While attending the Game Developers Conference 2024, Screen Rant was able to participate in a hands-on demonstration of a newer build of Wuthering Waves . Following a brief demonstration of mechanics from a member of the Kuro Games team, we were able to play through a brief combat section against a boss, an open-world puzzle, and some exploration of one of the game’s settlements. Make no mistake: this game is unabashedly attempting to capitalize on the space Genshin Impact carved out for the genre years ago. But it does it well enough that it feels like it has its own identity,

Spectro Rover is not the weakest DPS out there and definitely has some good qualities, but there will always be a better DPS than them. At least, they still work perfectly as a guide to teach new players in Wuthering Waves how to use their Forte Ga
Wuthering Waves’ combat is slow-paced in a way that enemies can have a quick succession of attacks, but they usually enter a short cooldown before launching another series of attacks . However, if you get caught by any of these regular attacks, you’ll see the health bar of your active character deplete quite f
Updated on January 1, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah : Wuthering Waves is soon entering the 2.0 era, and many 5-star Resonators have been added since the initial release. In total, there are seven new characters who are released after Jiyan, resulting in a total of 15 5-star characters as of WuWa 1.4. Due to the many missing units in the article, this piece has now been updated to include everyone before Rinascita is released in version
Encore may not be as powerful as Calcharo and Jiyan in Wuthering Waves , but she’s still highly viable as a main DPS. To play Encore, players must take note of her Resonance Liberation (Ultimate), as her Ult enhances her hits and puts her in a state where she goes berserk on enem
The game features a dodge and parry-based combat, allowing your characters and the entire team to get various buffs if you use them correctly. However, you also have to keep some other mechanics in your m
This F2P-friendly Encore team comp in Wuthering Waves relies on both Encore and Mortefi to deal damage. Baizhi mostly works as a healer, although she also has a short buff in her Outro Skill. Since Baizhi’s buff is only 6s long and Mortefi’s buff only increases Heavy ATK DMG (which Encore doesn’t benefit as much as Baizhi’s), players can do the following rotation: Mortefi >Baizhi >Encore. Alternatively, players can utilize Mortefi’s buff if they plan to quick-swap Encore when she uses her Heavy Attack and activates her Mayhem st

While each player should play the game at the pace they enjoy, increasing Union Level quickly has its advantages, as this will allow players to unlock plethora of new features, areas, quests and rewards, as well as the co-op function , allowing players to progress much faster and efficiently, and reach end game quicker. This means, at early stages, players should channel their efforts into primarily completing main quest whenever available and other than that undertaking side missions that give large Union EXP, spend waveplates and explore as much as possible on the way as they spend their time in the g
If you manage to learn the timing and parry every attack from an enemy, you’ll be able to put them in a vulnerable state quite easily . However, failing at this can lead to some rough scenarios.

You can get used to the combat and attack sequence in the game after a little practice, but they won’t be of any use if you don’t know what your enemies can do. As you reach different areas and move around the map, you’ll find various enemies belonging to different groups . Each one of these enemy types has something special about t
**Wuthering Waves employs a 3-unit combat system with a design focus on swapping between them at beneficial times ** during battle to maximize their synergies. It’s not ground-breaking, but the implementation is excellent – slowly building up a charge bar while using abilities and properly timing dodges allows players to then swap into a new unit that has an immediate effect upon entering the battlefield. We didn’t get a chance to really examine what those abilities are, but they seem to range from doing damage to setting up better positioning for a new skill in
