CHOOSE THE RIGHT 5-STAR! Which Free 5-Star Is Right For You? 5-Star Selector Guide | Wuthering Waves

weathering waves is giving us a choice of a five-star standard character that we will get guaranteed in our first 80 pulls on The Beginner's Choice Banner we're also apparently getting another three five star of our choice through the mail as an apology for some bugs which is great and so because of this let's talk about all of the five stars what they do and which one you should choose for your guaranteed five star in this video summing up my thoughts on all of the five stars helping you decide who to choose lastly I want to mention that the background footage of this video does come from a test server so keep in mind that things may be different for the official live version and I will be trying to review characters kits and give you guys a general idea of what they do what they excel at what they're weak at as well as talk about their power level overall mostly statements regarding how they work how they play and what they provide you with that you can get a better idea of who is right for you even if some exact details change from patch to patch like notably how since the second closed beta test the developers did say that they wanted to look into modifying two of the five stars Jan shin and lingyang but more on that a bit later and with that said let's get right into it for the first character we have to talk about it is Vina Verina is an absolutely broken support character she's a healing support character and there honestly are not a lot of supports or healers in this game right now she can give you healing doesn't need to spend too much time on field and also gives you a ton of Buffs she can have a sort of follow-up attack alongside your active character gives all of your party attack and damage Buffs and also has good party-wide healing your outro skill is great and as I said she does not need to spend a lot of time on field acting as a very efficient support character you can run her with so many different characters and I think that as of right now because weaing waves on release doesn't have that many really strong support characters Verina is a five star that's going to be of high priority on many accounts in my opinion for a long time because of how efficient she is overall and also the fact that you need three teams for some content meaning that even if they release future support characters Vina should still be really good because of this I can almost always recommend her if you're a fan of support characters her gameplay or just really care about meta next up we have Karo calaro is really cool for many reasons first of all Sethro but more importantly he's an electro main DPS that does a lot of damage he's a solid standard Banner main DPS character who also synergizes really well with yinlin but more on that in a future video when she's actually released what you need to understand about Karo is that he's a character who deals a huge amount of his damage after using his resonance Liberation his ultimate where you're attacks will be enhanced and you'll deal a lot of damage spending a lot of time on calaro as a sort of onfield hper carry and it will also buff his next intro skill when you swap back into him now something you need to keep in mind with this character is that he does a ton of damage after using his ultimate you have a fixed amount of time to do all this damage where you have to be on field with him focusing enemies down and things can go wrong like you need to execute his combos enemies can run away bosses can knock you back if you get hit but for the most part a ton of damage inside of this window is good very satisfying very strong and also has room to show off your skill if you can pull off the Combos and not make mistakes even if you're just mashing ing your left Mouse button you can get a lot of value out of calaro inside of his ultimate as a very strong carry in my experience that I would be happy to recommend I also want to point out that while Karo did get nerfed since the second Clos beta I'm actually recording this after the game's already out since this video got delayed anyways he just kind of was overtuned but now he still remains a solid and good DPS option on top of having a very fun and unique play style as shown previously next up we have another DPS character with Encore Encore is a really cool character in my opinion who does a very unique way of dealing damage she starts out as a range character at a baseline dealing damage from afar and then with her ultimate we'll start dealing a significant amount more damage having a very powerful alt that will turn her into a melee carry she has really fun combos that are pretty easy to use in my experience you can kind of OAB boonga and get a lot of value out of her but there are also some rooms for optimization for example something you need to be aware of is that her charge attack or heavy attack with her forte circuit can do a huge amount of burst damage but the animation is super long you can get a lot of value out of this by animation cancelling or swapping out once the animation starts where Encore will kind of stay there doing her little thing as you swap out into another character and are able to DPS on them while the animation happens while I said she's somewhat straightforward to play there are some things you need to be mindful of like it being very difficult to Parry with her outside of her ultimate for the most part though she has really solid damage and does a ton more inside of her ultimate is a character that I find really cool very fun to play and also I like her little sheep puppet things I think they're really really cute all right now moving on we have two very unique characters with janin and lingyang first of all for janin she is very much a jack of all traits in the sense that she kind of does a bit of everything she's an on fielder who can build up Shields as she does a heavy attack with this Shield getting better and gaining more effects the longer you hold for heavy attack it's a long and somewhat clunky animation but it will make you tankier and then the shield will persist and heal your active character for either e Jen Shin or someone else if you choose to swap additionally her skill has a Parry where she won't take damage and will unleash a counter hit if you hold her skill and then get hit her ultimate is a form of grouping essentially the best one we have right now that can group a lot of enemies efficiently with this sort of Vortex notably being good against light and displaceable enemies against bosses or like Elite heavy enemies this won't work so keep that in mind it won't really help that much but you can be really good in AOE situations against a lot of light and displaceable enemies additionally it's worth pointing out that she does give you an ultimate buff on her outro skill to the next character you swap into who will gain 38% res Liberation damage for a set amount of time or until they swap personally I think this going to be one of the main ways to play her alongside her Shield grouping and this big buff on her outro skill giving her a supportive role that fits the quick swappy style of this game spending some time on her doing damage getting a big Shield grouping enemies and then buffing your next character's alt damage making this character have in my opinion a lot of untapped potential if she's someone that you like not a must by any means but a solid choice if you like the character character lastly we have Ling yang this is actually the first five star character I got in the closed beta of weathering waves and I actually used him as a main DPS for a decent amount of content lingang is a character that acts as a hyper carry he has a very unique play style where he will jump in the air and kind of stay there float in the air and do a bunch of punches and kicks attacking really fast allowing him to do a ton of damage to enemies in his very unique lion dance state which is unlike any other character lingang can be good at dpsing down a boss or an enemy that you can knock up and if you enjoy his unique play style then I think he can be a good choice for you now with that in mind I want to say that how much DPS he can actually do how good or bad he is will depend on a lot of things especially because he is effectively Airborne a lot of the times and things can be weird when that happens it's a really unique play style that I think is very fun and interesting but it can be hard to like catch up to enemies sometimes or enemies can have weird hit boxes or sometimes I notic getting stuck in animations without really understanding why even after playing this character for multiple hours now this can be a skill issue I'm not blaming the character just keep in mind that there's a lot of Unique Mechanics and it's a very different gameplay when you're using him as in his lion dance State he's effectively in the air running around dealing fast inance of damage and being a character that you usually want to spend a lot of time on as a main carry his DPS can range from fine to good depending on how optimally you can use him and I am inclined to believe that he will feel smoother in the live version of the game but at least as far as the general consensus goes he's not as recommended of a pick as the other DPSS namely calaro or Encore his play sty is very unique he's fun and can still clear content and since launch again future Z here I genuinely have found that he feels less clunky and more satisfying to play but I can't tell if I just got better at the game and more use to his mechanics although a big part of me thinks that they did do some improvements here and he genuinely does feel more fluid more smooth still some clunkiness can happen but I found less of it although I could use some other people's testimonies here for confirmation and so overall what is the consensus obviously as I said at the start you should first of all choose who you like if there's a character that you either want to main use as your main DPS or even as a support someone you just really like and want on your account or someone whose play style suits you either appearance visuals animations or gameplay is something that you think you'll enjoy then I think that's what you should go for now obviously that's a almost cowardly answer I know you want me to just tell you a character a lot of the times but before I get there just understand that if there's a character for you where you really like them and you'll get more enjoyment out of them then there's no reason not to pick them because obviously getting more enjoyment out of the game is very important now as far as my recommendations while things may change for now what seems to be the case is that Vina is absolutely broken she's a support that I highly recommend if you want a support character SL A Healer on your account if you already got her in the beginner PS or if you want a DPS to carry you through the game then either calaro or Encore would be my recommendations they're both a bit different calaro is more popular and synergizes well with with yinin he's a top recommendation in my opinion for DPSS but Encore also has unique gameplay and is very strong if used correctly as well and I don't think she's that hard to use just animation cancel her heavy attack and try not to get hit because paing on her can be annoying regarding Jan shin and lingyang these are characters where it's if you like them pick them if not maybe with Jan Shin in particular she kind of does a little bit of everything she can be your one man or one woman Army tanking parrying shielding grouping and also spending time on field her animations can be a bit clunky I think there's a lot lot of potential I think a lot of people are going to use her and clear content with her solo while also being a good support to add to your roster to make you tankier and give you a buff through her outro skill on a similar note lingyang is a solid DPS I don't think he's as generalistic as the other ones that I mentioned I personally would choose calaro or enor or first but lingyang has very unique gameplay so if you like him and want to master him then feel free again keep in mind that things may change I will update a pin comment if there's new things I want to add if this video helped I would love it if you liked and subscribed then be sure to come check me live on Twitch as will be streaming the game when it's out for quite some time thanks so much for watching I hope you enjoyed and as always I'll catch you guys in the next one peace
