Encore

Encore is the best free-to-play friendly Fusion carry. She builds Cosmos energy through her kit, then enters an enhanced state for high AoE Fusion damage, making her a low-investment carry that scales well.

How to Play

Run Encore with a Fusion buffer and sustain, build into her enhanced state, and unload her Liberation. The premier 4-star DPS on the Wuthering Waves tier list.

Best Build

Weapons: Stringmaster (Rectifier), Cosmic Ripples, Augment. Echo Set: Molten Rift (5-piece Fusion set). Main Echo: Inferno Rider (4-cost). Main Stats: 4-cost Crit Rate/Crit DMG / 3-cost Fusion DMG (x2) / 1-cost ATK% (x2). Substats: Crit Rate > Crit DMG > ATK% > Energy Regen > Basic ATK DMG.

Best Teams

Fusion Hypercarry: Encore + Sanhua (Basic ATK Outro) + Verina. Buffed line: swap Verina for Shorekeeper for higher Crit.

Kit Overview

• Resonance Skill feeds her Cute Bumps/Cosmos stacks that power up her empowered attacks.
• Resonance Liberation enters Cosmos Rage, a long Fusion burst of rapid Basic attacks.
• On-field Basic-attack hypercarry that loves Basic ATK Outro buffers and a healer.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Accessible 4-star DPS; strong AoE Fusion burst; easy to obtain. Cons: Long on-field time; needs Sequences and good supports to keep pace with 5-stars.
