Best Calcharo Build in Wuthering Waves – Weapons, Echoes, and Team Compositions

The best Electro main DPS in Wuthering Waves, Calcharo sets himself apart through his ability to obliterate enemies while in his Deathblade Gear state. He also has one of the most fun, albeit🥂 technical, playstyles in the game, given his reliance on mix-ups.

But even after considering the above, you will still need to make use of a tailor-made team and build for him to shine in the late game. Here’s the best Calcharo build in Wuthering Waves, as well as a team sure to allow him to showcase aܫll of his might.

Best Weapons for Calcharo

The best weapon for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves is Jiyan’s signature 5-star Verdant Summit. The weapon excels by providing him with a 12% boost in Electro DMG and a total ܫof 48.6% Crit DMG —the latter when at level 90. The 5-star will also allow you to strengthen the damage of his Mercy Heavy Attack by up to 48%.

I🔯f our top pick is not an option for you, my main alternative will be the also 5-star Lustrous Razor. The weapon will provide Calcharo with both a🦄 handy amount of ER and a massive amount of ATK. Lustrous Razor also allows him to get an extra 14% boost in Resonance Liberation DMG by performing his Skill twice.

Best 4-Star Alternatives

My main 4-star pick for Cal🃏charo is the Battle-Pass exclusive Autumntrace. The weapon will offer him both a 20% increase in Crit Rate at level 90 and an easy-to-trigger up to 20% ATK buff. For those not planning on getting the Premium Pass, Helios Cleaver will be my main pick, given its high ATK value and focused buff.

Best Sonata and Echoes for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves

As you might have guessed, the best Sonata for Calcharo is a 5-piece Void Thunder. When equipped, the set will offer a permanent 10% Electro DMG buff and allow him to get𒁏 another 15% by performing his Resonance Skill. The buff triggered by the Skill will last 15 seconds and can stack two times to a total of 30%.

For the echoes, I recommend using either Thundering Mephis or Tempest Mephis as your main in a one Overlord, two Common, and two Elites composition. Although Thundering’s moveset is more to my liking, both echoes will buff Calcharo’s Electro and Liberation DMG by 12% after being used. The buff will last 15 seconds.

Best Stas and Substats

when talking about the main stats, I recommend that you invest in Crit Rate above all else. This is vital, as Calcharo’s low attack speed while in his regular state will demand it. For the remaining stats, focus on Electro DMG and ATK in equal measure. Substat-wise, prioritize Crit Rate, Energy Regen, Crit DMG, Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus, and ATK. Make sure to get his Crit Rate to around 60% for optimal damage.

To recap, here are the best echoes for Cal🍨charo, as well as our recommended mꦇain stats. 

Best Calcharo Team Compositions

The best team for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves will feature him as its main DPS, Jianxin as its sub-DPS/main support, and Verina as its healer. Jian🐲xin is vital here, given her ability to offer a 14-second 38% Resonance Liberation DMG Deepen buff through her Outro Skill. We will then have in Verina both all the healing we might need and the ability to resurrect party members.

Using Sanhua in the sub-DPS role can also work, as she can offer a 38% Basic Attack DMG Deepen boost. If you don’t have Verina, Baizhi can also excel. You will have to raise her to R5 to unlock the ability to revive, though.

If her kit remains unchanged, Yinlin will become the best pick for the sub-DPS/support role by a large margin. The reason for that lies in her Outro Skill’s ability to buff Calcharo’s Electro DMG by 20% and Liberation DMG by 25%. Luckily we won’t have to wait too much for her to debut, as she will be the star of the game’s second character-focused banner.
