Wuthering Waves: Encore Build Guide (2024)

Among the characters that players can obtain on the standard banner in Wuthering Waves is a girl called Encore. Similar to Klee in Genshin Impact, she proves herself to be a reliable main DPS, making her one of the best drops from rerolling in Wuthering Waves.

If players did get Encore, whether by luck or through rerolling in Wuthering Waves, then they must know how to build and play her. Although she uses Rectifier to fight (equivalent to Catalyst in Genshin), her playstyle slightly changes after she uses her Ultimate.

Best Encore Echoes In Wuthering Waves

The best Echo for Encore in Wuthering Waves is the 5pc Molten Rift set. This Echo has the following effects:

• 2pc: Fusion DMG +10%.
• 5pc: Upon using Resonance Skill, Fusion DMG +30% for 15s.

If Echo farming has not been fruitful for Rovers, they can also opt for Lingering Tunes, which grants the following bonuses:

• 2pc: ATK +10%.
• 5pc: While on the field, ATK +5% every 1.5s, up to 4 times. Outro Skill DMG increases by 60%.

Since Encore's playstyle largely depends on her Resonance Liberation (Ultimate), 2pc Moonlit Clouds is also a decent option to ensure her Ult is always available in each rotation. 5pc of this Echo is not viable as it's supportive, not offensive.

• 2pc: Energy Regen +10%.
• 5pc: Upon using Outro Skill, ATK of the next Resonator +22.5% for 15s.

The main Echo for Encore should be Inferno Rider, which can be absorbed from the open-world boss. This Echo deals large Fusion damage upon transforming, and after the final hit, the current character will gain Fusion and Basic Attack DMG buff. Players can call upon their friends if the boss proves to be too difficult to beat.

Best Encore Weapons In Wuthering Waves

The current best weapon for Encore in Wuthering Waves is the Cosmic Ripples. It gives ATK% on its substat and offers Energy Regen on its passive. After hitting enemies with Basic Attacks, the weapon also increases Basic Attack DMG, perfect for Encore's playstyle, as her DPS mostly comes from her Basic hits.

For 4-star equipment, Augment is easily the best, although it requires players to buy the Battle Pass, which may not be an option for F2P Rovers. As an alternative, Jinzhou Keeper is a decent option, if one is lucky enough to get it from the Gacha system.

Players who aren't relying on luck can opt for either Rectifier of Night or Guardian Rectifier, both of which are close to each other in terms of performance. Guardian Rectifier has an easier buff but is limited to Basic and Heavy Attack, whereas Rectifier of Night boosts ATK for all of Encore's hits, but it only lasts 10s after Intro Skill is released. 10s may not be enough, considering Encore's Ultimate alone lasts for 10s. Rectifier of Night also demands players to ensure Intro Skill triggers while swapping Encore to take the field.

How To Play Encore In Wuthering Waves

Encore is a main DPS in Wuthering Waves. Her damage increases greatly once she uses her Ultimate, which enhances all of her moves. Therefore, having sufficient Energy Regen or sources is important for her.

Almost all of Encore's hits increase her Forte Gauge, which is called Mayhem. When the bar is full, players can use Encore's Heavy Attack (long press Basic Attack) to deal a large DMG in an AoE (this hit is considered Resonance Liberation DMG). Activating Mayhem state during her Ultimate also enhances the damage dealt.

Encore takes a few solid seconds when she casts her Mayhem, so it's a good idea to swap to another character to not waste time. Don't worry as the Mayhem state won't be interrupted even if you switch to another character.

Encore Forte Priority In Wuthering Waves

Encore skill priorities in Wuthering Waves are:

1. Resonance Liberation (Ultimate)
2. Resonance Skill
3. Forte Circuit (Passive)
4. Inherent Skills (Forte Circuit Tree Skill)
