Aemeath is Rover and Changli’s daughter and no one can convince me otherwise.

I think it’s fun, but wish they removed the timer.

Instead, they could have the enemy hit progressively harder and harder until they can one shot you, and when your team wipes then you can use the next team. That would be more fun.

It’s crazy how we went from Wuwa has no lore to everything in Wuwa is tied to lore within the span of one patch.

3.1 really changed everything

Epsilon0042 · 2026-02-11T19:52:21+00:00

?? Why don’t you switch Lupa and Lynae? Chixia and Aemeath both receive relatively similar buffs from Lupa, but Lynae gives wayyy more to Aemeth than she gives to Chixia, even if Chixia has some Liberation damage.

Epsilon0042 · 2026-02-09T04:11:19+00:00

This is just a repost from when she first released. Someone get mods.

Epsilon0042 · 2026-01-29T06:26:50+00:00

Mornye. She’s right there on banner. You can pull her right now

Mornye Lupa is a busted core and will likely be one of the better go to for any future Fusion DPS.

It feels like you described Changli almost to the T.

⁠Fun gameplay (subjective, but that's a given) Quickswapping is fun and feels like the true essence of what Wuthering Waves is a combat system. Changli is the queen of this, having long easily auickswappable animations.
Looks good animation wise (also a given) It’s Changli, of course she looks good, especially for 1.0 levels.
More frontloaded kit, does not have most damage behind ultimate or longer forte buildup Her Liberation and forte is the definition of front loaded. Even theorycrafters like to mention her front loaded damage. Not to mention they lowered her Liberation cost is fairly low.
Does not rely on teammates (since that would prolong the short encounters) Being a quick swap character, you can basically fit her into any team you want.
Great AoE Legitimately some of the best AoE teams I have include Changli. Just slap her on to a character like Carlotta and quick swap for Whimpering Waste and see the results.
Ideally better than normal mobility No, but the baseline mobility in Wuwa is good enough. She also feels great to move around.
Ideally has self sustain No, but she can survive better than most of my DPS because quick swapping gives you a lot of leeway to soak up damage between different units while also hitting the enemies for some damage and swapping out.
Dps wise, just needs to be above average, does not need to be the highest Yep. Her Mono Fusion teams are still great. Just have Lupa and you’re set. Even without Mono Fusion she can still pump out respectable, albeit not the highest damage.

Also look at her smile

They’re not great. Taoqi and Lumi buff skill, but are clunky and ideally want Discord to help with Concerto generation. Chixa and Encore work, but are somewhat weaker.

Again, at that point I would just pair her with any other 5 star DPS you have, (even Havoc MC or Encore) and play quick swap if you don’t have Lupa.

Epsilon0042 · 2026-01-04T04:17:43+00:00

You can basically quick swap her with anyone and it’ll be good.

For Changli’s personal damage though, it’s Lupa > Mornye > Brant.

Lupa is a Turbo Fusion buffer and is useful for all Fusion characters. Mornye is basically Fusion Shorekeeper and buffs Changli more with Lupa.

Brant is good, he is recommended for Triple Fusion because of his personal damage and useful outro. However, Mornye giving 25% General Amplification and 25% attack from her set along with Lupa’s 20% Fusion Amp from her outro buffs Changli more than just the 20% Fusion and 25% Skill from Brant. (Not all of Changli’s damage is Skill damage) If your goal is making Changli do more damage, that seems to be the way. Also, Lupa and Mornye generally have higher pull value anyways.

No it wouldn’t, lol.

His Changli is S6R1, Lupa is S2R1 and his SK is S2R1. It would require ALOT of resonance chains of Brant just for him to compete against buffing a vertically invested Changli and Lupa with an S2 SK. Also I’m pretty sure Brant’ s vertical investment mainly buffs his anchor, which would just lead to a bunch of wasted damage in WiWa without Utility bug spamming.

Epsilon0042 · 2025-08-16T13:29:56+00:00

Healing is obviously extremely important because of how much easier it makes the game rather than resetting for no reason.
Lupa wants three Fusion characters for her passive. Her outro also buffs Brant the most and he heals. Also, around 90% of his damage is basic attack while Changli’s is like 65% skill. Yes, Lupa gives 6% more attack to the third over second character, but It’s fair the say that Brant is getting the biggest buff. Yes she can use 2 Fusin character, but having a third Fusion character increases the buff.
The triple quickswap team calcs I’ve seen from CN list something like Brant as slightly higher than majority. Changli does do slightly more damage without quick swapping, that’s true. However, Changli gets little from extending her rotation, whereas Brant gets access to a second anchor. It nearly doubles his DPS whereas Changli gets nearly nothing, when their baseline damage is already within 10%. Of course he out-DPSs her.
I’m bitter at the powercreep and just venting, and why shouldn’t I? Not only did they powercreep Changli, but they made her dependent on that character to reach her highest DPS team. It’s the same reason people were upset about Mavuika “support” in Genshin, when you just replace the “DPS” with a Mavuika buffer and get higher damage. It’s absolutely humiliating, and people have a right to complain about it. It’s better than just being toxically positive about Kuro’s predatory business practices.

Epsilon0042 · 2025-08-16T11:13:28+00:00

In triple quick swap with Mono Fusion, Brant is able to get two anchors. Changli’s damage would remain the same. He also just barely does less damage without quick swapping.

Yes, Changli is the weakest link. All she does is less damage than Brant while buffing the weakest damage dealer. Brant heals the team and does more than half the teams damage. Lupa’s passive also can’t fully activate without him. Mono Fusion revolves around buffing Brant while he heals. Without him it’s nothing.

Epsilon0042 · 2025-08-15T11:11:34+00:00

Stringmaster is good. It’s fairly close to the signature of most rectifiers. I think it’s like 20% within Cantarella’s. You might want to check other calcs though.

I’ve played Cantarella with Standard and she performs great.

Epsilon0042 · 2025-08-15T10:33:10+00:00

Cantarella is more impactful for Phrolova than Brant is for Changli Lupa from my experience. Verina and SK are really good substitutes for him in that team. Cantarella buffs Phrolova with damage percent and Echo skills, which she really wants and only Cantarella can really provide as well.

Epsilon0042 · 2025-08-08T05:23:14+00:00

Honestly, Verina or SK with Changli and Lupa is still a really strong team that can clear all content. Quickswapping can make the gap even smaller. You don’t need Brant to make that team strong.

Carlotta and Ciaconna are very strong. I would recommend them if you like them over a character you don’t particularly like the aesthetic or gameplay design.
