Encore
Who is Encore?
Encore is a 5★ Fusion DPS using a Rectifier and one of the launch 5★ units in Wuthering Waves. Despite her age, she remains a highly viable main DPS with a unique summon-based kit — her sheep echoes deal off-field Fusion DMG while she is on the field, effectively giving her passive damage procs. She benefits enormously from Changli's Outro buff and is a strong choice for F2P players who pick her from the standard banner.
Kit Summary
Fast Rectifier shots; generates Concerto Energy for Outro cycling.
Summons Woolies sheep that chase enemies and deal Fusion DMG hits over time; multiple stacks can be maintained simultaneously.
At max Forte, enters an empowered state where Normal Attacks transform into rapid Fusion outbursts — her primary sustained DPS phase.
AoE Fusion burst dealing high damage and resetting Woolies stacks for an immediate follow-up summon cycle.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Molten Rift (4pc) — Fusion DMG Bonus + additional Fusion DMG during Forte/Liberation. Best-in-slot for her Cosmos Rave DPS phase.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Cosmic Ripples (Signature) — ATK + increases Woolies Fusion DMG proc frequency. F2P: Variation (craftable 4★ Rectifier) — solid Energy Regen + ATK for smooth Liberation cycling.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Fusion: Changli + Encore + Verina (Changli Outro grants +20% Fusion DMG to Encore; Verina ATK buff; strong sustained mono-Fusion)
Budget: Encore + Danjin + Baizhi (F2P-viable Fusion resonance + accessible healer)
F2P Verdict
Encore is obtainable from the standard banner (Convene) without spending on limited banners — highly accessible for F2P players.
Cosmic Ripples is not needed — Variation (craftable) or any 4★ Rectifier works well.
Changli as an Outro buffer is a significant upgrade but still a separate limited pull.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Encore still good in 2025/2026?
Yes — she is a solid Fusion DPS. Not top-of-meta like Changli, but very capable, especially in a dedicated Fusion team. Her standard availability makes her one of the most accessible strong DPS units in WuWa.
What do her Woolies do?
Woolies are sheep summons that follow enemies and automatically deal Fusion DMG hits at intervals. They persist off-field, giving Encore passive procs even while cycling through teammates for Outro buffs.
Does Encore need Changli?
No — she works fine with any healer/support. Changli is her best partner due to Outro Fusion DMG buff, but Encore + Verina alone covers all content comfortably.
