Phase 4 Schedule

Battlefield Info

Battlefield Info
A Shadow Wave is generated 1.5s after casting Resonance Skill to attack the enemies, dealing Havoc DMG. This effect has a cooldown of 3s, with the cooldown calculated independently for each Resonator.
Team I Buff: All team members of Havoc Attribute restore 4 additional Concerto Energy per second.
Team II Buff: All team members restore 2 additional Concerto Energy per second.

Best Buff to Use

Best Buff Dream Cosmos Suite
Hitting an enemy with Intro Skill casts Shadow Wave once to attack the enemy.

The best buff to use is Dream Cosmos Suite because it is the fastest way to clear all the enemies in the wave. The wave will hit all enemies, so they will get damaged regardless of where they are. The buffs for all teams also charges the Concerto Energy passively, so you will be performing Intro Skills really frequently!

Quickswap Strategy is King

Considering this buff, we suggest always switching to another character as soon as the current one has charged their Concerto Energy. This triggers the Shadow Wave every time, which can clear waves really quickly.

Best Teams for Pincer Maneuver Warriors III

Team 1

Best Team Compositions
Wuthering Waves - CamellyaCamellya Wuthering Waves - RocciaRoccia Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper
Wuthering Waves - CamellyaCamellya Wuthering Waves - SanhuaSanhua Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper
Free-To-Play Option
Wuthering Waves - Rover (Havoc)Rover (Havoc) Wuthering Waves - SanhuaSanhua Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi

The buff for the first team is maximized if you are running a Havoc DMG team. For this half, the best team to use is a Camellya team but a Rover (Havoc) team is not bad too!

If you are free to play, Havoc (Rover) is a great alternative, with Sanhua as the Sub-DPS! For the healer, you can choose between the two 5-star healer-supports (Verina or Shorekeeper) and if you're free-to-play, choose Baizhi.

Team 2

Best Team Composition
Wuthering Waves - JiyanJiyan Wuthering Waves - MortefiMortefi Wuthering Waves - VerinaVerina

Free-To-Play Option
Wuthering Waves - ChixiaChixia Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi

Team 2 is not very restrictive with the elements, so you can use whichever team you have built outside the Havoc team required in the first team. We suggest going with a team with AoE attacks to better dispatch the waves of enemies in the second half.
