Wuthering Waves - VerinaVerina Support Replacement
Great replacement for Shorekeeper if you don't have her.

Sanhua also has an extremely short on-field time requirement enough to drop all her combos and fill her Concerto Energy. This makes sure that Camellya can still maximize the buffs provided by Shorekeeper, considering her long on-field time.

Shorekeeper is the no-brainer option as the best healer and support that provides Crit Rate and Crit DMG buffs to all her teammates. If you don't have Shorekeeper, Verina would be the next best option.

How to Build a Team

Team Building Guide



Choose a Main DPS

Main DPS Characters
Wuthering Waves - Xiangli YaoXiangli Yao Wuthering Waves - ChangliChangli Wuthering Waves - JinhsiJinhsi Wuthering Waves - JiyanJiyan

The first thing to keep in mind when creating a team is to decide who will be the team's main damage dealer.

The Main DPS is the Resonator who will have the most field time as they tend to deal the most damage out of the 3 members of the team.

Characters that can be considered as Main DPS have a kit that revolves around dealing damage through their Normal Attacks and Heavy Attacks.

Choose a Sub-DPS

Sub-DPS Characters
Wuthering Waves - ZhezhiZhezhi Wuthering Waves - YinlinYinlin Wuthering Waves - MortefiMortefi Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang

After choosing your Main DPS, pick a Sub-DPS that synergizes well with them. While the Main DPS gets swapped out, there is another DPS who will continue dealing damage and also gather Resonance Energy, for the Main DPS to use.

Choose a Support

Support Characters
Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper Wuthering Waves - VerinaVerina Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi Wuthering Waves - YouhuYouhu

To complete your team, add a Support character to it. The Support is responsible for healing or protecting the entire party as well as increasing the other members' damage!

Take Note of Type Immunity

Some enemies will have type immunities against certain elemental attacks. These can pose a problem especially if the team you formed are all using the same element. This is especially apparent when using Rectifier characters like Encore or Verina.

Samples of Enemies With Type Immunities

List of Echoes
Wuthering Waves - Fusion Prism IconFusion Prism Wuthering Waves - Glacio Prism IconGlacio Prism Wuthering Waves - Havoc Prism IconHavoc Prism
Wuthering Waves - Spectro Prism IconSpectro Prism

The Prism enemies are a kind of enemy immune to attacks that match its element. Fusion Prisms are immune to Fusion attacks, Havoc Prisms are immune to Havoc attacks, etc.

The idea behind the full aero team is to buff aero damage as that's how some of the characters work best. It's not the guide's fault if you come across element resistant enemies. The idea of these guides is to help you build an effective comp. So you need to learn what enemies you are going to be facing and build a comp around that, based off of the ideas given and who you have available to use.

Idk whose ideas was it to have all three with the same element comp, but I just found out that there are monster that resist 100% of one element and I had to use echo to kill it. Hopefully there are not a lot of that monster because if I built my team with one element only and had to fight those during time trial or something, it would be suck.
