What is the best build for Denia?

The optimal build for Denia uses a Cost 3 Fusion% + Fusion% setup. She prioritizes Crit Rate, Crit DMG and Fusion DMG on her echo sub-stats. Her signature weapon is recommended to maximize Sub DPS damage output.

What are the best teams for Denia?

Denia fits perfectly alongside Luuk (best S0R1 team with Mornye) and Aemeath (Fusion Burst team). In Fusion Burst Mode, she boosts the team's Fusion Burst DMG via her Outro (+60%). In Tune Strain Mode, her Outro boosts the next active member's All DMG by 15% up to 40%. She also pairs well with Mornye, Shorekeeper, Verina or Baizhi as supports.

Which talents should I prioritize for Denia?

Prioritize Resonance Liberation first (40% of damage), then Forte Circuit (26%), then Normal Attack (19%), and finally Resonance Skill (13%). Intro Skill is last as it contributes very little to total damage.

How does Denia's rotation work?

Denia always enters via her Intro (It's Been A While!), never first. She chains: Intro → Normal Attack IV → Phantom Bubble → Final Act (Stagecraft Form) → Banish I + II → Normal Attack (Breakdown Form I→IV) → Beckon → Final Act (Breakdown Form) → Echo → Outro. Her rotation generates the Erosion Field which attacks every 4 seconds for 30 seconds.

Is Denia better in Fusion Burst Mode or Tune Strain Mode?

In Fusion Burst Mode, Denia is ideal with Aemeath and characters who benefit from Fusion Burst. In Tune Strain Mode, she excels alongside Luuk thanks to her Outro which boosts all damage by 15% to 40% and her Tune Break Boost. Tune Strain Mode is slightly superior in current team DPR calculations.

Rotation Denia Wuthering Waves

Intro — It's Been A While!: Denia always enters via her Intro, never first. Deals Fusion DMG, immediately generating 1 Dark Core and 25 points of Void Particle.

Normal Attack — Stagecraft Form Stage 4: After the Intro, pressing Normal Attack quickly enough lets Denia jump directly to Stage 4, skipping the earlier stages. This regenerates a large amount of Void Particle and applies the active resonance mode effect to the target.

Phantom Bubble — Stagecraft Form: Deals Fusion DMG and generates an additional 25 points of Void Particle. Combined with the Intro and Normal Attacks, Void Particle reaches 100 points — gauge is full.

Final Act — Stagecraft Form: Cast Resonance Liberation in Stagecraft Form. Deals Fusion DMG, switches Denia to Breakdown Form and grants Entropy Shift: Breakdown Form, boosting her ATK by 30% for 12s.

Banish — Breakdown Form: Thanks to the Dark Core gained via the Intro, the skill becomes Banish. Cast Banish Stage 1 to pull in nearby targets, dealing Fusion DMG.

Banish — Breakdown Form Stage 2: Press Normal Attack or Resonance Skill quickly after to trigger Banish Stage 2. Consumes all Dark Cores dealing Fusion DMG considered as Resonance Liberation DMG. Each Dark Core consumed increases the DMG Multiplier by 150%.

Normal Attack — Breakdown Form (Stage 1→4): Chain the Normal Attack combo to Stage 4. Void Particle is consumed on each hit to make the DMG count as Resonance Liberation DMG with a +50% Multiplier. Conformal Charge regenerates twice as fast during this time.

Beckon — Breakdown Form: Cast the Resonance Skill in Breakdown Form to pull in targets, dealing Fusion DMG. Contributes to regenerating Conformal Charge.

Final Act — Breakdown Form: Conformal Charge is at 100 — consume all Conformal Charge and remaining Void Particle to cast Resonance Liberation. Deals heavy Fusion DMG, generates Erosion Field (30s, attacks every 4s) and switches back to Stagecraft Form with Entropy Shift: Stagecraft Form.

Echo: Activate the Echo to deal additional Fusion DMG and boost the next incoming character before swapping.

Outro — Unfinished Lies: Swap to boost the next member. In Fusion Burst Mode: Fusion Burst DMG against nearby enemies is Amplified by 60% for 30s. In Tune Strain Mode: All DMG of the next active member is Amplified by 15% up to 40% for 16s.

Denia has a very fast rotation — just make sure to use Normal Attack right after the Intro.

Denia DPR Wuthering Waves - Denia DPS WuWa - Denia Calculs Wuthering Waves

Denia DPR Aemeath Chisa Team

This team is very strong but falls below the Lynae - Mornye team. Fusion Burst DMG is counted on Aemeath.

Denia DPR Aemeath Shorekeeper Team

Fusion Burst DMG is counted on Aemeath. This team is very viable.

Denia DPR Aemeath Mornye Team

Fusion Burst DMG is counted on Aemeath. Very viable though Mornye S0 has limited value here.

Denia DPR Aemeath Verina Team

Fusion Burst DMG is counted on Aemeath. Viable but below a premium Augusta team.

Denia DPR Aemeath Baizhi Team

Fusion Burst DMG is counted on Aemeath. Actual damage will be lower if Aemeath doesn't pick up Baizhi's feather.

Denia DPR Aemeath Lupa Team

Very strong team but no healer.

Denia DPR Luuk Mornye Team

Best S0R1 team for Luuk.

Denia DPR Luuk Shorekeeper Team

Mornye is better than Shorekeeper but far from mandatory. The more Tune Break Boost Luuk and Denia have (+6.3% per echo), the less Shorekeeper adds value compared to Mornye.

Denia DPR Luuk Verina Team

Equivalent to an Augusta Iuno Shorekeeper team — very viable.

Denia DPR Luuk Baizhi Team

Actual damage will be lower as we assume Luuk picks up Baizhi's flower.

Denia DPR Denia Mornye Team

Best S0R1 team for Luuk with Denia.
