Who is the best character in Wuthering Waves?
At the moment, the best character in Wuthering Waves isVerina, a tiny support Resonator who packs a mighty punch in terms of healing capabilities. She can be used on every single team, so read our S-Tier list below to check out our take on her skillset.
S-Tier Resonators in Wuthering Waves
The following Resonators made our S-Tier in terms of ranking, and are standout characters in terms of Wuthering Waves' meta. One of them, Yinlin, technically isn’t available yet, but considering how excellent she was in Wuthering Wave’s closed beta, she more than deserves a place in these top ranks.
Calcharo

Calcharo is a 5-Star Electro Resonator who wields a Broadblade. He’s a pretty boy mercenany with silver hair, and his DPS is especially ridiculous if you can execute continuous combos and swap him out for other characters at the right moment to keep damage output high. He also builds up stacks of Cruelty and Killing Intent with successful usage of his skillset, and he can exchange these stacks to pull off more powerful Heavy Attacks. It takes practice to perfect these attack patterns, but if you want extreme damage, Calcharo is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.
Danjin

Danjin is a 4-Star Havoc Resonator who wields a Sword. She boasts a berserker-style playstyle that revolves around her HP decreasing in exchange for dealing more damage. This makes her one of Wuthering Waves' trickier characters, but when paired with a healer like Verina, she’s superb for clearing the field of enemies and tackling bosses. Danjin is easily the best 4-Star Resonator at the moment and more than capable of hanging with her higher Rarity peers.
Jiyan

Jiyan is a 5-Star Aero Resonator who wields a Broadblade. He’s got turquoise hair, suave dragon garb, and excellent damage-dealing capabilities, and he’s available asWuthering Waves' first 5-Star Banner. Jiyan slashes especially hard upon activating his Liberation state, which turns all of his attacks into empowered heavy attacks. Similar to Calcharo, he works best with a Resonator who can buff his heavy attack damage or Aero stat.
Verina

Verina is a 5-Star Spectro Resonator who wields a Rectifier. Don’t let her childish appearance fool you into thinking she’s not capable, as this young botanist is possibly the most versatile Resonator in Wuthering Waves, and certainly the best support character. She just might be broken regarding how useful she is, as her passive skills grant attack bonuses for your team, her Outro skill continues to boost attack, and her Liberation ability heals everyone while marking enemies, who then suffer damage. At Union Level 40 she also unlocks the Grace of Life Inherent Skill, which protects a party member from fatal damage. Extraordinarly useful!
Yilin

Yilin is a 5-Star Electro Resonator who wields a Rectifier. She was an extremely popular character in Wuthering Waves' beta, but you’ll have to wait for Wuthering Waves' second Banner update to unlock her in the final game. You can look forward to stellar Electro damage and a skillset that marks enemies, making them susceptible to bonus damage even with Yilin off the playfield. Even if her final build differs from her beta incarnation slightly, Yilin will still be an S-tier character more than worth the wait.
