middle ground for being both a Main and Sub-DPS in Wuthering Waves. She can hold on her own as a Main-DPS, providing grouping and AoE damage against multiple enemies. Her Outro Skill also buffs Resonance Liberation DMG so she can be a great Sub-DPS as well. Similar to Spectro Rover, this jack-of-all-trades situation caused Jianxin to fall off compared to other characters that have a defined role in the meta. |
||
 Rover (Aero)
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Support:
|
| Rover (Aero) currently suffers from having no other available characters that fully utilize their kit. While Rover (Aero) is a great applicator of negative effects on enemies, there is a limited character pool that has negative effects built into their kit. As of Version 2.2, Aero Rover's primary role is that of a support with sub-par damage dealing capabilities. However, they are likely to increase in value when more characters and mechanics are added into the game. |
||
 Aalto
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Aalto can be seen as a good Sub-DPS unit that can buff Aero DMG while holding on his own by dealing a decent amount of damage. This, however, is being outclassed by the likes of other Sub-DPS like Mortefi by dealing damage even if off-field. | ||
 Yuanwu
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Yuanwu is a Sub-DPS unit that, similar to Mortefi, follows up with coordinated Electro DMG even when he's off-field. He could also reduce the enemy's Vibration Strength, which is basically the toughness bar below certain enemies. However, this only applies if the enemy is inside the circle of effect so it could be easily avoided by mobile enemies in Wuthering Waves. |
||
 Chixia
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
Sub DPS:
|
| Chixia is a DPS unit that excels against hoards of enemies because of her mobility and ease of use. She can take on single-target bosses with ease as long as you can reposition and evade properly. When dealing with mobs of enemies, however, you will see this benefit slowly go down as she can easily be mobbed by multiple enemies if you are not careful enough. |
||
 Baizhi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Support:
|
| Baizhi is a pure-healer you can run when you do not have the Shorekeeper and Verina. She can burst-heal using her Resonance Skill and Liberation as well as continuously heal and buff the next character that takes the field for 36s. Unlocking her Inherent Skill 1 also provides ATK boosts to the next on-field DPS that picks up the Euphonia that You'tan generates. Baizhi is worse than Verina because her buffs only apply to the next character that swaps in - not to the entire party. This essentially limits the flow of switching when using Baizhi versus Verina. |
||
 Youhu
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
Support:
|
| A healer-support hybrid that can provide multiple buffs and effects in battle from healing to vibration strength depletion efficiency. Unfortunately, the buffs are obtained by rolling a kit-based RNG system that proves to be extremely inconsistent when used in teams. Though you can force some effects to happen, the effects will be random most of the times and can sometimes mess up rotations. In addition, her Outro Skill only buffs the incoming resonator's Coordinated Attack which is pretty niche in itself. We only have a handful of Resonators that can use coordinated attacks, so Youhu's value decreases even more. |
||
 Lumi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| A Sub-DPS unit that can provide Resonance Skill DMG Amplification via her Outro Skill. Her kit is fairly straightforward with good multipliers for her Forte Circuit and Resonance Liberation. Her damage tends to fall off when doing Basic Attacks with her two Light Modes, but can deal decent damage when her Forte Circuit is full. | ||
C Tier Characters
| Character | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
 Lingyang
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Main DPS:
|
| Lingyang is simply getting outclassed by his standard 5-star peers in the current state of the game, especially those that have great AoE damage capabilities. He also currently does not have a dedicated Glacio support right now and his damage has been subpar compared to other Main-DPS in the game. | ||
 Yangyang
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| Yangyang is the first free 4-star character that all players will get. Though she provides decent damage and utility with her Aero grouping, she falls off immediately once the player unlocks better Sub-DPS that provides DMG buffs. | ||
 Taoqi
|
Overall:
ToA:
WhiWa:
|
Sub DPS:
|
| With the introduction of Jinhsi, Taoqi has found a new Sub-DPS role in her team - providing Resonance Skill amplification while dishing quick-switch damage with her Resonance Liberation. Unfortunately, her glaring problems still exist particularly the split scaling with her Forte and Shields. She could've been a great Sub-DPS-Support hybrid character if the scaling are constant across her kit. |

Tier List Criteria
Ranking Explanations
| Tier | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Characters rated at this tier are by far the best in slot for the role. If you're looking for someone to fill a role and improve your team, then you should try to pull for these characters above anyone else. The endgame tier list considers the current buffs present in the Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes. |
|
These characters are only just slightly worse than those in the SS-tier, and can still be great choices for your team. S-tier characters can also be used interchangeably with SS-tier characters depending on your available equipment. The endgame tier list considers the current buffs present in the Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes. |
|
A-tier characters are still good options to use, but they don't perform on the level of SS or S-tier characters. Unless you're fully optimizing your team, A-tier characters are a perfectly fine option. The endgame tier list considers the current buffs present in the Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes. |
|
Characters in the B-tier are generally used as substitutes for higher-tier characters, or they fill an extreme niche that only they can accomplish. Think about your team composition and how the character fits in before you commit to upgrading them. The endgame tier list considers the current buffs present in the Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes. |
|
Characters in the C-tier are considered lacking and are not performing up to par with the current state of the meta. They are completely eclipsed by everyone in the higher tier, so consider holding off upgrading them if you're strapped on resources. The endgame tier list considers the current buffs present in the Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes. |
Other Criteria Considered
① Damage Dealt is of the Highest Importance
Dealing huge amounts of damage is very important in a game like Wuthering Waves. This is the most important factor as doing so will make sure that you are clearing content in the fastest way possible. Characters that deal huge damage or help others to deal as much damage as possible are ranked higher in this tier list.
② Flexibility of Team Building
Characters that can fit in multiple teams are also ranked higher in this tier list. Characters that fit the Sub-DPS and Support roles are mostly affected by this criteria!
③ Ease of Use is Considered
Being able to comfortably play the character is also a criterion that we consider for this tier list. Not all characters are created equal, and some characters' kits are a chore to execute. Being able to comfortably use characters usually translates to a better performance, so we have considered that with our rankings.

If you want a Brant-less fusion team its probably better to wait for the next patch (2.7) and go for Galbrena. This is due to the fact that Changli has extremely good synergy with Brant, who you don't want, so you're Changli team would suffer. While we don't know how good Galbrena is yet, she will probably be stronger than Changli is without Brant.

Though I'm not a fan of tierlists in general, they are pretty useful and, as a long time casual player who takes breaks in between versions, I do agree with what is said and how the characters were graded in this list. Well, except for Aerover (Aero Rover) as I believe he is supposed to be in A tier, though because I am biased, I think he is S tier in Cartwheel (Cartethyia) teams. But yeah, I think someone should edit Aerover as all the grading points to A as the average, yet he was placed in B.
