Wuthering Waves Character Tier List

With 18 characters available at launch, there’s plenty to consider when loading up Wuthering Waves for the first time. Better yet, if you’re anything like me, you’re going to want to experiment with a few different characters. Each character has an assigned rarity rating, attribute, and weapon of choice.

With Rover being the starter character in the Wuthering Wave story, it’s no surprise that they take the C-Tier. However, they still make for an interesting start with players being able to choose the gender of Rover. Of course, all things considered, I’m hoping to get my hands on S-tier characters like Yinlin and Verina. However, no matter who you play, Wuthering Waves is packed to the brim with dazzling combat and character designs.
