Introduction to Beguiling Melody Guide

Wuthering Waves Beguiling Melody Guide: Beguiling Melody is a 3-Star Broadblade introduced in Version 1.1, forged from the scale of Jué and resembling a musical instrument. It has an ATK substat, providing a +30.4% ATK bonus at level 90. Released on June 28, 2024, it is considered underwhelming and not ideal for top-tier damage dealers like Jiyan, Jinhsi, or Calcharo. However, it can be used as upgrade fodder or collected for its unique design.

How to Obtain Beguiling Melody

Beguiling Melody is obtained by completing the Dance Dance Chelonian! side quest, available during Road to Pilgrimage in Chapter 1, Act 7. To start, go to the small island in the lake below the Hongzhen resonance nexus and help a Hoartoise rescue its kin. After a mini-game challenge, the Hoartoises will leave, rewarding you with Beguiling Melody, along with Union EXP and Astrites.

Important Notes on Viability:

Not Best-in-Slot (BiS):

Beguiling Melody is never considered the Best-in-Slot weapon for any character in the game.

It is generally seen as an underwhelming option when compared to other weapons available in the game.

Recommendation Against Use by Key Damage Dealers:

Despite being suggested for characters like Calcharo, Jinhsi, and Jiyan, it is not recommended to equip this weapon on top-tier damage dealers.

These characters should prioritize stronger weapons that provide higher damage output and more beneficial stats.

It is advised not to waste resources leveling up Beguiling Melody for these characters, as it does not contribute significantly to their performance.

Primary Use:

Upgrade Fodder:

The main value of Beguiling Melody lies in its potential to serve as good fodder for upgrading to better weapons.

Players can use it as material to enhance stronger weapons once they obtain higher-rarity options.

Overall Summary:

While characters like Calcharo, Jinhsi, and Jiyan can technically use Beguiling Melody, it is not recommended due to its low stats and limited effectiveness.

The weapon’s primary purpose is as an early-game item or as upgrade material for higher-tier weapons, rather than as a long-term choice for key damage dealers.
