How Strong is Aalto?

Strengths
• Great for buffing Aero DPS units.
• Can deal a decent amount of DMG on-field.
• Can taunt enemies with his Resonance Skill.
Weaknesses
• Resonance Liberation requires a ton of energy.
• On-field kit is a bit restrictive since it requires Aalto to attack through the Gate of Quandary.
• On-field DPS upgrades are locked behind Sequence Nodes.

Aalto is a mix of a Sub-DPS and DPS that specializes in taunting enemies with his Resonance Skill and decent Aero DMG on-field. Unlocking Aalto's Sequence Nodes will make him more viable as an on-field DPS.

Aalto is great for Aero DPS units since he can have their Aero DMG Amplified after using his Outro Skill.

Main Echo Explanation
Wuthering Waves - Impermanence HeronImpermanence Heron
Wuthering Waves - Energy Regen
・Restores Aalto's Resonance Energy so he can cast his Ultimate more.
・Increases the next character's DMG dealt, good for a semi-support role for Aalto.

・Change to a more supportive Echo towards the endgame.

Echo Tier List

Aalto Best Sonata Effects

Echo Set Rating
Wuthering Waves - Moonlit Clouds Moonlit Clouds
(5-pc)
★★★ - Best
Moonlit Clouds generally increases Aalto's Energy Regen capabilities as well as increases the ATK of the next character that switches in after Aalto's Outro Skill.

Recommended Main Echo:
Wuthering Waves - Moonlit Clouds Moonlit Clouds
(2-pc)
Wuthering Waves - Sierra Gale Sierra Gale
(2-pc)
★★☆ - 2nd Best
A mix of Moonlit Clouds and Sierra Gale is also a good choice since Aalto deals Aero DMG and also needs some Energy Recharge for less Ultimate downtime.

How to Play Aalto

Aalto Gameplay Guide



Resonant Skill Taunts Enemies

Aalto's Resonant Skill can taunt enemies, which will redirect enemy attacks to his Mist Avatar instead of the active character. Mist Drops will also attack the enemy, dealing Aero DMG.

The Mist Avatar has a set amount of HP, so it can only take so much damage then it disappears.

Hit and Run With Mist

After using Aalto's Resonant Skill or his 4th Basic Attack, he will conjure up a Mist. If Aalto dodges toward the Mist, he'll enter the Mist Dash state which will increase his movement speed and attack with Mist Drops.

This encourages Aalto's Hit and Run playstyle when he's on the field since Mist allows him to attack and move away from enemies without hassle.

Resonance Liberation Increases Bullet ATK

Aalto's Resonance Liberation summons a “Gate of Quandary” in front of him. Every time Aalto's bullets pass through the “Gate of Quandary”, their ATK gets increased.

Increase the Next Character's Aero DMG with Outro Skill

When you switch Aalto out to the next character, the switched character gains an Aero DMG Deepen for 14 seconds, which increases overall Aero DMG.

List of All Aero Characters

Aalto Recommended Combos

Optimal Rotation Combo

Combo
Intro Skill → Res. Lib → Res. Skill → Basic Attack Combo → Mist Dash (Repeat Basic Attack and Mist Dash until Concerto is full) → Echo → Outro

Start by using Aalto's Intro Skill followed by his Resonance Liberation. Afterwards, use Aalto's Resonance Skill then do a full Basic Attack combo to procure a Mist. Once the Mist is up, pass through them to perform Mist Dash.

Repeat the Basic Attacks and Mist Dash combo until the Concerto Energy is full. Finally, use Aalto's Echo then switch to the DPS character to buff them with an Aero DMG Deepen.

Aalto Skill Priority and Forte List

Skill Priority Explanation
Normal Attack ★★★★★ Most of Aalto's damage will come from both his Basic Attacks and Resonance Skill. His Basic Attacks combined with the Resonance Liberation buff will dish out a lot of damage.
Resonance Skill ★★★★★ Aalto's Resonance Skill should be leveled alongside his Basic Attacks since this increases the Mist Missile damage, which can also dish out a ton of damage.
Forte Circuit ★★★★ After upgrading Aalto's Basic Attack and Resonance Skill, your next priority is to upgrade his Forte Circuit since it increases the Mist Missile damage, which he'll be using quite often.
Resonance Liberation ★★★☆☆ Upgrading Aalto's Resonance Liberation only increases the damage dealt. This doesn't increase the ATK buff coming from the Gate of Quandry.
Intro Skill ☆☆☆☆ Most of the time, Aalto deals damage thanks to the other Fortes. Upgrading Aalto's Intro Skill is negligible since it doesn't contribute to his kit.

Majority of Aalto's damage would come from both his Normal Attack and Resonance Skill so aim to level those up first. Next, upgrade both his Forte Circuit for increased Missile damage which Aalto will use often.

Nah he is far worse than Yuan wu.

4 Anonymous4 months

Arguably one of the most underrated main DPS Resonators. Pairing him with Sanhua's Outro Skill and he can shred through anything with decent investment. If there's ever a premium Basic ATK buffer, Aalto would jump up a whole tier.
