Review

Mini-review

Verina is a 5-star Spectro Rectifier wielder Support that brings a wide array of buffs and healing utilities for her teammates, making her an indispensable member regardless of your team composition. Contrary to other supports, Verina’s buffs are applied to all of her teammates simultaneously. On top of this, they’re not only easy to trigger, but can also maintain their uptime almost indefinitely. She also has an impressive cheat death mechanic with her Inherent Skill - Grace of Life which can save you in a pinch.

Her Forte Gauge relies on charge mechanics, allowing her to accumulate up to 4 Photosynthesis Energy charges. These are gained by hitting an enemy with either the 5th part of her Basic Attack, her Intro skill or her Resonance skill. She can then expend these charges to enhance her Mid-Air Attacks or Heavy Attacks, allowing them to heal all allies for a considerable amount while also generating significant amounts of Concerto Energy, which is essential to maximize her supportive capabilities.

Her Resonance Skill, which deals a mediocre amount of Spectro damage in a range, generates both 30 Concerto Energy and a considerable amount of Resonance Energy. Plus as an added bonus, utilising her Resonance Skill is one of the two easiest and fastest methods for her to generate charges for her Forte Gauge.

Similar to her Resonance Skill, her Ultimate’s damage is nothing to write home about, however it does heal all her allies whilst marking the enemies hit by it with Photosynthesis Mark for 12 seconds. This allows allies attacking marked enemies to trigger an additional attack by Verina for slight damage as well as some healing.

Verina requires minimal time on the field; only enough to conduct her heals, maintain uptime of her buffs and generate the required Concerto Energy for her outro. Despite that, she features not only the best healing capabilities, but also access to a wide array of buffs unmatched by other characters. Combined with her extreme easy to play and master skill set, which only requires managing her Resonance Skill cooldown and Forte Gauge charges, Verina can make combat incredibly forgiving for her teammates, allowing them to take hits without any major concern.

In addition to her healing capabilities, Verina brings unmatched 15% Generic Damage amplification on her Outro Skill, which affects her entire team and lingers even after switching characters - an extremely rare trait among various Outro amplifications present in the game. If all that was not enough, she grants a whopping 20% ATK boost to all characters on the team for 20 seconds whenever she heals! Adding Echo & sets to the mix, Verina prefers a combination of Bell-Borne Geochelone Echo & 5P Rejuvenating Glow set which allows her to grant a semi-permanent ATK% boost, temporary DMG% boost and protection from a set number of attacks. In the instance another character is using the above set, Verina can make use of the 5P Moonlit Glow and Impermanence Heron Echo combo instead.

Overall, Verina is currently one of the most powerful characters in endgame owing to her unmatched Sustain and Support capabilities. This plus her ease of play and low field time requirement makes her stand head and shoulders above her peers in the same role, cementing her place as best Sustain and Support in the game.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Strong team-wide heals and buffs

  • One of the best Outros in the game, granting every unit 15% DMG Amplification

  • Can effortlessly enable the 5P Healer set bonus without sacrificing her weapon choice

  • Takes very little field time given her immense benefits

  • Easy to use, understand, and play

  • Cheat death mechanic

  • Is the best Support in every single team in the game currently

Cons

  • Intro causes her to enter in the air, delaying the use of her Echo, Ultimate and Resonance Skill, sometimes limiting her options

Ratings

This tier list assesses characters based on their combat potential in Wuthering Waves current most demanding content Tower of Adversity (ToA). ToA is a mode similar to Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss or Honkai Star Rail’s Memory of Chaos and requires multiple teams, strong Echoes and good Weapons. This mode offers a reasonable mix of Boss encounters (single target), Elite packs (2-3 targets) and AoE scenarios (5+ Targets), allowing multiple characters to find a niche but in the end, there's a bias toward single target focused characters at the top-end.

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.

Best Weapons

1

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 337 | Energy Reg.: 51.8%

A utility-focused weapon prioritizing lightning-fast Concerto rotations over raw output with the ability to transform entire units' action priorities under the right circumstances. Not always a good choice but when implemented correctly makes all the difference. Also offers an immense amount of Energy Regen further accelerating rotations and supportive capabilities.

2

Stats at Level 90: ATK: 300 | Energy Reg.: 32.3%

An easily accessible supportive option with a reasonable amount of Energy Regen. It also grants the unique ability to gain a sizable chunk of raw Resonance Energy once every 20 seconds. For most character's rotations in teams, this bonus will be ready every time it's their turn to switch-in, making this weapon a great choice for any character who doesn't need damage but needs their Ultimate fast and has trouble accessing it otherwise. The flat energy gain is more powerful the less energy the character and team they are a part of can generate.

Best Echo Sets

2 Set: Healing increases by 10%.

5 Set: Upon healing allies, increase ATK of the entire team by 15%, lasting 30s.

Best Main Echoes

Echoes in Wuthering Waves are an essential part of the character rotations, granting a large amount of Resonance Energy and damage but at the cost of high field time for the most powerful ones. But by using some Echoes right before you're about to switch out on the character, you're able to move to your next character while your previous one is still in the echo animation - it’s what we call an Echo Swap Cancel.

Echo Swap Cancel is almost always the optimal way to use Echoes, and will result in big reductions in character field time and large increases to DPS, but not all of the most powerful Echoes can be swap cancelled in this way. For example, the Feilian Beringal (Aero), Dreamless (Havoc), Tempest Mephis (Electro), Mourning Aix (Spectro), and Infernal Rider (Fusion) Echoes can all be Swap Cancelled.

The remaining element, so Glacio while having powerful Echoes has none powerful enough that can be swap cancelled, and to make things worse, no Echoes that generate sufficient Energy and damage for their field time investment.

The result of this is that you can expect Glacio characters to have higher field time and lower DPS in calculations than their other elemental counter parts until they receive better Echoes to use.

Set

Rejuvenating Glow

This Echo is an essential asset that almost every team in the game aims to include thanks to its excellent offensive and defensive benefits. The reason for this is the excellent 10% DMG boost it provides throughout its duration but also 50% damage reduction barrier it provides as well. The only catch these buffs have is that they only last for 3 hits meaning after you've taken them you'll lose the buff until you can re-apply it again - even so almost every team aims to have 1 user of this echo. Almost always the main echo of choice for users of the 5P Rejuvenating Glow set.

Best Endgame Stats (Level 90)

Important! CRIT DMG has base value of 150% and Energy Regen has a base value of 100% when you check them in game. The recommended values below don't include the base value but rather show how much on top of it you need to obtain.

  • HP: 18000+

  • DEF: 1000+

  • Energy Regen: 70-90%+

    • Verina generates a reasonable amount of resonance energy of her own but has an ultimate that costs a staggering 175 energy meaning she relies on the team-wide 50% energy share and a large amount of ER to gain her ultimate in a timely manner.

    • Verina's Ultimate is important for Concerto generation and also has excellent team healing benefits making it worth building around.

    • To ensure the ultimate is available in a timely manner we recommend as much ER as possible on Verina with 70-90% being a comfortable amount.

ROTATION INFO

When playing Verina focus on achieving the following in combat:

  • Whenever Verina's Resonance skill is available use it as soon as possible - unless doing so interrupts the burst combo or cooldowns of another character.
  • Use Verina's ultimate as frequently as possible unless saving it for its healing purposes.
  • Use Verina's echo as frequently as possible unless saving it for use right before a burst combo.
  • Utilize Verina's Forte Gauge charges when you need to generate Concerto energy fast. Heavy attacks generate the most concerto energy but you can use Aerial Attacks instead if you are trying to dump charges quickly to generate Concerto fast.
  • Ensure you trigger a heal from Verina at least once every 20 seconds to keep her ATK% boost active throughout combat, especially before any of your main damaging combos or cooldowns. This can easily be done by spending a charge of her Forte Gauge, triggering her outro or using her ultimate.
