Best Verina Builds in Wuthering Waves: Best Weapons, Echo, and Teams
Verina is a five-star support heroine who can heal allies and increase their damage. Moreover, you can get her in Wuthering Waves completely for free. In this guide, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the character, her skills, and the items that will enhance Verina's abilities.
Who is Verina
- Rarity: ;
- Attribute: Spectro;
- Weapon: Rectifier;
- Class: Innate;
- Place of Birth: New Federation;
- Group: Nature Calls.
Verina used to be part of the Pioneer Association team from the New Federation. She was remembered as a modest but self-assured breeder girl. The beauty often becomes the overseer of expeditions. She was given this position out of respect for her knowledge in botany and her innate determination. For Verina, it is important that every flower and petal is blessed with the miracle of life. Moreover, she always smiles and glows with happiness while working.
The girl's global task is to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and regulate species numbers. At the same time, she strives to grow special flowers that reduce the burden on fighters and indirectly save their lives.
In her free time, Verina loves to stroll through the cobbled streets of Jinzhou and enjoy the special atmosphere of the city. People, plants, and the smell of delicious food inspire her and create the right mood.
Verina's Strengths and Weaknesses
Pros
- Excellent healer. Thanks to Photosynthesis Marks, Verina can restore allies' health even when she is not on the battlefield;
- Significantly increases the damage of fighters in your squad, especially those who wield the spectro element;
- Can protect a teammate from a fatal injury with a powerful shield that is automatically deployed;
- Verina's skill effectiveness depends on her attack power, so you only need to develop this parameter;
- Ability to weaken enemies. This is especially effective when combined with strengthening allies;
- Can increase damage for all teammates at once, which is extremely useful when playing with two attacking characters.
Cons
- Dies from a few hits;
- Deals little damage;
- Skills have long cooldowns;
- Healing primarily goes to the character on the battlefield. Therefore, to restore health, you have to bring the wounded hero back into the fray and risk their life;
- Resonance release consumes an unjustifiably large amount of energy, so you need to find a way to restore it and use it wisely.
Verina's Active Skills
Cultivation, Basic Attack:
- Basic Attack. The heroine performs five strikes on enemies, each dealing spectro damage.
- Heavy Attack. An enhanced version of the previous move. The damage is higher, but it consumes stamina.
- Mid-Air Attack. Three strikes from above that deal increased damage and consume stamina.
- Mid-Air Heavy Attack. A powerful plunge attack with increased effectiveness and additional stamina consumption.
- Dodge Counter. Activates if you land a basic attack after a perfect dodge. Deals spectro damage.
Resonance Skills:
- Resonance Skill: Botany Experiment. Creates a special zone that lifts your enemies into the air.
- Resonance Liberation: Arboreal Flourish. Simultaneously attacks enemies and restores the life force of allies. If an enemy is affected by this skill but survives, they receive a special Photosynthesis Mark. Up to 4 such marks can be applied.
- Photosynthesis Mark. If an enemy is under its effect, Verina's basic attack on them restores the health of the active character. Heavy attacks and mid-air plunges consume one mark but restore concert energy and the health of all heroes in the team.
Switching Skills:
- Intro Skill: Verdant Growth. Deals spectro damage to the target.
- Outro Skill: Blossom. Restores the life force of the next fighter in your squad by 19% of Verina's attack power over 6 seconds. As a bonus, it increases the damage of all heroes in the team by 15%. The effect lasts for 30 seconds.
First, upgrade the resonance gauge associated with Photosynthesis Marks. Then focus on resonance liberation and the skill. Basic attacks and switching skills should be developed last.
Verina's Passive Skills
- Inherent Skill: Grace of Life. If a teammate receives a fatal injury, the heroine applies a shield to them that saves their life. It lasts for 10 seconds and has a durability of 120% of Verina's attack power. The effect can occur once every 10 minutes.
- Inherent Skill: Gift of Nature. If the heroine uses a heavy attack, mid-air strike, resonance, or outro skill, the damage of all allies in the squad increases by 20% for 20 seconds.
Verona's Resonance Chains
This is analogous to Constellations from Genshin Impact. These are powerful passive skills that significantly increase the heroine's effectiveness in battle. To unlock one Resonance Chain, you need to obtain Verona again through banners.
- Moment of Emergence. The outro skill automatically heals the next hero in the squad. For half a minute, once every 5 seconds, they will restore a portion of life force equal to 20% of Verona's attack power.
- Sprouting Reflections. The resonance skill adds 1 Photosynthesis Mark and restores 10 units of concert energy.
- The Choice to Flourish. The life force restoration from Photosynthesis Marks becomes 12% more effective.
- Blossoming Embrace. When Verona uses a resonance skill, outro skill, heavy attack, or mid-air strike, the spectro damage of all allies in the team increases by 15% for 20 seconds.
- Miraculous Blooms. Verona's healing becomes 20% more effective if a teammate has less than half of their life force.
- Joyous Harvest. If a plunging attack or heavy strike causes a Photosynthesis Mark to disappear, their damage increases by 20%.
We recommend choosing the first two chains first, as they are the most useful for Verona. Then take the fourth skill. The rest are optional as they are not as effective.
Best Weapons for Verina
Although Verina is a support heroine who heals allies and increases their damage, it's important to equip her with powerful weapons. This is because the effectiveness of her skills directly depends on her attack power. Also, pay attention to energy replenishment so that resonance skills can be used more frequently.
Variation. A four-star rectifier that deals 27-337 units of damage and has an energy replenishment bonus of 11.5-51.8%. The resonance skill restores 8-16 units of concert energy. This effect can occur once every 20 seconds.
An excellent option if you frequently use joint skills with other characters.
Rectifier#25. A four-star weapon with a base attack of 27-337 units and energy recovery of 11.5-51.8%. If the heroine has less than 60% life force during resonance, it will restore 5-10%. This effect can occur no more than once every 8 seconds. If Verina has more than 60% health, she will receive a damage bonus of 12-24% for 10 seconds.
This rectifier is suitable for those who want to increase the effectiveness of one character, their ability to restore life force, and increase the damage of allies.
Comet Flare. Possesses an attack of 33-412 units and increases the life force gauge by 6.8-30.4%. If a basic or heavy strike wounds an enemy, Verina's healing will be 3-5% more effective. This effect lasts for 8 seconds and can stack up to 3 times.
Increasing the health gauge for the heroine is unnecessary, but the healing bonus is very useful. However, to achieve this, you need to constantly attack enemies.
Best Echoes for Verina
Echoes are analogous to artifacts from Genshin Impact. They allow you to increase the heroine's stats and add unique abilities.
Moonlit Clouds
- 2 items: increase energy replenishment rate by 10%;
- 5 items: the outgoing skill increases the next character's damage by 22.5% for 15 seconds.
For this set to be effective, it's important that the next hero is the main attacker. Ideally, their skills should support not only Verina but also another support character.
Rejuvenating Glow
- 2 items: increase healing effectiveness by 10%;
- 5 items: after you restore health to teammates, the damage of all allies increases by 15% for 30 seconds.
An optimal option that will increase allies' damage and heal them more effectively. Suitable for those who rely on the attack power of several characters. If you have one hero focused on eliminating enemies, it's better to assemble the first set called Moonlit Clouds.
Moonlit Clouds + Rejuvenating Glow
- 2 items: increase healing effectiveness by 10%;
- 2 items: increase energy replenishment rate by 10%.
A compromise option that is less effective than the first two. You can use it until you assemble one of the full sets.
Active Echo — Bell-Borne Geochelone
Using this Echo deals Glacio damage in an area equal to 91.2-145.92% of attack power and activates a special defense mode. The attack power of enemies is reduced, but your strikes become 10% more effective. The effect lasts for 15 seconds, cooldown is 20 seconds.
Main Echo Parameters:
- Attack power;
- Healing effectiveness;
- Energy recovery rate.
How to Play as Verina
Start the battle with Verina's basic attacks and wait for the main attacker's incoming skill to recharge. Once this happens, use Echo, switch to the main character, and perform a series of attacks. Alternatively, you can use another support fighter's skills to pre-increase damage. Use Verina's skills when you need to restore allies' health. At the same time, you will increase the effectiveness of strikes and special moves.
Which Heroes Pair Well with Verina in a Team
Because Verina heals and increases attack power, she fits almost any character combination. Here, we will discuss the squads where the heroine's abilities are maximized.
1st Team Option
- Main Attacker: Encore, Lingyang, and the main hero of the Havoc element (R-Havoc);
- Support and Additional Damage Character: Yangyang or Sanhua;
- Healing and Damage Boosting Heroine: Verina.
With this approach, the damage you deal to enemies will be distributed between the first two characters. Verina should ideally be equipped with the Echo called Rejuvenating Glow.
2nd Squad Option
- Main Attacker: Jiyan;
- Support and Additional Damage Character: Mortefi or Aalto;
- Healing and Damage Boosting Heroine: Verina.
It's preferable to use Verina's skills first, then Aalto or Mortefi, and finally Jiyan. This way, you will wait for the opportunity to activate resonance and outgoing skills, while your team will continuously deal significant damage to enemies.
3rd Team Option
- Main Attacker: Chixia;
- Support and Additional Damage Character: Yuanwu or the main hero of the Spectro element (R-Spectro);
- Healing and Damage Boosting Heroine: Verina.
This character combination allows you to deal massive damage from a distance. The main hero will stun enemies and make them vulnerable to Chixia's devastating attacks. Alternatively, you can take Yuanwu and make her skills continuous. Verina will boost outgoing damage and can heal allies if necessary.
How to Get Verina in Your Team
But if you want to get resonance chains for her, you will need to obtain Verina again. Use specific banners. Among them are Character Permanent Convene: Tidal Chorus, Beginner's Choice Convene, and Novice Convene: Utterance of Marvels.
