Wuthering Waves Encore kit

Encore is a 5-Star Fusion character who uses a rectifier, and is best used in a main DPS (damage per second) role for your ranged and single-target needs. To get the most out of using Encore, you need to activate her special Resonance Liberation state as often as possible.

All of the percentages mentioned below are based on Level 1 Skills.

Keeping in mind that this is datamined pre-load information from encore.moe that could change upon her official release, here’s a summary of Encore’s kit in Wuthering Waves:

• Rarity: 5-Star.
• Element: Fusion.
• Weapon: Rectifier.
• Basic Attack: Wooly Attack.
• Forte Circuit: Black and White Woolies.
• Resonance Skill: Thermal Wooly – Encore summons Cloudy and Cosmos, attacking a target with burning rays that deal Fusion damage. After this Flaming Woolies activation, Encore can use her Resonance Skill to perform Energetic Welcome, dealing Fusion damage.
• Resonance Liberation: Cosmos Rave – As Encore loses control, Cosmos breaks free and wreaks havoc on its surroundings, replacing Encore’s ordinary moves with Cosmos Rave moves:
  • Encore’s basic attack is replaced with Cosmos: Frolicking, which can perform up to four consecutive hits that deal Fusion damage and is considered basic attack damage.
  • Encore’s heavy attack is replaced with Cosmos: Heavy Attack, which consumes stamina to attack the target with Fusion damage that is considered heavy attack damage.
  • Encore’s ordinary Resonance Skill is replaced with Cosmos: Rampage, which deals Fusion damage that is considered Resonance Skill damage.
  • Lastly, Encore’s dodge during Cosmos Rave lets her use a basic attack after a successful dodge to attack the target with Fusion damage that is considered basic attack damage.
• Intro Skill: Woolies Can Help! – Encore pounces at the enemies with Cosmos, dealing Fusion damage.
• Outro Skill: Thermal Field – Encore generates a Flame Zone centred around the Skill’s target, with a radius of 3m. Targets inside the Flame Zone are continuously burned, suffering Fusion damage equal to 176.76% of Encore’s attack every 1.5 seconds for 6 seconds.
• Inherent Skill one: Angry Cosmos – During her Cosmos Rave Resonance Liberation, when Encore’s HP is above 70%, damage dealt is increased by 10%.
• Inherent Skill two: Woolies Cheer Dance – When Encore’s Flaming Woolies or Cosmos: Rampage Resonance Skills are used, her Fusion damage is increased by 10% for 10 seconds.
• Inherent Skill three: Skillful Cooking – Has a chance to produce special dishes when cooking.

Encore’s basic active Skills

Encore’s basic attack performs up to four consecutive attacks that deal Fusion damage, and after the fourth hit of her basic attack, you can press the basic attack button to attack the target and deal Fusion damage.

As for her heavy attack, Encore consumes stamina to attack a target with Fusion damage, and for her mid-air attack, Encore consumes stamina to perform a mid-air plunging attack that deals Fusion damage.

Lastly, Encore can use her basic attack after a successful dodge to attack the target with Fusion damage.

Encore’s Forte Circuit Skill

After using her heavy attack when her Dissonance is full, Encore consumes all Dissonance to enter the Dissonance state, reducing damage taken by 70%. Switching Characters does not interrupt Dissonance, and after the Dissonance state ends, Encore casts Cloudy Frenzy that deals Fusion damage which is considered Resonance Liberation damage.

During Cosmos Rave, when casting her heavy attack, if Encore’s Dissonance is full, she consumes all Dissonance to enter Cosmos’ Dissonance state, reducing damage taken by 70%. Switching Characters does not interrupt Dissonance, and after Cosmos’ Dissonance state ends, Encore uses Cosmos Rupture to deal Fusion damage that is considered Resonance Liberation damage.

Encore can hold up to 100 Dissonance, and she accumulates Dissonance when her Wooly normal attack, Intro Skill, and Flaming Woolies and Energetic Welcome Resonance Skills hit a target. Encore also gains Dissonance during her Cosmos Rave Resonance Liberation when hitting targets.
