Wuthering Waves introduces players to an exciting array of characters called Resonators, each with unique skills, strengths, and weaknesses. With only three Resonators allowed per team, creating the perfect balance for your squad can be challenging. To help you make the best choices, we’ve compiled a comprehensive Resonators Tier List, categorizing the best characters to dominate your battles.

We break down the best Resonators below!

S-Tier Resonators

These Resonators are the crème de la crème, excelling in their roles and offering unmatched power and utility.

• Carlotta: As the newest addition to Wuthering Waves, Carlotta is an exceptional Main DPS specializing in Glacio damage. With her ability to deliver devastating burst and continuous damage, she is a top pick for players seeking raw power.
• Jinhsi: Jinhsi is the ultimate Spectro Main DPS, boasting high-damage multipliers that make her more formidable with each upgrade. She’s an essential choice for Spectro-focused teams.
• Zhezhi: Zhezhi is a phenomenal Sub-DPS Resonator, offering off-field buffs and Glacio DMG amplification. She pairs seamlessly with Carlotta, enhancing her already immense Glacio damage output.
• Yinlin: A versatile Sub-DPS, Yinlin excels in Electro damage and provides off-field support. She synergizes well with Xiangli Yao and Calcharo, other top-tier Electro Resonators.
• Shorekeeper: One of the best supports in the game, Shorekeeper provides robust healing and versatile buffs to allies regardless of their attributes. She shines when paired with high-damage Resonators needing sustainability.
• Camellya: As a Havoc Resonator, Camellya delivers impressive AoE damage with an intuitive skill set. Her long-range abilities make her a reliable pick for various combat scenarios.

A-Tier Resonators

A-Tier Resonators are strong contenders that can hold their own but may lack the versatility or power of S-Tier characters.

• Xiangli Yao: The best Electro Main DPS, Xiangli Yao dishes out powerful damage and slows enemies. While his skills require careful execution, mastering him can yield incredible results.

• Calcharo: Another solid Electro DPS option, Calcharo is easier to use than Xiangli Yao, though slightly less powerful.

• Encore: As a Fusion Main DPS, Encore excels at pure damage output. However, her lack of self-sustainability can be a drawback in prolonged fights.

• Verina: A strong alternative to Shorekeeper, Verina provides team-wide healing and buffs. However, her lower damage potential places her a tier below.

• Jiyan: Jiyan offers impressive single-target and AoE damage with added crowd control. However, his overall damage potential falls short of other top-tier Resonators.

• Rover (Havoc): Rover shines as a burst damage dealer, excelling with Basic Attacks. Pairing them with the Echo Dreamless further enhances their effectiveness.

• Changli: Changli is a Fusion Main DPS capable of self-buffing her attack after using her Ultimate. Though lacking standout skills, she is a reliable pick for consistent damage.

• Mortefi: Mortefi stands out for enabling coordinated Fusion attacks even off-field, making her a valuable support option for teams without multiple 5-star Resonators.

• Sanhua: Sanhua is a Sub-DPS that enhances Basic Attack DMG for allies. Her damage output and support abilities make her a strong choice.

• Danjin: Despite being a free character, Danjin delivers high damage. However, players must carefully manage her HP-drain mechanic to use her effectively.

B-Tier Resonators

While B-Tier Resonators aren’t inherently weak, they lack the utility or strength to compete with higher-tier characters for long-term use.

B-Tier Resonators: Jianxin, Rover (Spectro), Aalto, Yuanwu, Baizhi, Youhu, and Lumi.

C-Tier and Below

C-Tier Resonators are early-game options that struggle to compete in advanced content. Investing in these characters for the long term is not recommended.

C-Tier Resonators: Lingyang, Yangyang, Chixia, and Taoqi.
