Completing the Ultimate Cartethyia Build, Team, Weapon, and Echoes in WuWa

Select Language:

After spending some time in Jinzhou while playing Wuthering Waves, you’ll venture into Rinascita, uncovering the tale of the second Sentinel and the hidden secrets of the world. As part of this journey, you’ll encounter a captivating resonator named Cartethyia and have plenty of time to connect with her.

With the Version 2.4 update, Cartethyia joins the roster as a five-star Aero unit specializing in Aero Erosion to deal substantial damage. To fully leverage her potential, selecting the right weapons, echoes, and team members is crucial.

Best Weapons for Cartethyia

As the second resonator tied to a Sentinel, Cartethyia brings unique abilities, including character switching and using Aero Erosion to increase damage based on HP. However, these distinctive features limit your weapon choices, as many available weapons focus on ATK or other damage boosts she doesn’t require. Cartethyia’s top weapon is her signature, Defier’s Thorn. Outside of this, your options diminish considerably, particularly for standard five-star or free-to-play choices.

Weapon Options

Defier’s Thorn (Five-Star)

- This weapon offers unmatched buffs. Equipping it grants a significant HP boost and allows you to ignore a portion of enemy defense while increasing damage against foes affected by Aero Erosion.
Red Spring (Five-Star)
- A respectable substitute, it provides a boost to Crit Rate and Basic Attack Damage. However, the ATK Percent it offers is not beneficial for her.
Unflickering Valor (Five-Star)
- This option gives desirable stats such as Energy Regen and Crit Rate, as well as a Basic Attack DMG bonus.
Emerald of Genesis (Five-Star)
- Although it’s a standard five-star weapon, its effectiveness is lower than the previous three. It provides a boost to Crit Rate and Energy Regen.
Guardian Sword (Three-Star)
- If other options are unavailable, this three-star sword can be used for its HP boost.
