To craft the best builds in Wuthering Waves, you need a strong weapon, a reliable Echo Set, and a powerful Echo Skill. The right items vary for each character based on their element, weapon type, and skillset.

You can build characters in many different ways to suit various types of team builds and gameplay styles, but these builds are the overall best options for them. The best builds will also likely evolve as more items and content are added to Wuthering Waves in later updates since better gear will probably become available.
