character |
role |
Reason for use |
---|---|---|
Carlotta |
Main DPS |
To say that Carlotta trivializes most of the content in the 2.0 update is to underestimate her impact, but given her mobility, damage output, and overall utility, the dragon wouldn't stand a chance. |
Jinhsi |
Main DPS |
As of 2.0, there are almost no major bosses in Wuthering Waves Jinhsi tilt wipe out. The dragon is the same, and who doesn't want to see two dragons compete against each other every now and then? |
Havoc Rover |
Main DPS |

Zhezhi |
Sub DPS |
Between Carlotta and Jinhsi, Zhezhi established himself as the leading sub-DPS and buffing character in the game from 2.0 onwards. Her buffs are incredible, her bonus damage is respectable, and she's generally just good to have around. |
Sanhua |
Sub DPS |
Sanhua was one of the best characters in the game with the release of Wuthering Waves and maintained that title in version 2.0, offering a few buffs, good damage, and general utility. |
Yinlin |
Sub DPS |
The distance from her release has done little for Yinlin's effectiveness on the right team, and against Dragon of Dirge she can deliver sustained Electric damage that easily complements most DPS units. |
Shorekeeper |
Support |
The Coast Guard's strengthening and healing abilities are outstanding, surpassing all others in the period following her release and retaining this crown long afterward. |
Verina |
Support |
Verina was the little queen of support units at the start of the game and her healing and buffs are a more than valuable addition to any team, no matter how advanced your account is. |
