Wuthering Waves Tier List
Best Wuthering Waves Tier List
Simulation-backed rankings by role. Every placement starts from our engine running each character’s full rotation on one benchmark boss, then scored on team speed, team depth and ease of play.

Main DPS
The character on the field doing the damage.
Sub-DPS
Swaps in for a burst, then hands off to the carry.

How this list is ranked
Every placement comes from our own damage engine: the same simulations behind every character page on this site, folded into one score per role.
Read exactly how we rank, with every weight and numberWhat each tier means
Crowned. The top third of the role by simulated score: the strongest picks in the role right now.
Exalted. The middle third of the role: a step off the crown, still an elite endgame pick.
Excellent. Clears all endgame content comfortably; strong in the right team.
Strong. Works, but outclassed in this role by everything above.
The main list (Team, S0) assumes no Resonance Chains and a solid, comparable build, in an endgame context; the switches show the same simulations at S3 and S6, or a carry fighting alone. Flexible characters appear in every role they fit, ranked for that role. Beta characters are marked and may shift before release. Hover a character for the one-line reasoning, or open their page for the full simulation.
