The best 5-star characters in Wuthering Waves
Jinhsi
Jinhsi is currently the best damage dealer in the game. She has high multipliers in her Skill and Liberation, and a great character to pick in endgame contents.
Yinlin
Yinlin is currently the best Electro character in game, and will remain on top of the charts for a while. Her co-ordinated attacks are quite powerful, and her ability to buff Electro is extremely useful. She will be the meta character to pair with other electro DPS units till Kuro decides to replace her.
Zhezhi
Similar to Yinlin, Zhezhi has extremely powerful co-ordinated attacks. She can also buff Glacio, and is currently the best teammate for Jinhsi.
Verina
Where Jiyan takes the crown for being an exceptional DPS, Verina stands above the rest as a great support. Her kit is focused around healing allies and buffing their attacks and is a great pick from the Targeted Convene if you don’t have her.
Changli
Changli has become one of the best characters in the game, allowing you to deal continuous fusion damage due to her extremely high on-field time. She can also buff Resonance Liberation and Fusion damage, making her a great asset
Encore
Encore is a great choice for a damage dealer, especially for a standard unit. She specializes in dealing both ST and AoE damage.
Jiyan
Jiyan shines as the current best AoE damage dealer thanks to his exceptional kit that can target multiple enemies. Being a limited character also helps his cause, as his multipliers are higher than all other DPS in Wuthering Waves.
