Wuthering Waves: Ultimate Teambuilding Guide

Like a lot of action RPGs out there, Wuthering Waves is fully built around its fast-paced and engaging gameplay. The game plays very smoothly and allows for a lot of skill expression and creativity. One of the aspects that fully showcases this is the teambuilding in Wuthering Waves.

Teambuilding is an integral part of Wuthering Waves’ combat and overall gameplay. It can be a bit difficult to get used to and understand though, especially for players new to Wuthering Waves or the genre itself. Our ultimate teambuilding guide will look at all the essentials that you will need to know concerning teambuilding. By mastering teambuilding you can maximize your damage and take on any foe.

Ultimate Teambuilding Guide

Looking at the basics, Wuthering Waves requires you to have a team of 3 different characters that you will take into the game. You can switch between all 3 of them during combat and all characters in this game provide something unique. So, how do you make an ideal team in Wuthering Waves?

When making a team in Wuthering Waves, the 2 main things you need to look at are synergies between characters and the overall team composition. Both of these will help maximize your teams damage and fully utilize the characters.

Alongside teambuilding, understanding other aspects of the game like the weapons system is also important. Make sure you check out our weapon investment and weapon leveling guide.

Synergies

The synergy between characters is very important to consider for teambuilding in Wuthering Waves. It will help you get the best out of your characters and make them feel much stronger. Synergy is especially important when you are just starting out and have a limited amount of characters. It can help you decide which characters to unlock to complete your team.

Say for example that your favorite character in the game is Jiyan. Being a primary DPS, Jiyan relies a lot on his ultimate being up to maximize his damage potential. So a character that can help Jiyan build up energy will synergize pretty well with him. You can get pretty creative with this and try out some fun and interesting team compositions.

Team Composition

Alongside having synergies between your teammates, you will also need to make sure you have a proper team composition. A good team composition in Wuthering Waves will rely a lot on having good damage but also good support tools to go along with that damage.

A standard team comp in Wuthering Waves will consist of a main DPS, secondary DPS, and support.

Main DPS

Your main DPS character will be responsible for most of your team’s damage. Their sole purpose is to deal a ton of damage and decimate enemies. Characters like Jiyan and Rover are perfect for this as their kits allow them to dish out a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

Secondary DPS

Having a secondary DPS character is also very important, as they can provide your team with valuable damage but alongside that also provide some utility. Someone like Mortefi or Sanhua can fit this role well as they have decent damage and good utility. Mortefi for example can buff your main DPS and help them deal much more damage.

Support

To round out your team you will need a support character. Supports are often overlooked by people when building a team, but their importance can not be understated. While they do not have a lot of damage, they can provide your team with valuable utility like heals and damage buffs. Verina is the best support in the game right now, and this is mainly due to the damage buff she provides. It is a significant buff that lasts for a good amount of time.

Example Team

Above we have an example team in Wuthering Waves. Calcharo is our main DPS, Jianxin our secondary DPS, and Baizhi our support.

This is a pretty standard team as each character fills a specific role and provides something valuable to our team. You will generally want to open fights with Baizhi here, then go to Jianxin and end with Calcharo. This will allow you to utilize your buffing abilities and set up Calcharo to deal loads of damage.

One of the best things is how creative Wuthering Waves allows players to be. You can opt to follow a standard team composition or go for something unique that isn’t meta. Try out different team compositions to find out what works best for you.
