Wuthering Waves Doubled Pawns Matrix: Pilot Team Guide & Tier List

As a brand-new high-difficulty periodic challenge, Doubled Pawns Matrix: Pilot not only tests the depth of your character roster and weapon pool, but also simulates an extreme battlefield environment featuring high pressure, prolonged combat and ever-changing scenarios. So what powerful teams are viable for clearing this event right now? This guide helps you out.

Core Mechanics

We must clarify the core mechanics of this event, as they decide team viability:Each character and weapon is usable once only, testing your roster depth. For well-prepared players, allocate 5-star weapons to main DPS first and use lower-tier options (permanent/ battle pass 4-stars) for supports, prioritizing main DPS damage. The BOSS gauntlet requires solid single-target damage, pursuit and anti-interruption. With a 2-minute time cap, rotation smoothness is key — keeping rhythm beats rushing for damage.

T0 Tier

Carlotta & Zhezhi：It boasts maxed-out single-target damage stability, never losing track of the target throughout the fight and eliminating output gaps caused by BOSS movement. With well-balanced interruption resistance and rotation capability, it’s a top pick for new players or those with a shallow roster. It suits all single-target BOSS fights, especially ideal for those with frequent movement but fixed attack patterns.

Zhezhi

Lynae & Augusta & Iuno：Centered on Lynae as the core damage dealer, this team pairs her with Augusta and Iuno (leveraging Augusta's high interruption resistance and Iuno's interruption immunity). It boasts exceptional damage output and ranks among the top-tier single-target damage teams in the current meta. Augusta provides consistent interruption resistance while Iuno remains immune to BOSS disruptions throughout combat, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience. Its only downside is Lynae's slow initial skill cooldown; be sure to stack energy with normal attacks at the start to avoid early-game output gaps.

T1 Tier

Teams in this tier excel in specific BOSS scenarios or come with a slight learning curve, yet their overall strength is more than enough for efficient clears, making them ideal as second-tier picks.

Pyro Team

Centered on Lupa as the core support, this team pairs her with a Pyro main DPS (e.g., the Captain) — it capitalizes on Pyro's advantage against aerial BOSSes and Lupa's supportive prowess.Maxed-out survivability & pursuit capability: Little disruption is suffered from BOSS ground attacks while in aerial combat. Lupa not only provides massive damage buffs (top-tier buffer performance) but also grants 3 automatic dodges, greatly lowering the skill ceiling and boasting an extremely high survivability margin for error.Smooth rotation with zero downtime: Skill cooldowns perfectly sync with energy regeneration, resulting in almost no skill gaps throughout combat. Additionally, Pyro DMG deals extra bonus damage to aerial BOSSes, making the damage efficiency 15%-20% higher than teams of other attributes.Minor downside: The Captain’s Anchor Skill in the team carries the risk of misfires. Players need to familiarize themselves with the BOSS’s attack intervals and cast it accurately when the BOSS stays stationary, avoiding wasting the skill cooldown.

Cartethyia & Ciaccona

High damage floor; Cartethyia & Ciaccona have great skill synergy for steady damage rhythm in combat, ideal for low-mobility, small-range BOSSes like ground heavyweights.Drawbacks: Poor pursuit leads to target loss vs highly mobile BOSSes. Both melee units are easy to hit by BOSS elbow strikes (point-blank heavy hits), requiring frequent dodges and basic player skill — new players must practice dodge timing.

Phoebe & Zani

Core: Ranged DPS, Guaranteed Survivability

Safe Damage Output: Phoebe (ranged) attacks from afar, staying safe outside BOSS range to deal stable damage; her stun skills lock down BOSS movement for ultra-fast rotation.Reliable Survivability: Zani’s max tankiness with a big shield draws BOSS aggro, shielding Phoebe from harm. No rhythm disruption in combat, perfect for new players.Ideal for BOSSes with frequent melee attacks but safe ranged zones (e.g., slow ground BOSSes), solving the problem of melee units taking continuous damage.

Zani

 

T2 Tier

It features a unique mechanic — the longer combat lasts, the higher the damage bonus grows — making it ideal for high-HP, long-fight BOSSes. Its late-game damage can gradually catch up to T1-tier teams.Survivability is extremely challenging: Both team members Roccia and Cantarella are melee units. Roccia has poor interruption resistance and gets easily stunned by BOSS elbow strikes mid-skill. Cantarella stays in close proximity to the BOSS during normal attacks, leading to a high chance of being hit. Players must precisely time their dodges; otherwise, a wipe is likely, resulting in a far higher skill ceiling than other teams.
