Squads in Wuthering Waves: principles of formation and best teams

In Wuthering Waves battles are based on the interaction of several characters within one squad. It is extremely important to make teams of heroes that synergize with each other in order to get the most out of their skills and achieve the best result. In this guide, we will indicate what principles must be followed when creating battle groups, and also take a closer look at several combinations Resonators, which will be useful at any stage of the game.

Principles of squad formation in Wuthering Waves

In this game, teams can consist of three heroes. The only exception is some moments of the plot, when you are given an additional trial character. In general, the roles between the Resonators in the squad are distributed as follows:

1. Main-DD – deals the main damage and spends most of the time on the field. Usually these include heroes who contribute the main damage through ordinary and heavy attacks.
2. Sub-DD or buffer. The first option is focused on hitting out of bounds along with an active main DD. It can also help in gaining Resonance Energy. Buffers' abilities are mainly aimed at increasing the damage of your main damage dealer. Often, character skills combine the functionality of both of these roles.
3. Support - heroes who ensure the survival of the squad. These include various healers and shield warriors. They can also provide an additional buff to the damage of the entire squad.

You can learn more about all the heroes, their main skills and roles in the squad from this guide.

Note that not all characters belong strictly to one category. For this reason, in various combat circumstances, you can rely more on one or another of the hero’s skills. The above distribution of roles is the general and most effective principle for composing battle groups, without taking into account rare and specific situations. Over time, you will definitely find the best combinations of Resonators on your account.

In addition to the indicated functions that various members of the squad must perform, it is worth paying attention to the following points:

• Resonator skills, especially Outro (occurs when switching from a character) and Intro (when the character enters the field) the effects must be combined with each other. For example, Mortefi buffs the heavy attacks of the next hero who enters the field, which means you should choose a main DD who actively uses this type of attack. Aalto’s Outro skill gives a bonus to Aero damage, so it’s better to put it on a damage dealer who masters this element.
• Some monsters have increased vulnerability to any element, which means you should select Resonators who master the corresponding element. In this case, Mono elemental units can perform well.

Best units in Wuthering Waves

Next we'll look at some good commands. Some of them are suitable for beginners. Others will be relevant at later stages of the game, when a larger selection of characters appears on your account.

Budget squad

The best team for the early stages of the game, since all the characters will be provided to you almost at the very beginning of the story. Baizhi can heal his allies, so you can train your basic skills relatively painlessly. Chisya can replace Rover (Spectro) as the main DD if you prefer a long-range, slightly safer fighting style.

The best squad of Calciaro

In this unit, Sanhua will buff Calcharo's basic attacks with its Outro effect. Verina is best suited for the role of a healer, since she can not only heal, but also gives a nice increase in damage. If it is missing, then you can easily replace it with free Baizhi.

Best Encore Squad

Yangyang in this team will help the main damage dealer Encore quickly gain energy for Resonance Release, which will allow her to activate her most powerful skill more often. Verina or Baizhi are useful for buffing and increasing survivability.

Jianxin Best Squad

Within this squad, Jianxin plays the role of the main damage dealer, who is also capable of casting a shield and has a small hitch. Aalto will increase the heroine's Aero damage, and Yangyang will provide her with additional energy. Since Jianxin constantly creates defensive barriers, there is simply no need to put a healer on the team.

Lingyang's Best Squad

Lingyang does most of his damage in his Striding Lion state, which he enters after using Resonance Release. For this reason, Yangyang will be especially useful for him, allowing him to quickly gain energy for his ultimate. If necessary, it can be replaced with Sanhua, which buffs basic attacks. Verina or Baizhi are suitable for the role of healer.

Best Squad Danjin

Verina in this squad will provide a buff and the amount of healing necessary for Danjing, which is not so easy to do, since the heroine is constantly reducing the amount of her HP. Mortefi will increase the damage of main DD's heavy attacks, and will also be able to deal good damage himself.

Jiyan's Best Squad

One of the strongest damage dealers at the moment, Jiyan deals the main damage with heavy blows. For this reason, he will especially benefit from the Mortefi buff. If necessary, it can be replaced with Aalto, which gives a bonus to Aero attacks, which Jiyan uses. Verina will again be the best healer here.
