Wuthering Waves' combat is slow-paced in a way that enemies can have a quick succession of attacks, but they usually enter a short cooldown before launching another series of attacks . However, if you get caught by any of these regular attacks, you'll see the health bar of your active character deplete quite f

That's an encouraging sign for a fledgling live service SLG game resource Management that has to compete for time with well-established titles in the same space. I'm optimistic Wuthering Waves can entice players early - there's enough variation in its game world, its compelling combat systems, and it's another open-world ARPG with an exciting hook - but launch will certainly be a make-or-break time for the game. **Overall, the hands-on experience with the game definitely cements the fact that Wuthering Waves is a game to watch and an exciting design within the action RPG gacha ecosystem

For example, different types of Prisms have immunity to their respective type of damage, and you won't be able to do much if your DPS belongs to that type . Whenever you get close to an enemy type for the first time, you'll see a tutorial giving you their basic description. It's highly recommended to read these before moving forw

Encore: Encore is perfect hybrid DPS in terms of being able to dish out both ranged and melee attacks, since she transforms into a melee powerhouse during her Ultimate, dealing most of her damage during this period. Her Ultimate combo is straightforward and forgiving, making her easier to play than characters like Calcharo on that regard, though she will have hard time parrying, which might be quite a deal-breaker for some players. Encore boasts one of the highest single-target DPS windows, but as of now, she does not have a well-synergizing sub-dps partner, except Sanhua. In short, Encore is a solid DPS and is highly effective in the Tower of Adversity, but her ideal team composition is a little lacking due to the existing roster of characters. DPS wise, she is similar to Calcharo, and ultimately players should pick either one of them depending on their preference in play style, or character design, if they are intending to pick a DPS character as their priority.

Given that 5-star characters in standard permanent banners typically do not remain dominant in the meta for long, as seen in other similar games like Genshin Impact , rerolling is generally not worth it for most players in the long run. There is also no guarentee that players will be lucky with their pulls for their most desired characters in the upcoming patches, considering the low early pity rates. Nevertheless, if players are keen on obtaining Jiyan, the first limited banner character, within 10-20 pulls, rerolling might be worth considering. It is also worth noting that, it is not worth rerolling for weap

Jianxin: Jianxin is a character that gives the good description of jack of all trades, master of none, being a hybrid character who balances support and damage roles, offering diverse team benefits. She excels in sustain, making her quite useful in overworld content combined with her AoE attacks that are excellent for defeating weaker groups of enemies. However, her versatility is both a strength and a weakness. Jianxin requires a lot of field time, making her not the best teammate for most of the existing primary DPS characters. She is prone to interruptions, struggles with high energy costs, and lacks the damage output needed for endgame content. Generally, for players who are interested in completing the story, exploring the world, and farm in overworld, over tackling end game content as of now, she is an excellent pick. Priority:
