Phoebe is a 5-star Spectro Rectifier character in Wuthering Waves, introduced in version 2.1. She stands out with a unique mechanic called Spectro Frazzle, which deals damage over time, unlike other damage dealers in the game that focus on powerful single hits.
This distinctive gameplay has drawn many players to Phoebe, who are eager to explore her current abilities and anticipate her future growth. If you’re planning to add Phoebe to your roster and want tips on building her effectively, this comprehensive guide will provide you with all the essential information.
Top Weapons for Phoebe
As a Rectifier DPS, Phoebe has limited options that fit her playstyle, especially for free-to-play players. Her signature weapon is the optimal choice, but if you’re not inclined to invest in the weapon banner, there are alternative options available.
Here are the best Rectifier weapons for Phoebe:
|
Weapon Name |
Rarity |
Synergy With Phoebe |
|---|---|---|
|
Luminous Hymn |
5-Star |
This is Phoebe’s signature Rectifier weapon, offering a Crit Rate as a secondary stat. It enhances ATK through its passive effect and boosts both Basic and Heavy ATK damage when utilizing Spectro Frazzle. It also increases Spectro Frazzle damage when using Outro Skill, benefiting Phoebe’s allies with Spectro Rover. |
|
Stringmaster |
5-Star |
This weapon serves as a good alternative for Phoebe, offering Crit Rate as a substat along with boosts to overall damage, Resonance Skill damage, and ATK. |
|
Cosmic Ripple |
5-Star |
This is a standard banner Rectifier that boosts ATK as a secondary stat and enhances Energy Regen and Basic ATK damage. The latter can stack up to five times, which is quite beneficial for Phoebe. |
|
Ocean’s Gift |
4-Star |
If you’re seeking a free-to-play option for Phoebe, Ocean’s Gift works well as it enhances the Spectro damage for characters using Spectro Frazzle. This weapon can be obtained from the Old Man and the Whale event. |
|
Augment |
4-Star |
This weapon boosts the wearer’s ATK when using Resonance Liberation. It’s an average choice for a Rectifier, ideally used only when no better options are available. |
While the 5-star choices are excellent, if you don’t possess her signature weapon, it’s advisable to prioritize Ocean’s Gift due to its synergy with Spectro Frazzle and because it’s freely available from the Old Man and the Whale event, making it easier to build your Phoebe effectively.
Phoebe Echo Guide
Echoes play a vital role in developing characters in this game, especially for a unique character like Phoebe. This means she requires Echoes that specifically enhance her abilities, as there are few dedicated supporters available for her at this time.
Top Echo Sets for Phoebe
|
Eternal Radiance (5-piece) |
This is Phoebe’s best Echo set, granting a 10% bonus to Spectro damage and increasing Crit Rate by 20% when enemies are affected by Spectro Frazzle. Furthermore, it provides a 15% Spectro DMG Bonus when enemies have 10 stacks of Spectro Frazzle. |
|---|---|
|
Celestial Light (5-piece) |
This set serves as a solid alternative for Phoebe, particularly for new players without access to Rinascita. It can deliver a maximum of 40% bonus to Spectro damage, though it doesn’t provide any buffs for Spectro Frazzle. |
Best Primary Echoes for Phoebe
|
Echo Name |
Set Name |
Reason |
|---|---|---|
|
Nightmare: Mourning Aix |
Eternal Radiance |
Transforming into this Echo allows you to deal 273.60% Spectro damage to enemies, and the damage increases by 100% when targets are affected by Spectro Frazzle. |
|
Mourning Aix |
Celestial Light |
Transforming into Mourning Aix allows you to inflict damage with two instances of 157.44% and 236.16% respectively. |
Best Echo Stats for Phoebe
|
Cost 4 |
Crit Rate or Crit DMG |
|---|---|
|
Cost 3 |
Spectro DMG |
|
Cost 1 |
ATK% |
Consider including one Energy Regen in Cost 3 if Phoebe’s Resonance Liberation takes too long to recharge, though this isn’t recommended since two Spectro DMG bonuses significantly enhance her damage output, and the absence of either would impact performance noticeably.
Best Team Compositions for Phoebe
Phoebe is a Spectro Frazzle character, and there are limited characters that synergize with her abilities. The only character currently using Spectro Frazzle alongside Phoebe is Spectro Rover, which restricts team composition options.
|
Phoebe / Spectro Rover / Changli |
This is the best team setup for Phoebe at the moment. Phoebe and Spectro Rover enhance each other’s effectiveness through Spectro Frazzle, while Changli serves as a quick-swap damage dealer. However, this composition lacks sustain; players should dodge effectively to survive. |
|---|---|
|
Phoebe / Spectro Rover / Shorekeeper |
This team offers greater sustainability compared to the previous option, but foregoes Changli’s damage. Nonetheless, Shorekeeper provides buffs to Crit Rate and Crit DMG, assisting Phoebe while also restoring health to keep the team afloat. |
Phoebe’s Traces Overview and Priority
Phoebe may have a unique gameplay style, but her abilities are straightforward to grasp. However, there are a few key elements you’ll need to familiarize yourself with to optimize her gameplay.
Here’s a breakdown of Phoebe’s abilities to help you navigate end-game content effectively:
- Phoebe’s abilities revolve around two key states: Absolution and Confession. You can switch between these states by holding the Normal Attack button for Absolution or the Skill button for Confession.
- A Prayer gauge located beneath your Forte bar fills up automatically and allows you to transition between the two states once it’s full.
- The Absolution state boosts Phoebe’s damage output and is essential for achieving high damage numbers. Conversely, the Confession state allows you to stack Spectro Frazzle on foes, focusing on damage over time.
- Activating your Outro Skill in Absolution state amplifies damage, while in Confession state, it reduces the enemy’s Spectro resistance and enhances the effects of Spectro Frazzle.
Phoebe’s Resonance Liberation is also influenced by these states. While in Absolution, you deal massive damage, but in Confession state, the effects of Spectro Frazzle become amplified.
When playing Phoebe, aim to use your skills until the Prayer bar fills. Depending on the situation, switch between Absolution and Confession. Remember, you can’t have both states simultaneously, so you must choose wisely while tackling various end-game challenges.
For leveling priorities, focus on the following order: Forte Circuit > Resonance Skill > Resonance Liberation. While you can enhance her other abilities, it’s not as crucial since her primary damage comes from Forte Circuit and Resonance Skill.
