Encore Build Guide
RRTY:
5★
Character Overview
Encore, a consultant hailing from the Black Shores, is a vibrant and spirited individual who delights in sharing her tales of friendship and adventure through whimsical fantasy and fairy tales. Accompanying her are two loyal companions known as Woolies, who serve as her closest friends and guardians. Together with Cosmos and Cloudy, Encore embarks on exhilarating journeys that take them across the globe!
In Wuthering Waves, Encore is a 5 Stars Fusion character and uses Rectifier during the fight.
Character Mechanism
Encore is a 5-Star Fusion character in Wuthering Waves.
Among the permanent 5-star Fusion DPS characters, Encore enters an enhanced state and changes attack mode after activating Resonance Liberation. The main source of Encore’s damage comes from Basic Attacks after activating Resonance Liberation, not the Forte Circuit. Additionally, the cooldowns for Encore’s regular Resonance Skill and the enhanced Resonance Skill during Resonance Liberation are independent of each other.
In Encore’s damage output after activating Resonance Liberation, Basic Attack damage accounts for nearly 70%. Choosing Sanhua as a teammate can maximize her damage potential.
Pros
Encore’s damage multiplier in a single output cycle is comparable to Jiyan and Calcharo, making her an excellent DPS character.
Encore’s Dodge Counter after activating Resonance Liberation can directly link to Basic Attack 3, so even if the attack rhythm is interrupted by dodging, minimal damage is lost.
Cons
Encore’s Outro Skill deals AoE damage for 6 seconds, making it difficult to deal full damage when enemies are not controlled.
Although Encore’s output is considerable after activating Resonance Liberation, she is relatively weak in her normal state and cannot perform parrying.
Encore needs teammates to help replenish resonance energy or to manage downtime without Resonance Liberation.

Default equipping with Echo – Inferno Rider. After switching to Encore, use Echo Skill of Inferno Rider (remember to press three times to obtain the Fusion DMG buff and Basic Attack buff, then use Resonance Skill to get the Fusion DMG buff of Inherent Skill buff. Let’s start the burst.
Use Resonance Liberation to enter the burst state, use the enhanced Resonance Skill (note that the enhanced skill only has one stage of damage, no need to press twice), then Basic Attack*4, enhanced skill, Basic Attack*4, enhanced skill, immediately use Heavy Attack to self-destruct, then switch to the next character. Pay attention to below:
- As long as you use Heavy Attack before the Liberation state ends, it will be an enhanced self-destruct, even if the Liberation state has ended during the self-destruct.
- The Liberation state only lasts for 10 seconds, the timing is very tight, practice more, if necessary, skip one enhanced skill to use the enhanced self-destruct.
- You can switch teammates when she starts to lose control, don’t foolishly wait for her to self-destruct before switching.”

Character Team Comp
Sub DPS
Encore’s main damage type is Basic Attack. Sanhua’s Outro Skill can provide Basic Attack DMG Deepen, making her the best teammate for Encore.
Healer
Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.
Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.
Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.
