Updated on August 24, 2024, by Nahda Nabiilah: Wuthering Waves tier list sees a lot of ups and downs between version 1.0 and 1.2. The biggest change on the list is the fall of Calcharo, who was the top-tier DPS in WuWa 1.0. In version 1.2, he’s far outdone by other DPS like Jinhsi and Jiyan. Additionally, with each limited 5-star having a support/DPS specifically made for them, like Zhezhi for Jinhsi, Calcharo falls even harder on the list. As if that’s not bad enough, Rovers are spoiled with a free Xiangli Yao in version 1.2, causing Calcharo to have more DPS competition; this time, of the same Element. To reflect all the changes and help Rovers keep up with who’s still relevant and who can be benched, this article has been updated to include a more accurate Wuthering Waves tier list. S-Tier
S-Tier characters in Wuthering Waves are the best at what they do and can help players achieve the highest scores in the game.
Jinhsi is an amazing DPS in WuWa whose damage comes mostly from her Elemental Skill. She pairs well with Resonators who deal coordinated DMG such as Zhezhi, Verina, Yinlin, and Yuanwu.
Yinlin is a sub-DPS/support who effortlessly deal damage. Her rotation is short, so you can easily swap her out once her combo is over. While she can work as a main DPS, it’s best to let someone else fulfill the main damage dealer role.
Zhezhi makes an excellent sub-DPS in Wuthering Waves, but she’s an even better support. The painter buffs Glacio DMG and Skill DMG and can perform off-field coordinated attacks. Although the Glacio DMG buff is not very useful as of version 1.2, the Skill DMG buff and coordinated attack are perfect for Jinhsi. Additionally, she can also restore Energy for a teammate, making her a great support for Resonators who require a battery.
Verina is one of the best healers in Wuthering Waves. Not only that, but she also excels in her role as a DMG buffer. What makes her so good is her ability to do both while off-field since most of Verina’s healing comes from her Resonance Liberation, while her buffs are triggered once she activates her Outro Skill.
Jiyan combines massive Aero DMG with strong CC to create a top-tier DPS in Wuthering Waves. Although Jiyan’s attacks are all hurtful, his main DMG source comes from his Heavy ATK after he activates his Resonance Liberation, especially when his Forte Gauge is above 50%. Moreover, Jiyan’s mechanics make it easy for players to add the best characters to his team, and that further improves his already successful kit.
