Check out these Wuthering Waves Calcharo builds if you’re looking to kit out the Electro-focused broadblade brandisher to power through the game.
On a seemingly never-ending pursuit for revenge, this ruthless mercenary with an army of near do wells at his disposal knows how to pack a punch, bringing hard-hitting, thunderous swings down on his foes at a moment’s notice.
The best build for Calcharo
Here’s a brief look at how to build Calcharo as your main damage dealer:
- Stat Priority: Crit%/DMG, ATK%, Resonance Liberation
- Weapon: Autmntrace, Verdant Summit
- Echo set: Void Thunder (5-set)
- Echo: Tempest Mephis
- Pair with: Sanhua/Yinlin/Jianxin, and Verina/Baizhu
Stat priority for Calcharo
When focusing on Calcharo’s Electro damage potential, you’re better off looking for Resonance Liberation DMG sub-stats.
The usual Crit combo and ATK% will always be preferred, as they are for any primary damage dealer for versatility, but Liberation Damage is worth keeping if that’s what you happen to roll.
Best weapons for Calcharo
Calcharo mirrors Jiyan when it comes to the best weapon for his kit. In a rare occurrence, the more readily-available Autumntrace is a slightly better pick over the five-star Verdant Summit. Lustrous Razer sits somewhere in between, with Helios Cleaver being viable as well.
The reason for Autumntrace is simple: it offers a stacking ATK% buff after each Basic/Heavy Attack. With Calcharo’s damage coming from these Electro-infused blows primarily, it makes sense to focus resources on the weapon with the fastest return on investment.
Best Sonata set for Calcharo
Main DPS
Calcharo can make wonderful use of the the Electro element, sending crackling thunder flowing through foes with each swing of his broadblade.
To help, the Void Thunder five-piece set unequivocally the one to grab. Not only does it increase Electro DMG with just two Echoes, but you can get another 30% boost to that after just two heavy attacks with five Echoes equipped.
Best Echo for Calcharo
Tempest Mephis is the best Echo to pick for Calcharo when running the Void Thunder set. Why? Because each hit of this spectre increases both Electro DMG and Heavy Attack DMG by a sizable amount. Calcharo can put both increases to great use.
Best team comps for Calcharo
As a primary DPS option, Calcharo pairs brilliantly with Resonators like Jianxin, Yinlin, and Sanhua. The last is an easier option given her lower rarity, and she won’t drop off as quickly as you’d expect if you do happen to pull one of the other two picks.
For these support role, it’s a similar situation. Baizhi is more readily available, but Verina will stand to offer just a little bit more protection.
We’ll be adding to this Calcharo build as Wuthering Waves continues to mature. There aren’t many other ways to build this hard-hitting hunk, but you can switch it up with a mix of Echo sets we’ll detail at a later date. Get using these Wuthering Waves codes to pull him.
