COMPLETE Encore Guide | Best Build, Weapons, Echoes & Teams | Wuthering Waves

Encore is part of the standard five stars and even though she is one of the strongest DPS at the moment of the game's release there's a lot of misinformation about her going around such as her being difficult to play Encore is a rectifier wielding Fusion DPS who exalts at dealing high amounts of damage during her ultimate window we will cover her kit her best weapons Echo and Echo sets her best teams her sequence notes and how to play her correctly let's go [Music] Encore has a four-part basic attack which can be extended to a fifth hit with woly strike while woolly does quite some damage you will rarely get to use this as her basic attacks outside her ultimate stands cannot actually Parry well aside from her plunge the key to successfully playing Encore is to minimize your fi time outside her ultimate window and effectively swap between your party members to Parry with them instead of Encore while generating enough energy to get back into her ultimate as soon as possible and her skill is what will help us achieve that her skill can be casted twice in succession generates around 15 energy and 20 concerto when done so is on a 10-second cooldown and Deals actually quite a bit of damage however as already mentioned her kit evolves around her ultimate and her resonance Liberation is where she becomes interesting with a cost of 125 energy and a 16 seconds cooldown the ultimate itself does not do any damage however it has you enter the cosmos raai stance for 10 seconds during which all of your abilities are transformed these 10 seconds are your main window of damage and getting your ultimate back as soon as possible is integral for successfully playing Ancor while her usually basic attacks are ranged and as already mentioned cannot Parry during Cosmos W she becomes comes mely and can actually start pairing her forte is built around a resource called dissonance doing basically anything you will accumulate dissonance and if you cost her heavy attack when you are at full dissonance Encore will cost either cloudy fry or Cosmic rupture you will likely never use this outside your ultimate as the cost time is incredibly long and even though it can be swap cancelled the damage dealt by Cosmic rupture is just that much higher in addition to the damage Encore also enters the cosmos dissonance state which reduces her damage taken by 70% however there is a catch which is not mentioned anywhere in her kit entering the dissonance state will actually exit her ultimate stance Cosmic rfe this means we always and only want to cost this right before Cosmic rfe ends however we will get back to that a little bit later our intro and outro skill are both damage centered and do exactly that heal damage her inherent skills angry Cosmos and Wooly's cheer dance Grant you basically 10% more damage bonus or Fusion damage bonus if you cost your resonance skill respectively knowing what her quit looks like and looking at the damage distribution we can see that we should definitely put all priority on basic attacks just kidding actually not really you will basically never actually use your normal basic attacks the damage dealt by her basic attacks are during her ultimate window which means leveling our resonance Liberation first and foremost will grant us the most damage and the final skill priority is Ultimate into skill into Forte into basic attack equals intro let's cover her Echoes Encore has the unfortunate problem of being Fusion that also means as of right now we do not really have a great Echo to choose from and are left with The Inferno Rider while he does some great damage well if he actually hits and grants you 12% fusion and basic attack damage bonus his animation takes quite a while and it cannot really be effectively cancelled this means we are locked into a 2.8c animation of basically looking cool this lowers her DPS substantially but we need the resonance Liberation energy and coner energy generated from The Inferno Rider technically speaking the geoide San is another option I want to to bring up and while it makes her game play smoother you will need to change your rotation slightly and incorporate two additional basic attacks to make up for them for her set a five piece molten Rift is her best on slot but depending on your available sub and main stats mix matching a two-piece molten Rift and two-piece lingering Tunes is another great option only costing you around 8 to 9% DPS but again that is only if all your sub and main stats would be the exact same the five piece lingering Tunes is another option however it would also require you to either use the mech Abomination or the flwest and Stat of The Inferno Rider which is a further DPS let's cover the stats for her main stats crit rate on her forecast Echo is the best option followed by crit damage attack percent is quite a DPS loss however better than none for the three cost Echo double Fusion is her best on slot but mix matching fusion and attack percent or even double attack percent are POS possible even though you might lose out on a little bit of damage Encore has an energy regeneration requirement of around 10 to 25% depending on your team you can easily cover this with one to three subet rols and again depending on your team you might need a little bit more or a little bit less until then our substep priority will be energy regeneration until around 10 to 25% into crit rate SL crit damage into attack percent into basic attack damage percent and lastly flat attack for her weapon if you happen to get your hands on Yan Lin's signature and don't have Yan Lin or get the weapon twice string Master is her best in slot by about 17 to 20% depending on your stats Cosmic ripples is her next best followed by the battle pass weapon augment if you are really starved on four stars rectifiers or don't have a five star one an R5 rectifier of Knight will also do a fine job although at this point you are already losing out on about 25% damage adding everything up these are the final endgame stat goals I personally would recommend that said let's have a look at her sequences her sequences overall are not the greatest and you can expect damage increase of around 25 to 30% going from s0 to S6 our most standout sequence notes are S3 S4 and S6 S3 increases the damage dealt by her resonance Liberation Cosmos rupture you know that for second Channel or S4 is a team wide 30 second long 20% Fusion damage buff whenever you do cost set rupture and her S6 gives her a stacking attack percent buff on auto attacks out of these her best sequence is her S4 as it not only applies to her but to the entire team having all that covered we can now finally dive into her rotation our main window of damage is during her ultimate and the rotation does reflect that as well starting off we go intro into Echo into a single cast of her skill flaming rolies into her ultimate casting her ultimate doeses actually replace her skill and hence also resets the cool down now we can continue with another skill cast Cosmos Rampage into four basics into another skill into four more Basics into another quick skill cost and we do end the rotation with her Ford rupture which we Channel by casting her heavy attack while being at full dissonance it is very important that you do swap cancel the rupture as she will continue channeling for quite a while and hence slightly delays the damage dealt by the rupture the time window for this rotation is actually very tight and it is not necessarily realistic to follow this exec rotation all the time if you need to save time for example because you did a Dodge you can sacrifice the last fourth basic attack as long as you get to cast her forter while she's still in her Cosmos raave again that does not ultimate stance now you spend around 4 seconds on your support or hybrid carry and switch back to Encore for a double car skill switch her out again directly after that and spend the remaining 10 seconds on your other party members again as soon as you can re-enter with your intro skill for Encore you switch her in go for a double cast of her skill and repeat the ultimate rotation well except for the initial skill cast since you just used it now twice instead however I can see this rotation being being a little bit difficult to pull off especially for more casual players in that case you can sacrifice some damage for more ER on your sub stats around 20% more would allow you to sacrifice one double skill cost another option would be to use yangyang as an energy funnel and speaking of that we can actually start and cover the teams fortunately there aren't many great teams for Encore right now her best team is likely with sanua and Arina arena for obvious reasons as she is a very generic support which can be used in every team sanua grants her 38% basic attack damage deepen the buff from the moonlet cloud five piece and from the impermanent Haron granting her a total damage increase of around 30% if you happen to have your hands on a sequence six Ana and add forina to the mix we end up at a total damage gain of around 80% and if you really like chick and you do also have her S6 as well as the static M weapon on her you could also use chicker instead of salua however the total damage gain is around 20% lower than what SWA would provide as we are really tight on possible teammates for her Rover is another possible option as is yangyang however please keep in mind none of these are actually really good as her teammates but we kind of want to work with what Kuro gave us not like we have a choice anyway at least at the the time of release yangyang does have the advantage of being able to funnel energy to Encore which allows her to skip all of her ER requirements or you can skip a double cast instead a possible rotation with yangyang support would be full Encore ultimate rotation into yyang rotation then outro back into Encore double cast your skill switch to sanua do your full sanua combo into outro back into Encore and repeat Encore is unfortunately a unit which will need a good future hybrid resonator for Fusion basic attack based DPS characters to buff her while also being able to fill her 10-second downtime in between skill casts until then her team options will be a little bit limited however in the end play whoever you like you do not have to abide by meta or whatever or the best teams and you know just enjoy and have fun that all being said thank you so much for watching don't forget to leave a
