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,
Outside her Ult state, Encore is a ranged character, similar to Catalyst users in Genshin Impact . However, after she casts her Resonance Liberation, she becomes a melee unit, making it harder for players to avoid hits, and demanding players to either improve their dodging skills or bring a sustain Resonator to Encore team comp in Wuthering Waves weapons Wav
Encore’s DPS multiplier mostly comes from her Resonance Liberation, but her hits are considered Basic Attack DMG, which means Sanhua’s Outro Skill in Wuthering Waves can benefit Encore greatly. Sanhua gives 38% Basic Attack DMG Deepen for 14s when she’s switched out. Meanwhile, Verina is a healer who can also buff on her Outro Skill. Unlike Sanhua whose buff only goes to the next character, Verina’s All-Type DMG Deepen is given to all characters, which means she and Sanhua won’t clash against each ot
You might’ve started playing Wuthering Waves for its post-apocalyptic look, beautiful characters, humongous open world, or any other reason, but there’s no denying the fact that combat is one of the best and the most skillful aspects. If you’re not careful, your characters can easily get eliminated on the field by enem
Baizhi is a 4-star Glacio Resonator in Wuthering Waves . Baizhi is a powerful supporter that will act as your team’s healer for most situations in the game. Her Outro Skill also provides a high damage boost to her other team members, making her great even when you don’t need heal
Collecting different Echo and using them on the battlefield is arguably one of the most fun mechanics in Wuthering Waves. Some of these Echoes can take your character’s place while others can act separately . However, each character can only use one Echo ability, which belongs to the topmost one you place on t
Because Baizhi is a healer, you can really fit her into any team that needs healing . Her Outro Skill and the Rejuvenating Glow Sonata Effect provide damage buffs as well, making her extremely versatile no matter what situation you’re
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
Yinlin is a prime example of an off-field DPS. She has excellent AoE DMG and provides great Liberation DMG and Electro DMG buffs for DPS like Xiangli Yao. Sadly, her teams aren’t as strong as the meta Jinhsi + Zhezhi pairing, which causes her to not claim any of the top ranki

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
Like most Gacha games, Wuthering Waves offers a variety of 5-star units that are much better than most characters in the game. These P2W characters are the best at each one of their roles and can immensely change how a team feels when they join t
However, these fights won’t be easy. Regardless of your SOL3 Phase, these bosses are quite formidable, but each one of them has a specific weakness . You need to make use of this weakness to deal heavy damage to their Vibration (white) bar. Enemies take much higher damage when this bar is destro
This Calcharo team comp is not as effective as his best team with Jianxin and Verina. However, the characters are fully F2P so they’re friendlier for unlucky Rovers or those looking for more challenge. Mortefi is an amazing off-field DPS when you activate his ultimate before switching to Calcharo. His Outro Skill is not as effective as Jianxin’s since he only buffs Calcharo’s Heavy ATK while she buffs his entire Resonance Liberat
While combat was a showcase of improvements and innovations, the brief amount of open world traversal/hub navigation available in the hands-on indicates that Wuthering Waves exploration will be a solid bedrock of what already works in the genre. Grappling hooks, gliders, and sprinting were all options, and each was implemented smoothly. There’s also a parkour system that lets characters run up walls/cliffsides, which is a nice touch and an improvement on the slow climb other titles tend to h
