Aalto is a 4-star Aero Resonator in Wuthering Waves. This elusive information broker uses the power of the mists to dash around the battlefield, firing his dual pistols with precision while avoiding enemy attacks.

PostsAalto is an extremely fast and mobile character with a unique playstyle, but requires a bit more fine-tuning than other, more straightforward Resonators in the game. Below, we'll take a look at everything you need to know to maximize Aalto's potential, including the best weapons and Echoes to equip, and the best teammates to pair him with.
Best Weapons For Aalto
Rank
Weapon
Description And Reason For Synergy
1
Static Mist (5-star)
Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When Outro Skill is released, increases the switched-in Resonator's ATK by 10%, stacking up to 1 time. This effect lasts for 14s.
This is a great support weapon that lets Aalto buff the next character after a swap, increasing their damage. This pairs well with Aalto's Outro Skill which buffs the Aero damage of the next character.
2
Undying Flame (4-star)
When Intro Skill is released, increases Resonance Skill DMG Bonus by 20% for 15s.
Undying Flames increases the damage of Aalto's Mist Missiles when using his Resonance Skill after swapping in through his Intro Skill. This weapon is better if you're using Aalto as a main DPS rather than a sub-DPS, but can work in either role.
3
Novaburst (4-star)
When the Resonator dashes or dodges, increases ATK by 4%, stacking up to 3 times. This effect lasts for 8s.
Novaburst perfectly complements Aalto's preferred playstyle of dashing around, increasing his damage with each dash. If you time your dodges within the 8-second window, you should have no problem maintaining the full 12% ATK buff.
4
Cadenza (4-star)
When Intro Skill is released, increases ATK by 8%, lasting for 10s.
Cadenza works similarly to Undying Flame, but instead provides a general attack buff that is less powerful and doesn't last as long. However, this buff will apply to all of Aaltos' damage rather than just his Mist Missiles.
Best Echoes For Aalto
There are two ways you can build Aalto: as a main DPS or a sub-DPS. While Aalto works better as a support rather than a main damage carry, he can play either role depending on your dedication. Depending on which route you want to go, you'll want to use different Echoes.
For a main DPS build, we recommend using the Sierra Gale Sonata Effect set, with Feilian Beringal as the main Echo. This will provide increased Aero damage for Aalto's attacks, and even further increased Aero damage after releasing his Intro Skill.
Here are the Echoes that can have the Sierra Gale set.

For a support DPS build, you'll want to use the Moonlit Clouds Sonata Effect set. This set emphasizes swapping into Aalto to use his skills and generate Energy, then swapping to the main DPS to take advantage of these buffs. The Moonlit Clouds 5-set effect provides a 22.5 percent attack buff for the next character after switching.
The Impermanence Heron is the best main Echo to use with this set because of its Echo Skill. This skill provides Resonance Energy for Aalto, and if he uses his Outro Skill, the next character's damage will be increased by 12 percent.
The following Echoes can spawn in the Moonlit Clouds set.

Best Team For Aalto
Aalto is best used as a support DPS for another Aero Resonator like Yangyang or Jiyan, and excels when hot-swapping him with either of these characters. Bring along Verina or Baizhi for heals, and you've got a solid team.
- Main DPS: Jiyan
- Sub DPS: Aalto
- Support: Verina or Baizhi
Aalto's Outro Skill provides an Aero damage bonus to the next character, so be sure you're always swapping him into your Aero DPS character.
Aalto Skill Upgrade Priority
Most of Aalto's damage comes from his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill, so these are the two that you should spend your materials on first when upgrading Aalto's Forte. His Forte Circuit is also fairly important, and his Resonance Liberation is strong, but it doesn't benefit from each upgrade like his Basic Attack and Resonance Skill do.
We recommend prioritizing Aalto's Forte skills in the following order when spending your resources.
- Highest Priority: Basic Attack
- High Priority: Resonance Skill
- Medium Priority: Forte Circuit
- Low Priority: Resonance Liberation
- Lowest Priority: Intro Skill
Aalto's Intro Skill contributes negligibly to his overall damage, so you can safely leave this un-upgraded unless you're trying to squeeze every bit of damage out of him as you can.
