Aalto Overview

Aalto, an enigmatic Information Broker, is renowned for his elusive demeanor and inviting smile. It is said that he can provide any information, as long as the price is right. Recognizing his exceptional skills in gathering intelligence, Aalto was invited to join the enigmatic organization known as the Black Shores, which operates from a secluded island.

Both Aalto and Encore now serve as Consultants for the Black Shores, forming an inseparable and lively duo during their missions. Despite his initially timid nature, Aalto’s true character shines through as a dependable and attentive individual.

Aalto Review

Aalto is a 4-Star Aero character in Wuthering Waves.

A DPS character that relies on continuously using Basic Attack and Resonance Skill, with high survivability due to the presence of clones.

After using Basic Attack and Resonance Skill to generate Mist, aerial attacks are typically used to quickly acquire Forte Circuit Energy.

Additionally, due to the fast movement speed in stealth mode, the Open World experience is decent.

Pros

  • High survivability and a good experience in Open World.

Cons

  • In high-pressure environments, constantly adjusting positions can make it difficult to quickly accumulate Forte Circuit Energy, affecting damage output efficiency.
  • Aalto’s skill set deals decent damage to single targets but lacks AoE capabilities. Burst potential is also lacking.

Aalto Team Comp

Aalto Premium Best Team

Sub DPS

The main damage type of Jiyan is Heavy Attack Damage. Morfeti’s Outro Skill provides Heavy Attack DMG Deepen, making Morfeti the best teammate for Jiyan. Additionally, Morfeti has off-field coordinated attacks, offering substantial output compared to other Sub DPS options.

Aalto provides Aero DMG Deepen, making Aalto a good Sub DPS in this team comp. However, Aalto’s energy insufficiency can affect the team’s overall damage output.

Healer

Verina’s healing abilities and Concerto Energy acquisition abilities are both greater than Baizhi’s, making her the preferred healer character. Verina’s Inherent Skill provides a one-time death immunity effect. Baizhi also has a similar effect that is even better, but it requires unlocking at Sequence 5.

Verina’s healing amount is based on her ATK, so Verina has a certain degree of damage output. If you build it well, her damage should not be underestimated.

Verina’s Inherent Skill can provide a 20% attack buff to the entire team, while Baizhi can only provide a 15% attack buff to a single character.

More Build Guides

Danjin

High damage, low survivability. Among 4-star characters, Danjin has the highest overall damage output. The Resonance Chain benefits are the highest among 4-star characters.

With a smooth-damage output flow, a high Resonance Chain Danjin has damage close to or even surpassing low Resonance Chain 5-star characters. Danjin has the shortest attack animation lock in the entire game. In a single damage output cycle, Resonance Skill damage and Heavy Attack account for approximately 45% and 42% respectively.

Danjin’s unique feature is that using Resonance Skill accumulates Forte Circuit Energy even if it doesn’t hit the enemy, thus in actual combat, the proportion of Heavy Attack damage will be higher.

Chixia

Obtained immediately upon entering the game, this character has the highest burst damage among four-star characters and is the best fit for the Battle Pass Pistol. Using R1 permanent five-star weapons as the 100% standard, a fully leveled Battle Pass Pistol can reach 110%.

In Chixia’s burst damage output, Resonance Skill damage accounts for over 60%. If the Double-Boom Boom technique is mastered (using Resonance Liberation immediately after the second Boom Boom and then using Boom Boom again after Resonance Liberation ends), the proportion of Resonance Skill damage can be even higher.

Although the Resonance Liberation Energy requirement is quite high, the Resonance Liberation Multiplier is the highest among four-star characters, making the damage very considerable.

Mortefi

A off-field synergy attack character with great potential. It is the 4-star up character in the same banner as Jiyan.

The Outro Skill buff is very suitable for Jiyan, making it Jiyan’s best support so far. Due to the Inherent Skill 2 has increment effect, the theoretical damage provided during the Resonance Liberation is very high. Additionally, the efficiency of Resonance Energy and Concerto Energy acquisition is decent.
