Wuthering Waves Ultimate Brant Guide: Brant is a 5-star Fusion-element Resonator who wields a Sword. He excels as both a sub-DPS and a support, providing significant boosts to Fusion damage and Resonance Skill damage. His abilities allow him to amplify team-wide damage output, making him a key asset in Fusion-based compositions. Brant’s playstyle revolves around balancing damage dealing and support capabilities, with his Forte Circuit playing a crucial role in energy regeneration. This ensures a steady flow of abilities, maintaining both offensive pressure and sustained buffs for his team. While he is highly effective in his role, maximizing his potential requires careful stat allocation and synergy with the right teammates.

Brant was released in Phase 2 of Version 2.1 on March 6, 2025, in the Blaze Across the Deep banner. His signature weapon, Unflickering Valor, was also available in a limited-time weapon banner.

Has access to Mid-air Attacks and a Dodge Counter for evasive maneuvers.

If Bravo (Brant’s special resource) isn’t full while airborne, a Plunging Attack replaces this skill.

Waves of Acclaims: Heals all nearby Resonators when Bravo reaches thresholds of 25, 50, 75, and 100.
Returned from Ashes: When Bravo is full, replaces Resonance Skill Anchors Aweigh!, consuming all Bravo to deal Fusion DMG (considered Basic Attack DMG) and generate a shield.


Inherent Skills




Voyager’s Blaze: Increases the healing provided by Waves of Acclaims by 20%.


Trial by Fire and Tide: Grants resistance to interruption during Mid-air Attacks and provides a 15% Fusion DMG Bonus.


Resonance Liberation: To the Horizon




Deals Fusion DMG to targets within range and heals all nearby Resonators before entering the Aflame state. This skill can be used mid-air.

Brant’s kit allows him to fluidly transition between offense and support, enhancing Fusion-based teams with strong buffs and sustained healing. His Forte Circuit is particularly important for energy regeneration and overall team survivability, making him a valuable asset in prolonged battles.

Resonance Chain (Dupes)

Brant’s Resonance Chain enhances his damage, survivability, and team utility, making each additional copy of him a valuable upgrade. Each stage strengthens his core mechanics, particularly his Mid-air Attacks, Forte Circuit, and Outro Skill buffs.

Resonance Chain Effects


S1: By Currents and Winds

Returned from Ashes temporarily stagnates nearby targets, briefly interrupting their movement. Casting Applaud for Me! or each flip during a Mid-air Attack increases Brant’s damage output, improving his burst potential.


S2: For Smiles and Cheers

Using Mid-air Attack and Returned from Ashes increases Brant’s Crit Rate by 30%, significantly boosting his damage consistency. His Outro Skill receives an enhancement, further amplifying his team support capabilities.


S3: Through Storms I Sail

Increases the damage multiplier of Returned from Ashes by 42%, making his Forte Circuit finisher hit significantly harder.


S4: To Freedom I Sing

The shield generated by Returned from Ashes is increased by 20%, improving Brant’s survivability and defensive utility.


S5: All the World’s an Actor’s Stage

Dealing Basic Attack DMG grants Brant a 15% Basic Attack DMG Bonus, reinforcing his sustained damage output.


S6: All the World’s a Captain’s Carnevale

Mid-air Attack’s damage multiplier is increased by 30%, further strengthening his airborne combat effectiveness.

Brant’s Resonance Chain progressively enhances his damage, crit reliability, and team support, with notable improvements to his Forte Circuit and Mid-air Attacks. His final upgrade (S6) makes his Mid-air Attacks significantly stronger, reinforcing his role as a Fusion DPS and support hybrid.

Weapon Choices

Brant benefits most from weapons that provide Energy Regeneration, Crit Rate, and Basic Attack DMG bonuses, enhancing his Forte Circuit efficiency and sustained damage output.

Unflickering Valor (5-star, Signature Weapon)

The best option for Brant, offering an Energy Regen substat to support his Forte Circuit. Increases Crit Rate and Basic Attack DMG Bonus after using Resonance Liberation, enhancing both his damage and consistency.

Emerald of Genesis (5-star Alternative)

Provides a Crit Rate substat, improving Brant’s critical consistency. Grants Energy Regeneration through its passive, helping maintain his skill uptime.

Overture (4-star, Best F2P Option)

Features an Energy Regen substat, making it a strong choice for skill rotations. Passively restores Concerto Energy, aiding in faster Intro/Outro Skill activation.

Sword of Voyager (3-star, Budget Option)

A low-cost alternative, but lacks significant benefits compared to higher-rarity options.
Can be used if no better options are available, but upgrading to a 4-star or 5-star weapon is recommended.

For optimal performance, Unflickering Valor remains Brant’s best-in-slot due to its balanced stat distribution and passive effects, while Overture serves as the best free-to-play option for maintaining his energy needs.

Best Echo Sets

Brant benefits from Echo sets that enhance Energy Regeneration, ATK, and Fusion DMG, allowing him to optimize his Forte Circuit and Resonance Skills while maintaining strong team support and damage output.

Molten Rift (Offensive Option)


2-Piece Bonus: +10% Fusion DMG, increasing Brant’s primary damage output.
5-Piece Bonus: Grants +30% Fusion DMG for 15s after using a Resonance Skill, ideal for consistent Fusion-based damage.
Active Echo: Inferno Rider / Nightmare: Inferno Rider – complements Brant’s Fusion playstyle.

Hybrid Echo Set (Beginner-Friendly Choice)

Main Echo


Dragon of Dirge or Impermanence Heron, depending on whether you prioritize Brant’s personal damage or team buffs.

For best performance, Tidebreaking Courage is the ideal set for maximizing Brant’s Energy Regen and overall effectiveness, while Moonlit Clouds offers a strong support-focused alternative. Molten Rift can be used for a more offensive playstyle, depending on team composition and role preference.

Best Echo Stats

To maximize Brant’s damage potential and support capabilities, focus on Energy Regeneration, Critical Stats, and Fusion DMG. His Forte Circuit and Resonance Skills benefit greatly from high Energy Regen, allowing him to maintain consistent skill rotations and team support.

Main Stats Priorities:

4-Cost Echo: Prioritize CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG for optimal damage scaling.
3-Cost Echo: Choose Energy Regen%, Fusion DMG%, or ATK% depending on build focus.
1-Cost Echo: ATK% is the best option for additional damage output.

Sub-Stats Priorities:

Energy Regen (280% Priority): Ensures fast Forte Circuit activation and consistent buffs/healing.
CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG: Essential for boosting overall damage output.
ATK%: Increases base damage of all attacks.
Basic Attack DMG / Heavy Attack DMG Bonus: Enhances Brant’s primary damage sources.
Resonance Liberation DMG / Resonance Skill DMG (Low Priority): Can be useful but not the main focus.

For the best results, stack Energy Regen first while balancing CRIT and ATK stats to optimize damage and team utility.
