CHOOSE THE RIGHT WEAPON! 5 Star Weapon Selector Guide | Wuthering Waves

you cannot imagine how much I despise thumbnail text like that so I got a parody them oh and apparently they click well anyway when reaching onion level 45 you get a free five-star weapon selector and whatever you end up choosing no your account is not run however we can still talk about which weapon is technically the best choice so let's go [Music] usual disclaimer all info is based on the cbt2 and if anything changes you will find a pin comment below besides that I can only provide calculations on a theoretical basis since I cannot know your specific team which resonate as you even have your equipment and investment the enemies you're facing team compositions or even how well you play in the first place so we will have two parts to this video the first part will just give you a teer list for the weapons and if you don't care and don't want to think for yourself you can stop watching after the next 10 seconds are over however if you do please leave me a like and a comment cuz that's how the YouTube algorithm Works in any case in the second part we will Dive In Depth into why I rank the weapons the way I did so here's the teer list got it cool you can stop watching now oh you you're still here oh great so before we can actually talk about the math behind all of that we have to talk about how the power of adversity works that is because I firmly believe all TI lists and meta takes will be based on this the higher floors require you to have three teams of well usually three resonators anyway you are able to switch their equipment in between floors as an example if you have been using Yin Lin on floor 2 you can take her repon and give it to for example Anor when using her on floor 3 this first and foremost means if you're able to have all or at least many of your main DPS using the same weapon type the most efficient choice for you is to just take set weapon type on the other hand this obviously also means always look at what you already have and what you need if you already have a level 90 R5 rectifier taking maybe a sword instead is the better choice for your account overall if you only have Yin Lin who actually uses rectifiers by all this yapping I basically just mean it is complicated however if you only care about selecting the statistical best weapon based on a rough DPS difference we can do some more about that so how do we go about that first we will divide all the current resonators in their respective weapon groups and then cover them one by one afterwards we will rank all characters DPS differences and can hence determine which weapon is technically and mathematically the best choice again technically and mathematically this means it is not necessarily the best choice for you your account in any given scenario this is very important to understand take this info I provide to learn and think for yourself don't just do what I or anyone for that matter tells you to do now go get a coffee your tea and let's start first the rule set we will not cover supports as they are really hard to evaluate keep this in mind as the higher floors in the tower of adversity are usually a single boss we will only look at single Target damage this will make resonators solely focused on a OE such as thean inherently worse keep that in mind as well when evaluating the data for yourself the Baseline weapons we will compare against will be the craftable ones due to the ease of exess as I already showed in my early game priority video you can watch that right here up in the top right hand corner you can expect to reach Union level 45 as a free toplay in about 1 month this means four scar kills and four drops from the bellor that makes eight of these materials in total and hence you can craft four of the craftable weapons that's not actually relevant to the comparison but keep that in mind on which weapons you already can possibly have I just wanted to tell you last but not least I will only compare damage delt differences not DPS differences that is because I do not have all frame counts for all characters and I do not yet know perfect theoretical rotations for all resonators and all scenarios this also means do not evaluate a resonator strength based on the numbers sh shown if I can inflict 1 million damage within one rotation but I need 10 minutes to do so I will fail the challenge hence those numbers are a reference point and do not reflect a resonator strength this is extremely important for you to understand for the S characters we have Roa sanua yangyang and D I don't really want to bore you by reading hundreds of numbers to you so here they all are in comparison the highest increase is dangin with around 42.5% res Rovers around 32% on average sword wielders gain 37% more damage for the broad blades we have Gian and cello highest is kadow with around 44% but Gian is not really far behind this leaves the average at 41.5% for our DPS Gauntlet wielders we kind of only have Yuan Wu and lingyang however Yuan Wu is death scaling and hence does not make much use of both weapons because they give attack hence we can also somewhat ignore him and jump straight to Ling Yan who will actually gain a massive 48% more damage from having abis surges that is massive for pistols mortify shixia and Alto are up next the problem here is simple Alto and mortify are both supportive and shixia is our only real DPS character however I did include them both anyway because static mist is also somewhat of a support of Ron because of its effect mortify has the highest gain with around 37% on average pistol wielders will gain 32% more damage and last but not least we have the rectifiers Anor and yenan I kind of feel like I have to emphasize again on how little damage dealt actually matters if you don't know the time it takes for that so is Anor good yes is she better than Yan Lin I don't know I can't tell you I don't have frame counts anyway for both string Master is a superior weapon so if you have or plan on getting string masterer Cosmic ripples loses a lot of value but the higher game has anchor with around 44% averaging at 40% for both that said let's now assess why I have made the teer list as it is let's start with C The Gauntlet abis surges don't get me wrong it is a fantastic weapon however it only is for lingyang as of right now so if you want to main this guy no not that one yeah this one it is a great choice you will just lose out on a lot of flexibility at least as right now given the large increases for both Tian and cadoo why did I place it in B any guesses pause the video now and leave me a comment on why you think that is okay here's the answer as of right now we have three broad blade users Gian Cado and T TTI is more of a support in giving her a five star DPS weapon is simply not worth it except if he's your Wu and you want to play DPS T then do whatever you one Dion is the first featured resonator and comes with his signature weapon which is simply better for him so if you actually care about giving him the best weapon take a signature kadow is one of the five possible standard characters which also means you first have to get him in the first place and he will likely get power cred relatively fast again I don't know your account or which characters you will have if you have both kado and Dion Take the broad blade it is a fine decision but again due to aforementioned reasons I placed it at B next up are the pistols the five-star pistols static Mist are both a great offensive weapon providing crit as well as a supportive weapon due to its effect and due to the lack of good offensive pistol DPS they are hence not given Justice on the sheet however they are still incredible on mortify they are quite fine on alto and also okay on Chia overall a fine Choice especially if you have Gian or another heavy attch based resonator which you want to play with more Alo however they are also not the best choice for DPS and that brings us to the rectifiers a tier now Cosmic ripples is a great choice for Anor and yinin and as I mentioned before you can easily exchange their weapons in between Tower floors however at the same time that is also one of the reasons why I put them in a instead of s there are currently only two DPS rectifier users and both prefer string Master over Cosmic ripples it is a great choice if you have either y l or anchor or both and do not have y Lin signature weapon but it loses a bit of value if you do and last but not least s tier the sword emerald of Genesis not only is it the only sword which offers crit rate it also provides energy Ron and attack percent and to top it off there are four resonators which you can give it to well DPS ones with three of them being available for free you gain a fine increase on damage on all characters and it can can be universally used on all of them also sword number 18 is except on dungeon a pretty trashy weapon to be honest which also means you are reliant on gcha or battle pass weapons such as luming gloss to fill that space so let's sum it up what can we learn from all of this in the end select a weapon which will fit the resonators you have on your account technically there are more sword users than non sort users so it is usually always a good choice since the wetman itself is good and it can be used on many resonators however if you are free to play really like Yan Lin and Anor and don't have string Master taking the rectifier is also fine the same thing applies for the broad blade in the end think for yourself don't blindly follow a tier list your account will not be ruined and you will get enough standard Banner ports to get another five star standard weapon over the course of the game anyway that
