Best Calcharo Wuthering Waves build guide: Weapons, Echo, teams & more Kuro GamesAre you looking to get Calcharo in your beginner banner from Wuthering Waves? Here\u2019s a detailed build guide for the unit featuring his abilities, best Echo, weapons, and team comp. Wuthering Waves version 1.0 has provided players with several free rewards, including the option to obtain a standard 5-star for free. There are a total of 5 standard 5-stars and Calcharo is the best DPS option among them. While Jiyan is indeed the most powerful 5-star right now, some players are skipping him for Yinlin. If you\u2019re one of those, Calcharo is the best choice in the early game and has great synergy with Yinlin. If you pick Calcharo from the free 5-star option, here\u2019s everything you need to know about him. Who is Calcharo in Wuthering Waves? Calcharo is the leader of the Ghost Hounds in Wuthering Waves. He\u2019s lethal and dangerous, even though he has a stoic personality. One thing that Calcharo respects the most is control. He handles everything with an Iron Fist and leaves no room for mercy or affection. He\u2019s the single biggest reason for the glory of the Ghost Hounds.

You can find a rundown of them all below: Verdant Summit This is the featured 5-star weapon that you can pull from the Absolute Pulsation banner. This Broadblade has high Base ATK and CRIT DMG substat. Additionally, it boosts the DMG bonus of Resonance Attributes by 12%. Upon using Liberation Skill or Intro Skill, it further increases Heavy ATK DMG by 24% and stacks for 2 times. Since Calcharo relies on Heavy Attacks, this weapon will function exceptionally well for him. The CRIT DMG stat will also come in handy while building Calcharo. Lustrous Razer This is the 5-star Broadblade you can get from the Standard weapon banner. This weapon boasts decent Base ATK and has an ATK% substat. It increases the Energy Regeneration of units by 12.8%. Additionally, upon using Resonance Skill, the damage of Resonance Liberation is increased by 7%. This effect can stack up to 2 times. While the weapon is quite good with the excess ATK, a lack of Crit stats will mean your Echoes need to be really good as well. The Energy Regeneration will help you to spam your abilities, making rotations faster. However, the biggest advantage of Lustrous Razer is you can pick it up for free upon reaching Union Level 45. Autumntrace This is a 4-star weapon you get from the Battle Pass in Wuthering Waves. This weapon boasts good Base ATK and features a Crit Rate substat. Additionally, upon dealing Basic or Heavy ATK, it increases the DMG output by 4% up to 5 times. This effect lasts for 7 seconds and can be triggered every 1 second. This Broadblade is amazing on Calcharo as both the substat and the passive skill will enhance his DMG output significantly. In fact, it\u2019s a lot better than Lustrous Razer. Best Echo and Sonata Effect for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves Calcharo is an Electro unit and requires Echoes that will boost his elemental damage massively. The best Echo and Sonata Effect for Calcharo has been listed below. Echo The best Echo for Calcharo is Thundering Mephis. This Echo upon being summoned deals massive Electro DMG to enemies. Additionally, it also boosts Calcharo\u2019s Electro DMG and Resonance Liberation DMG. You might be wondering why Tempest Mephis should not be used. The reason is that Calcharo\u2019s Resonance Liberation is a powerhouse boosted by Thundering Mephis. Additionally, the Sonata effect for Thundering Mephis has Heavy Attack scaling. Hence it covers both areas as opposed to Tempest Memphis. Sonata Effect The best Sonata Effect for Calcharo is Void Thunder. The set bonus is as follows: Echo stats The Echo stats you need to focus on for Calcharo are as follows: Calcharo ascension and Forte level-up materials in Wuthering Waves Calcharo ascension materials Calcharo needs Crude Ring, Basic Ring, Improved Ring, Tailored Ring, Thundering Tacet Core, and Iris to ascend in Wuthering Waves. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Crude Ring x4 – Basic Ring x12 – Improved Ring x12 – Tailored Ring x4 – Thundering Tacet Core x46 – Iris x60 – Where to farm Calcharo ascension materials in Wuthering Waves Crude Ring and its upgrades Crude Ring and its upgrades are dropped by the Exile Enemies in Wuthering Waves. You can locate these enemies by clicking on the item and then the enemy\u2019s name. The game will automatically navigate you to the necessary locations. Thundering Tacet Core Thundering Tacet Core is dropped by the Thundering Mephis boss. This boss can be found in Withering Frontline in the middle of the Desrock Highlands. Iris Iris is found in abundance all over the Whining Aix\u2019s Mire region in Wuthering Waves. It\u2019s located near the Fallen Grave and Waving Battlefield. Calcharo Forte level-up materials The materials you need to level up Calcharo\u2019s Forte are Waveworn Residue 210 and its upgrades, Crude Ring and its upgrades, and Monument Bell. The exact number of materials you need are as follows: Crude Ring x25 – Basic Ring x28 – Improved Ring x40 – Tailored Ring x57 – Waveworn Residue 210 x25 – Waveworn Residue 226 x28 – Waveworn Residue 235 x55 – Wavework Residue 239 x67 – Monument Bell x26 – Where to farm Calcharo Forte level-up materials Waveworn Residue 210 and its upgrades Waveworn Residue 210 and its upgrades can be farmed from Forgery Challenge: Eroded Ruins near Tiger\u2019s Maw Mine. Monument Bell Monument Bell is a drop from the boss Bell-Borne Geochelone. This is a weekly boss which means you can farm it for a maximum of three times per week. Calcharo Forte and Resonance Chain priority in Wuthering Waves Forte priority The Forte skills you should be focusing for Calcharo are as follows: Resonance Liberation- Highest priority – Forte Circuit- Highest Priority – Resonance Skill- Mid Priority – Intro Skill- Low Priority – Basic ATK- Low Priority – Resonance Chain priority The Resonance Chain you should focus on for Calcharo if you plan to spend money is as follows: Sequence 3 – Sequence 4 – Sequence 6 – Calcharo pros and cons in Wuthering Waves The pros and cons of Calcharo are as follows: Should you pull for Calcharo in Wuthering Waves? Yes, Calcharo is worth pulling in Wuthering Waves. This is because, irrespective of whether you get Jiyan or not, Calcharo is a really strong DPS unit. One of the biggest advantages of Calcharo is that he will have a dedicated support once Yinlin is available. This will make him one of the strongest characters in the game. Jiyan doesn\u2019t have that luxury for now. Apart from that, you can get him for free either from the free ticket or from the 50 pulls banner. If you do not get him in either, you can still target him from the Beginner\u2019s Choice Convene and get him after 80 pulls. Being a standard banner character makes Calcharo easily accessible which is always beneficial in a brand-new gacha game. Best Calcharo team comp in Wuthering Waves There are two different teams that function exceptionally well with Calcharo. Team 1: Calcharo, Yinlin, and Baizhi This is Calcharo\u2019s dedicated team where he will be the main DPS, while Yinlin will function as sub-DPS and support. Yinlin can also shred enemy resistances which further enhances Calcharo\u2019s DMG. Finally, Baizhi\u2018s heals will keep the entire team healthy in extended team fights. You can also use Verina if you get her from the standard banner. Team 2: Calcharo, Sanhua, Baizhi This is another extremely powerful team for Calcharo. This is because Sanhua provides a 38% bonus to Basic Attack DMG with her Outro skill. This is not as high as Yinlin, but she is definitely the second-best option for Calcharo. The reason why this works is because the Resonance Liberation skill of Calcharo is considered as Basic ATK. This does not mean you have to level up Calcharo\u2019s Basic ATK. However, since the ultimate attacks are considered Basic ATK, it benefits from Sanhua\u2019s buff. Additionally, you can get Sanhua for free from daily log-in.
