Wuthering Waves Tier List

We’ve ranked all the characters in the Wuthering Waves tier list Version 1.1 based on their performance and combat skills. The tier list has analyzed the characters according to their combat potential in the game, specifically focusing on Tower of Adversity (ToA) content. Additionally, we’ve assessed the Wuthering Waves characters depending on their abilities and the present Holograms game mode.

Late Updated:

1. The “Wuthering Waves Tier List” is based on Version 1.0, although we’ve compared it with progress data analysis from CBT3 for better clarity. Progress is ongoing in the game, with continuous updates being made.

2. Every character’s overall strength and their team composition have been carefully considered, which is crucial for progress in the game. Each character has a different role, so we’ve created builds for each one. You can visit the page to see them.

3. We’ve focused not only on the Tower of Adversity (ToA) and Closed Beta Test 3, but also on each character’s highest resonance chain, which will help improve their performance. Additionally, we’ve included 5-star and 4-star weapons in the ranking criteria.

4. In this tier list, we’ve included the sequence node for all characters, from Sequence 0 to Sequence 6, as it helps enhance their overall abilities.

5. Not just that, the primary focus for all characters has been on damage and the best echo build, which greatly enhances their overall performance. After analysis, we found that Jiyan is the best damage package in the game, with strong single-target and AoE damage, as well as effective crowd control.

Rank Score

Each character has been assigned a percentage score based on their performance and team composition in the Tower of Adversity (ToA), considering their damage abilities. You can see each character’s rank score and its meaning here.

  • 80% – 100% — All the powerful characters possess incredible support abilities, AOE damage, and effective crowd control abilities. Moreover, they are easy to use, making them formidable choices in the game.
  • 60% – 80% — Considering only the main DPS is essential, but we can also select sub-DPS for a balanced team composition. Additionally, choosing a healer is crucial for the team composition.
  • 40% – 60% — Although they may not have the highest performance among damage dealers, sub-DPS, and healers, they are still useful for beginners.
  • 20% – 40% — These characters fall into the below-average category, but their performance can significantly improve when their abilities are maximized.
  • 0% – 20% — Characters with niche abilities that excel only in specific environments

Version 1.1.0 — WuWa version 1.1.0 has been released and we are currently testing new characters. Meanwhile, you can check out the builds for Jinhsi.

Sanhua — Rank 🢁 Up

Rover (Spectro) — Rover (Spectro) is in C Tier, but is better than Jianxin.

Spectro (Rover) — Tier C 🢃 Spectro (Rover) has received a ranking alongside Havoc (Rover). While Spectro (Rover) was initially in Tier B, its overall AoE performance has led to a decrease in its rank, bringing it down to Tier B.

Havoc (Rover) — Tier B 🢁 The change in Havoc (Rover)’s rank occurred because its damage-dealing abilities are high, especially due to Resonance Liberation. This character is still being refined, hence the adjustment in its ranking.
