Wuthering Waves Cantarella Best Build Guide

Cantarella is the newest addition to the Wuthering Waves roster. She is a 5-star Havoc healer who, thanks to her personal damage and coordinated attacks, can even take on a sub-DPS role.

Cantarella is a 5-star Havoc unit. She uses a rectifier as her weapon of choice, and her primary role is that of a healer and support. Having said that, Cantarella also has a lot of damage baked into her kit, which also allows her to be built as a main DPS unit if you would like to play her in that way. Cantarella’s kit revolves around normal attacking so that you can first build up her 5 points of [Trance]. After that is built up, you will enter a unique state known as [Mirage] in which, when you normally attack, you will consume a point of [Trance] and gain a point of [Shiver]. Once you’ve built up 3 points of [Shiver], you can activate an enhanced version of your Resonance Skill known as [Perception Drain] to deal lots of damage and heal your entire team.

In short, your main goal with Cantarella is to normally attack as much as possible to try and fill everything up and then use your Resonance Skill to consume everything. Once that’s done, you just repeat the entire process. The great thing about Cantarella is that you actually don’t need to worry about her healing as it occurs naturally while you’re trying to build up enough points for your enhanced Resonance Skill. This makes her easy to play and a fun unit to have.

All in all, Cantarella is a solid healer, buffer, and even a sub DPS, making her quite the worthy investment if you happen to have a bit of currency lying around!

Cantarella’s best weapon is her signature, the [Whispers of Sirens]. This weapon provides a decent chunk of CRIT DMG while also further boosting Cantarella’s ATK%, making it a great choice to boost her personal damage while also boosting the damage of your teammates. Apart from the [Whispers of Sirens], Cantarella has other good choices as well, which you can see in the table above.

Cantarella can choose between two echo sets depending on how you wish to play her. On one hand, there is the [Midnight Veil] choice, which assumes you will play Cantarella as a sub-DPS support for a Havoc Main DPS. On the other hand, there’s the more general [Moonlit Clouds] set, which can be used in almost any situation but solely focuses on support. Depending on which path you decide to take, each set is good, and it is hard to say whether one is better than the other. We generally recommend using the [Moonlit Clouds] set, as the damage dropoff is not that major, and it is generally more versatile.

Skill Priority

For skill priority, you first want to go after Cantarella’s Forte Circuit, followed by her Resonance Liberation, Resonance Skill, Basic Attack, and finally Intro Skill.
