Wuthering Waves Mortefi Build Guide
Mortefi, a skilled expert in Applied Tacetite Study and a member of the Academy’s Department of Safety, possesses the unique ability to transform his accumulated frustration into fiery flames.<br/>From a burning wrath that consumes all, the red dragon shall descend.
Best Echo Sets for Mortefi
5-piece Empyrean Anthem is the best pick. It significantly increases Coordinated Attack damage and buffs the active Resonator's ATK on critical hits — pairs perfectly with Mortefi's off-field coordinated Marcato output. S4 Resonance Chain recommended to fully utilize extended Liberation duration.
5-piece Moonlit Clouds increases Energy Regeneration and can boost the ATK of the next character after Mortefi's outro — helpful to reduce Liberation downtime.
Combine the 2-piece bonuses for faster Liberation and Fusion DMG scaling. Good budget option if you can't run a 5-piece Empyrean set.
Mortefi's Best Primary Echo
Hecate
Provides a significant increase in Coordinated Attack damage which synergizes extremely well with Mortefi's Resonance Liberation. Also deals Havoc damage around Mortefi for additional passive damage.
Impermanence Heron
Restores Mortefi's Resonance Energy so he can cast Liberation more often and increases the next character's damage — useful as a semi-support option.
Nightmare: Inferno Rider
Good Fusion damage-focused Echo for using Mortefi more as a direct DPS. Swap to a support-centric Echo later in the game.
Inferno Rider
A solid Molten Rift option if you don't have access to the Nightmare version (Rinascita).
