What rarities are the Wuthering Waves characters?
In true gacha fashion, the characters in Wuthering Waves are available in four- and five-star rarities, with the five-stars being stronger, rarer units. For more information, we have a full list of all the characters so far in our Wuthering Waves characters guide.
What attributes do Wuthering Waves characters use?
In Wuthering Waves, there are six attributes – essentially, elements. These are aero, glacio, electro, fusion, havoc, and spectro. Each character uses one of these in a different way, coupled with one of five weapons (pistols, gauntlets, rectifiers, swords, and broadblades).
Most of these are pretty self-explanatory, havoc and spectro bring something new to the table in that they can annihilate matter and bind photons respectively.
That’s our Wuthering Waves tier list! If you, like us, are a big fan of mobile RPGs and gacha games, check out what we know about the Project Mugen release date right here.
