What are the best weapons in Wuthering Waves? With five different types of weapons tied to specific Resonators, which weapon-type is best for you will come down to your play style. However, not all weapons within each type were created equal, with some of them being rare five-star weapons. That said, these rare weapons are much more difficult to rank up, as you’ll need to pull them multiple times from the Convene gacha mechanic.
Wuthering Waves has a huge amount of mechanics and resources built into the action RPG game, so we don’t blame you if you have more questions about how it all works. First and foremost, you should read up on how to get more Wuthering Waves tides, then look at the Wuthering Waves characters list to see who you might want to unlock first.
Best Wuthering Waves weapons
You may think the rare, five-star weapons would be the best; however, using the Convene mechanic to get the right weapons may take a long time. In the early to mid-game, it’s better to go with something common, as you can rank it up consistently and swap it between Resonators. As you approach the endgame, you should aim for obtaining multiple copies of five-star weapons to upgrade them further.
Below is a list of the best weapons found in the three and four-star tiers. Five-star weapons are powerful enough that they should always be chosen over the lower tiers. As there’s only one or two five-star weapons per type, the choice is clear.
Best three-star weapons
For three-star weapons, you likely won’t want to invest too many resources. Therefore, the Night series of weapons work well as they all increase ATK by 8% for ten seconds when an Intro Skill is released, which happens when you switch characters that have charged up their skill. This ATK bonus can be increased exponentially by using duplicates of the same type of weapon to rank it up.
Here are the best three-star weapons in Wuthering Waves:
- Sword of Night
- Broadblade of Night
- Pistols of Night
- Gauntlets of Night
- Rectifier of Night
Best four-star weapons
You should aim to acquire four-star weapons when thinking about builds for specific Resonators. If you’re running Baizhi, for example, you’ll likely want to use the Comet Flare Rectifier to increase her healing output. That said, there are base four-star weapons that work well with every Resonator’s kit. Like our three-star recommendations, these weapons provide buffs when using an Intro Skill.
Here are the best four-star weapons in Wuthering Waves:
- Sword: Commando of Conviction (increases ATK by 15% for 15 seconds on Intro Skill)
- Broadblade: Dauntless Evernight (increases ATK by 8% and DEF by 15% for 15 seconds on Intro Skill)
- Pistols: Undying Flame (increases Resonance Skill DMG by 20% for 15 seconds on Intro Skill)
- Gauntlets: Amity Accord (increases Resonance Liberation DMG by 20% for 15 seconds on Intro Skill)
- Rectifier: Jinzhou Keeper (increases ATK speed by 8% and HP by 10% on Intro Skill)
