How Strong is Calcharo?

Strengths
• Deals an insane amount of damage when played correctly.
• Combo-oriented gameplay provides a lot of attack options.
• Outro Skill provides off-field damage.
Weaknesses
• Quite difficult to use.
• Loses a bunch of DMG if combos aren't timed properly.

Calcharo is a great Electro DPS character that can dish out tons of damage when his combos are hit perfectly. His Outro Skill also deals a huge chunk of burst damage when he switches out, sometimes even enough to defeat a low-health enemy. Calcharo is quite difficult to use though as you have to execute his combos perfectly to maximize his damage potential. High risk, high reward.

Calcharo Best Weapon Explained

Verdant Summit is Calcharo's best-in-slot weapon as it provides CRIT DMG and a DMG boost to his entire kit. Calcharo can also use the Lustrous Razor since it can help him increase his Resonance Liberation DMG. If you can't afford either weapon, any Broadblade that provides CRIT or ATK% will work on him.

Calcharo Best Teams

Calcharo Premium Electro Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - CalcharoCalcharo Wuthering Waves - YinlinYinlin Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper

This is a premier Calcharo Main DPS team that has him on-field to trigger Yinlin's Coordinated Attacks, with Shorekeeper empowering both Electro Characters' DPS.

Yinlin's Outro Skill also applies an Electro and Resonance Liberation DMG Bonus to the entering Resonator, further amping Calcharo's damage.

General Rotation

1 Shorekeeper starts the battle and charges Concerto Energy and her Resonance Liberation. Use the latter when it is available, and swap to Yinlin afterwards, when the former is full.
2 Charge up Yinlin's Forte Gauge with her Skill and Basic Attacks, while applying Sinner's Marks to enemies. Once it's full, use a Heavy Attack to transform the Sinner's Marks to Punishment Marks.
3 Continue to DPS with Yinlin until Concerto Energy is fully charged. Use her Resonance Liberation if it is available, then swap to Calcharo to give him her Outro Skill buff.
4 Once Calcharo is on the field, activate his Resonance Liberation as soon as possible. Look to do as much damage as possible while in his Enhanced State, as well as while Yinlin's Punishment Marks and Outro Skill last.
5 Charge Concerto Energy again with Calcharo, then switch back to Shorekeeper once it's full to have her detonate her Resonance Liberation Field. Repeat until the enemy is felled.

Calcharo Basic Attack Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - CalcharoCalcharo Wuthering Waves - SanhuaSanhua Wuthering Waves - ShorekeeperShorekeeper

This team composition focuses on giving Calcharo Sanhua's Outro Skill buff to amplify his Basic Attack damage, which also affects his Basic Attacks in his Resonance Liberation Form.

Shorekeeper can buff both of the aforementioned Resonators and increase their damage and survivability with her own Resonance Liberation.

Character Explanation
Wuthering Waves - MortefiMortefi Sub-DPS Replacement
Mortefi can increase Calcharo's Heavy Attack DMG and provide supplemental DMG with his own Resonance Liberation.
Wuthering Waves - VerinaVerina Support Replacement
Verina is another 5-Star healer who also provides buffs that the team's DPS characters can make use of.
Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi Support Replacement
Baizhi is a free-to-play option who can provide a ton of healing and a buff to the next Resonator with her Outro Skill.

General Rotation

1 Begin with Shorekeeper, and use her rotations to charge Concerto Energy and her Resonance Liberation. Use the latter when it comes up, then switch to Sanhua when the former is full.
2 Cycle through Sanhua's kit using optimal rotations to maximize her Ice Structure damage, while also maxing out Concerto Energy.
3 Switch to Calcharo with maxed Concerto Energy to grant him Sanhua's Outro Skill buff. Charge and use his Resonance Liberation to enter his enhanced form and do more damage.
4 As Calcharo, charge Concerto Energy one more time, then switch to Shorekeeper to detonate her Resonance Liberation's field.
5 Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

Calcharo Free-to-Play Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support
Wuthering Waves - CalcharoCalcharo Wuthering Waves - YangyangYangyang Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi

This free-to-play team composition relies on Yangyang providing Resonance Energy for Calcharo so that he can use his Resonance Liberation sooner.

Your third slot can be Baizhi or any other healer if you have them.

General Rotation

1 Yangyang starts the battle and charges the Concerto Energy until the other Resonator's icons glow up. She can use her Resonance Liberation to group up small enemies.
2 Once Calcharo is fully charged, you can switch to him so he can use his Intro Skill. Switching from Yangyang to Calcharo will restore the latter's Resonance Energy.
3 Use Calcharo's Resonance Liberation to enter Deathblade Gear and deal a lot of DMG with his kit.
4 Switch to Yangyang again once the Concerto Energy has fully charged up. If you need healing, switch to Baizhi and use their healing skill for a quick heal.
5 Repeat the steps until the enemy is felled.

How to Play Calcharo

Calcharo Gameplay Guide
Checkmark Do Calcharo's Resonance Skill Combo
Checkmark Use Calcharo's Ultimate to Enter Enhanced State
Checkmark Using Basic Attacks in Ultimate Form

Do Calcharo's Resonance Skill to Unleash Heavy Attack: “Mercy”

Calcharo's Resonance Skill can deal a lot of damage especially if the button inputs are timed correctly.

Tap the Resonance Skill button 3 times and then use Calcharo's Heavy Attack to deal a lot of damage.

Heavy Attack Deals AoE Damage

It is important to use Calcharo's Resonance Skill 3 times before using his Heavy Attack since you need a full Forte Circuit gauge to access Heavy Attack: “Mercy”.

Heavy Attack: “Mercy” has a wide range and can hit multiple targets. The ability can also recover Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy.

Use Calcharo's Ultimate to Enter Enhanced State

Wuthering Waves - Calcharo Ultimate

Calcharo will transform into an enhanced state when using his Ultimate. In the Deathblade Gear state, The damage of his Basic Attacks, Heavy Attacks, and Dodge Counter will increase.

Charge Forte Using Basic Attacks

Do note that after using Calcharo's Ultimate, his Forte Circuit gauge will not get charged using his Resonance Skill. Instead, landing Basic Attacks will now allow Calcharo to gain one point of “Killing Intent.”

Using Basic Attacks in Ultimate Form

As mentioned above, Calcharo's Forte Circuit gauge gets filled up when he uses his Basic Attacks in Ultimate form and requires 5 Killing Intent stacks to be able to unleash Heavy Attack: Death Messenger.

Calcharo Recommended Combos

Resonance Skill Combo

Combo
Res. Skill 1 → Res. Skill 2 → Res. Skill 3 → Heavy Attack: “Mercy” (consumes 3 “Cruelty” stacks)

Outside of Calcharo's Ultimate form, you should be using the Resonance Skill combo by tapping the Resonance Skill button 3 times and then using Calcharo's Heavy Attack to end it.

Resonance Liberation Mode Combo

Combo
(During Res. Lib) BA1 → BA2 → BA3 → BA4 → BA5 → Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger” (uses 5 “Killing Intent” stacks)

During Calcharo's Ultimate form, use Calcharo's Basic Attack five times to access Heavy Attack: Death Messenger and deal a lot of damage.

High DMG Combo

Combo
Intro → Res. Skill 1 → Res. Lib → Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger” → Basic Attack x5 → Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger” → Basic Attack x5 → Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger” → Echo → Outro

This is Calcharo's highest damage combo. This can only work if you can use his Intro Skill and his Resonance Liberation is ready.

Start by using Calcharo's Intro Skill, use his Resonance Skill once then enter Resonance Liberation. After entering Resonance Liberation, you should have five Killing Intent stacks to use Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger”.

After using the first Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger”, use five Basic Attacks to do another Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger”. Repeat this combo until you've done your third Heavy Attack: “Death Messenger”.

Once the Resonance Liberation is over, use your Echo then switch to your next character for Calcharo's Outro Skill.

Calcharo Skill Priority and Forte List

Skill Priority Explanation
Normal Attack ★☆☆☆☆ While his Basic Attacks are used often, you'd want to prioritize upgrading his Ult first and foremost. This is because the enhanced Basic Attacks in that mode are when his damage output is at its highest. Upgrade this after his higher priority skills are maxed out.
Resonance Skill ★★★☆☆ Calcharo's Resonance Skill is still an important part of his kit, but it doesn't deal as much damage when compared to his enhanced attacks during his Resonance Liberation. You'll still want to upgrade this third since you'll be weaving this in between attacks.
Forte Circuit ★★★★★ Even though Heavy Attack: Death Messenger is tied to his Resonance Liberation, it scales off Calcharo's Forte Circuit level instead of his Ult. Upgrade this alongside his Ultimate so that you can maximize his damage output.
Resonance Liberation ★★★★☆ This is Calcharo's most important skill since it enhances his Basic Attacks and enables his Forte Skill to use Death Messenger instead of Mercy. Prioritize upgrading this first alongside his Forte Skill so that he can deal as much damage as possible.
Intro Skill ★☆☆☆☆ While his Intro Skill isn't bad, it's still the lowest priority upgrade since it's more important to upgrade his other skills.

First of all, you need to upgrade Calcharo's Forte Circuit first because it is his main source of damage. Once at full stack, unleashing a Heavy Attack will deal immense damage against any foes. Afterward, upgrade his Resonance Liberation next as entering Deathblade Gear state elevates Calcharo's damage and most of the multipliers are found in this skill. You can opt to upgrade his Resonance Skill, but only after the first two.

Calcharo Resonance Chain

Recommended Sequence Nodes

Why We Recommend It
S1 ★★☆☆☆ - Okay
This is an okay Sequence Node to unlock since Calcharo's most important skill is his Ultimate. Even though there are other ways to get Resonance Energy, having an extra source of Resonance Energy Regen will allow Calcharo to use equipment that has more offensive stats instead of ones with Energy Regen%.
S2 ★★☆☆☆ - Okay
This is a pretty good upgrade to get since you'll want to weave in Resonance Skills in between attacks whenever you can. However, this loses value when he's in his Ult since you'd want to focus on spamming his Forte Circuit instead of using his Resonance Skill.
S3 ★★★★☆ - Great
Calcharo gets a generically great buff from this Sequence Node since he'll want to use his Resonance Liberation as much as possible anyway. If you don't plan on maxing out his Resonance Chain, aim for this at least since it's the best upgrade he'll get until S6.
S4 ★☆☆☆☆ - Bad
This Sequence Node is only good if you have an optimized team where you'll be able to swap back to Calcharo and get his full damage rotation off with the 30s timeframe. If you can't fit your rotation within that time, including Outro Skill buffs and all, don't bother pulling for this upgrade.
S5 ★☆☆☆☆ - Bad
While this is a nice buff to get, this is counterintuitive to Calcharo's playstyle since he isn't used in quick-swap teams that spam all of their skills to burst down enemies. However, it's still nice to have since it's a generic damage increase.
S6 ★★★★★ - Amazing
His capstone is by far the best one to unlock since it heavily increases his damage output, especially when paired with Jianxin who buffs Resonance Liberation DMG. The only downside is that you have to invest heavily into Calcharo to max out his Resonance Chain, and most other Sequence Nodes aren't worth unlocking.

All Sequence Node Effects

S1 Covert Negotiation
When the Resonance Skill Extermination Order hits a target, it additionally recovers 10 Resonance Energy, which can be triggered once every 20 seconds.
S2 Zero-Sum Game
After Calcharo casts Intro Skill Wanted Criminal or Intro Skill Necessary Means, his Resonance Skill DMG Bonus is increased by 30% for 15s.
S3 Iron Fist Diplomacy
During the Resonance Liberation Deathblade Gear state, Calcharo's Electro DMG Bonus is increased by 25%.
S4 Dark Alliance
After casting the Outro Skill Shadowy Raid, Electro DMG Bonus of all team members is increased by 20% for 30s.
S5 Unconventional Compact
Intro Skill Wanted Criminal and Intro Skill Necessary Means deal 50% more damage.
S6 The Ultimatum
When casting Resonance Liberation Death Messenger, Calcharo will summon 2 Phantoms to perform coordinated attacks, each Phantom deals Electro DMG equal to 100% of Calcharo's ATK, which is considered Resonance Liberation DMG.
