Review
Please keep in mind Wuthering Waves is a skill-based game and each character has a different playstyle, difficulty level and even special tricks and combos. Wuthering Waves is also a team based game and it's only by combining both these factors to the highest level a character can reach optimal performance.
Able to function with premium teammates and without - has amazing F2P options which allow her to perform even without high vertical investment;
Functions well in both single-target and AoE situations;
Completely stops time during her second Ultimate, meaning you’re fully invulnerable during the cast;
Summons a REALLY cool blazing sun in the sky when casting her second Ultimate. How was that necessary??
Powercrept in all situations by Jingran (except against Fusion RES enemies) due to them fulfilling the same niche, using the same teammates, and having the same damage and weapon types;
Her Shields have next to no strength whatsoever, they only serve as a means to activate her Signature Weapon and Echo Set buffs and won’t actually protect from any meaningful damage;
Has no good Whimpering Wastes purple tokens available for her to use as a Shield character;
Outro is difficult to maneuver around in quickswap and poses a lot of restrictions, and while not impossible, forcing quickswap is quite tedious;
Augusta is a 5-star Electro Broadblade DPS whose focus is on dealing high Heavy Attack damage to enemies by activating a time-stop Ultimate stance where she attacks enemies in quick succession, dealing lots of damage in the blink of an eye. Much like her Electro element would suggest, in spite of wielding a heavy weapon class, Augusta is capable of unleashing many attacks in quick succession to tear down her enemies.
Let’s get the most important abilities of Augusta out of the way first: her 3 unique resources.
The first of which is Prowess: this is her first Forte gauge used to cast Enhanced Heavy Attacks and is obtained when most of her abilities deal damage.
The second is Ascendancy: this is her second Forte gauge restored via Basic Attacks, Intro skill, her first Ultimate and her base Resonance Skill. It allows her to cast an enhanced Resonance Skill to gain her final resource, Majesty.
Majesty has 2 points, 1 of which is acquired via her Outro and the other is acquired via an enhanced Resonance Skill with full Ascendancy. When 2 points are obtained, Augusta can unleash her second Ultimate for massive damage, ending her rotation.
Therefore, Augusta’s goal will be to maximize Prowess and Ascendancy generation in order to gain her Majesty stacks and finish it off with her second Ultimate.
Additionally, Augusta starts combat with 1 Majesty thanks to her second Inherent Skill which means she won’t have ramp-up issues due to lacking an Outro initially. Finally, her first Inherent Skill makes it so Augusta gains a shield for 5s every 0.5s every time she deals damage, to trigger her Echo set, Signature weapon buffs, and other shield generation-related effects.
Intro Skill
Augusta’s Intro makes her restore 20% Ascendancy and full Prowess so it’s definitely a must in her rotation. Aside from that, it simply deals damage and restores Concerto Energy like all other Intros.
Augusta’s Prowess mechanic allows her to use different Enhanced Heavy Attacks, triggered with different inputs. The most standard of both is the Backstep and Spinslash combo, which can either be performed by Heavy Attacking on the ground with full Prowess or executing a Dodge Counter with full Prowess. It deals good damage, but is slower than Uppercut, which is triggered by a jump with full Prowess. However, since it sends Augusta into the air, she will only use it if it can be cancelled by a Tune Break, her Forte Skill 3-part chain, or before swapping out.
Other than this, her base Resonance Skill restores full Prowess and her Intro Skill does also, which should be plenty in order to restore Ascendancy fully, provided her base Ultimate is used also - as it gives the 10% Ascendancy she’d be missing. It only requires using Ultimate with enough Resonance Energy, so make sure that condition is fulfilled by having enough Energy Regen. Additional Forte Heavies may be used in her combos through the use of regular Heavy Attacks, which generate about 60% of her Prowess gauge each and can be quickly cancelled by other inputs for quick Prowess generation. This may be utilized to extend her rotations and have her deal higher damage if your team can spare the rotation time.
Ascendancy is used in order to perform 3 Skills in quick succession, all being part of the same sequence. With full Ascendancy, Augusta may cast her 3-part Skill chain and restore her second Majesty stack needed for her final Ultimate.
By holding Ultimate with 2 stacks of Majesty, Augusta enters her Second Ultimate stance for 7s. Within this duration, time is stopped and she cannot switch out or do anything except walk, dodge, and finish her rotation with 9 swift Heavy Attacks (simply performed by spamming or holding Basic Attack), then use a finishing move by pressing Basic Attack again.
Finally, Augusta’s Outro Skill allows her to give 15% DMG Amplify to any character that she outros into, which lasts the usual 14s. It also restores 1 Majesty if that character performs their own Outro skill, and gives Augusta 15% Electro DMG Bonus for her next rotation, but be careful as all of these effects expire on swap - because of this mechanic, Augusta is much less compatible with quickswapping than most other characters as the character Augusta Outros into cannot be switched out of until they can cast their own Outro skill, since it would ruin Augusta’s Majesty stack generation, thus significantly slowing down her subsequent rotation.
In the current meta, Augusta is to say the least, powercrept. In terms of a Shielding, Heavy Attack damage dealer, the new best answer in that category is Jingran. Sure enough, Augusta uses all of Jingran’s teammates, just… worse than him. The only difference between the two is their element, which can make Augusta a slightly better idea if JIngran’s Fusion element is resisted by the enemies you’re trying to face. Even still, you can just choose to use Jingran against non-Fusion enemies and it barely ever becomes an issue.
Due to her lack of damage output and no other outstanding features compared to her competition, Augusta only serves as a niche DPS you’ll use in Endstate Matrix if you already own her, or if you skipped Jingran and have teammates available for her, or if she’s your best Electro DPS and endgame content currently favours her element. However, this doesn’t make her a good pull anymore - it just gives her decent use cases if you already own her.
In conclusion, Augusta’s direct competition with Jingran makes her questionable to pull from a meta standpoint as a new player, and we definitely don’t recommend her to beginners, since Jingran is a direct upgrade in her exact niche, particularly considering they share the same weapon type. Finally, she does remain viable and is still able to clear endgame contents, hence why she can be used if you already own her, however from a meta perspective, she is currently not a recommended pull.

The percentages show the performance of the weapon based on calculations, but in some cases, some weapons might provide additional QOL that can't be quantified and it would push that weapon ahead of others in the priority (and in those cases, we would put that weapon higher).

Augusta's best set bar none. Increases ATK and CRIT DMG by 6% and 4% for 4s respectively when a Shield is applied to the equipped character, stacking up to 5 times every 0.5s. This totals to 30% ATK and 20% CRIT DMG, which is the best set for Augusta in specific as she's the only character in the game who's able to fully stack up this effect.

All recommended endgame stats portray a fairly good quality endgame build as a goal to aim for on most characters. However, don’t treat this as an end-all-be-all, and more of a suggestion.
All stat recommendations are given at S0 for 5-stars, S6 for 4-stars, and free characters (unless specified otherwise), based on total stats in the in-game stat-screen with the character out of combat but also active in the party (and hence some buffs may or may not apply).

Gameplay and teams
Augusta’s rotation goal is to build up her Forte resources to cast her 3-skill chain and her second Ultimate. She may also extend her rotations in order to cast more Forte Heavy Attacks if her team has rotation time to spare. Below are all the ways to do so.
Her Echo, The False Sovereign, tends to be difficult to utilize in a lot of her rotations aside from her fastest one where it can be cast once. It may be used in quickswap, at the end of her rotation before swapping (if you aren’t swapping out of anything else), or not at all (since the automatic cast upon Intro deals most of its damage anyways).
This is Augusta’s fastest possible rotation that only uses 2 Forte Heavy Attacks. In most of her teams, rotating this quickly is not needed provided your rotations are optimized, but if your Ultimate cooldowns line up with this rotation, it should be privileged.

And resume from there for a rotation that’s about a second faster at the cost of some damage.
In Quickswap rotations, Augusta may execute Double Intro rotations for a quick way to generate Forte and deal some extra damage via an Uppercut Swap. This can allow for up to 5 Forte rotations (or quicker 4 Forte ones) and allow her to delay her Ultimate, in order to fully empower it with full Crown of Valor Echo set buffs, and animation cancel its endlag into her Second Ultimate for slightly quicker rotations and big backloaded damage output.
Additionally, her Echo can be cast in Quickswap if her Outro doesn’t get in the way (it usually does though). This can be a way to get around her sometimes steep Energy Regen requirements.
Iuno 
Lynae 
Rebecca 
Mortefi - These are the Outro buffers that pair best with Augusta. Iuno is the best by far due to her high personal damage and giving a whopping 90% DMG Amplification effect to Augusta in total, however Mortefi and Rebecca are close seconds in the Heavy DMG buffing department. Lynae may also prove more effective than those two in conjunction with Mornye as the extent of their generalist buffing potential is unparalleled.The Shorekeeper 
Verina 
Mornye - As the two best generalist Supports by heaps and bounds, it's no surprise Shorekeeper and Verina can slot in almost any team in the game as they provide high team-wide ATK% and 15% DMG Amplify. Shorekeeper additionally provides CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, always making her the best third slot teammate for Augusta teams, but Verina is a close, more accessible second provided Shorekeeper isn't available. Mornye may also see niche use cases alongside Lynae and Rebecca due to their synergy with Tune Rupture and Hack mechanics respectively.Team #1 - Best Team
Mornye is more niche in use, only consider her with Rebecca or Lynae on the team (for Hack and Tune Rupture synergies respectively).
