Acolyte of the Order of the Deep, Wuthering Waves’ Phoebe, can pack a punch despite her demure appearance. She’s a five-star spectro DPS who works well with both limited and standard weapons and, though she performs best in an all-spectro team, she’s a relatively flexible unit suited to a variety of situations. Here’s everything you need to know about building her.
If you’re looking for some additional astrites, we’ve got all the new Wuthering Waves codes here to help you save up for Phoebe, or perhaps you can go for someone else who tops our Wuthering Waves tier list. Here are the upcoming Wuthering Waves banners to help you decide.

What are the best Phoebe team comps?
At the moment, Phoebe’s team comp options are a little limited. She works well with the spectro Rover, but until a DPS comes out that can properly use Phoebe’s Spectro Frazzle-related sub-DPS capabilities, it’s best to use her purely as a DPS.
