The Best Weapons in Wuthering Waves: Tier List

Weapons in Wuthering Waves are crucial in combat. Each of them enhances specific Resonator attributes. With so many options available, players want to know which weapons are the best and worth investing in. This list features the best weapons in each class to help players choose suitable options for their playthrough.

Note: Exclusive weapons are excluded from the list due to their obvious advantage over regular ones.

Currently, all Winter Brume weapons: Abyss Surges, Cosmic Ripples, Emerald of Genesis, Lustrous Razor, and Static Mist are considered S-tier in Wuthering Waves. Besides these rare items, the next best weapons are their 4-star equivalents: Stonard, Comet Flare, Scale: Slasher, Dauntless Evernight, and Undying Flame.

The following list shows the best weapons divided into three different tiers based on their attributes and synergy:

Used by: Danjin, Sanhua, Rover, Yangyang.

Besides the sword from the Winter Brume set, the best options in the Sword class are Scale: Slasher, Commando of Conviction, and Lumingloss. Beginner players can also use more accessible options like Lunar Cutter and Sword#18.

Scale: Slasher helps with energy regeneration, making rotations easier. On the other hand, Commando of Conviction and Lumingloss provide players with clear attack boosts, which are crucial for intense boss battles.

Used by: Calcharo, Jiyan, Taoqi.

The ideal broadblade in Wuthering Waves is Dauntless Evernight, unless the player has access to Lustrous Razor.

If neither is available, substitutes can be Autumntrace and Broadblade#41. Discord and Helios Cleaver are also reliable in early-game battles. Dauntless Evernight is an excellent overall choice as it provides an 8% attack increase and a massive 15% defense boost when the character's initial skill is unlocked.

Used by: Jianxin, Lingyang, Yuanwu.

Apart from Abyss Surges, the best glove in the game is Stonard. The 15-second damage bonus it provides makes it one of the best options in its class.

If Stonard is unavailable, players can rely on Amity Accord, Hollow Mirage, and Marcato. Beginners who lack top-tier gloves can craft the Gauntlet#21D, which can be worn throughout most of the story.

Used by: Baizhi, Encore, Yinlin, Verina.

The best rectifier in Wuthering Waves is undoubtedly Cosmic Ripples. However, since this weapon is hard to unlock, a good alternative is Comet Flare. This accessible rectifier heals the user every time its basic or heavy attack hits the target.

If neither is available, players should use Augment, Jinzhou Keeper, Variation, or Rectifier#25.

Used by: Aalto, Chixia, Mortefi.

In the Pistol class, the most powerful weapons are Undying Flame and Cadenza. Since both items are rare in Wuthering Waves, players can substitute them with Novaburst, Thunderbolt, or the craftable Pistol#26.

What makes these two pistols remarkable is that they both use the resonator's resonance skill. One uses it to restore energy, while the other increases its damage bonus by 20% for 15 seconds.

Choose the Resonator's exclusive weapon or the variant of their current Winter Brume weapon. If these are unavailable, upgrade a 4-star or higher weapon in the Resonator's class, considering the positive effects.

Each weapon has a base enhancement that affects certain attributes. For the best results, players should match these enhancements with their builds.
