Calling all adventurers! Ready to explore the wastelands of Wuthering Waves? This action RPG by Kuro Games takes you on an epic journey in a vast open world. Get ready for thrilling battles and a captivating story. Want a head start? We’ve got some recommendations for the best characters for beginners in Wuthering Waves to help you conquer those early challenges.
Wuthering Waves
In Wuthering Waves version 1.0, there will be 17 different “resonators” to obtain and build, each with unique abilities tied to their rarity tier. While those coveted 5-star resonators will eventually become your heavy hitters, the 4-star units can be extremely valuable early teammates. Here are four of the best beginner characters to prioritize:
Baizhi – The Best Healer for Beginners
Baizhi is one of only three healers available, making her an absolute must-build for new players. This 4-star Glacio resonator wields a Rectifier and boasts a kit loaded with healing and ally buffing abilities. Her resonance skills, ultimate, intro/outro, and passives will keep your team healthy while boosting offense too.
Danjin – High-Risk, High-Reward Glass Cannon
If you love throwing caution to the wind and going full DPS, then Danjin is the 4-star Havoc you’ll want. This crimson dual-wielding swordswoman sacrifices some HP to amplify her damage output to unbelievable levels. Unlike other characters with cooldowns, Danjin can spam skills as long as she has health to burn. Staying alive is the tricky part, but her self-healing helps mitigate that.
Rover – The Versatile Protagonist
As the main protagonist, Rover (available in male or female) is going to be one of the stronger 5-stars right out of the gate. Early on, you’ll only have access to their Spectro abilities, which provide decent burst damage and team-wide healing. But as you progress through Wuthering Waves’ story, Rover will unlock new elemental powers, making them an extremely flexible unit to build around.
Mortefi – Fusion Pistol-Slinging Utility
Although primarily a 4-star ranged DPS dealing Fusion damage, Mortefi’s true strength lies in utility and sub-DPS roles. His kit allows him to simultaneously deal decent damage while buffing teammates through coordinated follow-up attacks. You’ll get great value maximizing his Forte Circuit for AoE nukes and enabling mode for team support.
Team Composition
The key in Wuthering Waves’ early stages is to build a balanced team while concentrating resources on units that will remain relevant later. By prioritizing resonators like Baizhi, Danjin, Rover, and Mortefi, you’ll cover healing, DPS, safety, and utility – the perfect foundations for any squad. Then, as you collect higher rarity resonators, you can subspecialize around your preferred playstyle and team composition.
Conclusion
There’s a lot more strategic depth to explore in Wuthering Waves, from artifacts and gear to team resonance bonuses. But for now, make sure to have this beginner’s character roadmap in mind so you can hit the ground running in Kuro Games’ newest ARPG world!
