- Sanhua (Sub DPS)
The protagonist of Wuthering Waves, Rover is a 5-star Sword-user who may be able to use multiple attributes, much like the Traveler wields different elements in Gensihn Impact. The game begins with Rover using Spectro, with basic attacks that unleash up to 4 strikes and heavy attacks that channel powerful Spectro blows.
C Tier Characters
- Baizhi (Sub DPS/Support)
- Chixia (Sub DPS)
Baizhi, a 5-star Glacio Mutant Resonator, wields the Rectifier as a sub-DPS and support. It looks like she’s going to be a useful healer for your team, as her true strength lies in her symbiotic bond with You'tan. This gives her remarkable healing abilities, mending wounds and even resurrecting fallen allies.
D Tier Characters
- Yuanwu (Sub DPS)
- Taoqi (Sub DPS/Support)
Yuanwu, a 4-star Electro Natural Resonator, harnesses the power of thunder through his Gauntlet. His skills infuse allies with Lightning Infused status while dealing Electro damage. With his Rumbling Spark, he can cause devastating Electro damage and gaining Lightning Infused state himself. While he’s not as powerful as the rest of the array, Yuanwu provides valuable team Electro support and buffs as a reliable sub-DPS utility character.
That concludes our Wuthering Waves tier list! Now you should have a better idea of who the best characters in the game are, and build your team accordingly.
