Meet Encore, the ultimate Fusion DPS powerhouse. This fearless Main-DPS character unleashes pure, unadulterated damage without any regard for her own safety.

When Encore enters the coveted Cosmos Rave state, she becomes a force to be reckoned with, dealing massive Fusion damage to enemies. However, her lack of crowd control during this state makes her vulnerable to attacks, and her Cosmos Rave state only lasts for a brief 10 seconds.

Calcharo stands out as the premier Electro Main-DPS unit, capable of dishing out an impressive amount of Electro damage with both his Skill and Liberation. The introduction of Yinlin has further elevated his potential, making him an even more formidable force on the battlefield.

Mortefi boasts a unique mechanic that enables coordinated Fusion attacks to follow up on your every move. This ingenious system allows Mortefi to deal damage even when off-field, significantly increasing his value in combat. As a 4-star unit, he's also relatively easy to obtain.

His value is further amplified when the on-field DPS utilizes Heavy Attacks, a common tactic employed by most DPS characters in the game.

Sanhua is an exceptional Sub-DPS, providing a Basic Attack DMG Deepen effect that lasts for 14 seconds, benefiting the next character to take the field. She also packs a decent punch, but her damage output relies heavily on her ability to detonate ice structures using her Heavy Attacks.

Baizhi serves as a reliable secondary healer, capable of burst-healing using her Resonance Skill and Liberation. She can also provide continuous healing and buffs to the next character to take the field for an impressive 36 seconds. Unlocking her Inherent Skill 1 grants ATK boosts to the next on-field DPS, further enhancing her utility.

While Baizhi is an excellent healer, her buffs only apply to the next character to swap in, limiting the flow of switching compared to Verina.

Danjin is an excellent DPS choice for free-to-play players, capable of dealing massive damage as long as you can manage her HP-drain mechanic effectively. This requires a high degree of player skill, especially when facing tougher enemies.

Rover (Havoc) is a formidable damage dealer, boasting easy activation of their Dark Surge state and high burst damage capability thanks to their Resonance Liberation. Their Basic Attack shines brightest during Dark Surge, making it essential to hone your dodging skills to maximize damage output.

Their unique interaction with the Dreamless increases Havoc Rover's burst damage potential, allowing for effortless clearing of both single and multiple enemies in a short time.

Jianxin occupies a unique middle ground as both a Main and Sub-DPS in Wuthering Waves. She excels as a Main-DPS, providing grouping and AoE damage against multiple enemies, while her Outro Skill buffs Resonance Liberation DMG, making her an excellent Sub-DPS as well.

However, her versatility has led to her falling off compared to characters with more defined roles in the meta.

Aalto is a solid Sub-DPS unit, capable of buffing Aero DMG while dealing decent damage himself. However, his abilities are being outclassed by other Sub-DPS characters like Mortefi, who can deal damage even when off-field.

Rover (Spectro) is a jack-of-all-trades, offering excellent Sub-DPS capabilities through her time stop Outro Skill and high-damage Resonance Liberation. However, her lack of a defined role has led to her falling off compared to characters with pure Main-DPS or Sub-DPS roles.

Yangyang is the first free 4-star character, providing decent damage and utility with her Aero grouping. However, she falls off immediately once you unlock better Sub-DPS characters that offer DMG buffs.

Chixia is a DPS unit that excels against hordes of enemies due to her exceptional mobility and ease of use. She can take on single-target bosses with ease, as long as you can reposition and evade effectively.

However, her benefits decrease when facing mobs of enemies, as she can be easily mobbed by multiple enemies if you're not careful.

Lingyang is currently being outclassed by his standard 5-star peers, particularly those with excellent AoE damage capabilities. He also lacks a dedicated Glacio support, and his damage output has been subpar compared to other Main-DPS characters.

With the introduction of Jinhsi, Taoqi has found a new Sub-DPS role, providing Resonance Skill amplification and quick-switch damage with her Resonance Liberation. However, her scaling issues with Forte and Shields remain, preventing her from reaching her full potential as a Sub-DPS-Support hybrid character.
