Verina is a five-star character that features on the standard banner, and we recommend you pick her as your free five-star if you don’t already have her – we all need a good healer!
There is a plant-y vibe about her, so her attacks appear in the form of roots and branches that sprout from the ground beneath her enemies. Her skill allows her to heal herself and her party members, while her ultimate provides a full-party heal and an attack buff.
The best build for Verina includes the Comet Flare or Jinzhou Keeper rectifiers, and a full set of rejuvenating glow echoes, with a Bell-Borne Geochelone in the mix to provide a shield.
Who is Wuthering Waves’ Verina?
Verina is a botanist living in Jinzhou, after moving from the New Foundation. She used to be part of the Pioneer Association but now focuses on breeding plants and finding rare species.
How do I use Verina?
Verina is your healer, no matter what team she’s in. Using her resonance liberation provides healing and an attack boost to your party members, so use this as soon as it’s charged.
Pressing her resonance skill gives you one charge of her forte skill, which allows you to heal your team. You can use this by jumping into the air and performing a mid-air attack with the basic attack button – this uses the available charges and heals your party.

| Inherent skill – Grace of Life | Verina protects a party member from fatal damage and grants a shield equal to 120% of her attack which lasts for ten seconds. This can trigger once every ten minutes |
What’s the best weapon for Verina?
Verina uses the rectifier weapon type – akin to Genshin Impact’s catalysts. As she scales on attack and is a healer, we recommend the Comet Flare and Jinzhou Keeper if you have them.
| Weapon | Effect |
| Comet Flare (four-star) | When using Verina’s basic or heavy attacks to hit a target, she gets a healing bonus of 3% that can stack three times. This lasts for eight seconds and can trigger once every 0.5 seconds |
| Jinzhou Keeper (four-star) | When you use Verina’s intro skill, her attack and HP increases for 15 seconds |
| Variation (four-star) | When using Verina’s resonance skill, she restores concerto energy. This can trigger once every 20 seconds |
| Cosmic Ripples (five-star) | Increases Verina’s energy regeneration by 12%. When she hits a target with a basic attack, she gains a basic attack bonus that can stack five times. This lasts for eight seconds |
| Rectifier of Voyager (three-star) | When casting her resonance skill, Verina restores eight concerto energy. This can trigger once every 20 seconds |
What are the best echoes for Verina?
Verina’s healing scales off her attack stat, so keep this in mind when picking echoes for her. Each echo has two main stats and can get more as you tune them. For Verina, it’s best to equip her with any echoes that have a healing bonus or attack main stat. If you can get a two- or five-piece set of the rejuvenating glow type, then Verina gains a healing bonus and can increase the attack of the entire team.
The best echo for Verina is the Bell-Borne Geochelone, as it can provide a good shield. The Cruisewing is a good place to start, too, as when summoned it heals your party members. A Chasm Guardian can also provide a shield.
| Recommended echo | Effect |
| Bell-Borne Geochelone | Activating the Geochelone’s skill gives a shield to the character that lasts for three hits and provides a 50% damage reduction. Using this echo also deals heavy glacio damage one time |
| Cruisewing | Summon a Cruisewing that restores HP for the entire team four times |
| Stonewall Bracer | Transform into the Stonewall Bracer and attack the enemy – a successful attack creates a shield for the character |
