What is the best build for Galbrena?

The optimal build for Galbrena as a Fusion Main DPS is the Flamewing's Shadow Set (3 pieces) + Fusion 2P Set, with CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG on cost 4 and Fusion DMG%/ATK% on cost 3. Her signature weapon Lux & Umbra is recommended.

Is Galbrena a good DPS?

Galbrena is a very powerful DPS in her premium team, but outside Fusion/Qiu Yuan teams she is considerably weaker. She deals Echo Skill DMG which is very niche and she is not really F2P Friendly.

What rotation should I use with Galbrena?

Galbrena Rotation: Resonance Liberation (charge quickly) → Basic Attack & Echo combo (charge the Forte) → Resonance Skill - Ascent of Malice (enter Demon Hypostasis) → Basic Attack combo under Forte → Outro. Many animations can be cancelled.

What are the best teams for Galbrena?

The best team for Galbrena is the Lupa Team (Galbrena + Lupa + Cantarella/Mornye). Alternatives: Lynae Team (Galbrena + Lynae + Mornye) or Mono Fusion Team with Changli/Brant + Mornye.

Which talents should I prioritise for Galbrena?

Galbrena talent priority: 1) Forte (70% of damage), 2) Liberation (20% of damage), 3) Basic Attack, 4) Skill, 5) Intro. Absolute focus on Forte first.

Meilleures armes Galbrena Wuthering Waves

Galbrena arme Lux & Umbra

Galbrena's signature weapon. It is a great weapon but not mandatory if you have the premium team.

Galbrena arme Phasic Homogenizer

The permanent weapon works very well with Galbrena. It will be even stronger in a Mornye team since it increases the Dissonance Rate.

Galbrena arme The Last Dance

Carlotta's weapon works with Galbrena, but it is roughly equivalent to the old permanent weapon in a Qiu Yuan team, or even equal in a Mono Fusion team.

Galbrena arme Static Mist

The permanent weapon works fairly well with Galbrena, even if the new one is better.

Galbrena arme Solar Flame

Best BP weapon for Galbrena.

Galbrena arme Relativistic Jet (R5)

Best 4-star weapon for Galbrena.

Meilleur build Galbrena sets d'échos Wuthering Waves

Galbrena set Flamewing's Shadow + Fusion 2P Set

FS 3-piece Set + Fusion 2P Set

The best set for Galbrena. The 3-piece bonus grants: when the character deals Echo Skill DMG, CRIT Rate for Heavy Attack DMG is increased by 20% for 6s, and when the character deals Heavy Attack DMG, CRIT Rate for Echo Skill DMG is increased by 20% for 6s. If both bonuses are active simultaneously, the character's Fusion DMG is increased by 16%. For the second set, any Fusion set works, as long as it grants 10% Fusion DMG from the 2-piece bonus.

Rotation Galbrena Wuthering Waves

Resonance Liberation - Hellfire Absolution: The Resonance Liberation deals decent DMG, but most importantly, the goal is to use it as quickly as possible so it can be recharged faster via the Resonance Skill, the Basic Attack combo, etc.

Basic Attack & Echo combo: The goal is to charge the Forte (blue) as quickly as possible in order to deal maximum DMG under Demon Hypostasis.

Resonance Skill - Ascent of Malice: Thanks to this Resonance Skill, we enter Demon Hypostasis and deal maximum DMG. You can cancel this Resonance Skill's animation via a dash.

Basic Attack combo under Forte: At this point, we will deal enormous DMG. Note that the attack where you deploy your wings can be cancelled, as can the last attack where she performs a kick. The goal is to fully deplete the Forte.

Outro: Deal some DMG and resume the rotation based on your team composition.

Galbrena's rotation is very straightforward. However, many skills can be cancelled, which allows us to be much faster.

Meilleures teams Galbrena WuWa

Galbrena team Main DPS Team

This team is one of the best currently for Galbrena. Qiu Yuan will boost her enormously and she will deal massive damage because the majority of her damage is considered Echo Skill DMG. On top of that, Qiu Yuan charges Afterflame very quickly.

Galbrena team Mono Fusion Team

The Mono Fusion team is certainly one of the best for Galbrena, mainly thanks to Lupa. She will massively lower Fusion resistance and buff the whole team. However, if you don't have her, Changli or Brant also work since they both boost Fusion DMG.

Galbrena team Lynae Team

The Lynae Mornye team works with any DPS that scales on ATK. However, if you have the teams above, it is preferable to use Lynae in other teams.

Galbrena team Phrolova Team

Cantarella allows us to charge Afterflame faster and therefore Galbrena will deal massive damage. However, the rotation is longer and Phrolova provides a slight boost thanks to the Heavy ATK buff.

Galbrena team F2P Team

Mortefi is slightly better here as he boosts Heavy ATK and at S6 boosts ATK%. That said, I strongly encourage you to pull for Galbrena with one of the teams above rather than the F2P team, as she will get powercrept.

Galbrena DPR Wuthering Waves - Galbrena DPS WuWa - Galbrena Calculs Wuthering Waves

Galbrena DPR Team Galbrena Shorekeeper

This team is genuinely acceptable for endgame content, but keep in mind that older Galbrena Qiuyuan teams do not include Tune Interruption, so those older teams deal +65k more damage.

Galbrena DPR Team Galbrena New Perma

The signature weapon is not mandatory — this calculation is based on the new permanent weapon.

Galbrena DPR Team Qiuyuan Mornye

Shorekeeper is better in this team as not all of Mornye's buffs are active.

Galbrena DPR Team Qiuyuan Verina

DPR is slightly higher assuming this team is faster than a Shorekeeper team.

Galbrena DPR Team Qiuyuan Baizhi

Damage may seem equivalent to Verina but Baizhi is much slower.

Galbrena DPR Team Lynae

One of the best teams for Galbrena.

Galbrena DPR Team Lupa Brant

The rotation is significantly longer than her dedicated team, so the DPR is not very representative (without buff, damage is slightly lower).

Galbrena DPR Team Lupa Mornye

One of the best teams for Galbrena (without buff, damage is slightly lower).

Galbrena DPR Team Lupa Changli

The rotation is significantly longer than her dedicated team, so the DPR is not very representative (without buff, damage is slightly lower).

Galbrena DPR Team Lupa Encore

This team is playable on the assumption that you don't have a healer (without buff, damage is slightly lower).

Galbrena DPR Team Phrolova Qiuyuan

The rotation is longer than her dedicated team, so the DPR is not very representative.

Galbrena DPR Team Phrolova Cantarella

The rotation is significantly longer than her dedicated team, so the DPR is not very representative.

Galbrena DPR Team Phrolova Shorekeeper

One of the best teams for Galbrena. The rotation is slightly slower than with Qiuyuan.

Galbrena DPR Team Iuno Shorekeeper

Galbrena benefits very little from Heavy Attack, so this is not her best team.

Galbrena DPR Team Mortefi Shorekeeper

Galbrena benefits very little from Heavy Attack, so this is not her best team.

Galbrena DPR Team Mortefi Mornye

Galbrena benefits very little from Heavy Attack, so this is not her best team.

Galbrena DPR Team Mortefi Verina

Galbrena benefits very little from Heavy Attack, so this is not her best team.

Galbrena DPR Team Mortefi Baizhi

Galbrena benefits very little from Heavy Attack, so this is not her best team.

Galbrena DPR Team Galbrena Premium

One of the best S0R1 teams for Qiuyuan.
