WuWa Tier List 3.7: Best Wuthering Waves Characters Ranked

Looking for the latest WuWa tier list 3.7? This guide ranks the best Wuthering Waves characters according to their performance in endgame content, including Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes.

Version 3.7 introduces Hsin, who enters our S+ tier as one of the strongest Main DPS options in the current environment. Qingxiao, Aemeath, Hiyuki, Yangyang: Xuanling, and Sigrika also remain among the highest-rated damage dealers, while Shorekeeper, Suisui, and Mornye continue to lead the support categories.

Suoming is also associated with the Version 3.7 update, but her banner phase was not yet available when this article was reviewed on October 8, 2026. She is therefore listed as Pending Review rather than receiving a speculative final tier. Version 3.7 officially launched on September 30, with Hsin featured during Phase 1.

This tier list focuses on practical account value rather than damage-per-screenshot showcases. Team requirements, rotation difficulty, survivability, investment cost, and performance across different endgame modes all affect a character’s final position.

WuWa Tier List 3.6 at a Glance

The following standards are used to keep the rankings consistent:

• Five-star characters are evaluated at S0.
• Four-star characters are evaluated at S6.
• Characters use an accessible R1 four-star weapon where possible.
• Rankings consider both Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes.
• Signature weapons and additional five-star Resonance Chains are not required.
• Characters are judged using functional teams and realistic combat rotations.
• A character’s reliance on premium teammates may reduce their overall account value.

Tier and Characters
Version 3.7 ranking status: Hsin is included as a fully released Phase 1 character. Suoming is confirmed as a 5-star Electro Sword Resonator, but her placement remains pending until Phase 2 opens and sufficient live endgame results are available.

*Jingran’s S-tier position is provisional while more S0 endgame results become available.

Hsin’s S+ placement is an editorial rating based on her early Version 3.7 performance and overall Main DPS value. It is not an official ranking published by Kuro Games.

Suoming has not been assigned a permanent tier because her live performance, optimal rotations, teammate requirements, and S0 endgame results still need to be evaluated after her release.

What Each Tier Means

A lower tier does not mean a Resonator cannot clear endgame content. A completed A-tier team can perform better than an unfinished S+ team with poor synergy.

Best WuWa Characters by Role

Characters are compared within their main combat roles. Main DPS units are judged primarily by damage and field-time efficiency, while Sub-DPS and Support characters receive more credit for buffs, off-field damage, healing, grouping, and rotation value.

Best Main DPS Characters

Characters	Advantages
Hsin	She entered the current character tier list as an S+ main DPS character. Her powerful output in the early game gives her a very high damage ceiling, making her an important member of late-game teams. However, her ultimate value still depends on the teammates, weapons, and Echoes available to the player, as well as the ability to consistently execute her skill rotation.
Qingxiao	ranks among the leading single-target damage dealers in Version 3.6. Her direct combat loop and boss performance make her especially effective in Tower of Adversity. Her value falls slightly in multi-wave stages and teams that cannot support Tune Strain.
Aemeath	combines high damage with consistent endgame performance. She works best with compatible Fusion teammates but remains less dependent on a single encounter type than many specialist carries.
Hiyuki	provides strong Glacio damage and effective burst windows. Her performance rises further when the enemy lineup and stage modifiers favor Glacio teams.
Yangyang Xuanling	She possesses powerful Havoc and Critical Strike damage with a high potential, but maximizing her potential requires a suitable team and a smooth skill rotation.
Sigrika	pairs competitive personal damage with useful team interactions. She is a strong choice for players who want a Main DPS that performs consistently across different encounters.

Other viable Main DPS characters include Luuk Herssen, Cartethyia, Phrolova, Augusta, Galbrena, Carlotta, Jinhsi, Camellya, Jiyan, and Xiangli Yao. They can still clear endgame content, but may require greater investment or more specialized teams.

Best Sub-DPS and Hybrid Characters

Characters	Advantages
Lynae	She has high account value because she can support multiple powerful damage dealers without requiring excessive playtime. Her versatility ensures she remains useful even when players switch their main damage dealer.
Lupa	contributes both personal damage and team amplification. She is particularly valuable in teams that can fully use her Fusion-related support.
Suisui	combines damage, utility, and defensive value. She may not lead personal damage rankings, but the number of responsibilities she can cover makes team building easier.
Denia	provides off-field damage and amplification for compatible Fusion and Tune Strain teams. She becomes more valuable when paired with a Main DPS designed around those mechanics.
Suoming: Pending Review	She is expected to provide hybrid damage output and team support capabilities. However, her ranking needs to be evaluated through in-game testing, including her S0 skill damage, skill rotation, energy requirements, team compatibility, and performance in Tower of Rebellion and Howling Wasteland. She remains in "pending review" status until testing is complete.

Lucilla, Qiuyuan, Ciaccona, Iuno, Chisa, and Rebecca remain powerful alternatives, but their effectiveness may depend more heavily on team composition, enemy type, or rotation requirements.

Sanhua and Mortefi remain accessible Sub-DPS choices. Their four-star status can make them easier to obtain and develop, especially for newer players who have not yet built a large five-star roster.

Best Support Characters

Characters	Advantages
Shorekeeper	has one of the strongest combinations of healing, buffs, and team compatibility. Her ranking comes from account-wide value rather than personal damage.
Mornye	offers sustain and team support for lineups that match her mechanics. She can be more valuable than Shorekeeper in certain specialized teams, but is less universal.
Suisui	can also fill a supportive position while contributing damage and utility, allowing her to cover more than one team requirement.
Verina	remains a practical general support. Her straightforward healing and buffs make her useful for new players and accounts that need a second endgame healer.
Baizhi	can cover early sustain needs without limited-banner investment, although her rotation and team contribution are generally less efficient than the higher-ranked supports.

Tower of Adversity and Whimpering Wastes reward different combat strengths. A character should not receive the same rating automatically in both modes.

Version 3.7 Tier List Changes

Hsin is the most important addition to the Wuthering Waves 3.7 tier list. Based on early Version 3.7 performance, she earns an S+ position as a high-value Main DPS with competitive endgame potential.

Her placement reflects personal damage, practical clear performance, rotation quality, and the availability of functional teams. Players should still consider whether they already own a heavily invested S+ Main DPS before using Astrite on another carry.

Suoming is included in this update, but she does not yet receive an S+, S, or A-tier position. Pre-release kit information can help players understand a character’s intended role, but it cannot fully demonstrate real combat performance.

The final review should test:

• S0 performance with accessible weapons
• Energy and rotation requirements
• Compatibility with Hsin and other damage dealers
• Dependence on premium teammates
• Tower of Adversity clear performance
• Whimpering Wastes consistency
• Comparison with existing Sub-DPS and hybrid characters

After sufficient live testing, Suoming can be moved from Pending Review into the appropriate permanent tier.

Jingran remains provisionally placed in S tier. His HP-scaling damage, self-shielding, and Heavy Attack performance remain promising, but the provisional marker should stay until enough comparable S0 endgame results are reviewed.

How to Use This WuWa Tier List

A tier list should help you make account decisions, but it should not be the only factor determining which character you build or pull.

Before investing resources, consider the following:

1. Check the role your account is missing. A new S+ Main DPS may provide less value than an S-tier support if you already own several well-built carries.
2. Review the character’s preferred teammates. Some characters are extremely powerful in their best team but less impressive without specific supports.
3. Consider your available weapons and Echoes. A character using an accessible weapon may be easier to complete than one whose performance depends heavily on a signature weapon.
4. Compare different endgame modes. Characters suited to short Tower of Adversity rotations may perform differently in longer encounters.
5. Account for player comfort. A slightly lower-ranked character with a comfortable rotation can produce better practical results than a mechanically demanding meta option.
6. Avoid pulling only because a character is ranked S+. Tier placements can change when new characters, Echoes, weapons, enemies, or team combinations are released.

Players planning their Version 3.7 pulls can also check our Wuthering Waves 3.7 pull count guide to estimate how much Astrite and how many free pulls may be available during the update.

If you have already used your available Astrite and need more Lunites for a planned character, you can top up Wuthering Waves through UUTOP. Check your UID, server, and selected package before completing the order.
