Wuthering Waves - Hazard Tower (Hazard Zone) Guide

Check out how to beat the Hazard Zone's Hazard Tower in Wuthering Waves Version 3.1. We have the best characters and stage guides for each floor here!

The Hazard Tower is the hardest of the three towers in the Hazard Zone, so we suggest going for two full teams of your strongest characters.

If possible, make sure the buffs provided by the Tower work in favor with your team but if not, you may use any team that have neither increased RES from enemies nor the tower. In addition, you should always have your most powerful support here so reserve your Shorekeeper and Mornye here!

Floors 3 and 4 Require a New Team

To fully clear all four floors of the Hazard Tower, you will need at least 2 full teams since each floor consumes 5 Vigors each. Floor 3 and 4 were added in Version 2.6.

Best Team Composition

For the Sub-DPS and Support options, the top option is the best one to use.

Wuthering Waves - JinhsiJinhsi

In this Tower of Adversity Cycle, the first two Hazard Tower floors' buffs revolve around Aero and Spectro, with the latter being highly recommended for most players. The best team to use for the first two floors is Luuk Herssen's team, though be wary that the team uses Lynae and Mornye which are also quite needed for Floors 3 and 4.

We suggest using either Luuk Herssen's F2P team with Sanhua and Shorekeeper but if the damage is not enough, other teams that may take advantage of the Spectro and Aero RES decreases would work.

Use Alternative Teams if You Can

Using Luuk's premium team will eat up Lynae and Mornye's Vigor, so we don't generally recommend using them this early considering Floors 3 and 4 are heavily advantageous to Aemeath's Tune Rupture and Fusion Burst teams.

Instead, with both Spectro and Aero being the buffed attributes, this opens up a lot of alternative teams. Cartethyia's Erosion team would be the best alternative, and Zani's Spectro Frazzle on the Spectro-side of things. Jinhsi's team from 1.X would also work to burst down enemies one after the other. Just be sure to take time to master their rotations since the second part of the interference won't benefit them to the slightest.

Like Floor 1, Floor 2 also revolves around Aero and Spectro, with the latter being highly recommended for most players. The best team to use for the first two floors is Luuk Herssen's team, though be wary that the team uses Lynae and Mornye which are also quite needed for Floors 3 and 4.

Use the same strategy in Floor 1, focusing on either Luuk's team or alternative teams if you're aiming to save Lynae and Mornye for Floor 3 and 4.

Aemeath Tune Rupture

Main DPS Sub DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - AemeathAemeath * Wuthering Waves - LynaeLynae * Wuthering Waves - MornyeMornye
*Set both Lynae's and Aemeath's Resonance Modes to Tune Rupture.

The best team for Hazard Tower Floor 3 and 4 is Aemeath together with Lynae and Mornye. This team revolves around both Tune Rupture for her damage, making her essentially the most fitting for the upper floors of this tower.

Aemeath Fusion Burst

Wuthering Waves - AemeathAemeath Wuthering Waves - LupaLupa Wuthering Waves - ChisaChisa
*Set both Lynae's Resonance Mode to Tune Rupture and Aemeath's mode to Fusion Burst.

Aemeath's Fusion Burst team also takes center stage here, this time together with Lynae and Chisa. This allows Aemeath to take advantage of the Fusion Burst buffs of the tower, making it possible to clear this even with a non-optimal team.

Luuk Herssen Tune Strain

Main DPS Sub DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - Luuk HerssenLuuk Herssen Wuthering Waves - LynaeLynae * Wuthering Waves - MornyeMornye
*Set both Lynae's Resonance Mode to Tune Strain

Luuk's Tune Strain team can also make use of some of the buffs here, and is viable when used with Lynae and Mornye. Since ToA is single target, Luuk performs well here but not as good as Aemeath's Tune Rupture team. Be sure to use him only if you don't have Aemeath.

General Tune Break

Main DPS Sub DPS Support
Any Non-Negative Status DPS Wuthering Waves - LynaeLynae * Wuthering Waves - MornyeMornye
*Set Lynae's Resonance Mode to Tune Rupture.

While Aemeath is the best DPS unit for this floor, any general DPS will still perform with the Tune Break comp core of Lynae and Mornye together. Both characters provide a lot of general damage buffs that revolve around Off-Tune Buildup and Tune Break DMG, making any unit utilize the Interference benefits.

Teams that scale off Resonance Liberation DMG will particularly benefit from Lynae's buffs, but you will already see huge improvement in damage with the massive All DMG amplification the two provide together.

Very dissapointing situation as it is kinda impossible to 3-star clear floor 4 with an strong 2.x teams like augusta s2, iuno s2, shorekeeper s1. Feels like 2.x character damage resistance ... so stupid and makes me think about quitting. I just dont like tune rupture. It is stupid.

I guess Kuro is shilling for new characters too much lately :/ I'm very dissapointed since I cannot clear last floor with my s4 and s3 characters from 2.x patches .-. even s0 mono-fusion team not working sooo great
