Wuthering Waves 3.0 Standard Weapon Guide: Character Recommendations and How to Use Them
This video analyzes the new standard weapons according to the Wuthering Waves 3.0 update and provides a weapon selection guide for each character. It presents recommended weapons and usage strategies for various situations such as main DPS, sub-DPS, newbies, and returning users to help with efficient weapon selection.
1. ⚔️ Main DPS vs Sub-DPS: Weapon Selection Criteria and Importance
- ✅ In Wuthering Waves, the main DPS has a high proportion, with a ratio of about 7 for DPS, 2 for sub-DPS, and 1 for support.
- ✅ The damage difference between the signature weapon and the standard weapon is approximately 15% to 20%.
- ⚠️ It is recommended to use the signature weapon for the main DPS if possible, and consider the standard weapon as an alternative when the signature weapon is not available.
- ✅ For sub-DPS, you can consider the standard weapon as an option to save the signature weapon.

2. 🌟 Weapon Selection Guide for Newbies and Returning Players
- ✅ Newbies and returning players are recommended to acquire the old sword, old pistol, and new pistol namecards first.
- ✅ The sword can be used by all sword characters except Carti, who uses HP (HP-based).
- ✅ The old pistol is used for sub-DPS, and the new pistol is used for main DPS.
- ✅ Lin Yan, the first pickup character in version 3.0, has low signature weapon dependency and works well with the old pistol.
- ⚠️ Save your resources to consider investing in the next Moni character, or get it if looks are important to you.

3. 💰 Weapon Selection Tips for Completionists and Efficiency-Focused Players
- ✅ Completionists (players who acquire all character namecards) should get weapons for characters they don't have, or consider refining existing weapons or Valina breakthroughs with remaining resources.
- ✅ Extreme efficiency-focused players (players who pursue minimal spending efficiency) will have already set up standard weapons according to signature weapon efficiency, so consider switching to a better-suited standard weapon if available.

4. 🗡️ Sword Analysis: New Sword vs Old Sword, Efficiency Comparison by Character
- ⚠️ The new sword is share-based, so only Lin Yan can use it currently, and it is the same as no option if you don't have Lin Yan.
- ❌ The new sword is somewhat suitable for Brand, but it has high signature weapon dependency and other weapons are more efficient.
- ✅ The old sword is efficient for all sword characters except Carti, who uses HP.
- ✅ It has an attack power increase effect when a Resonance Skill is activated, making it slightly more efficient than Camel for Jianxin, who uses Offense frequently.
- ✅ Jiyan has a low damage proportion among sub-DPS, so standard weapon efficiency is good.
02:36 - 03:25
5. 🔫 Pistol Analysis: New Pistol vs Old Pistol, Main DPS and Sub-DPS Usage
- ✅ The new pistol is very good for main DPS.
- ✅ Both Calbretta and Carlotta have a damage difference of about 10% compared to the signature weapon, which is a good feeling.
- ✅ For rerun characters, if it is burdensome to pull the signature weapon, we recommend standard weapon efficiency.
- ✅ The old pistol is a sub-DPS efficiency God Tier weapon with the next character's attack power increase option.
- ✅ Both Lin Yan and Chixia have low signature weapon dependency and receive the old pistol option well.
- ⚠️ Chixia's signature weapon is slightly better than Lin Yan's signature weapon, but Carti's damage is so strong that we do not recommend it.
03:26 - 04:32
6. ⚔️ Broadblade Analysis: New Broadblade, Calamity, Goldleaf, and Magthunder Comparison and Recommendations
- ⚠️ The new broadblade has an ejection effect, so Lin Yan is required.
- ✅ Chisa and Lupa, who are Liberation DPS, perform well when they receive the ejection effect.
- ✅ Chisa can be combined with Lin Yan in a party, but it is difficult to combine Lupa with Lin Yan.
- ✅ It is easy to set up Crit/Crit DMG (Critical Rate/Critical Damage), making it easy to use.
- ⚠️ Calamity has less damage than other DPS, so the feeling is great without a signature weapon.
- ✅ Goldleaf is an aerial strike but also has a Liberation option, so both damage and options are good, but it is a pity that there are no dedicated parts yet.
- ✅ Magthunder's signature weapon performance is so good that we recommend the signature weapon, but the standard weapon is also usable because its own damage is strong.

7. 🥊 Gauntlet Analysis: Lingyang, Genny, Sanhua, Yuno, Rococo Weapon Selection Guide
- ⚠️ Gauntlets are only for Lingyang, who is a normal attack DPS, so there are virtually no characters to give them to.
- ✅ It is Crit (Critical), so the setup itself is easier than standard.
- ❌ Genny has a high Crit Rate, so a Crit Rate weapon is likely to be over-Crit Rate, and the signature weapon option is very good, so the damage difference with the standard weapon is large. We recommend the signature weapon for Genny.
- ⚠️ Sanhua is a version 1 character, so the damage is disappointing compared to other DPS without a signature weapon.
- ✅ Yuno and Rococo can be used without receiving options.
- ✅ Yuno has a high damage proportion and good signature weapon performance, so it is good to get the signature weapon.

8. ✨ Resonator Analysis: Cantarella, Flutter, Flory, Pathfinder, and Verina Weapon Recommendations
- ✅ Cantarella and Flutter are normal attack-based, so you can use the new standard resonator.
- ✅ Even if it's good, it's destruction, so it's easy to receive 24% attack and 12% normal attack damage.
- ⚠️ The damage is slightly lower with -30% attack and +26% attack compared to the existing standard weapon.
- ✅ It is also good to leech the share with the new standard and get Crit/Crit DMG.
- ❌ Flory has no share option and very high signature weapon dependency, so you must go for the signature weapon.
- ⚠️ Verina has the four-star weapon, Pan Bian, which is a Concerto God Tier, so it is not essential.
- ✅ Verina is a fear-based heal, so it seems okay to lower the Concerto slightly and go for the new resonator with fear, but Pan Bian will be better.

9. 💎 Final Conclusion: Standard Weapon Usage Tips and Additional Information
- ✅ Even if there is no performance difference compared to the old standard, it is still advantageous just to make Crit/Crit DMG setup easier.
- ⚠️ Wuthering Waves gives a lot of resources and the weapon is guaranteed, so most people can get the namecard with just a little spending, so they don't use standard weapons well.
- ✅ The newly added new end content requires a lot of parties, so the efficiency of the namecard is good.
