Encore Best Full Build Guide -- Wuthering Waves

Although Encore's appearance rate isn't very high in the current meta due to power creep across versions, as a standard 5-star character, she remains a solid main DPS option in the early game, with relatively low team-building requirements.

Therefore, in this article, LDShop will revisit Encore's Best Full Build Guide with everyone—covering Weapons, Echoes, Materials, and Team Compositions. After all, who can resist an adorable pink-haired girl with twin tails?

 

Encore Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Fusion | Weapon: Rectifier

Encore is positioned as a Fusion main DPS, with her primary source of damage coming from her Enhanced Basic attacks after using Resonance Liberation, followed by her Resonance Skill and Resonance Liberation damage. She is quite effective for beginners during the early-game phase. As a transitional character, investing a moderate amount of resources in her can unlock surprising burst potential in this adorable little girl!

 

Encore Kit Breakdown

• Dual-State Kit: Encore operates in two distinct modes: her normal state and her empowered Cosmos Rampage state (from Resonance Liberation).
• Primary Damage Source: Her core gameplay loop revolves around activating her Resonance Liberation (Cosmos Rave) to enter the Cosmos Rampage state, where her Enhanced Basic Attack (Cosmos: Frolicking) becomes her primary source of sustained damage.
• Seamless Combat: The enhanced kit during Cosmos Rampage allows for fluid combat, integrating empowered Basic Attacks, Heavy Attacks, and even a transformed Resonance Skill without leaving the state.

 

Encore Skill Priority

So, to maximize her damage, players should prioritize her skills with different priority:

Skill	Priority
Resonance Liberation	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Top)
Forte Circuit	⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High)
Resonance Skill	⭐⭐⭐⭐(High)
Intro Skill	⭐⭐⭐(Low)

Encore Weapon Recommended

Best Choice

Stringmaster (Top)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 500 | Crit.Rate: 36%

The simulation assumes all passive effects are active at the rotation's start. Yinlin's signature Rectifier is universally recognized as the premier choice for nearly all damage-dealing Rectifier users, including Encore. Its dominance stems from an exceptionally high CRIT Rate stat, a substantial universal boost to damage, and a straightforward ATK% bonus that is easy to activate. This combination solidifies its status as the top-tier weapon in the game.

 

Second Choice

Rime-Draped Sprouts (High)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 500 | Crit.DMG: 72%

This simulation assumes a rotation where the Skill is swiftly canceled following the Intro Skill but prior to the Ultimate. Although its widespread use does not rival Stringmaster's, Zhezhi's Signature weapon performs exceptionally well on Encore. Its value comes from high base attributes and a ramping Basic DMG Bonus that activates with multiple Skill uses—a requirement Encore meets without difficulty, albeit while deriving no benefit from the off-field damage component.

 

Alternatives

Cosmic Ripples (Mid)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 500 | ATK: 54%

This weapon is Encore's premier choice from the standard banner, granting her a significant ATK boost alongside an escalating bonus to her core source of damage, Basic Attack DMG.

 

Augment (Low)

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ATK: 412.5 | Crit.Rate: 20.25%

Exclusive to the Battle Pass, this Rectifier delivers high values of both ATK and CRIT Rate, serving as a simple but highly effective stat-stick for her.
