Despite being included in the standard and beginner banners, Calcharo is one of the strongest Resonators of Wuthering Waves. He is a 5-star character who wields the Electro attribute and carries a Broadblade. His kit focuses on delivering powerful heavy attacks to take down the most powerful Echos. With his Ultimate, he reaches an empowered state capable of performing new combos while keeping enemies at bay. So, if you are lucky enough to have Calcharo, you better start getting the best weapon and teams for him in Wuthering Waves.
Best Weapons for Calcharo Build in Wuthering Waves
Calcharo’s combat style relies on him releasing his Ultimate skill to perform heavy-hitting attacks. Therefore, it is vital to remember specific stats, with ATK and CRIT DMG/Rate being the most important ones. Here are the weapons we recommend:
| Verdant Summit (5-star) Increases the DMG Bonus of all Resonance Attributes by 12%. Every time Intro Skill or Resonance Liberation is cast, it increases Heavy Attack DMG Bonus by 24%, stacking up to 2 times. This effect lasts for 14s. | Lustrous Razor (5-star) Increases Energy Regen by 12.8%. When Resonance Skill is released, it increases Resonance Liberation DMG by 7%, stacking up to 2 times. This effect lasts for 12s. | Autumntrace (4-star) Increases ATK by 4% upon dealing Basic Attack DMG or Heavy Attack DMG, stacking up to 5 times. This effect lasts for 7s and can be triggered one time every 1 second. |
Verdant is an excellent weapon to get a damage bonus, although, in the long run, the Energy Regen will become a more critical stat, so you could change it for Lustrous Razor. In contrast, Autumntrace is one of the best and most accessible weapons in Wuthering Waves for Calcharo, and it can match Verdant for the attack bonus.
Best Echoes Set for Calcharo
Of the different Echoes in Wuthering Waves, those focusing on doing and improving damage are ideal for Calcharo’s build. So, if you come across any of these in your path, don’t hesitate to absorb them.
| Void Thunder 5 Set: Upon using Heavy Attack or Resonance Skill, Electro DMG increases by 15%, stacking up to 2 times, each stack lasting for 15 seconds. Main Echo: Flautist. Effect: Transform into Flautist, continuously emitting Electro lasers, dealing 53.2% Electro DMG 10 times. Gain 1 Concerto Energy every time a hit lands. | Lingering Tunes 5 Set: While on the field, ATK increases by 5% every 1.5s, stacking up to 4 times. Outro Skill DMG increases by 60%. Main Echo: Flautist. Effect: Transform into Flautist, continuously emitting Electro lasers, dealing 53.2% Electro DMG for a total of 10 times. Gain 1 Concerto Energy every time a hit lands. | Void Thunder + Lingering Tunes 2 Set of Each: DMG increases by 10% + ATK increases by 10%. Main Echo: Flautist. Effect: Transform into Flautist, continuously emitting Electro lasers, dealing 53.2% Electro DMG for a total of 10 times. Gain 1 Concerto Energy every time a hit lands. |
Best Echo Stats: CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, Electro DMG, or ATK%. However, as you progress, the Energy Regen will be a very valuable stat for the endgame so that you can prioritize it instead of the ATK%.
Best Calcharo’s Team Comps
Among Calcharo’s best teams, fortunately, he has good synergy with 4 and 5-stars characters from Wuthering Waves. Even with the Lustrous Tides, you might not get the higher rarity ones, so you have options like:
- Calcharo – Main DPS
- Yinlin – Sub DPS
- Verina – Support
Yilin and Calcharo have great synergy as they both have the Electro attribute. When you trade Calcharo for Yilin, she will provide off-field Electro DMG and Liberation DMG buffs when you use her Outro Skill. Verina is one of the best and few healers, but you will be interested in her because she will give you a DMG Deepen bonus.
- Calcharo – Main DPS
- Jianxin – Sub DPS
- Baizhi – Support
Calcharo’s Burst and Jianxin’s buff will incredibly increase your Main’s Resonance Liberation DMG %. Use Jianxin just enough to get her Concerto and switch to Calcharo; her Outro Skill will group the enemies. Baizhi will also help you maintain your HP, plus it gives a bonus to your next unit with her Outro Skill.
Remember that to get the most out of it, Calcharo needs to max his Concerto Energy as fast as you can; he also needs to use Resonance Liberation and Forte Circuit first. With the right weapon and build, you will make Calcharo the best Resonator of all Wuthering Waves‘ DPS characters to date.
