Wuthering Waves - Hazard Tower (Hazard Zone) Guide

Check out how to beat the Hazard Zone's Hazard Tower in Wuthering Waves Version 2.6. We have the best characters and stage guides for each floor here!

Suggested Configuration

Team 2

Floor Character 1 Character 2 Character 3
3 DPS Sub-DPS Support
4 DPS Sub-DPS Support

For the Hazard Tower, and considering it is the hardest of the three towers, we suggest going for a full team of your strongest characters.

If possible, make sure the buffs provided by the Tower works in favor with your team but if not, you may use any team that have neither increased RES from enemies nor the tower. In addition, you should always have your most powerful support here so reserve your Shorekeeper and Verina here!

Floors 3 and 4 Require a New Team

To fully clear all four floors of the Hazard Tower, you will need atleast 2 teams since each floor consumes 5 Vigors each. Floor 3 and 4 were added in Version 2.6.

Best Team Composition

For the Sub-DPS and Support options, the top option is the best one to use.

Main DPS Sub DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - CartethyiaCartethyia
Wuthering Waves - JiyanJiyan
Wuthering Waves - PhrolovaPhrolova
Wuthering Waves - CamellyaCamellya

Hazard Tower's current buff revolves around using Havoc and Aero Teams with additional focus on teams that scales off HP and uses Aero Erosion. Only one team can maximize this buff: the Cartethyia team. Cartethyia is the only Main DPS that scales off of HP and procs Aero Erosion so far, so using her team would make this tower a cakewalk.

In any case, you make also use other teams that can make use of the Havoc or Aero DMG buffs like Jiyan, Phrolova, or Camellya. Do note that they won't be as effective as Cartethyia's team mostly because they will miss out on the major buffs for HP and the DEF reduction from Aero Erosion.

Break Fallacy's Vibration Quickly

Fallacy of No Return will go berserk when its HP reaches around the halfway mark, making it more agile and less susceptible to crowd control effects. Before it turns crazy though, it will start charging up so make sure to shred its Vibration Gauge quickly before it goes berserk and fly away.

Continuing on with the second floor, we recommend using the same team and consume all the Vigor left for this team. This floor is composed of three waves, with a final Sentry Construct boss waiting for you in the third wave.

Like the first floor, the interference prefers teams that has a main DPS that scales off HP and revolves around Aero Erosion. The best team to use is the Cartethyia team, which will make this floor a cakewalk.

Quickly Dispatch the First Two Waves

The main purpose of the first two waves is to stall and waste time, so make sure to dispatch them quickly. Avoid all their attacks and try to group them in the middle. The Lumiscale Construct will always start with its scissor attacks which is quite easy to avoid.

Prioritize Parrying Sentry's Aerial Swipe

The Sentry Construct will start flying as soon as it spawns, but its first attack is always a swipe attack with a parry opportunity.

Be sure to parry the attack to send the Sentry crashing down. This will save you a lot of time and will relegate the Sentry to using ground attacks which are a lot more manageable.

Iuno is a new character that is slated to release on September 17, 2025 and is looking to be Augusta's best-in-slot Heavy Attack DMG Sub-DPS. We will be updating this page when we have tested Iuno!

Floor 3 is a new addition from Version 2.6 which would require you to finish the first two floors of the Hazard Tower. Floor 3 shares the same interference with Floor 4 and they both consume 5 Vigor. This means, you will need an entirely new team from the first two floors.

Thankfully, the interference is fairly general because there is a way for you to actually maintain the Shield and make use of most of the effect. This makes any team useable for the last two floors as long as you don't get hit and expend the shield.

Augusta Team is Best

However, there is a team that will benefit from the interference greatly because they create shields via their kit: Augusta's team. Note that Augusta creates shields everytime she deal damage so it's extremely easy to maintain the shield requirement of the interference. What more, Augusta scales off Heavy Attack DMG so she gets the unconditional Heavy Attack DMG bonus from the interference in addition to everything else.

Jiyan as a Second Choice

Noting the unconditional 30% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, Jiyan's team is also a plausible option. Though he won't be able to consistently maintain the shield like Augusta, he can easily just avoid attacks to not expend the shield created from his Liberation.

Floor 4 has similar interference with Floor 3 so we opted to use the same team to take the two floors on. This final floor is by far the most challenging, as it will pit you against two Level 100 Bosses. Be sure to dispatch them as quickly as possible and don't miss anything that may mess your rotation.

Augusta Team is Best

Augusta's team remains to be the best one to use here. Augusta creates shields everytime she deal damage so it's extremely easy to maintain the shield requirement of the interference. What more, Augusta scales off Heavy Attack DMG so she gets the unconditional bonus from the interference in addition to everything else.

Jiyan as a Second Choice

Noting the unconditional 30% Heavy Attack DMG Bonus, Jiyan's team is also a plausible option. Since he won't be able to consistently maintain the shield like Augusta, make sure avoid attacks to not expend the shield created from his Liberation due to the interference effect.

Another trash ass modifier that doesn't work at all, no echo skill that i use from any character even Cantarella wont trigger the echo buff for me at all in hazard tower. So tired of hazard tower being an over tuned bs mode that has modifiers that only work for some people.

2 Anonymous6 months

Why is Shorekeeper recommended when Verina is better suited for Jinhsi? She's suited for quickswap characters, not a normal rotation
