The best weapons for Phrolova in Wuthering Waves
To no one’s surprise, the best weapon for Phrolova in Wuthering Waves is her signature 5-star Lethean Elegy. The rectifier will boost her Crit Rate by 24.3% and increase her ATK by 12% (R1). Most importantly, upon dealing Echo Skill DMG, the weapon allows Phrolova to ignore 8% of her target’s Havoc Resistance for 12 seconds, all while getting a 32% boost in both Echo and Resonance Skill DMG (R1).

Cantarella’s Whispers of Sirens is also a fair pick for Phrolova via its massive 72% CRIT DMG substat and ability to ignore Havoc Resistance.
Best 4-Star and F2P picks
Although her unique strengths make most of the game’s F2P weapons poor choices, Cosmic Ripples’ high ATK sees it take the spot as Phrolova’s best option. In the 4-star front, the Pioneer Podcast-exclusive Augment is by far the best fit, mainly for its 20% Crit Rate increase. To recap and give you one more option, here are the best weapons for Phrolova in Wuthering Waves:

Image by DestructoidGiven its 20% Crit Rate and 35% Echo Skill DMG Bonus effects, Dream of the Lost is the best Sonata for Phrolova in Wuthering Waves. Nightmare: Hecate then takes the spot of her non-debatable main echo via its 12% Havoc and 20% Echo Skill DMG boost passives. To close it off, pair the Sonata with a 2-piece Havoc Eclipse or Midnight Veil for another welcome 10% Havoc DMG increase.
Recommended stats and substats
Thanks to the Crit Rate provided by the above, we will be investing in a 4-3-3-1-1 formation featuring a CRIT DMG main echo and duos of Havoc DMG and ATK. For substats, focus on CRIT DMG and Rate until you reach at least the recommended 70/250% threshold.
The best Phrolova teams in Wuthering Waves
Image by DestructoidAs shown in her trial, the best Phrolova team in Wuthering Waves features her, Roccia, and Cantarella, with the latter two working as sub-DPSs. When in the field, this team will revolve around triggering Phrolova’s Liberation via her Basic Attack and Skill chains before switching to Roccia and Cantarella, the latter of which can both provide healing and allow our conductor to stack Aftershock at record time before taking the field again.
If you don’t have Roccia, a fully upgraded Havoc Rover is our ideal backup, as even if unable to offer Outro buffs, their passives and solid on-field damage will more than make up for it. If you don’t have Cantarella, just go for a regular healer instead.
The best F2P Phrolova team
The best F2P Phrolova team features her, the mentioned Havoc Rover, and Danji in what I like to call a Berserker composition. But why Berserker? Well, while Phrolova’s off-field focus allows her to stay mostly safe, Rover and Danjin will have to rely on their self-healing to stay up. In other words, the more damage you deal, the more you heal.
To recap, here’s an overview of the best premium and free-to-play Phrolova teams in Wuthering Waves:
- Phrolova + Roccia + Cantarella: Phrolova’s BIS team. Has in Roccia a reliable dose of both damage and buffs. Cantarella then shines by allowing her to gain Aftersound quickly for a welcome series of CRIT Buff.
- Phrolova + Cantarella/Roccia/Havoc Rover + Shorekeeper/Verina: A safer variant of our main team, relying on Shorekeeper or Verina for healing. The former’s CRIT-raled buffs can be game-changing.
- Phrolova + Danjin + Havoc Rover: Best F2P pick. Using Verina in any place can also work if you are looking for more survivability. Danjin’s Outro Passive makes her the best 4-star teammate for Phrolova, and it’s not close.
Now that you know how to build Phrolova, we also highly recommend that you take a look at the game’s most recent codes. After all, who can say no to free Astrite?
