Wuthering Waves Tier List (3.4) - Best DPS & Teams

Updated: June 11, 2026 | Based on Tower of Adversity, Hologram VI, and team synergy.

S-Tier A-Tier B-Tier

This tier list evaluates every Resonator based on their performance in Tower of Adversity (the primary endgame mode), Hologram VI boss challenges, and overall team synergy value. Rankings consider both damage output and utility - a support that enables top-tier DPS can rank higher than a selfish DPS with mediocre numbers. All rankings assume optimal builds and team compositions.

S-Tier - Meta Defining

These characters define the current meta. They have the highest damage ceilings, best team synergy, and can carry any account through the hardest content.

Jinhsi

Spectro Main DPS

Highest burst damage in the game. Incarnation state enables one-shot potential on elite enemies. Pairs perfectly with coordinated attackers like Yinlin.

Camellya

Havoc Main DPS

Exceptional AoE damage with self-sustain. Budding Mode makes her nearly unkillable in prolonged fights. Best paired with Roccia.

Shorekeeper

Spectro Support/Healer

Best universal support. Team-wide healing, damage amplification, and energy regeneration. Fits into literally any team composition.

Roccia

Havoc Sub-DPS

Best Havoc support with RES shred and grouping. Enables Camellya to reach her full potential. Strong off-field damage.

A-Tier - Excellent Performers

Strong characters that can clear all content reliably. Slightly lower ceiling than S-Tier or require more specific team setups.

Changli

Fusion Main DPS

Devastating single-target damage in True Sight state. High skill ceiling but extremely rewarding when mastered.

Xiangli Yao

Electro Main DPS

Excellent ranged DPS with summon mechanics. Team-wide ATK buff on Ultimate makes him valuable even as sub-DPS.

Zhezhi

Glacio Sub-DPS

Best Glacio support with off-field damage and grouping. Outro buff significantly boosts Glacio DPS characters.

Verina

Spectro Healer

Best F2P healer option. Consistent healing, ATK buffs, and easy to build. Perfect alternative if you lack Shorekeeper.

B-Tier - Solid & Viable

Can clear all content with proper investment. May need specific team compositions or higher skill to match A-Tier performance.

Brant

Fusion Main DPS

High burst with DEF scaling for survivability. Requires careful positioning in Anchor Mode.

Phoebe

Spectro Main DPS

Strong single-target Spectro DPS. Benefits greatly from double Spectro team synergy with Jinhsi.

Encore

Fusion Main DPS

High-risk, high-reward playstyle with escalating damage. Devastating when played optimally.

Sanhua

Glacio Sub-DPS

Excellent F2P sub-DPS with Basic Attack DMG buff. Great value for new players.
