Wuthering Waves Augusta Build Guide
Ephor of Septimont. The undying sun eternally ablaze, and a banner under which defeat does not exist.<br/>She comes. She sees. She conquers.<br/>With blade held high, she awaits the next challenger or the fate that claims it cannot be defied.
Best Echo Sets for Augusta
Best composition. Crown of Valor's big ATK and Crit DMG bonuses are maximized because Augusta can maintain shields; Void Thunder provides Electro DMG bonus. Recommended main Echo: The False Sovereign.
2nd best. Crown of Valor remains the core; Lingering Tunes is a viable ATK-supplement alternative if you lack Void Thunder.
Early-game / accessible option. Provides high Electro DMG bonus and pairs well with Tempest Mephis for Electro + Heavy Attack DMG but is inferior to mixing Crown of Valor.
Augusta's Best Primary Echo
The False Sovereign
Best main Echo — provides passive Electro and Heavy Attack DMG Bonus and deals high Electro DMG when its Echo Skill is cast. Recommended main for Augusta.
Tempest Mephis
Alternative — grants Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG after its Claw attack hits. Works but is slower to ramp and its Echo Skill can cause small DPS loss compared to False Sovereign.
